Weekend Wackiness....

This weekend has run the gamut from  eh.. to great ... to insane. Maybe inane is a better word?

Once again we go back to this poll, three more people are still on my list of "need to make something." The most recent finished project is here. For the really curious, it's going to be heading out to [livejournal.com profile] ldygwynedd. I have a pretty good idea of what to do for two of the remaining three people on that list.

Friday night, I got in a bit of RP, but mostly, I played with my Sims. Saturday afternoon and early evening I had another Sims marathon session. I was working on stitching the cover onto the memory album, I decided that I was going to watch an episode or two of the A&E Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. I never did get to that...  While I was attempting to remove the box of DVDs from the outer slipcover, I did a stupid and learned a valuable lesson. DO NOT stick my thumb into that push slot! I broke the nail and it was not pretty. Close to the quick as they say.  Ending up using sandpaper to file it as I couldn't find an emery board.

However, the night got better after that minor fiasco. An opportunity for RP presented itself and I had, as [livejournal.com profile] pharos_anchor likes to say, an awesometastic time.

That brings us to Sunday. I was all energetic and ready to tackle the big cabinet in the garage. In order to do a proper job of it, I had to clean the kitchen table so everything could be brought in for sorting and proper labeling. That meant putting away the bottles we got yesterday and rearranging some glassware. I got the liquor put up alright, but ... putting up the glassware was a bit of a challenge. I had the foresight to put everything on top of the fridge (the cabinet where I was storing them is over it). I got on the short step ladder and figured I'd be done in no time flat. Let me tell you, it was a good thing I was NOT hauling glasses up with me. Seems the twenty year plus old aluminum step ladder decided to give up the ghost right then and there. I remember thinking... "Oh, hell, NO, I am not landing in the hospital with a broken whatever again!" I did land on my ass and will probably be quite bruised in a day or so. Funny thing is, only my knee hurt until a couple of hours after the fact. Now, I have a dull aches in various parts of me, but my idea of a dull ache is someone else's idea of... "Holy shit that hurts!"

So, on Monday, I have three packages to mail; one to GA, one to CO, and one to FL. Hopefully, we will get the Explorer over to Midas to have the exhaust system looked over. I want to see if I can find sandalwood oil to make some soaps.  I have laundry and a few minor things to attend to, but should be able to get that cabinet done on Tuesday or wait until Wednesday when both of the boys are at work. Need to call Jessica and find out if Aaron got his box as the tracking receipt says a notice was left, but it wasn't picked up, yet.
