Sort of Productive Weekend/Mini Nervous Breakdowns

I'm trying to finish things before the big Survivor finale tonight! Altho, we have decided to tape it so we can use the fast forward to watch it. Will definitely zip through the commercials, and I can never stand the part where they make the last two paint themselves with war paint and reflect on "those who have gone before them". Gag. Gag. Will make do with Desparate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy until 10pm.

I sort of got a lot done this weekend. I got more stuff cleaned out of the baby's room. I took two huge bags of clothes & crap to Goodwill and got all our quilts that Sandy and my grandma have made packed into the trunk H got us for our wedding. Todd moved the giant plant to the patio, and the closet is almost totally empty except for some of my hanging clothes. Everything that I decided to keep has been moved upstairs, which means when I start cleaning upstairs, it is going to take twice as long. We also got the wallpaper border and baseboards put up in the basement. The baseboards involved lots of cussing, yelling, and about 100 trips out side to use the saw. fun.

Last night we went and got groceries at Fareway, which was depressing because I can't eat anything good anymore (you're welcome, Baby Stein), but first I robo-cleaned the fridge. I pitched a ton of condiments and skanky beers, then took out all the shelves and drawers and scrubbed them. Todd said he had forgotten that you are supposed to be able to see through the glass shelves! It looks like a new fridge. We also ate at El Rodeo (had a coupon) and tried to purchase baby items, but we both had mini nervous breakdowns in the baby aisle.

My mini breakdown was caused by the price of items, and I totally freaked out at the swings. I couldn't believe that not only do you need a swing, but you need a travel swing! Of course there are the plain swings and then the swings that swing front-to-back and side-to-side, light up, play music, etc. I was overwhelmed, so we decided Todd could pick out one $10 item to buy and then we would leave. So then Todd had a mini breakdown. He was freaked out by the packages of onsies. He kept wondering why everyone says you need onesies if they don't keep the baby's arms and legs warm? The child will freeze! The sleepers they had were a hideous green, so we ended up with a 3 pack of infant gowns and a rattle. Then we got the hell out of there.
