...Finally finished writing and addressing all of our wedding gift thank you notes! Today I have to go buy stamps, but by tomorrow, those suckers will be in the mail and winging their way to our patient and generous friends and family!
... Had a fun filled movie night courtesy of On Demand and my evil DVR. At least it managed to record all of Pride & Prejudice without chopping off the last half. And is it just me, or would it have been all that difficult to find a somewhat more smoldering Mr. Darcy? I know Colin Firth really made the role his own, but Matthew Macfayden's portrayal really is just a pale imitation.
... Managed to beat Colby at Scrabulous even while thousands of miles apart. I will have the grace to admit that it was indeed a very close game. He's a worthy opponent, although I still reign as the undefeated champion in our household.
... Broke in our lovely new elliptical machine with two 30 minute workouts that left me sweaty, breathless, and with the realization of how horrifically out of shape I've gotten in the past few months. I've got a long way to go if I want to be a svelte, elegant American in Italy in just a few more weeks!
... Watched six episodes of that classic 90's television series, Party of Five, again, courtesy of On Demand. I spent most of the nineties watching Nick at Nite, ABC's TGIF lineup, and The X-Files, so all of those favorites of my peers such as Party of Five, Beverly Hills 90210, and My So Called Life are a whole new world to me now. I really had no idea that Matthew Fox existed before Lost, and I'm loving him with his long flowing locks. And this was probably giggled about 15 years ago, but does anyone else find it amusing that the surnames of two of the leading actors are "Fox" and "Wolf"?
... Made two decisions regarding The Great Shoe Quest! The results really will be coming this week, I promise! I know I said the same thing last week, unfortunately, Zappos' new shipping policy has made reorders a bit difficult, and apparently Privo shoes have a HUGE disparity in size compared to the rest of the shoes in my closet. Watch this space--results coming SOON!!
I've reached the conclusion that it's a really good thing I married Colby, so that I'm forced out of the house from time to time. If I had my way, I'd never change out of my pajamas and cross the threshold unless we were running low on dog food. How was your weekend? I hope you managed to leave the house at least once!
we were snowed in this weekend so i definitely didn't make it out of the house! well, except to go back home and then managed to get stuck in the parking lot!

Beverly Hills 90210 is my shit. I could watch all 10 seasons and nothing else for the rest of my life and never be bored.

Totally the Scrabble champion in this household too! Not undefeated though. He has his moments. Haha.

I swear to goodness, Scrabulous is the most addicting game EVER!
Posted by: Deutlich | March 10, 2008 at 07:13 PM
I left the house exactly once, and that was to procure snacks.

Ahhh yes Matthew Fox before Lost was a hottie too. Thanks for the reminder. ;-)
And I am so jealous over your new eliptical machine, it's just not fair hehe. It must have cost you an arm and a leg? Ha and then how would you do eliptical? (yes I'm goofy)
Congrats on the Scrabble win!

Oh and if it wasn't for Rob, I would be home in my pj's as well. We went out to the mall, run some errands, and came home to no power in our neighborhood, due to the high winds. Luckily it came back a few hours later.
Ohhh and we were invited to our first Hockey game ever. It was better than I expected! :-)

I had a Sex And The City marathon on Friday night and sadly didn't leave the house...however now that you've mentioned Beverly Hills 90210, I feel one of those marathons coming on as well... ;)

Yeah sometimes I'd rather just lounge around the house as well and catch up on old tv, mmmmm. Lovely.

I am so addicted to Scrabulous it is not even funny! Great way to sharpen the brain and waste tons of time.

SO jealous of the elliptical. How is the quality of the machine? I would hope for that kind of dough, pretty good? I so want one.

I lerved me some Matt Fox when he was Charlie on Party of Five! Most of my friends were raving about Scott Wolf's dimples, but I was all about the big brother on that show! (Yep, I've always thought the wolf/fox thing was crazy too.)

I left the house at 1.30am on Sunday and came home at 7am. But I was working, that doesn't really count, does it?
Posted by: Caro | March 11, 2008 at 10:02 AM
If it weren't for my hubby I would never leave the house either! I love a day when I don't get out of my pajamas!
Sounds heavenly!

I wanted to love that Mr. Darcy too, but I just couldn't! He just fell a little flat for me. I blamed it on the fact that he was too young at first. It will always be Colin for me. :)
Anxiously awaiting the shoe 411.

Gosh, I used to be obsessed with Party of Five.
