The Doofi
- Friday Mr. A passed his driver’s test. Yeah! So far there hasn’t been too much whining about buying another car so he and I don’t have to share. Mr. A hasn’t complained too much either.
- G-Man started his own Facebook account Friday evening after dinner. The little punk has more friends than I do!
- Saturday morning I got a pedicure. What is it about freshly polished toes that makes a woman feel sexy?
- This weekend was the tax-free shopping holiday in Florida. The masses were out doing back-to-school shopping… including us. I’m so thankful that I have boys but they can be pains to shop with too. From now on I’m taking them separately. Besides that, do you have any idea how hard it is to find size 14 running shoes?
- I managed to find a couple of cute tops and a dress for myself!
- Mr. A runs into someone he knows almost everywhere we go! He knew the hostess at the restaurant Friday night. Salesperson at the Levi’s store. He knew the girl working the Chik-fil-A drive-thru. We chatted with two of his former teachers at Marshall’s and he knew one salesperson. Then we ran into two of his friends at the grocery store and then one at Staples.
- After shopping Saturday I took a guilt-free nap.
- We watched Little Miss Sunshine and ate Chinese take-out Saturday night. I love that movie. My children have also learned to say “…in bed” after reading a fortune. Now my husband AND children say it. I’m so proud.
- While I stood in my kitchen Sunday morning sleepily making tea, Capital One called because they suspected some charges on my credit card. Who calls on a Sunday morning??? Anyway, last week I purchased a high-speed graphing calculator for my eldest son on Amazon. Someone swiped my info and bought some computer software and cell phones online. I’ve got to say that I was impressed with the credit card company’s customer service.
- I made G-Man go in Ulta with me so I could buy some cleanser. He decided to anoint himself with some Ralph Lauren Polo Double Black cologne. It might smell great but I’m allergic to all Ralph Lauren cologne. We drove home with the windows down and it was 92 degrees outside.
- Mr. A and I went to Staples to buy him his THIRD Cross pen/pencil combo since Christmas. I think he should get one of those ball link chains they use at the bank to secure the pen to his backpack.
- For dinner on Sunday I thought I would make crab cakes with homemade remoulade sauce and salad. I’ve never made crab cakes before and suddenly it seemed like a lot of work. So I made a pie instead. The pie was a little juicy so it looked more like a casserole. The guys loved it and went back for seconds. I was simply pleased with the remoulade. Emeril has never let me down.
The crab cake turned pie turned casserole.
Overall, it was a busy weekend and I’m tired. I did pay attention to my theory of expectations however. It’s true. First I plan and then I expect. Life isn’t perfect and I shouldn’t expect it to be.

Sounds like you had a lovely weekend! (except for the credit card info theft...but at least the bank was on it)
Learned years ago. The quickest way to be disappointed was to plan or expect something. Now taking life one day at a time flying by the seat of my pants. Much less disappointed. Don't know I missed it if I didn't plan for it.
Your weekend make me tired.
Let me know how the FB thing goes for G-man. I'm glad the D-Man isn't pressing for it now. Good for you and that tax-free shopping for yourself--I was thinking of doing it myself but spent too much on oil paints. Ha! Ingrid always used to say "in bed" after all fortune cookie messages...and everything else! STILL haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine.
