Better Than I Thought It Was Going To Be

We lost power first thing this morning.  It was kind of strange because it wasn't storming or anything.  I thought it was going to make for a not so great day because no power equals no coffee maker....AAAAAHHHH!  How on earth am I supposed to function without coffee??  We don't have any instant coffee because I used that up a while ago making homemade kahlua :P  Thankfully, it was only out for about 45 minutes or so.

It's funny  how the little things make you happy.  Last night, after Lauryn went to sleep, I gave myself a pedicure.  Every time I look down at my feet it makes me smile because my toes look nice :)

I think I'm going to throw some steaks, potatoes, corn on the cob and ciabatta bread on the grill tonight.  In my opinion that's the perfect meal because the only dishes afterward are plates and silverware, no pots and pans :)  Gotta love that!

Headaches!

I went to bed with a headache last night and woke up with one this morning.  NOT COOL!  I hope to get rid of it soon because there's nothing worse than spending a beautiful day being completely miserable because your head is killing you.

Mom is coming over for dinner tonight.  I'm not sure what I'm making yet though.  I did buy more corn on the cob though so I'll probably throw that on the grill.  I just need to figure out what to make with it.  It will probably just be me and mom for dinner tonight.  Lloyd has a few things he has to do at the other house, so he won't be home until late.  Speaking of the other house, great news.....we finally got it rented!!!  WOOHOO!!!!  It's such a relief to have that payment off our shoulders!  We are actually landlords, which to me is a little scary but I think we'll be pretty good ones and not slumlords :)

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Stuffed

On Sundays, I usually try to make a nice big dinner for us but this past Sunday, I was still really tired from the wedding/reception the night before that I ended up just reheated some leftovers.  Well, I think I made up for it tonight.  We had bbq grilled chicken breasts, corn on the cob on the grill, linguine oil and garlic and ciabatta bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, grilled and rubbed with a clove of garlic.  YUMMY!  Rubbing the bread with garlic is my new favorite way of making garlic bread.  It's so easy and so tasty!  I am still stuffed!

Lauryn was a tad fussier than usual today.  My poor girl :(  I wish her teeth would just come in already.  This is how it went with the first two though so I should have expected it to go this way when more started coming in.  It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take them so long to break through.  Once they've actually started to come through she seems to be a lot happier but until they do, she seems so miserable.

Between yesterday and today I got most of the laundry done.  I still have  a load of whites to put in but it's not much of a load at all so I didn't bother with it today.

I'm making more progress on that blanket.  I so wish I wouldn't have forgotten about it before so I wouldn't have to crochet until my fingers fall every night!  It's turning out really cute though.  I'll have to post a picture of it when I'm done.
