Behind the 8 Ball Weekend Recap

(Source   "But...I was told...there would be a weekend.)

Seriously...where did it go?  We were behind the 8 ball all freakin' weekend with not a ton to show for it because the things we did get done were things that didn't do much to clean.  

Friday day, I took down all traces of Fall.  It was no longer pleasing to look at and just stressed me out.  Friday night just seemed to suck down the tubes after doing a 3 miler around the hood late afternoon and instead of incessantly scrolling a crappy list of shows that were never going to change, I told the Mr to put on Six Feet Under from Amazon.  Well, that's no longer free so he ran down to grab the DVD.  We watched the first episode then later on watched the second one and just over halfway through, it had a meltdown and stopped working.  We watch this MAYBE every 3 years or so, so I'd say that disc has been pulled out maybe four times and should not have had the scratches it had.  We tried everything and ordered a DVD re-surfacer because even if it didn't work with that disc, we have 400+ DVD's and the one we used to use for CD's always worked well.  We did make a late night Target run and I see the great toilet paper shortage is back in full effect, at least there.  *SMDH*

Saturday morning, I couldn't walk from the walk the night before (we even rolled...well.) so the Mr had to give me a rather extensive leg massage before I could do anything, like, stand.

We hit a local place that does sticky toffee pudding for a limited time.

I know it doesn't look appetizing but inside there is toffee goo and we topped it with the infinitesimal scoop of vanilla bean ice cream they gave us in another container, drove to an empty part of the parking lot and blissed out so we could enjoy it both hot and cold as God intended.  I would say I must learn to make it, yeah...I do need to learn to make it because I'll make it once and it'll likely be so time consuming just like everything else, I'll only make it once a year anyway.   We went to a place a few years ago that was run by a real Brit and I thought we were going to gag when we tried his version.  There was nothing sticky about it and it tasted like burnt cake.  Ugh.  So I do recommend you try it if you see it on a menu because when done properly, it is the most heavenly thing you'll ever put in your mouth.  Yep, even more than that.   

(Wonder how many of y'all went straight to the gutter?)  😆

It was raining but we did a nice drive in the country because I was in no mood to go back home just yet.  I got a framed print I was waiting on in one piece, no thanks to the FedEx guy who threw it on the porch with authori-tah and then proceeded to take FOUR things from our one snack, one drink cooler.  Dude, don't ruin it for everyone.  I'm still messing with the mantel a bit but did get the greenery going.

Sunday, I made pancakes with mix I'm pretty sure either had crappy leavening or really means to say milk when it says you can use milk or water.  TJ's pumpkin pancakes are that way too and they always turn out a flat mess.  Just say milk.  I don't know what difference that makes.  I'm considering adding 1/2 tsp of baking powder to every batch regardless since I have such poopy luck with pancake mixes.  Then it was a lot of busy work, stringing ornaments, packing and wrapping.  Before we knew it, it was 4pm and we were wondering where the heck the day went.  We went down and worked out with a brutal LIIFT 4 Back and Bi's workout, the Mr went to pick up two orders while I worked on this and then it was dinner and that's about it.

Oh, and if you would've told me that I wouldn't have my friggin' tree up in a year when people were like "it's November 1st!  Put up the tree especially this year!", I would've called you a liar.  At this point, who knows when the hell it'll go up.  I've got Christmasy touches up just not the star of the show.  

How was your weekend?
