This weekend I sent RAW off for an adventure to God only knows. Since he was still recovering from surgery but mostly because his birthday fell on Easter this year, I told him he should go out and travel the countryside now. I took Friday and Monday off so he could go. He headed for New York state.
Hollace also had Friday off so we went to Ikea. I wanted to get some more small box frames that I love from there. They only had one! I was bummed so I flagged down an Ikea employee who found out those frames are being discontinued but there was a box in another section. I filled up my bag with them. I bought 14. I also bought a blue chair to go with the 2 chair bistro set for the patio.
On Saturday we headed out to Crown Point to see the folks and some quality time with Sherry.
I tried to treat all to a nice dinner (Sherry, mom and a to go box for dad) but eventually they all in some way or another paid me back. Back at Sherry’s later we made plans to go to Ravinia in July so she bought the tickets. Now I have to go check out the artists we are going to see–a group called Five for Fighting and Michelle Branch. Sherry wants to see them, me not so much but I am sure it will still be fun.
I am so indecive when I am down there trying to split my time between the family and Sherry. I don’t want either to feel slighted that I don’t know what to do. It would of been so much easier to stay at Sherry’s for the night but at the last minute decided to go back to mom’s to sleep.
On Sunday, Sherry, Hollace and I went to the mall where I was on a spending spree. I bought a popcorn maker, some clothes and a really cool wallet for more money then I think a wallet should be but I could not resist, it was too cute.
I don’t think the older woman check out lady could fathom it LOL. It was only $48. After she said she thought that it was cute seemed shocked at the price and that there was no sale price then tried to talk me into getting a Carson’s charge to get 25% off.
We went to Red Robins for lunch. While there the hot sunny skies turned dark and a storm approached (exactly when I thought it might).
We got back to CP where we waited the storm out before Hollace and I made our way back home. As soon as we got home, the skies darkened again and another storm hit but we were safely home.
Tomorrow Hollace goes back to school and I have the day to myself. I told RAW he couldn’t come back early LOL. Now is time to review my to do list so I don’t waste that time then go to bed.

edited to add:
I just remembered why I came here to write about my weekend. It was to talk about my boring never do much life and how it impacts Hollace. I was feeling guilty about that this weekend but now I am tired and don’t really want to write more so I will have to examine that at a later date.
