No housework today

My boss and I were just having a discussion today about how crappy Tuesdays are. I mean, there's really no point in a Tuesday. And nothing good ever happens. And to prove my point, this is the view from my driver's side window on the way home from work today, stuck in traffic on the 630/30 loop. Thanks a lot, Tuesday.

Today is National No Housework Day. And to celebrate, I didn't do any housework. Okay, so I bathed Tillie and cleaned the master bath but I had to -- if my bathroom isn't clean, I feel disgusting. So really, I don't count any of that.

We have discovered recently that Oreo Cakesters are our frenemies. My metabolism wishes they had never been invented.

Andrew has tomorrow night off. Yay!

Active and Alert is so not Monday's thing.

I am so proud of how tall our herbs have grown. Cilantro seems to be an overachiever though.

Also, today we found out what the reprocusions are of feeding Tillie Alpo. Not smart.

Andrew put in his 3 week notice @ Chilis. I know he is excited about getting to focus all of his attention and efforts on one thing and I am excited about getting to spend more time with him. This should prove to be a good thing for both of us.

Anyone watch the Hills last night? OMG. Spencer is such a jerk. I hate Speidi.

And finally, I am obsessed with this website right now. The photos are incredible.

A day of rest

Much like the rest of the weekend, today was a good day to sit at home and do nothing. So that's what we did.

I went with my parents' to check out some new tents in preparation for our May camping trip. And we had some lunch. Then later, I came over to do laundry and hunted around my their house for some of my old stuff. Andrew joined us for grilled hamburgers and we have a huge container of baked beans sitting in our fridge now. I promise I have never seen so many beans in all my life.

Also, we inherited a new microwave today. It is most decidely better than our old one. So, I am very pleased with it.

It is getting super cold tonight. What the heck is up with the weather?! I'm glad the plants out back haven't started coming up yet or they might freeze (I'm such a nerd).

Who wants to go back to work tomorrow? Not me.

a saturday of nothings.

Andrew spent the day working (just like every weekend of my life) so I spent the day getting better acquainted with our new laptop. And sitting here at the dining room table, this is the view I had every time I looked down. This little face was there (and still is at this very moment) just waiting for me to do something fun or drop something that she could gobble up. She's been very patiently waiting for me to play with her.

I also went with my mom to get some groceries. It's nice to have food in the house again.

I am in a cleaning mood. I started earlier this afternoon but I think I'll finish up now. I always get in the mood to clean late at night.

And I finally got to talk to Krit and catch up, so that was nice.

Rim, I love you.

I got to Skype with Lauren tonight and it was most definitely the highlight of my day. It was so good to catch up with you, Rim. We should make this a weekly ritual.

Went to Williams-Sonoma today and tried the most amazing paninis ever. Then proceeded to purchase a $14 jar of green olive spread and came home and made our own. And they were fabulous, of course.

Rainy Day

It rained all day today and it was raining in my soul as well. But then the rain stopped and the most incredible rainbow appeared. Even sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot, it made me stop and take notice of it. Mom always told me that rainbows were a reminder of the promise from God to never flood the world again. Maybe that promise applies to my heart as well.

April Fools!

Spent the evening uploading Sims onto the laptop -- there's a lot. K & L, aren't you proud?

I didn't really pull any April Fools jokes this year. Not that I object on moral grounds, I just couldn't really think of anything particularly good.

Oh and we finally got the internet working today so I am officially posting for the first time for the new computer -- rejoice!
