Weekend At Brandi's

The weekend started out a bit sad. I was surprised by a sneak-attack of some emotions I wasn't expecting to have and the delivery of some legal documents from the county clerk. I was sad and lonely and frustrated; remorseful, guilty, embarrassed, and after work on Friday, I came home and crawled into bed and slept for 2 hours before I had to pull myself together to go get Mackenzie from school. We ended up putting on our jammies at 5:30 and losing ourselves in some movies all night long, munching on popcorn and candy.

Saturday was slow. Reading the paper, cleaning a bit, talking on the phone with friends and family, then we went to Jeff and Singing-Lisa's for dinner. But not before taking a much overdue Saturday Self-Portrait (which is better in small format because what is actually in focus in this photo is the bookcase behind me...duh)(on the bright side, the 'soft-focus' hides my wrinkles!):


And as we don't care too much about the Superbowl (I know - I'm an embarrassment to Indiana) we went to the mall today so D could spend his Christmas and Birthday money that's been burning a hole in his pocket and I needed to snag a couple of work-suitable, on-sale items as my closet is full of stay-at-home-mom jeans, t's and sweatshirts - all super-comfy but unfortunately, very inappropriate for the workplace.

And to prove to everyone that Mac and I are going to be fine:
