Where did the weekend go?

Where did the weekend go?   What do you mean, it's Tuesday already?

My brother was in town, so Ben and Ryan decided to spend the night at my Mom's house on Sat. to hang out with the cousins.   It's not a bad thing, but it's really chaotic at Mom's when we are all there--just think, 8 kids running around, all aged 20 months to 12 years. 

It's a bit too much.

My Nana fell early Fri morning and broke her hip, so we had that on our minds as well.  (She's fine.  She had surgery Sat and was released to a rehab center yesterday.)

Speaking of Saturdays...

Saturday Six - Episode 92

1. Do you generally tend to be early, late or right on time?

I am always late.  A little bit late.  I blame the kids, of course.  Someone always needs the bathroom.  Or forgot a toy.  Or is running back in for "one more thing.."  I get points for trying to be on time though, don't I?

2. Did you belong to any clubs in high school? If so, which did you value the most?

My high school didn't have a lot of clubs, not that I can recall.  I was in Student Council, but that's about it.  The things I valued most were the sports teams I was on and the baton twirling (I'll admit to it).

3. Where was your favorite place to hang out when you were in high school? How often were you there and were you usually with friends or alone?

I used to hang out at home, or at my friend Jenny's house, or in Mr W's car (ahem).   On weekends, everyone would cruise around our tiny burg and meet in the parking lot in front of Yellow Front/Pizza Hut, and just mill around in ways teenagers are not allowed to anymore.  This was interspersed with hanging out at the home of ______. (person with no parents home/persons with understanding Moms)

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What chess piece are you? (Thanks to Charles.)  I'm a:

A White Knight

Gallant, bold, independent, and strong, you consider yourself somewhat above the law. You laugh at obstacles in your way, ignoring them as if they were not there at all. Despite your independence, you do have loyalty to your team and King and Queen. For this reason, your opponents fear you-- but they also know that you can sometimes overreach. You are quick to take the initiative, working to control as much of the situation for your team as you can. In the long run, however, you cannot win the game alone. It is impossible for you to checkmate your opponent all by yourself, so you appreciate and value your teammates.

No one fears me.  What a bunch of hooey.   :p

5. When is the last time you played a board game and what game did you play? Did you win?

I played Candyland...can't remember when, but in the last month or two, I'm sure.  No, I didn't win, are you kidding me?  That Sugarplum chick is mean and she cheats.

6. You're called to serve on a jury. Would you rather sit on a capital murder case, a personal injury case, a wrongful death suit or a drunk driving case, and why? 

I may be cursing myself by saying this, but I've dodged the jury bullet so far.  (Nursing is a beautiful thing.)  It doesn't matter, either, because I think when I say my husband is a cop, my brother is a cop, some of my good friends are cops, and the defendant is (insert expletive), they'll say "Next."
