We had a nice weekend at the Nation household. Saturday morning was spent lazily catching up on my DVR'd episodes of Baby Daddy. I can't help but watch this show even though it is SUPER cheesy - I just love Melissa Peterman, aka Bonnie Wheeler, aka Barbara Jean. And if you've never seen Baby Daddy or Reba, then you have no idea who or what I'm talking about and I'm sorry I just totally confused you.
Anywho, after our lazy morning, Chris, Amelia, and I headed to Cafe Classico for lunch. It was pretty packed with people, but there was one particular fellow diner that really caught Amelia's attention. She saw a little 2 or 3 month old baby sitting a few tables away, and she was OBSESSED. She was smiling and waving and pointing and trying so hard to convey to me that she wanted to go over and see the baby. It was so cute, and honestly took me by surprise! I don't know if she thought the baby was real or a baby doll that she needed to play with, but I was very happy to see her so interested in socializing. My fears of sheltering her into an unsociable hermit are now slightly relieved!
After lunch, Chris wanted to test drive my car and tinker with all the new gizmos and gadgets like the navigation and voice-activated phone calls, so we took a cruise around Louisville with no real agenda. All we really managed to accomplish was making a pit stop at Southeast Christian Church to take care of a 'Code Brown' situation that had arisen... nothing spoils a fun afternoon joy ride like a stinky diaper!
Saturday night I picked us up some Outback curbside because it is our new jam. Chris is truly on an Outback salad and bread kick - like he could eat it every day of the week. Which works for me b/c do you know how much a salad and bread costs? Like $3. Thank you, Outback!
On Sunday I was so impressed with Amelia for sleeping until 8:40 AM! Holy Cow! (Fast forward to 2 hours later when I realized that my phone had sprung forward and it was really only 7:40...)
Since I had watched all of my DVR'd shows, I needed something new to watch during coffee / playtime (of course only after a little Elmo and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). I have heard people talk about the FX show The People VS OJ Simpson, so I thought I would give it a try.
I found myself completely enthralled - this is definitely my new show. It has so many interesting people in it - John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr, ROSS - I mean David Schwimmer, Selma Blair, Nathan Lane, Connie Britton (who I almost didn't recognize!)...and the list goes on and on.
The whole OJ debacle happened when I was in 5th grade. So even though I definitely remember it happening, the details are vague. The only really vivid memory I have of the entire trial is that our school actually had the TV on in the cafeteria when the verdict was read, and I remember everyone erupting with both cheers and boo's when he was declared not guilty. My fifth grade self knew that what had just happened was significant, considering our teachers were letting us watch it during school, but I honestly had no idea why.
Now that I am watching this show and learning the details of what was actually happening, I am blown away by what took place. It's fascinating! I highly recommend catching up on the shows if you can - they are on Hulu I think, but I found them on my cable's On Demand options.
In other news, yesterday was my favorite sister's birthday! We are coming down this upcoming weekend to celebrate with her and I can't wait. Happy birthday, sis! Love you!
And though there is no real story attached to this picture, I just wanted to post it because she is one cute little stinker.
Happy Monday. May the springing forward be ever in your favor.
