Well, today I am recuperating from the past three days of not working. Yeah yeah, I know, the weekend doesn't count as vacation but for those of us that work them, in addition to the five weekdays, it is a vacation!!!!
I started with swimming Friday morning - the instructor told us that starting in one week the class would start at 8 instead of 815 - dang, now I have to leave even earlier to get there. And when the outdoor pool opens, the class isn't going to be held outside like it was last year - it's too cold they say. Horse hockey - as Colonel Potter on MASH would say. Give me a break!!! I so looked forward to those early swim sessions to get a little tan in the early hours. Well, guess I can kiss that good-bye. Maybe I'll go join the place in Rolesville and kiss the YMCA good-bye.
I then went to get may hair highlighted and trimmed. Recall that last year I had surgery and lost most of it! Well, it grew back nice and thick but now it has this funky wave in it like something from the 1930s. So I trimmed it a little short again although I would love to get it long again. Oh well!!
From there, over to the Fresh Market to pick-up minimal groceries. I find that I buy stuff and it's going bad in the frig. So trying to cut back a little. I must say though, last night I made a French Onion Salisbury Steak on Cheese Toast that was to die for. I got the recipe out of a Cuisine magazine freebie that came in my mail - one of those mini-magazines where they try to entice you to sign up. Well, I didn't sign up but I did cook!!! Yummy!!! That and steamed asparagus - oh my - make a small dog break its chain!!!
Then over to Cheryl and Mark's Friday night - burgers on the grill and Trivial Pursuit. We hadn't played for like a year. Sherrie and Scott were also there so it was the girls vs. the guys. The women prevailed - as we usually do - and the guys didn't even see that we snuck in a wedge without earning it. Suckers!!!
Saturday was scrapping time and cooking time and doing nothing time. And Sunday was pretty much the same except for the awesome dinner I made last night. Oh and I made lasagne too but that is for tonight. Anyway, today I took the day off to recuperate from this past scrapping, birthday, hair cutting, swimming, eating too much weekend! Now to just sit back and enjoy the day before I go back to work tomorrow. Have a wonderful week everyone!!!
