Living for the Weekend.

This was my first weekend in a long time where I had time to have a lie in.  Lie-ins are the future.  We used to call them "Templeton Days" growing up.  After the rat from Charlotte's Web.  We were allowed something like one per summer, maybe more often than that, I can't remember that much, where we were allowed to stay in bed all day in our pajamas and watch movies and just be lazy in general.  Now that I'm an adult, I can have TWO Templeton Days a week if I want to (because I am considered an adult), only to call them lie-ins is more adult like.  So today I had a lie-in.  I slept til 1030, which for me is SUPER late, and then decided I didn't even want to go to the pool to enjoy the sunshine.  I stayed in my airconditioned bedroom in my super comfy bed and watched Gone With the Wind.  I am ashamed that as a Southern girl it has taken me this long to watch said movie, but it has.  I am pleased to say it was well-worth the wait, although it didn't have today's typical Hollywood ending, which I appreciated.  Interesting, isn't it, how as society has become more and more "politically correct" and "socially concious" our movies stopped having real life endings and began having unrealistic lofty endings.  Oh this world.

I did interrupt my Templeton Day to pay our electric bill, even though it's not due till next week!, and go grocery shopping, because I do have to eat lunch tomorrow.

Yesterday in Hong Kong, I was productive enough for two days I think.  I had new pages put in my passport at the US Consulate, which was uber productive as I was almost out of pages and now I have two new sets, at least!  Yippee!  Then I sat in the Hong Kong Botannical Gardens with Erin for three hours waiting for my pages to be ready.  Following that was our eye appointment, where not only did I have a thorough eye examination, I got some new glasses that I am super excited to wear.  They are super bright and though not hot pink, still colorful.  I lurve them.

I also bought two new books to read with my new glasses.  Such a productive day it makes me tired just thinking about it.  And now, I should retire because tomorrow starts a new week.  Already looking forward to spending next weekend by the pool, because it is time for Erin and I to begin our Hard Rock season!
