Back to Life, Back to Reality

Well, my two favorite shows over the summer have come to an end; Roberto won Ali's heart on The Bachelorette, and Lauren won on So You Think You Can Dance. I was a fan of Kent on SYTYCD, but Lauren is beautiful & a very talented dancer, so I was fine with this outcome! SO, with all that being said, it is time to get back to REAL life!!! Mike starts his second year of law school this week, and he also starts a part-time job working for a law firm that handles business & corporation law. We are excited about this because this is more what he thinks he is interested in. As for me, I just continue to go to work during the week, and I am loving having the weekends OFF!!! I'm excited about getting into a routine!

Weekend of W's

My weekend started after a long, full day of Work on Friday! I was exhausted, so I ordered Chinese takeout: sesame chicken, fried rice, & an egg roll of course! I fell asleep on the couch watching 27 Dresses & snuggling with Lucy.

Saturday I slept in & lounged around for a majority of the morning. Then, I decided I needed to be productive. "Clean blinds" was written on my To Do List because they are extremely dusty & need some attention. I got on the internet & it said to use White Vinegar. After dusting 9 of the 14 blinds in my house with Swiffer dusters, I started on the two in the kitchen wiping each slat with a paper towel with white vinegar. If you can't tell, this was a bit tedious, but it does work! Once I had completed the two blinds in the kitchen, my fingers were shriveled like I had been soaking in a bathtub for too long!! I decided it was time for a break for dinner & a trip to my favorite store, Target!! I needed more dusters to dust the other 5 blinds...I ran out because they are so filthy!! I dined at the #1 Mexican restaurant in Charleston (in my opinion), Senor Tequila!!

I found a few other things I needed at Targe besides the dusters :) I have been wanting some crossword puzzle books, which leads me to my next task, Working crossword puzzles. It is very fun & relaxing!

Today, I woke up & decided that “pull Weeds” needed to be checked off of my To Do List. I thought it would be cooler because it had rained this morning, but I still managed to sweat A LOT!! This task is hard work & never much fun, but the flower beds do look much better once it is completed!

I also Washed 5 loads of laundry, Wiped down the shower, Watched TV movies (Father of the Bride 2, No Reservations, & Something’s Gotta Give), and Walked Miss Lucy!!!! I would say this was a weekend full of W’s!!! I know it doesn’t sound very exciting, but it was a good weekend & I was able to stay busy which kept my mind off of missing Mike! I was also on call, so I needed to be available to go in to the hospital if something came up…just so you don’t think I’ve totally lost my mind (which you shouldn’t rule out)!!!
