Landon spends most of his computer time checking out NFL scores and tracking his favorite team (The Atlanta Falcons).
Randy invested (it was $7 for this tiny bottle) in some Gorilla Glue to fix our fridge shelf (thank you Deidra for the advice).
I was happy to find the kids playing checkers together after Whitney finally cleaned the room (it's always her mess, never his).
My mom and I (and eventually Lori) went to lunch and Christmas shopping. The tomato basil soup and half a BLT combo was good, but I definitely could have managed a whole sandwich.
Quick, look out your windows for flying pigs, my mom now texts!

I took my coupon binder out for its first shopping excursion and it failed me miserably. Granted, I hadn't done my store research before the outing, I had just hoped to have coupons for some of the cleaning products I needed, but I didn't end up having any. Hopefully I'll fair better next week when Smith's does double coupons.
Adam and Amy were at the house for game night when we returned from shopping, so the grilled cheese sandwiches and chips and salsa were all ready for us. My mom went home, but Lori stayed and then Robyn and the kids came over too.
Why wouldn't Spiderman be hanging from the family room lamp?
It was a good Saturday, but I'm sad it's over. I have lots more things I need to do around the house before going back to work on Monday (hello resentment) and they won't get done because they're not Sunday-type activities. I'll just have to manage my time well after work each day next week, but right now I'm feeling pretty snippy about that. It would help if I actually saw some money from working, but I get paid monthly and my first (and only) check was for my first 5 days of work and was direct deposit so I never saw any of it. The next one will come AFTER Christmas...how's that for brilliant? Say it with me, I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful, I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful.
**What did you do today?
Have you done much Christmas shopping?
Do you enjoy a good BLT?
Do you have any Gorilla Glue?**

Comment Window Tidbit: Shouldn't the weekends be 3-days? I'm just saying.

Lots of things to say, and I'm purposely STANDING at my kitchen bar to say them, so I won't get TOO comfortable if sitting down.
I'm making peppermint bark & toffee and have got to stay on track!
1. Please take me with you to double-coupon-shop. I won't be able to manage, otherwise. However, taking me with you means you may also need to bring A VENTILATOR because I will need to yoga-breathe to stave off coupon-induced anxiety.
2. Your mom is beautiful.
3. In every picture featuring Adam on your blog, he always--always!--has a hilarious and expressive look on his face.
Someday I'm going to hide in your closet during game night so I can hear him tell jokes.
4. Yeah. I'm not a stalker.
5. Sheesh!
the list is long and my type-A personality is having a hard thinking that all things that I think need to be done for Christmas might not get done!
That Spiderman has Whitney written all over it.
This is a good post for capturing a Saturday!
I think that eventually you will like direct deposit. My "main" job pays me direct deposit and I love it, one less trip to the bank/errand to run! My contract jobs give me a paper check though and the kids love when those arrive in the mail because they remind me to get cash for allowance when I go to the bank. That stinks that you won't get paid again until after Christmas. But at least the $ is on its way, right?
Yes, I do think the weekends should be 3 days. Do you get Christmas break off? That will be a nice respite for you, hopefully!
The spiderman cracked me up. Somehow him with the gingham ribbon was just funny.
i used to think i didn't like tomato soup but now i love it. (i've been "food immature" for a long time, slowly coming out of that....)
i hate when weekends go too quickly. this one was super busy with family in town. and now it's almost monday again. boo.
sorry about the monthly paycheck, that would take some planning but at least it's a paycheck to look forward to.
Weekends really should be 3 days.
I can't believe you don't get paid until after Christmas! Even BYU pays early in December! Oh, that hurts.
I don't have Gorilla Glue, but I've heard it has many uses. Glad your fridge works again!
I really haven't done much Christmas shopping, I am so behind this year.
That Spiderman with the gingham ribbon just made me smile. Whitney.
I need to do more Christmas shopping, but I've been brainstorming ideas, so hopefully the shopping won't be too frustrating. I also lament the drop of weekend commenters.
I love the family game nights you have, and I think it's wonderful how close to live to your family.
I love the Spiderman on the lamp—it gave me a homey feel!
And I can't say that I enjoy a BLT. Not liking bacon or tomatoes much kind of rules that particular sandwich out for me.
Also, I can relate to needing more weekend time now that I'm working. Time management is key for me now. I started off the week by meal-planning on Saturday and grocery shopping accordingly. Here's to doing it all.
ah, the sunday conundrum...weekends take on a whole new meaning, no?
at times i find sunday house projects to be soothing to my soul. while i'm working i think about how thankful i am to have a home of my own, what 'home' means to me, ways that i can make my little home a better place to be, what i can do to invite the Spirit in, etc. i love dawdling around on sundays, putting things in order and cleaning things up because i love the feeling of being home, in my little place in the universe.
