Dinner and some movies

This weekend was pretty low key – the story of our life right now.  But I’m not complaining, it’s going to get busy pretty soon.  Although not soon enough for me.  I’m getting super anxious (even more so than before if you can believe it) for the baby to actually be here so I can see and touch our baby.  Friday after work, I went to Target to supplement our groceries while Casey finished up work for the week.  That was pretty much it for Friday night, we started watching TV and I got sleepy so took a nap for an hour and a half, then woke up had dinner (cereal) and we finished watching TiVo’ed shows from Thursday (Smallville and CSI). 

Saturday, Casey had to get up at 6 for server maintenance.  He thought it was only going to take about 10 minutes and then he’d be able to come back to bed.  That wasn’t the case, he was up for several hours helping the moron on call and ended up doing much more than he should have to get the job done.  He noticed that it was pretty cold in the house and when he walked downstairs the thermostat said 57 degrees.  We like it colder when we sleep but this was just too cold.  The heat was set to kick on at 64 and hadn’t.  Casey went to check if the pilot light blew out and found out we need some type of heat filament replacement.  He manually lit the pilot light Saturday and Sunday and kept the heat running just enough to heat up the house for the entire day (meaning he made it overly hot so it would eventually cool to a comfortable temperature).  He tried Googling to find the part we needed ($40-60) so we didn’t have to replace it but it appears that we’ll have to call in a professional (most likely due to safety regulations).  We didn’t do it this weekend because we figured the rates would be jacked up since it would be considered an “emeregency” and we could most definitely make it through two days without the heat.  It’s always something. 

With all of the work we’ve been doing on the backyard, I haven’t bothered mopping or waxing the floors in the kitchen.  Especially before we got the rock in place, dirt and sand were everywhere because of the exposed soil.  Now that we’re pretty much finished back there for the season, I decided I couldn’t take the dirty floors any longer.  I cleaned the baseboards and the walls on the kitchen (the dogs may be pretty short but they seem to grow several inches when it comes to getting gunk on the walls) which took 15 minutes by itself, before even starting on the floors.  The wax I have is made to be used by hand.  Waxing the floor on my hands and knees made me realize how big our kitchen really is or it could have been the fumes making me think that.  So after an hour the wood was gleaming, I was tired, and the house was filled with fumes (I forgot to open a window beforehand, oops). 

Saturday night we met my parents for dinner at Fiesta Jalisco.  My dad keeps joking that I’m going to have a Mexican baby because most of the time when we do meet my parents for dinner, this is where we go.  After having a nice dinner with them we went home and started watching movies I had Netflixed.  First, we watched ‘The Ruins’.  Casey had asked me to add it to my queue since he had read the book and wanted to see if the movie was worth watching – it wasn’t.  But we watched the whole pointless thing and were grateful it was only an hour and a half.  Then we started trying to watch ‘Good Luck Chuck’ but I got so annoyed I had to turn it off within the first 15 minutes.  We ended up just watching ‘The Sweetest Thing’ again instead. 

Then yesterday (as I already posted) we finally got the stairs done.  They didn’t end up drying nearly as quickly as I had hoped so Casey had to put leashes on the dogs and walk them around to the backyard and then he’d lift them up and then hoist himself back into the house himself.  Fortunately, the dogs didn’t need to go out in the middle of the night.  At least I don’t think they did.  They never wake me up though, they always stand on Casey’s chest and start licking his face.  I guess I’ll find out when he gets up.  Hopefully the stairs are dry today so Casey doesn’t have to do this again while he’s working.  Fortunately the dogs don’t go out too much during the day so he won’t have that many trips if the stairs aren’t dry. 

I don’t know if I posted about this or not (I don’t think I did), but I got my Hypnobabies home study course in the mail last Thursday.  I’ve already read through most of the book and got the CDs onto my iPhone this weekend.  The course is broken down into 5 weeks with a track off one of the CDs to listen to each night.  Last nigth I listened to my first track.  I’m really hopeful that this works for me in creating an easy and fast birthing experience.  Other than that, we watched the Broncos beat the Falcons, caught up on The Office (even with a dual tuner TiVo we still can’t record all the shows we want to watch), and then watched our Sunday night shows.
