This week has seemed pretty busy but today Lauryn and I did a lot of running. We left just before 11 am. We went to the bank, the gas station, then off to GR, picked up some burgers for lunch, went to Lloyd's office to eat and visit, then went to my old office and visited Aunt Dereka and some of my former coworkers. We came back to the house and I cleaned out the fridge, then went to mom's and Shane's before we came home and I started dinner. Lauryn is now sleeping peacefully in bed and I finally have a chance to sit down and do my daily blog....and watch my Y&R :)
Mom is coming over tomorrow after work and I think I'm going to make burgers on the grill for dinner. I might make my loaded baked potato salad to go with it too. Just depends on how ambitious I feel tomorrow morning :)

Such A Nice Day
It's so nice out today! I love it when it's sunny but not too hot!
Lloyd and I weeded the garden last night. It looks so much better! I love to see the tomatoes starting to grow! Next year I want to expand it and try some fruit too!
Mom isn't coming over tonight. She has to be at work tomorrow at 4 am so I took her to run errands and then dropped her off back home. Lloyd just sent me a text saying he was on his way home which makes me very happy because we thought he was going to have late appointments tonight. We're having burgers and potatoes on the grill and salads for dinner. I think we don't have any big plans this weekend so it will be nice to spend some time together!

Busy Day
This morning I've already run a couple of errands, started another load of the never-ending laundry, and I have quite a bit of cleaning to do around the house. I've got to sweep and mop the kitchen, de-hair the bathroom floor (it's tiled and cold so Cloz'r lays there all of the time), wash the bedding, I still need to get out to weed that garden, and pick up in the living room. We're supposed to go out to Kathye's tonight for "workout Wednesday" some time this afternoon.
Last night's dinner was so yummy! I made burgers on the grill and linguine oil and garlic. I saw on one of the cooking shows that to make sure your burgers don't shrink up, put a dent in the middle of the patty before you put it on the grill. It worked! I tend to make the burgers really big because by the time they're done, they're smaller than the bun. Last night they were perfect. I also put some garlic juice (from the minced garlic I had in the fridge) and some Worcestershire sauce in the beef before I pattied them. I think linguine oil and garlic is my new favorite pasta dish. And after I cook it, my kitchen smells like yummy garlic.
Linguine Oil and Garlic (for two)
1/2 lb. linguine, cooked as directed on the box
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbsp. Parsley
Pepper to taste
Parmesan to top.
Cook linguine. Heat olive oil in a sauce pan on medium heat. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, until garlic gets lightly browned. *Don't over cook the garlic because it will get bitter* Take off heat and add linguine, parsley and pepper. Stir together. Add Parmesan on top.

Long Day
It's been such a long day and it's still the afternoon! My girl has been extremely fussy today. I can't wait to for those teeth to fully come in! Even though two have broken through, the one is just peeking out and the other just doesn't seem to be coming up very fast at all. I feel so bad for her. I've given up on the baby Orajel and I think I'm going to try those other, all natural tablet things I've heard about. Maybe those will help her feel better.
The laundry is almost all caught up. Seems like it's been taking me forever to do it!
I think I'm just going to throw some burgers on the grill for dinner tonight. That sounds quick and easy. Not sure what I'm going to make for a side though.
I've also been working on filling out Lauryn's baby book today. I need to find the bag that I have her hospital bracelet in. I'm having fun filling it out.
One of these days, I need to go through all of my clothes and find a dress to wear to my friends wedding. It's on July 11th so I'd better start looking!
