Weekend activities, in list format

Things I did this weekend:

• Slept 12 hours on Friday night.
• Cleaned up dog poop in the sun room because she didn’t get to go out for 12 hours and can’t hold it that long.
• Spent 2 1/2 hours in Joann shopping for apron fabric and material for my friend’s baby quilt.  Everything was on sale which saved us a lot of money, but we also had to wait an extra hour for fabric cutting and at the register because there were so many people there.
• Bought a flirty dress at Goodwill for this coming Saturday’s Zombie Prom.  The theme of the party: zombies who are attending prom.  The dress is knee-length, purple with a black tulle overlay, and has a couple inches of netting peeking out the bottom.  I’m going for a recent cadaver look, with blue lips and nails, pale pale skin (done!), and a hospital morgue wristband & toe tag.
• Bought a pair of jeans at Goodwill.
• Found a pair of jeans in my dining room: size 0 American Eagle.  That is not my size, unless a whole lot of muffin top is a desired look, in which case they fit perfectly.  I don’t know where they came from.
• Waited in the Goodwill parking lot in the dark with my friend for her AAA to come jump my car, when a regular car jump attempt didn’t work.  Their cables have higher amps and a stronger assistant battery.  Note: I also need to get jumper cables of my own, and an emergency car kit in general with a blanket, flares, flashlight, whatever else is supposed to go in those.
• Signed up for AAA of my own this afternoon.  Called AAA a few minutes later to come do a battery replacement for me because the car wouldn’t start again today.  Paid them $150 for battery & labor, which was totally worth it for the at-home service.
• Cut out the pieces for my Hot Drinks for Hot Mamas apron swap.
