Our weekend has been very nice and very relaxing. Friday I watched another Netflix pick: Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series. Two movies on the DVD. I watched one movie Thursday and one Friday evening. I read all of Agatha Christie's books years ago and now enjoy watching the ones that have been made into movies. I enjoy the movies with Christie's other sleuth--Hercule Poirot as well.
First thing Saturday morning I watched another Netflix pick: Hawaii's Hidden Treasures. It's an IMAX film. I love Netflix---theire selection is huge--there is an endless variety to choose from.
Saturday Bob and I decided to head to the mall to do some shopping. We had the best time. We both bought a lot new of clothes. I had all my gift certificates to use. I bought mostly new "fun" clothes for the summer. Bob bought some very nice clothes for work.
Looked pretty cloudy and gloomy when we left in the morning and the majority of the day it threatened to rain and we did get some sprinkles here and there. When we left the mall we could tell it had rained some, but not much. It was sunny and it was much warmer than I thought it was going to be and of course I loved that. We went to Lone Star, had a nice lunch and came home.
While at the mall, I tried on several sundresses. I didn't buy any -- mostly because they were too expensive and weren't on sale. But, it did inspire me to come home and sew my own sundresses. I started working on one dress last night. My new sewing table is perfect. And, it is so nice to be able to shut the door when I'm done and not worry about the cats getting into everything. I didn't have to worry about leaving the pins, scissors and so on out. Just shut the door and go.
Today Bob told me he will be going to Phoenix, AZ on business next week. Omigosh! How I wish I were in a position to be able to make a snap decision and go with him. I have never been there. I know it's not terribly far from The Grand Canyon. I know if I was going along, I'd be heading to The Grand Canyon during the trip. UGH! I want to go!
Last week he went to Purdue University for a meeting. He's never gone to a university for a meeting before. He will be going there again, he said. I would have enjoyed that trip, too. For one, since our office works with so many colleges and of course Purdue is one of the schools we send recruiters, I would love to see the campus some time. But, in addition to that, I would have taken the opportunity to see Janie---a very good friend of mine that I've known since kindergarten.
And, speaking of trips, we have a trip coming up in June to Orlando. I am so looking forward to that. Mei-Fen sent me some wonderful ideas of things to do. We will study her list along with the list I made and come up with some plans. I want to spend one or two days at Disney. I just want to hit my favorites--and especially Epcot. I want to walk around the world and watch the light show they put on at night over the water. But we didn't want to do just Disney. I want to see other things, too.
I'm planning to do some reading today - a perfect way to end a very relaxing weekend.
