Manic Monday
YOU GUYS.
Help a sista out. So far today I have googled everything from how to keep fire ant sout of your garden to how to cut a mango. I'm bored!
Weekend was nice. Friday H was off from work that night so we watched some episodes of our current show on Netflix: "Borgia" It's really good!
Saturday I had big plans of doing some house stuff but the worst cramps ever kept me balled up on the couch in the fetal position til about 2pm. The kiddo and I went to home depot and bought some stuff to attack the overgrown gardens in the backyard and I filled up the pool for him.
Sunday we went down to a Mexican farmers market and you would not believe how amazing it was For only $30 american cash dolla dolla bills, we got: a box of mangoes, 2 pineapples, 2 bags of carrots, 6 bunches of cilantro, 10apples, 2 pounds of homegrown tomatoes, 2 pounds of cherry tomotoes, 2 pounds of tomatillos, a bunch of bananas, 3 peaches and 4 avocados. I shudder to think what it would have cost at Whole Paycheck.
Then we went to central market to get meat and a few other things and came home. I declared official war on the fire ants and the weeds. H made the most amazing scallops for dinner and we watched more Borgia after the kiddo went to sleep. It was the frist weekend without and obligations and the first that actually felt like a "real" weekend.
How was yours?
Re: Manic Monday
That sounds like a lovely weekend (aside from the cramps).
My parents came to town (they live about 4 hours away) and we painted our basement and cleaned the shiit out of our house. The realtor will be taking pics on Wednesday -- very exciting! Sunday, after more cleaning and fixing, we went to see "World War Z" and I loved it. Not as much as I loved the book, but still. Brad Pitt's hair in that movie is sporting my favorite Brad Pitt hairdo, so that's good.
Tonight I've got to figure out how to change a bulb in recessed lighting. Super duper exciting.
I keep trying to update my sig with a weight loss ticker but it won't work. I weighed in at WW on Sunday and I am down 16 lbs since mid-March!
I've been upset all day. We moved down here so I could finally get a teaching job and after about 7 months unemployed H got a job he likes in his field. Yesterday a job opening pops up for back up north and it's a job I've been dying to open up since I was in college. It's at my old HS and I've called it my 'dream job' to people because if I got it, I would stay there for 30 years and be happy.
Well we just moved 1200 miles and both found decent jobs here. I brought it up to H but he's not moving. I got upset but obviously I understand his thinking that we are doing well here and he doesn't want to risk not finding a job again. Now I'm just really angry that I've been applying to this school for 3 years in hopes that the band job would open up, and NOW it does when I can't have it
Omg Quirky that sux!
I worked all weekend and it went well. Got home at decent hours and things went pretty smoothly. Went to the movies with DH and dropped off stuff at Goodwill. Nothing horribly exciting.
