We took the weekend at a slow stroll even with the spotty rain it was pretty laid back, for the most part…
We kicked off our lazy weekend with some pizza and some play time with Ripley. She’s getting stronger by the day and holding her head up and wanting to follow voices and sounds around the room. Sometimes this works out and sometimes she almost topples over. Either way it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen! Especially when she just coos and grins like a lil’mad woman.
Saturday morning I headed out to help James & Masako do some moving, their apartment is really nice and we’ll defnitely being coming back over to check it out in greater detail. When I got home and cleaned up we headed out to Target which Ripley handled rather well as we cruised through picking up a few odds and ends. Snagged a Mindwipe on clearance, which was awesome! Before headin’ home to some more lazy time with the family.
Sunday was going rather well with an active start and then a trip to Publix for the week’s food stuffs. We got home, unpacked, fed Ripley and laid her down for a nap. We didn’t want her to sit up during The Crazies which we started and almost finished, just at about the climax of the film the lamp inside our TV decided it had done enough and with a simple “POP” the picture faded, to screams inside a car wash. We stopped the movie and made the diagnosis, yup blown lamp. We worried about the replacement cost but ended up finding a lamp and assembly for a mere $80 from apexlamps.com, we’ll see how it turns out. Of course Kellie is wondering just what we’ll do with almost two days of no TV, but I think we’ll be just fine. More quality time with the Ripley and some time to maybe sit down and catch up on a few things we might otherwise wait til the weekend to do.
It was a great weekend with the exception of the bum lamp. Hopefully moving Wallom and next weekend will be just as easy going.
