work shmerk

tomorrow is the first official day of fall... i wish someone would inform the nashville weather about this little fact. its been gloomy and rainy like a fall ought to be, but it has also been sooo warm and muggy and icky. i feel like we live in a swamp! thank the Lord the hole in the roof got a temporary patch on it and hasn't leaked again. we have an insurance adjuster coming out tomorrow to inspect the damage - here's hoping it'll be covered and we'll get it all fixed up, better than new.

i think things have finally started slowing down for us. i'm currently sitting her blogging b/c the hubby got sick of me being antsy and handed me the computer and said - blog something. it's just that we've been so crazy busy since april that when i don't have something to do i'm not sure what to do if that makes sense. i'm sure in a few more days though i'll figure out how to be a nice little couch potato again!

friday night we had dinner with our sweet wonderful friends and neighbors and they taught us how to play a card game called rook... it was so much fun! i can't wait to play again. picking up a new card game is not always the easiest for me, but i think by the end i was getting the hang of it. it was also so nice to spend some time with them. we literally live right across the street from them and hardly ever get to hang out, so it was a nice little blessing to spend the evening having dinner and playing games. i hope we can do it again soon!

we're still on the kick of trying some new recipes. i made some super amazing yummy sweet and sour pork - it actually tasted like a dish you'd get out somewhere AND it was out of a Cooking Light magazine, so it was yummy and healthy. and yesterday i made a spinach/veggie/tofu lasagna. i know, i know, TOFU??? but it was just mixed in with the cheese and you couldn't even taste it. it just added lots of good for you protein. later this week i'm trying my hand at pesto for the first time. we shall see how that goes! i'm really trying to be serious about getting healty and losing some weight. i'm hoping the change in diet will help this process along.

i don't know what was in the air today but i had my klutzy hat on. it's mostly dark now when we get up for work and i wandered into the bathroom to get my lotion... it's one of those big ones that has like a pump on it ... well i guess i had the pump pointed right at my stomach and that's exactly where all the lotion went - ugh! then later in the day i was eating a small ceaser salad and went to stab at a tomato only to have ceaser dressing rocket right into my eye. let me tell you, ceaser dressing in your eye does not so much feel good!

well i guess that's about it for now. our sweet wonderful friend miss a is in labor as we speak. if anyone thinks of it, please say up a prayer for her. it's her first and i can imagine how excited/nervous/anxious she might be. i can't wait to meet her little man though!!!
