Wow, it was a good weekend. Okay, all you Firefly and Serenity lovers (you know who you are), I am about to be on that bandwagon! After weeks of Peter dithering about how *maybe* we'd accidentally recorded the recent TV showing of Firefly because it was on at the same time as what we had previously been recording (Andromeda? Star Trek? something...), I took matters into my own hands and went to Borders and bought the damn DVD set. WHOOT! And Kidlet had a sleepover on Saturday so we got to drink wine and watch the first disk (the pilot and two episodes), which was *great* fun. Give us, oh, a week or so and we'll be ready to go out and see Serenity on the big screen. YAY!!!! Big *hugs* to klostes for inspiring and encouraging the Firefly love, and letting us watch it the first time at her house. Kaylee (Kayley? Keileigh? How the hell is that spelled?), for some unknown reason, strongly resonates with me. Shiny! And I love Gina Torres in *anything*. Really, am I the only person who ever actually liked Cleopatra 2525?

And more... Kidlet did her volunteer stint at the Sea Center, so Peter and I went to the downtown Farmer's Market, strolled around, listened to many buskers, ate at a little funky French crepe place, examined Vespas (I suggested that they might be great retirement vehicles...), felt relaxed. See this pattern developing? Kidlet does more outside things. Sally and Peter do more things together. Sweeeeet.

Also did five loads of laundry; two more to go. Towels and bedding, yuck. My mom used to change the bedding every single week. I, um, don't. Usually. Sometimes.

Oops, I'm going to be late to sewing tonight. I'm patching old torn jeans and turning them into hippie heaven! Ironing on floral fabric sprays, to be followed by elaborate beading and embroidery and bling. As one of my grad students (who shares a like interest in all things blingy), I'm just like a magpie. Oooh, shiny!

Hee! So I don't have to feel quite so guilty that you spent your weekend here watching TV with my guys? *g*

And the jeans sound lovely!

I watched the DVDs last week specifically so I could go see the movie, and now I keep calling things shiny. And my sister swore by using the word gorram this morning.

My plan, exactly! And bwahaha, don't you just love the swearing and the slang? *Too* great. We're halfway through the second disk now...

We shall see how the jeans turn out... long way to go there. And hey, I remember a weekend filled with good food, and laughter, and great conversation, and belly dancing, and visiting a new city with a fantastic bookstore and downtown market and old-timey restuarant, and making new friends, AND watching some TV with your guys! And yeah, it was a great weekend.

Heee! We're into the second disc now (Kidlet was home sick yesterday and got herself all the way to the third disc), and now I *finally* know why you're using titles like "Big Damn Movie" and "Big Damn Heroes"! I am *so* loving this show (and so are Peter and Kidlet).

Ahahaha! That was actually *me* replying to your comment, not "anonymous". Duh. *head full of fluff*

"What does that make us, Zoe?"

"Big damn heroes, Sir."

YES! *g*

The love will only grow, it will. I can't wait until you watch "The Message" and "Objects in Space." And I want to go to the movie with you!

Whaaa!

It was a *great* weekend; the guys still ask about you and your family and about how you're all doing. Next year?

[shiredancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I'd *love* next year! Maybe we can meet halfway between? Somewhere around the border?

Can't wait to watch more, but this weekend is out -- Kidlet's 13th birthday. Oy.
