my weekend, randomly preserved in bullet points

• slept in on Saturday and Sunday. sheer bliss.
• this was after moving to the couch Friday night because someone around here makes a lot of racket when he sleeps.
• nursed Phil505 back to good oral health. I didn't really do much. Put some ice in a ziploc and tried to remember not to squeeze his cheeks.
• which is hard because he has unbelievingly squeezable cheeks.
• this was after taking him to the oral surgeon Saturday afternoon for the extraction of one broken molar and one irritating wisdom tooth.
• yes, a Saturday visit to the oral surgeon. the dentists around here like keeping Portland weird.
• made Phil505 some homemade soup and stocked up on mashed potato packs and yogurt for the soft food diet.
• declared my new found love for Tillamook yogurt.
• it's way more creamy than Yoplait, but I'm sure it tastes better because of the extra calories and additional fat.
• made sure to get him some ice cream too. it was a tramatic event afterall.
• and my dad always stopped and got us ice cream after tramatic events.
• washed dishes five times the old fashioned way and am currently running the dishwasher. we are only two people. I can't figure it out.
• took advantage of the sun this afternoon and planted all the flowers. with cow poop. felt all the Farmer Kline Blood in me coming out.
• Bring on the tomatoes! I'm running out of salsa. Barbara, I may have to invade your pantry.
• am taking plenty of Aleve in preparation for being unable to get out of bed and walk tomorrow morning.
• but it's worth it looking out the back door and seeing the place all spruced up.
• chatted with mom, sister, nephew, and niece - who declared she cries sometimes because she misses me.
• didn't believe her until sister says, "Yep, some nights she cries because she misses her Aunt Dee."
• reminded sister that that's when you give your daughter the phone so she can call me.
• assisted another nephew with some history timeline homework. from 2,000+ miles away.
• scrapbooked in my December Daily. Ya, I know. It's almost May and I'm still not done. Shoot me.
• made my usual Sunday night bag of 100 calorie popcorn and wrote this blog post.
