Another busy weekend...

The weekend just flew by.

- We spent Friday night out for dinner (tried a new restaurant) and at the coffee shop with friends. 

- Saturday we ran some errands, shopping, and cleaned around the house. D got himself a smoker, an early birthday present and was incredibly eager to begin smoking some meat. I had to work that night, I was on schedule for 9pm - 2am for floor set but ended up staying until 4:15am.

- Slept for 5 hours, then had to be back at work for 1pm to 7pm on Sunday.

As I said, the weekend flew by. I have today off from work and we are having people over for bbq and Monday night football. Go Jags!!!

I only work one day this week, Tuesday, so I'm hoping to get quite a few things done around the house instead of taking it a little easy like I usually do when I'm working. Marley is taking a nap so I am getting stuff done around the house, cleaning up from the weekend, putting out a few Halloween decorations (we got lights for the front yard) and just getting the place presentable for tonight.

Marley has her 4 month check up on Thursday. I know I said before that it was Wednesday of last week. Well it was really Tuesday of last week and we missed it. 

This is what Marley thinks about going to the doctor for shots this week.  (Check out the pink Jaguars gear!)

 I have had all my days and dates all messed up since I started work. I need more sleep.

Thanksgiving Dinner

My little sister came to visit for the weekend. A little after arriving on Friday we were at the mall, mainly to pick up my work schedule but a little shopping was done too. We ate out at Spanky's and had friends over to watch the Brave's play and win in extra innings. 

Saturday morning, while D was in Savannah with his Dad, my sister and I went grocery shopping for our little experiment - Thanksgiving Dinner. Back home in Canada today is Thanksgiving so we had our own celebration two days earlier and watched hockey.

A full Canadian day.  Well not completely full because Bulldog football was watched at lunchtime. 

Our dinner turned out great. I was excited because it was a first time cooking a lot of the things myself. We had turkey, bacon wrapped sausages, roasted potatoes, stuffing and corn. And had plenty left over for Sunday's lunch! 

Weekend Update

It was a good weekend. Friday's I've said I am unavailable to work and apply that also to housework. I do very little of it on Friday's. I spend the day playing with Marley and while she's napping I catch up with TV shows I may have missed during the week, like Grey's Anatomy. Laundry doesn't get done Friday & Saturdays and one load on Sunday. Which means Monday is spent catching up with what does need to get done. It's my cleaning day. 3 or 4 loads of laundry gets done so the rest of the week only the occasional load is needed like for Marley or bedsheets and towels. I've come to like this little system of mine. Before I said I would only do it on certain days of the week and it just mounted up and lots never got done and I would have days where all I did was wash and fold clothes. And although I currently work in retail I really don't enjoy folding and putting away clothes that much. 

So this Friday I decided I was going to check out what this whole obsession with Glee is all about and watched the Pilot episode....and well the next 3 episodes after that too. Marley also enjoyed it. She's definitely paying more attention to whats going on around a room and when she hears music on my laptop or TV she's glued to it. She already knows what she does and doesn't like on TV. Sunday evening we were playing on the floor in D's parents living while the Jaguars were playing the Colts and she was just watching the TV and kicking her legs, squealing and getting excited. She loves her Jaguars check her out in her gear...

(Yeah, I know you cant really see in her car seat but its the only one I got because she later spit up her whole bottle over it before the game started.)

We had a rather quiet weekend really, Friday night was at a friends for dinner and a movie. Saturday was spent all day at the coffee shop playing cards and scrabble before I had to go to work and Sunday was spent as usual watching football.

Its been so nice and cool today and suppose to stay that way all week. Perfect for Wednesday when I have to walk 4 miles working on the PGA Tour.
