my super exciting day off!

July 10, 2009

That’s actually not sarcasm, my day was super exciting because I didn’t spend it doing errands, chores, or cleaning. Well, that’s not entirely true. I did laundry, the dishes, and finished putting together the chairs that we recently bought for our kitchen table. I also planned to cook dinner, but David decided to go fishing this evening so instead I’m cooking tomorrow night. The bulk of my day was spent with my good friend Sara and her adorable 13-month-old daughter Rory. We went to the skating rink (which looks exactly like you probably remember the skating rink looking when you were a kid, disco ball and everything) for a cheap “Mommy and Me” skate time. Five bucks and I got…

Then our boss will take and finalize it, usually giving us what we want but not always. I have had the same schedule since I started working here, which looks something like this (repeating every two weeks): (OMG I could never be a graphic designer. It took me entirely too long to create this image and it made me want to throw my computer across the room.) Well last month I forgot to fill out the self-schedule calendar, so my boss did…

Honey Mustard Chicken

July 6, 2009

As far as homemaking goes, I may be a little behind the curve. Strengths: cleaning, organization, scrapbooking, getting the bills paid on time, and taking care of you if you’re sick. “Growth areas” (this is therapy speak): sewing, gardening, decorating, and COOKING. I am completely inexperienced with cooking, which at times makes me feel like less of a woman, or something. (I’m exaggerating, people.) Anyway, I know I’m not going to go from newbie to chef extraordinaire overnight, so I’m starting slow. Hence my goal #2, cook dinner once a week for a month.
