This unintentional mini blog break just sorta happened. Even though fun and interesting things did happened at the PLRH household, I just didn't feel particularly bloggy.
So what did happen?
Friday my Sweetie returned from his conference in Orlando. I was so happy to see him. Not just because he brought back presents but because I really and truly missed him. This is significant. You've got to understand that I'm Miss Independence and usually look forward to my time alone. But instead I missed playing footsies with my Sweetie for two nights.
After dinner my Sweetie and I watched The Girl Who Played with Fire. Luckily, the boys opted to do other things when they realize subtitles were involved. There was some graphic girl-on-girl action in the movie that I had forgotten about from the book. Sweden must have a very lenient rating system on their movies.
Saturday morning we went on a tour of the Southeastern Guide Dogs facility. I'd love to be a puppy raiser but I'm not too sure how Molly would feel about that. Plus I'm not even allowed to have live plants in my office building. I can't imagine a live dog would go over very well.
Afternoon nap. Awesome!
Then all four of us saw The King's Speech. My Sweetie obviously must think this is a remarkable film because he claims that he's never seen a movie more than once in a theater. Not even Star Wars. The boys seemed to really enjoy it as well. This time it was showing at the theater by our house and we ran into a few people that we knew. One couple was there based on our recommendation.
Last night my Sweetie and I watched a little bit of the Golden Globe Awards. Apparently, there are a lot of TV shows out there winning awards that I've never heard of before. I sat there wondering if I should maybe watch some of them. But I quickly dismissed that idea because I have no clue when I would find the time. I did learn that HBO turned one of my favorite (epic) novels, Pillars of the Earth, into a mini-series. I'll have to look for that on DVD.
Today the boys had off from school and I from work. The sky threatened to rain but never did. I wondered what it would be like to live someplace where it rains all the time for a year and then movie back to Florida.
I very much would have liked to curl up with a book and read if it had rained. But alas, no rain and I really don't enjoy the books I'm reading at the moment. Three non-fiction books for work purposes. Yuck. I'm no not a non-fiction type of girl. It doesn't help that one is a small paperback with tiny print and I have over-40 eyesight. This particular book is the only one that's ever made me wish that I had a Kindle so I could enlarge the print.
One of my favorite things about having the odd holiday off from work... the time to make a yummy dinner that I normally wouldn't be able to squeeze in the schedule. Tonight we're having stewed chicken with andouille sausage, rice, and cornbread. Mmm!

When am I coming for dinner?
Sounds like a perfectly lovely weekend! I, too, tried to catch some of the Globes and realized that I hardly knew any of the shows. I'm getting old!
Sweden's a wacky place, for sure.
Dinner sounds yummy!
Wow, I didn't know you were into Southeastern Guide Dogs. A friend of mine is a major mucky-muck in their organization. She raises the dogs. We've thought about getting into that, but with three cats, I'm not sure how well that would work. And dogs are much more work than cats. Also much more difficult to stuff in a pillowcase with some bricks and toss into a lake, as some of my cat-hating friends would point out.
Sounds like a great weekend. Glad S is back where he belongs.
