weekend at the homestead…

February 8th 2010 in family, kaitlyn, shannon, television

it was an extremely uneventful weekend at our house this weekend for which i’m very grateful.  i hate having to run and be constantly busy every weekend.  it gave me a chance to catch up or rather should i say start and finish season one and two of the show ‘true blood’.  i had heard it was good and that if you liked twilight you should give it a try.  i did and i’m hooked.  after mentioning it on facebook, several people said i should read the books as they were EVEN better.  so this morning, i bought the first four.  i hope they’re good…i’ll bet they are.

we didn’t watch the superbowl.  i wouldn’t have minded watching but since my bears weren’t in and no one else seemed interested…i let it go.

kaity came over to borrow the car.  she found a puppy on craig’s list that she wanted and wanted to use our car to get it.  turns out, it’s a pit bull.  ugh.  why?  everyone says if they’re raised correctly that they’re sweet loving dogs….until they’re not.  i’m not sure how serious she and her boyfriend really are but if i have grandkids…i would prefer that they not be mauled by a pit bull.  ’nuff said.
