Score!!!

How was your weekend?

Really, on a scale of 1 to 10, what's your score?

Ratings, baby. It's all about ratings.

I'd say the Royal Couple's weekend was a 9.

Barack Obama def a 10.

Osama B*n Laden a negative 200.

Navy Seals who brought down B*n Laden, definitely a 10.

Mine pales in comparison.

I'd give my weekend a solid FIVE.

I worked--even when I wasn't at the showroom,

I was working.

Recap:

Friday morning, 

I went house-hunting. (8)

The first house was a shocker--

totaly remodelled to my delight (10)

but the masterbath was the size of a phonebooth.(2)

The 2nd house, as it turned out was the home of an elderly man

who recently died--

and was the parent of a friend.

That was a unique and un-ratable experience.

Joseph voiced that it made him uncomfortable to be in a house

where someone had passed away,  

but I told him that because of that fact,

the house was a sacred place, and if it fit our needs,

we would be blessed living there.

Just as we felt the home he was born in,

is a special place to our family,

so is the other home where that good man had left this life

to return to Heavenly Father.

Later Friday,

I went shopping with a decorating client.(9!)

I love shopping with other people's money.(10!)

That's a fact.

We picked up some great things--

candlesticks,

huge clock,

large wicker basket 

some forsythia and other green florals to put in it,

and a great oval mirror to put over a sideboard.

I'm taking pics as we go

and will share them once we're finished.

The rest of the day

zoomed by and before I knew it,

it was time for dinner. (8)

Arianna was at the Denver Museum 

with the other 4th graders in her school

for an overnight experience--

which she loved!! (10)

She got to sleep in the "South Pacific" room,

where, she claims a bird stared at her all night long.

Anyway,

Daisie was also gone from the house,

so it was just Mr W, the Boofus and I for dinner

and we let Boofus choose where to go out to eat

and ended up at a place called "The Golden Corral". (7)

We hadn't been in decades--

the Boofus, never.

So it was a new exciting experience to eat at a Buffet!

There was more food than I can recall 

but I can tell what Boofus ate:

meatloaf 

sliced peaches

ice cream.

pizza.

In that order.

It was delicious and painful. (8)

We ate so much we hurt!

lol

After dinner,

I took Mr W over to look at the two homes I'd looked at earlier. (8)

Then I headed over with my realtor

to help her stage a house. (9)

We were there until 12:45am Saturday--(-3)

and up until about 11pm,

I was having a blast. really.

But, as I told my realtor and the homeowner,

my creative abilities go to sleep around ten pm

so I couldn't be trusted after that.

We staged for nearly 5 hours. (during daylight hours I'd give it a 9, but in the middle of the night, -4)

When I got home, it was all I could do,

to not collapse into bed,

clothes and all.

I was beyond tired.

Mr W made me breakfast in bed--

an omelet with 505 Green chile sauce on it--(10)

yum.

And then my day took off.

I worked all day Saturday at the showroom,

and once I made it through the day,

came home to a delicious dinner prepared by Mr W

and rested.

He is so good to me.(10)

I had those two houses running thru my mind

still.(3)

Had we made the right decision to pass on them?

I got up from my comfortable place

and took another peek online for any new houses to look at,

when 4 new listings popped up! 

One is in my "dream area"!

I'm gonna look at it today.

(Peri, it's in your neighborhood!!!) (9)

Another is the exact floor model of our beloved home

on Coberd*le, (10!)

which would make my life so easy,

as moving there would take the guess-work outta 

where to put people and things!

Cross your fingers and toes that my search is complete.

I'm off too look at those houses,

work with a client,

do some shopping,

and somewhere in all of that,

I want a nap. (def 10!)

So see? the weekend had it's shares of highs and lows,

but overall,

I lived to tell the tale--
Five, Definitely.

What about your weekend?

Score it!
p.s. Did I mention it snowed off and on all weekend?
