My kitties are feeling the effects of this colder weather. They cuddle more often and I don't blame them. We have been having the fire on and been drinking coffee and tea on a daily basis to stay warm. It isn't even THAT cold outside but the rain and drizzle and gloomyness makes it all worse!
My grandparents house is almost up on the market. We have gotten (and be we I mean my mom and her siblings- I wasn't able to make it down) everything out of the house. My mom brought me this rock back from my grandma's garden. I love it in my front yard. :) I took this picture on our last nice day before it started raining constantly!
Paul and I made one last trip to the river (well I say it was our last trip Paul isn't so sure) for the fall. Paul loves watching people fish and all the fish jump, and I love hanging out with my hubby, so it works out well. I love having free fun activities!
Sometimes it would seem getting pictures together isn't worth it, as Paul never cooperates. But I enjoy these goofy, husband ignoring the camera pictures, and know that once we have children my priority will not be pictures of Paul and me so I must take them now!
Last Wednesday I got mandatory cut from work ( I was super bummed because I hadn't worked much in the last week because of jury duty) but I decided to make the best of it. Paul told me to go get a coffee, and we had a free coffee for our favorite coffee shop, and so I went. Best idea ever. If' Paul hadn't told me to go I am sure I would have skipped this, but the large white mocha (this is the only coffee shop I drink them at) hit the spot. I had a headache all day, and the warmth of the coffee was amazing.
Last Saturday I was able to hang out with my dear friend Sara. We went swimming, hung out at her apartment, got coffee, and played with her puppy. It was a perfect relaxing Saturday that reminded me I need to hang out with my girlfriends more often.
My kitties continue to be naughty, now they are taking linen out of the linen closet!
But they are still cute when the cuddle with me in bed while I am watching tv, drinking tea, and trying to stay warm before being productive for the day or heading to work.
Eric and Eleanor HATE it when I vacuum, these are their hiding spots, haha, so goofy! I also received many "presents" from them that night. I often find 2-4 presents in the morning, but sometimes I get 7 or 8!
While swimming with Sara we tried out my underwater iphone case and it worked like a charm! I was a little scared to take my phone underwater but it worked great!
On Thursday I did lots of errands and cleaning. I saved more than I spent at Safeway and I splurged on a fake sentsy warmer at costco that was on sale. In the evening Paul and I went to his annual SCEA (safeway) banquet and it was a bust. There were like 5 people there including us (there was supposed to be 30-50) so we just ate some food and ditched out. The cake was cute, but I didn't get any... Then we went to the Asian market that was just down the street. Did you girls know you could buy a pig head? Only 13 dollars in case you were interested.
And this is just a bunch of jumbled information. 1. I am 99% sure I got a day shift position!! That sticky note is the reference number of the job that is mine, I just need to apply for it online and for some reason it is not showing up, I will have to meet with my manager on Monday if it doesn't work before them. (the only reason I am 99% sure is because I don't like to get my hopes too up before things are set in stone), my manager did say the position is mine and was even telling other coworkers that while I wasn't at work, so it sounds promising. Ladies, I will be able to see my husband more and sleep like a normal person! I will make less money (no shift differential) but I could care less!
My mom found a thing online that said you could grow succulents from leaves, I am trying it out. It was perfect timing actually because I was replanting my succulents and all these leaves fell off!
I don't know if you ladies have ever watched Raising Hope (picture bottom left) but it is an addicting show. There are only two seasons out, Paul and I watched both of them on netflix, and can't wait for the next to come out (in a year).
And of course I needed to show a few pictures of Paul to prove I see him :). Paul has been riding his motorcycle on every day that it is dry outside. Eric isn't so sure how he feels about the helmet.
That's all for now. Life is going swell. I am hosting Thanksgiving this year for my side of the family and Pauls, I can't wait it decorate, and of course I will be taking pictures. I am 98% done Christmas shopping (earliest ever!) and everything is wrapped besides the couple presents I need to buy. Boys are the hardest to buy for! And lastly I have no idea when I will be switching to days, but I just keep thinking about how amazing it will be to have a "normal" schedule.
I hope you get the day shift position!! I remember our first year or so of marriage I worked a lot of nights and weekends, and Jeremy worked early mornings, then he got a different job that was all over the place and we never seemed to see each other enough. It is definitely worth a pay-cut to see each other more :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got some girl-time in! I was able to somehow fit some mommy night out time in with some ladies twice this week, and boy it energizes me to do that! Girl friends are so important. Its nice you have some friends your age too.
Your garden stone is so cute. I love that you can get out and take walks by the river. And that you are taking lots of pictures of you guys now, because your kids are going to love looking at them when you are older.
Also. That pig head is disgusting.
