Welp. it is officially not the weekend now. Know how I can tell? Mr. S. had to go back to work and I have about 50 things to do to catch up from my weekend. Actually, this weekend was quite progressive, but I still feel like there are some things to get done. Aren't there always?

"Could we just skip the weight part of this?" was the question I wanted to ask my lady doctor's nurse. I didn't though. Why can't they say this one time, just for fun? It might make someone's day.

"How much is a new A/C unit going to cost?" is the question I wanted to ask the A/C guy again when he came out to repair the one we have. I thought he was kidding. Guess what, he wasn't.

I do have a dr. appointment for my face...going to have some skin stuff checked out. I have another dr. appointment for my wrist scheduled...I can't wait. My wrist is killing me. I can't put weight on it very well, typing is super painful, moving it is rough...ouch.

Well....I need to fold those whites that have been in the dryer since yesterday. I hate folding socks.

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day. Mr. S. and I have had such a great weekend!

What I loved about this weekend...

• The view at the wineries.
  
• The super cute dress I bought to wear to the wineries.
  
• Bowling after a few too many margaritas! (and doing horribly, I might add!)


• Having an amazing time with my friends.


• The dog being away for the weekend so I could enjoy some quiet time.


• Mr. S. and I having some time to ourselves.


• Cleaning our house (I love a fresh smelling house!)

Yes, it was a good weekend. Mr. S. is taking tomorrow off of work so that we can hang out some more. It has been so good to just spend time with him this weekend. I didn't realize how much I missed just having fun with him. I am not going to let that escape us again. No good.

Have a lovely rest of the Memorial Day!

First day of summer break! I woke up at 5am to feed the dog (that is what I have done all school year, so I have to keep up that end of what I did) and let him out. Then Mr. S. got up for work and let the dog out. I remember him telling me that when I heard the dog bark that I should let him in. So...Truman stayed outside until 9am! YAY! I got some quality sleep. I woke up, ate some Corn Pops, and am watching Regis and Kelly. *sigh* Life is good. I do have to go back in a week to teacher summer school, so this is like a mini-break.

Getting my hair done this afternoon and then I would like to find a dress for the winery this weekend that I can also wear to a wedding the next weekend. That would be lovely! Or some shoes to go with one of the cute dresses I have. We'll see...

Enjoy your day!

School is out! I had my workday today and I am DONE! Okay, done with the regular school year. I am going back in a week and a half for 4 weeks of summer school. I have to go back Friday to pick up my check...yeah, interesting. We don't have direct deposit and so now I have to drive an additional 25 min. there and back to get my check. Well, since I am doing that I am going to just stay and get summer school stuff together. Blah.

Winery adventure this weekend! I am going to one I have never been to before and enjoying a little festival there. I am pretty excited! 

I could use a nap. *sigh*

Great thing for today:

I see some furniture in this great catalog from Lakeside Collection and Mr. S. says "Take my card and go buy it." Really? Really?! REALLY?! So then this morning he threw his card at me and said, "Seriously, buy it." YAY!! So I have just placed an order for this great bench to put in my living room. The bench and baskets come with it!

Then I bought this cute pantry for the kitchen. It has a tilt out trash can and comes with the baskets, too!

I am super excited! What a great deal and it was not that expensive at all. The bench was like $75 and the pantry was $70. Awesome stuff!

Oh, it is Sunday and we have 1.5 days left of school. I need to go run some errands.

Friday. I love Friday. I need a nap and I have been awake for 30 minutes. Awesome.

2.5 days left of school. I know some of you fellow-teachers are out there ready to kick me. I can't blame you! It is so nice to be done so early. We started the year Aug.25, I think, and had no snow days. This means that we are out on the day we had scheduled! Yay! Summer school starts a week and a half later. I am definitely teaching. People always ask why, and I have to say that since I don't have kids there is no reason for me NOT to do it. It's a great extra paycheck to put back into savings. 

I can't wait for my Friday night dinner with Mr. S. We usually go out on Fridays to catch up and enjoy each other's company. I am ready to hang out with him tonight. It has been a super crazy week for us.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! My mom is coming up for a late Mother's Day celebration. It should be fun!

Well, my sunburn is no longer electric red...it has tamed down quite a bit. 

We have 5 days of school left! 5 days! I have to say, I am going to miss my kiddos. I am going to find something special this weekend to give them as their parting gift from my room. They really are a great group of students.

Goal for today:

Get all my pictures downloaded to my computer. It has to happen because there are SO many of them! I also want to make some online albums and order some prints. 

Some things I am itching to do:

Frame a few of the prints and begin hanging them.

Beginning working on my money management

Get my meals planned out for the rest of the week.

I have a lot to do today and I am feeling pretty motivated. We'll see!
