Extened weekend

Why is that having a 3 and a half day weekend off from work with nothing to do so excellent?! My weekend was quite fabulous! I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. There was no time limit on anything and nothing planned. That doesn’t happen very often, especially in the summer and especially when I have a long weekend off from work. I now get off work at 12:00 on Fridays for the rest of the summer! After work on Friday I went home, did a little homework, did a little cleaning, took a nap and then headed back to Hudson to get Phil. Then I treated him to some Olive Garden. I love Olive Garden but damn it is getting more and more expensive! But I guess it is worth it every so often.

Saturday I slept in as late as I possibly could and I did some more homework, then did some more cleaning then spent the rest of the day with my friend Jewells. We went rollerblading on Saturday and Sunday. It was a good time, I love rollerblading. We sure put on some miles! My legs hate me but they will forgive me when they look more toned. I’m hoping to keep this up and go a couple times a week. It is good exercise!

Sunday I cut Phil’s hair and then cut the dogs hair. Phil was first and that didn’t take long. We decided to buzz it all down. I think he looks like a military man now. :) (Although he hates it when I say that) Then we did Precious and she is easy as pie. We waited to do Vader last…. probably not a good idea. I was already getting tired of cutting hair and he is the most difficult dog in the frickin’ world to cut! After much time and a few meltdowns we finally got him looking decent. He still needs more hair cut but he won’t allow that. So it is good enough for me.

Jewells and I also spent our weekend catching up on our TV shows. We had 12 shows in all to catch up on! 12 shows! That is like 10 hours of TV! We got it down to 2 shows…. the Lost 2 hour finale is the only one left. I was quite disappointed with the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. I won’t talk about it in case some of you haven’t watched it yet but it was good/frustrating/sad and all of the above. I guess only the good finales will leave you feeling frustrated and mad.

Monday Jewells and I went and did a little shopping and I bought 3 dresses, two shirts and a jacket. I basically doubled the amount of dresses I own. Yay for me! I am excited to wear them to work but it is too cold out today. Maybe later in the week. They keep it so damn cold in this joint!!! It only gets warm in here when it is 80+ degrees outside.

Anyways… I missed the rest of my friends this Monday and I hope to see them all this weekend! It is Good Neighbor Days in Roberts. Should be a good time!

Stranded

So my lunch hour was fun today… I was out on the bluff in Hudson at the park reading my book and minding my own business like I normally do. I usually listen to the radio with the car off while I am eating lunch and then I turn my radio off after I’m done eating and then read my book. Today was just another ordinary day like always except when I went to start my car to head back to work. All I got was click, click, click, click… COOL! I was stranded up on the bluff with a dead battery. I could have knocked on a stranger’s car door and asked for help but I was too scared. So I called work and Joel came to my rescue and jumped my car. :) Thank god it started again!! So after work I have to bring my battery in to Wally World to get it checked and most likely get a new one.

...It's been a while

I had a lovely weekend! Phil and I went on our date Friday night. We decided to go to the Hammond Hotel again since that has now become Phil’s favorite restaurant. We have been there a good number of times and have always loved it but this time it was pretty bad. Haha We got stuck with a really stupid waitress. She was so stupid that it was funny. Phil and I are still laughing about it. She was like the stupid blonde in the movies who you think, nobody can be that stupid in real life, and she was!!! Then we just went home and popped in a good movie and relaxed.

Saturday I went to look at 3 houses. We were supposed to look at 4 but one had an accepted offer of course. The first house we looked at was just outside of Hammond. I would have to say that was my favorite out of the 3, however, it was still a no. The next house was in Eau Galle and I loved, loved, loved the area and it had plenty of acres to go with the house. The house however, too small. :( So we were off to the 3rd house which was in Spring Valley. Let’s just say it was an old farm house that nobody has updated… ever. That was also a negative. So, I have now looked at 4 houses total and all of them were a big fat NO. We still have plenty more time though! I am already stressing out over this house deal. I am afraid we might find a house too soon and we can’t put an offer in quite yet. But I am also afraid that we won’t find one before December 1st. If we don’t find one before December 1st we will have to sign a new lease on our duplex and we will also loose out on the free $8,000 the government wants to give us! Now that is something to stress about!

Sunday Phil and I did some heavy duty cleaning. We cleaned the whole house, mopped the floors and even steam cleaned the couches and the carpet. Now our house doesn’t smell like dogs anymore!!! Yay! After we got the house cleaned we headed over to his mom’s house for Mother’s Day and it was also her birthday. There were about 20 people from his mom’s side of the family there and we grilled out and ate good food. :) We were supposed to go see Wolverine but we didn’t leave his mom’s house in time. Hopefully next weekend we will go see it!

Phil just texted me something as I was writing this blog that just made my day!!! He sent me a picture of the coffee can we have at home and said this is why I’m so tired, read the top of the can. Haha it is decaf!!!!!! Now if you know Phil like I do you would think that is hilarious!!!!!!!! I started laughing out loud here at work!! He was wondering why he has been so tired lately. He drinks a lot of coffee in the morning and sometimes when he gets home from work. On days when he doesn’t go to work he pretty much drinks the whole pot. And for the last few weeks he has been drinking decaf!!! Oh my god, that’s hilarious!

p.s. Sorry it has been so long since I last blogged! I'll try to be more on top of things!
