Busy, busy, busy . . .Break!

This month has been surreal.

Last week was a happy/messy week. I tell everyone my mood was Happy with a chance of impending doom. But my happiness outweighed the doom most of the time.

The best was Jeff getting a day job: last week was his first week on the day shift, it was amazing! We got to hang around the house and do nothing in particular but we were together! I actually remember some of the things he told me! Yay!

Friday I went with a friend to a garden show. The UNL spring event preview dinner the night before. It was really nice and the food was fantastic. I managed to curtail my spending this year to under $30. not bad for someone who tore up their entire garden huh?

Saturday was Jeff's birthday, and I feel bad because last year we had a big shindig for the big 30. But this year I didn't even get around to telling him happy b-day until 11 am. oops.
Jeff shared his birthday with our good friend Scott who turned 30 this year so it was a great big ol party for him. He shaved his hair into a mohawk for the occasion, but was going to cut it really short the next day to get rid of it. It was pretty cool!

Sunday Jeff's parents were there and gave us a big b-day gifts and I got a salt cellar. Umm . . . I already had one you say? Well oops again, I forgot to send my b-day list to the inlaws so they went off of my x-mas list. But it is a lidded glass dish that is the exact height of q-tips and its pretty too! Tada! I haven't had a q-tip holder in my upper bathroom since I broke the last pretty purple one.

Then come this week. I'm trying not to get to nuts before Wednesday, but I'm so excited to go see Stacey! Tomorrow I take Alaina to get picked up by Mimi and Papa. We will eat out for my b-day and then I'll head home to pack. And right after work Wednesday, its straight to the airport. I'm going to grab a drink at the airport when I get to Chicago I think. Since I'm not going to be driving . . .why not?

Stacey called to ask if I wanted a pair of mouse ears . . heck yes I do! Then she quotes me the price . . . 16-20 dollars. . . .heck no I don't ; ) Not for a pair of plastic mouse ears, no thank you! Maybe I'll change my mind when I get down there, but for now, I'll stick with no.

And the worst part about getting ready to go down . . . .swimsuit shopping. Ouch! It was rough going for a while, but I finally found a suitable suit. Thanks goodness and just to make myself a little more secure, two mini trips to the tanning booth. 20 minutes to a new me!

and that's about all I can handle right now, I didn't get much sleep since Alaina decided to have nightmares last night. Zombie mommy is signing off.
