Monday Funday Randoms

Monday funday! Not :)

At least I have Tues and Weds off! Looking forward to that.

How was everyone's weekend?

Re: Monday Funday Randoms

  • great! Had fun at the Creswick brat cookout on Saturday. Yesterday we went out for lunch with my MIL, SIL, and grandpa IL for MIL's birthday. We rode our motorcycles to her house and ended up getting caught in the downpour so I rode for the first time in the rain. Wasn't too bad  but it's weird not having windshield wipers on the helmet :-)

    I'm going to be doing a lot of cleaning this week as my mom is coming over on Saturday to do some canning.

    What are you canning this year? I'm actually doing dilly beans tonight!
  • I haven't decided yet - I need to sit down with my canning books. I know I want to do spaghetti sauce but not sure what else.
  • mmmm, homemade spaghetti sauce is one of the best things ever!

    Our weekend was pretty good. Yesterday we headed out to Luton Park in Rockford for the boys to bike and I hiked a bit. Didn't get very far before the rain started but it was enough to count as exercise. Saturday was a party in Hastings for a friend and it went really well. So happy that she is cancer free now.

    Today I'm heading out to Ada to see how a friends renovation is going and to help out with some ideas out there. This friend is going to be moving back in with her parents to help care for them. Her mom has Alzheimer's and her Dad needs some help with taking care of her. She is the also the one kid of 6 that will take the property over when they both pass on. So this past spring/summer she has been doing some working converting a garage into a studio apartment. This is also my BFF's family.   

  • Aaaaaand, I haven't done anything since I got back from lunch.  I only have an hour to go before I leave for the day.  Bored.

  • Hey there.

    Today is our anniversary. So we are trying to think of someplace to go tonight. Nothing is sounding good and we've gone out a lot lately. Oh well. I guess we'l decide once he gets home.

    We didn't exchange gifts b/c of the work situation. But I did buy us a groupon for massages.

    Bryan gets to go to the Linkin Park concert tomorrow and he got selected to meet the band! So yay him.

    Yes we have. We can't settle on a place. We will lock it down later.

  • Been busy today at work. I am taking a breather right now. Sometimes Mondays are so slow and sometimes they are really really busy. You never know with insurance.
