Yucky finals!

I can't wait for next weekend when I don't have to worry about finals and studying anymore! This weekend was pretty boring for the most part, plus it sucked to have to get up at 6:30 am on Saturday to go to the review class for Introduction to Law. At least the review was a little helpful to help me remember what was learned earlier on in the course, but I still prefer my sleep in Saturdays.

The 49ers beat Brett Favre's ass this weekend and it was totally awesome! Of course, the sports channels are not really giving the 49ers much credit because the Jets "are supposed to be the better team", but the 9ers beat them fair and square. I guess people just are not used to the 49ers doing well yet.

It has been cold lately and even though we keep the thermostat at 68 degrees, even G admitted the apartment felt cold last night. We had no burn nights all weekend too, so no cozy fires to keep us warm. My sweatshirt and fleece throw blanket helped when we watched Finding Neverland last night.

I can't wait until next weekend when I finally get to have some fun!

Fresno and home

Well, it's back to the grind after the long weekend. Unfortunately, I was super restless last night and tossed and turned for an hour before I finally fell asleep. Now I am a zombie on the busiest day of the month at work.

Thanksgiving day went well for the most part. There was lots of food, partially due to the smaller crowd at G's aunt's house this year (20 people is a smaller crowd, lol). It was good to catch up with everyone, and even when the election came up, everyone was pretty much civilized in their conversations (totally not that way with my family get togethers). G was really happy to see his grandpa the following day and the visit actually was really good. An old man hit on me in the dining room at the retirement home, so I guess I am fresh meat to old men.

It was nice to drive home on Saturday and have dinner at mom's house because I love her stuffing and the deep-fried turkey. It was super yummy and we got to eat leftovers last night. It was also nice to come home to the kitties, because I missed them so much! It looked like all they did was fight the whole time because there was Bear fur everywhere, but they seemed happy and healthy.

Yesterday was awesome because the 49ers finally won another game! It was a somewhat boring game considering the final score was 10-3, but any win is a win in the record books. Now I get to look forward to seeing AC/DC tomorrow night. I can't wait!

Shopping and baking

This weekend was pretty fun, for once, except for the 49ers losing yesterday. On Saturday, my mom and I went to Union Square to go shopping for ourselves, since most of our upcoming shopping will be for others. Surprisingly, we did not buy much. We both bought two bras at Victoria's Secret, which was a necessity, because neither of us have purchased bras for quite a while. My old bras are starting to fall apart and show their age, so I am glad to have some new ones to "perk" me up again. I also bought three shirts at Old Navy, but I think I am going to return one because it does not really look good on me after all. Mom had fun seeing the city, even though she said it looks a lot filthier than the last time she shopped there. I guess the street vendors and homeless people reminded her too much of Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley.

Sunday was pretty much a stay at home and get some stuff done day, as usual, except that G actually stayed home all day as well. I baked a whole bunch of cookies for the Thanksgiving potluck at work tomorrow, plus some for us and mom and my brother. They are a triple chocolate chip cookie with oatmeal and they turned out pretty good. The baking also helped warm up the apartment a little, although G ended up building a fire in the evening. We had mom over for a barbecue dinner, watched some television, and called it a night.

I guess I should have enjoyed the fire G built last night even more than I did, because tonight is a spare the air night and we are not allowed to burn anything. I guess I will just have to turn up the thermostat when I get home from work so we do not freeze tonight. Thank goodness our comforter is so warm!

They finally won!

Woo hoo! The 49ers finally won a game! Even though they played a really crappy team, the Niners finally won! After sitting on the couch most of the weekend with a bruised/tweaked ankle, a victory was great. I am a little bit scared about next week's game against the Cowboys, but the Niners definitely showed a lot of improvement yesterday.

Yeah, my ankle was not happy this weekend. I think the shoes that I wore Friday made my foot upset, because I did not notice any pain or swelling until Friday night when I was wearing my harmless slippers. G thinks it is sympathy pain for his swollen and painful knee, which was the result of smacking the trailer hitch on his truck really hard. The only good thing is that I survived today with minimal pain and I was able to walk to BART this morning.

I did make some really yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this weekend, and G has really been enjoying them. He still complains about his knee pain, but that's how men are. He tells me to suck it up and walk to BART this morning because I have been "babying" my ankle, yet he still bitches about his knee. Men!

Uneventful weekend

Once again, I had a nice relaxing do mostly nothing weekend because G left me alone to go work on his friend's truck both days. I felt guilty on Saturday that I had not cleaned the apartment at all, so I baked him some cookies which helped. Saturday night, we finally watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I have been wanting to see for a while. We were unable to see the movie when it first was released because it was right before the wedding and our weekends were pretty much consumed with pre-wedding activities. It was a pretty good movie, especially with the male full-frontal nudity which is a rarity in movies. G liked it for the most part as well.

Sunday was kind of a lazy day, but I did manage to clean both bathrooms since they were bothering me too much not clean them. We had dinner at Mom's house, which was the first time she had really cooked since Easter. It was nice to hang out in the house I lived in for 25 years, because I miss the old place sometimes. Nothing has really changed, except for my brother adding another girl into his rotation of fuck buddies, although I think last night's girl is more of a drug buddy. She is also the step-sister of my brother's main squeeze, so I will be glad that I don't live there anymore when the shit hits the fan.

I am so happy that the 49ers are playing tonight, because I have been going through withdrawals now for the past two weeks. I hope that they got some shit together during the bye week and hopefully the coach will not be dropping trou in the locker room tonight. I will miss kickoff because the game starts at 5:30 pm, which is when I am riding BART home, but I will hopefully get to see the majority of the game with a glass of wine in my hand. Here's hoping the 9ers kick Cardinal ass!

Finally good 49er news

I know this is terrible to say, but I am so happy that the 49ers finally fired head coach Mike Nolan yesterday. Being a 49er fan during the past few years has been a trying experience, especially with Nolan leading the way. The 49ers need a coach that is willing to take risks in order to win a game, unlike Nolan who was just too conservative with his play calling. I was so pissed on Sunday when the Niners were down by 10 points with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and on fourth down with five yards to go, Nolan had the Niners punt the ball. Um, how will punting the ball away help your attempt to put points on the board? Hopefully interim head coach Mike Singletary will be able to finish out this season better than Nolan could, but taking the reigns mid-season is not going to facilitate a smooth transition. I just wish that this decision would have been made in the off-season, because the 49ers could have had a better record built up by now, instead of a 2-5 record. Here's hoping the next nine games show an improved team. :)
