Finally some peace....

We've had the lovliest weekend so far and I really feel that it was about time things went our way. I feel so peaceful now. (Yes, I'm still sad about the MIL incident but it's not foremost in my mind now)

Evan is at my parents' house for the weekend. My mom wanted some special one-on-one time with him before school begins. And apparently he's having a blast over there and behaving himself like a little gentleman.

So, it's just Josh, Abby and I at home. It's quiet since Abby has no one to fight with or tease. *phew* Last night we went out to Tiger Direct in Naperville and bought a new computer and new flat screen monitor. I feel so disloyal to my beloved lappentoppen when I say this, but I love the new computer. It's fast, it's quiet, and the 6 button works. Wooohoo! It's going to be a great help when school begins. So after we got the computer Josh took us out to Spaghetti Warehouse and we had the best time. I even won Abby a silly stuffed dog in one of those prize crane machines.
Today, we worked on cleaning out the garage. It was a mess! It's been sort of a wasteland for things we don't know what to do with since we moved in. Apparently it also doubles as a guest room for pissed off family members, LOL. (See, I *am* healing...I can joke about it now!) That was not fun of course, but I am pleased that it got done. Well mostly done, we need to take some things over to Salvation Army.

After we dealt with that, we went and picked up some Happy Meals and went over to the NIU Lagoon for a picnic. It was so nice to sit there and eat lunch and watch the ducks and geese. Abby loved walking around with them. She fed them some of her french fries too. While she took a nap, I got to play SIMS 2. I forgot to mention that it came around lunchtime today...wooohoo! How's the for service, I just bought it on Ebay yesterday! Anyway, I love it so far!

Tonight we are just staying in eating leftovers and taking it easy. Ah, what a relief. Tomorrow we are planning to go the Taste of Roselle. I am also looking forward to seeing some of our belly dance classmates preform. It should be a fun time!
