Weekend Recap

Our weekend was nice - we were able to spend some time with my family, and get some stuff done around the house, which is always nice. Friday evening we met my family in Waller and ate Mexican food before D left for work. It was nice getting to visit with everyone and the food was good, so it was a nice evening. Saturday, I slept in. D was already home when I woke up but he said "if you were still asleep, I figured you were tired and didn't want to wake you". We piddled around the house some and I went and made a bow:

I was pleased with how it turned out. I just wish I would have had the "bow bug" and had it made before the rodeo was over!

We both got ready and he headed off to a photography class that he signed up for and I headed off to the ball park for my nephew, Matthew's first t-ball game. It was fun and those little ones are so cute to watch! They kept score for part of the game but I then quit about halfway through. I'm not sure what that was all about, but Matt's team won. Not that it's a big deal when you're 5 - I don't think any of them paid much attention to that anyway.

I left there to run errands - and realized how hot its getting already! Oh Lord, I am in for something else when I'm 8 months pregnant in August! I'm going to be miserable! I had to go get some make-up and perfume and oh how I hate going to the mall these days. I quickly ran in and out and was on my way in less than half an hour. I made it to the pet store to get dog food and a new toy for Coco (pictures to come soon) and head home and back into the a/c as quickly as I could.

I sat down to chill out and started to doze off and just then - D called to tell me he was on his way home. The man has killer timing! I got up and cooked a big/southern meal for my man. I made grilled pork chops, buttered potatoes, okra & tomatoes and cornbread. He was a happy camper when he walked in the door! We enjoyed a nice, quiet evening together and then Sunday - it was time for chores. We caught up on our Netflix, then worked on laundry, picking up the kitchen and putting dishes away, mowing and weed eating, sweeping the porch, etc.

All in all, it was a nice, productive weekend. How was yours?

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday folks! It’s a dreary, gloomy day here in Southeast Texas. It’s been windy and raining all day and from what the weather man says, should be this way most of the week. Everyone’s moods seem to be mimicking the weather and all I want to do is take a nap! I hope that my energy level increases sometime soon or this is going to be a really unproductive week. I don’t have any pictures to update with. I finally unearthed my camera but apparently didn’t pack batteries in the same box and I can’t find any in the whole darn house and I forget to buy them every time I go to the store which has been exactly zero times since we moved into the new house. Except for that trip I made to CVS last week to pick up a lint roller and that totally doesn’t count as a shopping trip as I spent most of my time in the store, reading how Jake new Vienna was “the one” and other pertinent news stories. I was productive enough this weekend to run errands on Saturday with Darren which included various trips to hardware/home improvement stores while we tried to make a decision about what type of fence to put up for Coco. I don’t feel comfortable putting up one of those electrical doggie fences because she is so small and because that keeps her in but doesn’t keep other animals out and because shocking her every time she tries to “explore” seems really wrong to me. We are looking at wooden fences and metal “fabric” fences and all kinds of nonsense that I really don’t know anything about. I just want a little fence put up so that when she wants to lay out in the sun, I don’t have to stand out there and watch her laying in the grass. I want her to have some sense of freedom, but you know – in a caged in way, where she can’t go anywhere that hasn’t already been deemed appropriate by me – kind of like an outdoor prison. That sounds just lovely, doesn’t it? On a completely different note – we stopped by Sonic to get a drink on the way home from Lowe’s, because what is a trip into “town” without a Sonic drink? And you have to answer me this…why is it that I can never, ever even get close to finishing a Route 44 drink but I can finish a large without a problem? I mean, it’s getting to the point where it’s almost a challenge. I don’t want to go to bed until I finish it, which never happens but it’s not because I haven’t tried! As you can tell, we had a very exciting weekend! It’s not every day you get to write a post about electrocuting your dog and Sonic drinks! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
