This weekend

what was supposed to be a relaxed and quiet and no-plans weekend turned out to be quite eventful. I am sure you all have read from T's blog that we now have a cleaner come in once a month. Friday was the first time they came in and boy was it, how should I put it? Interesting... First of all, I don't have school or work on Fridays so I was home the whole day. I caught up with my shows, did some laundry, hang out with the cats, did little homework and just took it easy. Then around 5:30-6pm T texts me that she's on a long line and probably won't make it in time for 7:30 when the cleaning lady will be coming...Oh boy, I never met the woman because when T interviewed her I was in school and didn't have a chance of meeting her and then the whole "You a lesbian?" thing...so I was little nervous. T asked me if I was OK if she told them to come early if they could since I would be home anyway...I said OK. T tells me they're on their way and so I open the garage door for them to get in...I wait and I wait and no-one shows up. Then it's 7:30 and T comes home. She calls the woman to ask where she is and turns out she's in traffic.
Then she got lost.
Then she got lost again.
T's on the phone with her trying to get her to our place. The gate has been closed for about a month now so visitors need to enter our number in the keypad and call us when they arrive so we can let them in. Since T is on the phone with them, they can't call her so she's spelling my last name to them. It took almost 15 minutes for her to trying to direct them through the phone before she finally decided to walk to the gate and open it herself. You could see the smoke coming out of her ears! We were frustrated! They were 45min late. Once they arrived they were all apologetic and nice so we couldn't stay mad for them for long. That wasn't the best first impression though. We left them at our house and went for dinner. We ate at our local fave Italian place, Johnny Carino's, cheap, good and big portions and tried to relax. Our waiter though was another blood pressure riser! Slow and didn't know her menu or desserts. How can you not know your Italian desserts if you work in an Italian restaurant?

After dinner we went back home where the cleaners had just finished with upstairs and were half way through with downstairs. Bailey was nowhere to be seen but Sox had been in the midst of things the whole time supervising that it was done properly and that everything was OK. The cleaners did a good job and we decided to have them come over once a month to do the cleaning we don't want to do ourselves.

On Saturday morning we were sitting in our living room looking at each other and not knowing what to do. We usually do the cleaning on Saturday mornings but since that had been done the day before, we didn't have to bother. T had gone to the hairdresser earlier that morning and we had thought about going to march to protest Proposition 8 in Upper Montclair but since it was raining and T had just had her hair colored and I had my foot in a boot (which is open and not a good wear in the rain) we decided to go do a little shopping instead! I had some things I needed but wasn't in the mood for a mall so we thought we'd go to Woodbury Commons and see what we can find from there. T called her mom and we made lunch plans. Her mom was also babysitting for Carly that day so we wanted to see her as well. We went to T's brothers Billy's house, passed Carly around from one lap to another and then left for lunch. After lunch we did our shopping, I did some damage at Gap and Aeropostale and then went to T's mom's house. Her other brother Johnny and his wife JoeAnn was there so we hang out for a few before they had to leave. We played with Carly but then decided to leave when Billy called and said there was a tornado warning in effect until 9pm that night. We did not wanna wait around for it to pass especially since we had plans with T's cousin Celeste so we left. The whole day had been exceptionally warm, it was about 20 degrees Celsius by her moms which explains the tornado watch. When we got home it was raining like crazy and there was a tornado watch in our neck of the woods too so T called Celeste to tell her to stay in. So we had a rain-check (hehe). We'll watch sex and the City another time.

Instead we caught up with Desperate Housewives. We had 3 episodes we hadn't seen and we watched them all. There are so many shows and sports on on Sunday nights that we don't have time to watch DH or Dexter or Brothers and Sisters...And since DH is on demand we can watch it anytime so it's the last on our list. Football usually takes over. Being a part of a fantasy football league makes it even more interesting. We sit in front of our TV, both of us have our computers on and I check the FF scores while T keeps us informed on the Eagles games. Being in the NY market area means that we get to see both the Jets and the Giants but unfortunately the Eagles are not on often. It only happens when they either play one of the prime time games or play against one of those teams. We hate the Giants and since Brett Favre came to the Jets I have not been able to cheer for them anymore so the first two games are kind of a bore in a way. And for some reason Eagles always play at the same time as the Giants so chances of them being on TV in our area are very slim. I have seen more Steelers, Chargers, Colts and Browns games that I care for! and it seems that they are always playing either on Sunday or Monday night, recently also on Thursday so they are force fed to you! ARGH! We want Eagles...Although yesterday...good lord! They tied the Bengals. TIED!!! That hasn't happened since 2002 and they give you 15 min overtime to score! What more can you ask for?!?!?!?

On Saturday night T got sick. She's now swallowing sandpaper, looks like she has a fever, has a headache, aches all over and overall is feeling lousy. It just came on out of nowhere. Saturday during the day she was fine but when we were watching DH it just hit her like a ton of bricks. We didn't really have anything for cold in our house so I was just giving her tee with honey. Poor thing was laying on the couch all day yesterday. She tried to help me with cooking and stuff but I told her to rest. now she's at work feeling like crap. I hope she gets better soon and I really hope I won't get it from her. ((((T))))

Anyway...I need to go do some work now...Later!
