Brett and I got a lot done this weekend (I apologize in advance for typos, I'm enjoying our special wine from our trip to Texas!). Here, the ABC's of our weekend:
A= Anticipation. We logged on to Skype multiple times trying to get in touch with Brett's Mom, to no success. But, perhaps things always work out the way they are supposed to, because it wasn't until after all those attempts that Brett and I had a good long talk and realized that the dates of the trip home he was trying to confirm might not be the best anyway (at least not if he wants a cute Texan to accompany him).
A=Academics. We got a lot, well maybe not A LOT, but definitely enough, work done this weekend. Brett was a great help in trying to get me back on track and getting a few of my major projects done.
B=Bilbies. I learned the difference between a bunny and a bilby. Apparently in Australia, the Easter Bilby visits all the children instead of the Easter Bunny (they must be very distant cousins). So, Brett looked up this native Australian on Wikipedia and showed me a picture and put up with all my silly questions about bilbies. Brett and I have decided we want to dye Easter eggs this year. Wonder who will deliver them...will it be the Easter Bunny (since we're int he U.S.) or the Easter Bilby (who looks after all the Displaced Australians, big and small...)
C=Chores. I washed all of Brett's dishes today. And did his laundry. It was part of a deal where he edited some of my writing and I did his household work. But it still made me feel very domestic. :-)
D=Dexter. I introduced Brett to the TV show Dexter this weekend. Yes, it's about a serial killer who murders other serial killers while holding down a day job as a blood splatter analysis for the police department (it's sorta a cult classic among the CLJ department). Brett seems to like it. I'm glad that he is able to see that there is a big difference between his brand of social-awkwardness and the "I kill people for fun" variety. Of course, we started with Season 1 and they are about to start Season 7 in the fall, so we have a lot of catch-up to do.
