My Week

This week was a pretty darn good week! I’m so loving this time of year, more sunshine, more day light, warm weather. It all makes me want to do stuff! I’m also loving Tumblr! Look at all the posts I’ve done this week! I actually posted everyday! It’s just so easy and quick to do: )

Besides all that I’ve posted, Mother’s Day presents and hair cut, I still did a quite few more things. I spent the last half of the week trying to sew a pair of pants. Unfortunately, I’ve made myself way too stressed out trying to finish it and I’ve made a few mistakes (which I learned later was because of misprinted instructions). Also, I don’t know if it was because of my sewing errors, but they were pretty tight around the tummy area. It’s sad because at first glance, these pants look fine, but they’re not. I put them away and come back to them in a few weeks or so, seeing if I can save them.

Both moms loved the gifts I made them: ) My mom already has her coasters on the coffee table and Rob’s mom will hopefully use her pillow on their road trip this week. My mom told me I should make my dad a neck pillow for Father’s Day, I think that would be a great idea!

Today, Rob and I took the dogs to Latta Plantation. A historic site that has hiking trails, picnic areas and a lake to fish and take your boats on. It was our first time there and we just loved it! We spent about an hour or so walking the trails. It was so nice and the dog enjoyed themselves very much. We went down to the shore and Molly was totally excited to go in the water, which she hates when she’s at home, hee hee. And it’s so close to us that we’ll be going a lot. We’ll also have to have a picnic there, visit the raptor center and the plantation itself.

Movie of the Week:

The Truman Show: This is one of my favorite movies! I first saw this in the movie theaters and a few times after that. I love the look and feel of this movie, all it’s modern retro costumes and sets. And Jim Carrey is just great in it. I really like him in more serious roles, ‘specially this movie and The Eternal Sushine of a Spotless Mind.

Book I’m Reading:

Memory and Dream: Oh yes, I am still reading this! I only have about 40 pages to go. Can I finish it before it’s due on Wednesday?! hee hee. I am enjoying it, but I’m finding the main character a little annoying and wish I could slap her and say, “Hello?! Seriously??”. But I’m learning other characters in the story want to do the same. Can’t wait to start reading another Newford book and really get to know the city and more of its awesome creatures.
