1/16/17 What To Do After The Holidays?

    We are a couple weeks into the new year and things have settled down from the holidays.  The weather has been like it should be, more or less, on the weekends, anyway.  During the week we have been seeing 80 degree weather which is normal for Texas, but sucks for moral.  Almost on purpose though, the weekends have been chilly and wet.
    This past weekend was disrupted by very little.  I worked half a night of OT Friday, came home to hot dogs, then we stayed up awhile watching our TV shows.  Saturday was a lazy day in which we didn't get up until about 1:00pm.  I drank coffee and looked over our bills, while Wife showered and came down to make breakfast.  We ended up having some awesome egg and mini Winnie tacos, then with nothing better to do, slept the afternoon away until roughly 7:00pm.  At this point, I finally got up and Wife introduced me to a show about teachers on the cable box list of saved shows.  The show is called Teachers and follows a small group of female teachers and their silly shenanigans.  It is pretty over the top, but I like this brand of humor.  We then got ready to go, we had tickets for the 9:30pm showing of Star Wars: Rogue One.  The movie was solid, if lacking in jedi powers.  We were back home and staying up late watching more recorded shows until about 4:00am.
    Sunday was a lazy day.  We got up around 2:00pm, showered and headed to one of our favorite places to eat, Zaxby's.  We usually eat here Sunday afternoons when Wife is headed back down to Crystal City.  With the weather crappy as it was, we headed back home and before I knew it, I was back in bed, napping the afternoon away.  I napped until about 7:30pm, then woke in time to suggest pizza for dinner.
    Here we are, not accomplishing much, but enjoying another quiet Sunday evening.  Even though it is not very cold, it is raining off and on again.  We have been in a Tornado warning most of the afternoon.  I guess this is as much as can be expected, considering how shitty the weather has been. 
    With the holidays just passing and all the credit cards still smoking from being used, it is hard to excuse a trip to the mall, to buy shit we don't need.  At least for now, we will then avoid the mall and all its trappings.  I am sure in a few weeks, the boys will need more clothes, Wife will need something for work, maybe I will decide not to be dressed like an idiot all the time and decide I need some new shoes.  I do hate all this being lazy, but I also don't know what to do about it.  Sometimes, it is easier, on an effort to not spend money, to just be cheap and also not shower and leave the house. 
    Hopefully, by the time the weather starts warming up, we will be caught up with all our Christmas purchases and then we will be back to normal.
