Hi All,
How is everyone this week? I have been busy lately! We got possession of the apartment Friday, so we were busy trying to clean and move some things in. Sunday they had my shower for me!! They almost had me too!! If I wasn't soo darn nosey, and my mom wasn't so bad at being inconspicuous (sp?), it would've worked!!
Mom tried to sneak her camera into my car, since I was driving to church, and it would've worked, if Jim hadn't tried to shove it under the seat w/o me seeing him, when we were getting back into the car! Then mom asked me 2x why I didn't have any makeup on, so I put makeup on when we got back to my house, and then she didn't even say, oh, I see you put your face on, or anything! We were supposed to be packing up mom's loveseat and old end tables to bring to the apartment, then take mom to Cracker Barrel for lunch. At this point, once i saw the camera, I knew we weren't going to CB! We had to go to the firehouse to drop off my car and p/u the XTerra...JIm had his old P/U...so of course I figured out that it was at the firehouse! Jim's not very good at keeping things from me, he's a bad liar!! We had a great time though! Got lots of nice things, but Linens N Things are a bunch of idiots...they didn't mark off the can opener, so we got 3 of them!! AND, they decided that since we registered for the cute little dolphin candle holder...like for the bathroom, they would just stick the other dolphin accessories on there too! They didn't mark it as "want" or "needed", but just stuck it there, like a suggestion!!
I was wondering why my friend got us the back scrubber, soap dish and liquid soap holder in that dolphin design, but we didn't get the candle holder that we originally registered for!! I mean, the stuff she got was really cute, and we like it, but still...
So I went into Fortunoff and LNT's online last night and took off everything except what we don't have!
I'm going to make Jim and Valentine's dinner tomorrow night in the apartment. I was looking for a nice romantic menu, but everything that's considered romantic food, I don't like...seafood, lamb, etc... So I'm making him a heart shaped meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans, and I'm going to make a chocolate cake, or brownies, have not decided, in a 9x13 and use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut out shapes. Then sprinkle the bare cake with rasberries and cool whip! I hope it turns out as good as it looks in my head!!
It's comfort food, but we'll both enjoy it, and it'll be dressed up a bit.
Karen- Glad the pup is behaving!
Glad to hear DH is going to be OP with you, I'm sure that'll be a huge help! OUCH...hope you're feeling better soon! Remember, take that ibuprofen every 4 hrs...for it to work right!
Terri- I love the way you describe things!! It's like, yeah, that's how you spell that!!
Niki was great for that, in her younger days, when she could still hear every little thing!
Congrats on all that lost weight!!
RR- Glad you had fun at the ball! When is Mardi Gras? 6 wks hon?? Think it's time for some stronger drugs??!
OK, free time's over, gotta do some work!!
