The Weekend's Over...Welcome Back to Work

Sadly, the weekend is over. We had a great time with Stu's parents and friends - it was a relaxing, slow and comforting weekend and I'm glad it's a close-by getaway. We went down Friday night and then Saturday we went out for brunch and went to Goodwill where I found some awesome stuff! [more on that later] Then we went home and fixed lasagna for Stu's parents and later hung out w/ some of Stu's friends from high school. Sunday we slept in until 11:30 [we'd stayed up until 3:00 a.m. that morning] and then 'chillaxed' until dinner when Stu's sister and niece came for dinner. We watched some X-files and called it a night. We got up this morning to meet Stu's mom's friend for breakfast at Waffle House and then made our way back to Columbia. The only bad thing about the weekend were the ants. In our car. Needless to say, Stu had fun playing exterminator once we got home...

Stu is now the proud owner of the worst suit I have ever seen. It was $10 at Goodwill and is perfect for costume parties or for a villain in one of our short films. It's a mustard yellow, black-striped '80's suit. Absolutely horrendous.

I found a shirt I'm going to wear for RPG nights this summer [no joke, it's perfect for my character], along with nice pinstriped pants for work and a flowy Renaissance shirt w/ cool sleeves. We also found a mini grand piano [as in, 1/12 scale] that Stu's mom bought for me for the dollhouse.

Stu's mom also went to a flea market and found a bunch of dollhouse stuff and bought it all for me! There's an adorable little bench, a baby carriage, a hat, a tricycle, a lamp, a butter churn, 2 candlesticks & candles, a small square table and a side table...I can't wait to play dollhouse tonight!!

Anyway...I'm excited about my new story, Violet's Monster. I've written out what needs to happen and I think it's going to end up around 75-100 pages, which was a lot longer than I had thought it would be originally. We'll see how it goes. I'm even more excited that I got to talk about it with Stu last night and iron some things out in the storyline - and he's excited about it! :) We even talked about adapting it into a movie [which I would give him the rights to], which would be awesome. :)

Bye for now.
