This weekend seemed to fly by without getting much done that I had planned. I had planned to do some serious organizing & cleaning in the house, plus some scrapbooking. Instead… Friday night I went to my mom’s for dinner and a movie with the family.
Saturday morning I put a roast in the crockpot for dinner and went to the salon to get my hair done. Then my sister, Sara, met me to go see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. My 2nd time, her first. It was just as good the 2nd time around. We stopped in to Target afterward for some nail polish and ended up spending way too much time oohing and ahhing over the new Halloween stuff. So cute! This year’s line is a little kooky in it’s style, sort of like The Nightmare Before Christmas. I could have spent a ton of money, well, if I had a ton of money. I restrained myself though and only bought 1 little $5 item. We also stopped by World Market. I picked up a glass oil cruet to store my dish washing soap in. A tip I read in Real Simple . It looks so much nicer than the big, clunky plastic bottle. That night after dinner husband and I watched Trading Spaces. I’m not sure how I feel about the new designer. His hair is just wrong for one thing. But I didn’t think the room he did looked as polished as the other designers’ rooms. It just didn’t look like a professional designer did it. It kind of looked like a hotel room.
Sunday we got up early to go have pancakes. Then we stopped by Sam‘s. In the afternoon we met up with Sara & Marc and two other couples to watch the Bills-Vikings game. That lasted until 8:30 or so. Us girls snuck out to Dairy Queen at half time to get a break from the sports bar’s smokey atmosphere. Which is not a good place for my pregnant sister if you ask me. I said something to her about it and she said she was fine because the smokers were at the other end of the table. Whatever, I didn’t force the issue, but if I were pregnant you wouldn’t find me around that much smoke. Smoking in general is a pet peeve of mine, but especially around children, whether born or not. Husband and I were fuming about it on the way home. Other people had a couple of toddlers in there. One couple had a 2 year old in their booth and they were smoking. It just kills me because it’s not a secret– secondhand smoke will kill you! Hello! Ok, I’m getting off my soapbox now.
Today I’m starting a new schedule at work. It’s a compressed schedule where I’m only working 4 days a week. The days are just longer. For instance, today I’m working 8-7. But I’ll be off Friday- Sunday. And next week I’ll be off Wednesday & Thursday. So I won’t have to take vacation time to go to the dentist anymore. So that’s good. Now, if I can just get caffeine pumped through an IV drip then I’ll be able to make it through this long day!
