My weekend

Just because I'm sure you're all sitting around wondering 'whatever could BeeBee be doing this weekend?', I'm going to tell you.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.  You can pick which is which.  Ok?  Here goes. 
To start, it was a 3 day weekend for me, but I had some work to get out early Friday morning from home.  Spent about 1/2 an hour getting a mouse and keyboard to work since I couldn't find any AA batteries anywhere in my house.  Sent that in and ran down the driveway to get the recycle bin that I'd left there for a couple of days due to rain, rain, and rain.  Dumped out about 6" of water out of and hauled it up the driveway.  When I turned the corner into the garage I bumped the door-opener eye and it popped off the frame.  Spent the next 1/2 hour or so getting it lined back up so the opener would work.  In a really good mood by now, as you can imagine.  Loaded my son up in the car and we were off to eye doctor - pretty uneventful, even found the place first try.  My son needed a Maryland ID card so he can sign up for school for Winter.  Well, the MVA in Maryland is legendary.  Pack a lunch and take every piece of ID can you conjure up.  Last time DH and DS tried this they failed.  But do it we must.  Went in and noticed empty chairs!  Took our number and before I could settle my behind into a chair they called him.  SUCCESS!  In about 15 minutes we were out the door and on our way to the Social Security office to replace his lost card (see above, failed MVA attempt with DH - see my eyes roll?).  Prepared to spend the rest of the afternoon there.  It was less than 2 minutes from the MVA office and we were out of there in about 15 minutes.  WOAH, what the heck was going on here?  Really?!?  Last stop was a contractor's office for a potential kitchen remodel.  We left with samples.
Saturday I decided to spend my Living Social coupons at G Street to combine with their sale.  I did quite well, they'd just restocked THE WALL.  Of course I attempted a new route to GStreet and got lost and took about 45 minutes longer to get there.  Erggg.  And then the grocery store - snore.  Got home and even cut a skirt out of one the fabrics.
This morning I headed upstairs to finish the skirt.  It was going quite nicely, a pattern I've used before and I was off.  Even re-threaded my serger on the first shot.  Most of the skirt was done, zipper in, and ready to serge the seams to finish them.  About 1/2 way down the first seam I realized I'd serged right into one of the panels.  SOB!  No fabric left to recut.  And I decided against the patch my son suggested.  Was quite looking forward to a navy pencil skirt.  Still fuming over this.  Left the sewing room in a mess.
So now I have potatoes in the oven and the grill warming up for steaks.  Really?  Three days over already?  But all my purchased gifts are wrapped.  Need to mail out this week to the away family.  I'll feel better once that part's done. 
How're your holiday plans coming?
