Back with more tomorrow! Thinking about doing a Day In The Life post. I’ve started them like 500 times and never finished them so we’ll see!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! Goodnight!

• Work is busy. Like stupid busy. Like, most days I don’t have time at work to do anything BUT work and on my breaks instead of taking 15 minutes to catch up on social networks, I’ve been taking time to gobble up books on my Nook Color.
• I got a Nook Color! It was an early Mother’s Day present from my mom. I got it two weeks ago and so far I’ve read Water for Elephants (so-so writing, adorable story), The Hunger Games trilogy (fantastic story and writing till the last 1/4 of book 3 which felt rushed and disappointing but still excited for Cassidy to read them) and just started on Divergent (Miss Zoot, who I love and and share reading likes with, loved it).
• This is the first weekend we got to RELAX for awhile. It felt so good. There were no plans and no schedule so I spent it alternating between reading and cleaning. The good kind of cleaning. Scrubbing floors and baseboards and laundry and purging closets and drawers. It felt good.
• I’m currently typing this while watching the Survivor finale. I still maintain that if Phillip wins I will never watch this show again. Till next year.
• I have been really lazy and did not work out at all last week (see first bullet, after all that work, I just want to come home and RELAX). I plan on stopping this trend tomorrow. For real.
• I can not believe that Becca has blogged EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS YEAR. I feel like such a slacker.
• Survivor is almost to the beginning of hour two where they announce the winner and Ben said he’s DONE WITH THIS DAY once we know who’s won so I’m going to stop now. One thing I make sure not to miss every day is night time cuddle time with him. Best part of the day.
• GOODNIGHT!

• I have a very small hairline fracture on my ankle. That in itself isn’t painful. The severe sprain has me still limping around in a brace over a week later. I wish there was some awesome story or explanation how I was doing something REALLY COOL and REALLY FUN and REALLY NEAT but there isn’t. I fell getting out of the truck. In front of people. Who just watched me fall, severely sprain my ankle, and fracture it a little, and then they all turned around and walked away. THE END!
• Cassidy is totally turning into a TWEEN. There are a lot of things I looked forward to when I became a mom… first steps, first words, first day of school, it was going to be all fun and smiles and swings and cartwheels. Then she turned 10 and was all HA HA JOKES ON YOU, SUCKER! There’s too much to post about this under the scope of a single bullet. THE END!
• KC the cat and Hans are complete and total lazy asses. Hans spent ALL DAY SATURDAY on our bed asleep. KC hasn’t moved off the same couch cushion in two days. THE END!
• Ben is the most patient, understanding, ball of fantastic ever to grace the face of our fine planet. And also, falling asleep next to his warm body is the highlight of my day. THE END!

House Updates:

• We ordered blinds from Home Depot. Yes, I own Home Depot a letter of apology. Six blinds to go on the upper windows all over the top of the living room. We also paid for installation because ladders, heavy awkward wooden blinds, and blond don’t mix. I’m really excited for them to get here and be installed. They will help a lot with the sunlight that you can’t escape in the afternoons and also keep the heat out some in the summer.
• We also have a quote from a landscaper to come in and fix some sprinklers and clean out the pond, install a new pump and get it all up and running again.
• We’ve been slowly cleaning out the yards. Trimming bushes, mowing lawns, cutting down trees, this list is really endless so I’ll just stop there. It’s looking good and will only be getting better as the weekends pass!

Misc Updates:

• I forgot to mention the severe hives attack I had for about two weeks. It sucked. I went an ENTIRE WEEK with ZERO wheat, the hives went away, I laid in the bed in a fetal position and cried. I’ve very slowly started introducing some back into my diet, but not much. MUCH less than I was eating before. Being allergic to wheat is about a fun as having your teeth knocked out one at a time. With a jackhammer.
• I have become slightly obsessed with YouTube. Specifically, makeup guru videos. I have a few favorites and I have a blog post half written to point you to some of the best ones. Also, I finally broke my six month No Makeup Buying Binge and got a few things. I also have a blog post partly written about that because I’ve found some AMAZING stuff for AMAZING deals and I want to share.
• If I were a teenage girl, I’d totally have a poster of Adam Lambert on my wall. Best Idol by far this season. He makes it seem as if singing is just… effortless. TEAM ADAM!
• If you haven’t yet, check out Castle. Nathan Fillion is so awesome. I’ve had a nerd crush on him since I fell in love with Serenity and Firefly and he’s every bit as awesome in Castle.
• Heather Armstrong is going to be in Mountain View tomorrow and I’ve been trying to fit her book signing into my schedule but it’s so late and 40 miles from home where I’ll be then. It’s only 12 miles from work but I’d have to find something to do for five hours before the signing. DILEMMA!
• I need to charge the DSLR batteries. For serious.
• THE END!
