I really had every intention of writing a whole post about our weekend on Sunday night, but then I saw Jane Fonda wearing a green pantsuit at the Grammy’s and that was pretty much all I could think about.
On the one hand, all those aerobics in the 80’s appear to have paid off in spades. But on the other hand, Jane has a lot of look going on with that.
So I ended up being sucked into the Grammy awards which let me feeling more than a little confused about life and fashion and society in general and, by the time I remembered that Downton Abbey was on, I was too tired to stay up to watch it. Further confirming that I am really keeping the excitement turned up a notch here.
And, honestly, our whole weekend pretty much involved this.
On Friday night P was at the ranch so Caroline and I went out for a girls’ dinner and then we all went to bed pretty early because we had to be at the soccer fields fairly early. I’m trying not to think about the fact I can’t remember the last time I got to sleep in until I woke up of my own free will because I’ll get too depressed. I’m really hoping this coming weekend will be the charm.
We left the house on Saturday morning and I sorely underestimated how cool it was going to feel at the soccer fields. I had on a fleece and a puffer vest, but the wind was howling and I was in need of a parka. Instead I just used P as a windstop and watched the entire game standing behind him with only my eyes peeking over his shoulders to watch Caroline while my teeth chattered. Which is why it’s embarrassing to tell you that when we got back in the car to head home between games, the temperature on my car thermometer read 55 degrees.
What can I say? I am a girl who will request a light jacket when it’s 80 degrees outside.
After the game we picked up breakfast tacos and rested for about ten and a half minutes before we drove back for her second game of the day and then we stayed to watch one of her friend’s play and by the time we got home it was basically dinner time and we ate leftovers and went to bed.
I wish I could at least tell you I wore a green jumpsuit like Jane Fonda as I did all this, but that would be a lie.
Sunday we had more soccer and I nearly froze once again even though I did in fact wear my heaviest coat to ward off the frigid fifty degree temps. In my defense I bet the wind chill was every bit of forty-nine degrees. But then by the time Caroline had some friends over later that afternoon they were all in shorts and t-shirts and it was 80 degrees outside.
Have I just written an entire blog post about the weather conditions in Texas? I can’t apologize enough.
I wish I could tell you that Monday was more interesting and it totally was if you consider the fact that HEB was completely sold out of mint M&M’s to qualify. Wait until I tell you I had to go to Target to find them and ended up leaving there with not only the mint M&M’s but a new throw blanket that was on clearance for $9.99, some new socks, and a pair of leggings for Caroline.
I know. It’s almost too much.
I mean it’s no green pantsuit, but it’ll suffice.
