did you think that by the title i was going to write nice things about my mom? well, im not. i am writing so she can keep abreast-a-boolbies- on the goings on of around here.
Today was my first day back at work since last Thurs! man, it was hard! Robert mentioned to me that these last 2 weeks will be the hardest! so far, he has been right. the time flies, however, so that is a good thing.
Friday was our anniversary, Mom took Hannah and Michael and i headed to Red Robin for food! YUM! i got a wrap with chicken and bbq sauce, he got a burger. we love their bottomless fries. "i'll take a side of heartburn, and a double portion of indegestion" HA! that is what my body said to me for ordering that food. oh well, you cant win them all.
after our dinner we went shopping, target, kmart, menards. we are looking for tile for the bathroom, we purchased 12 x12 sheets of 1" glass tile in a aqua marine blue. not sure what we'll do with that just yet, but it is the perfect color, we both LOVE the glass mosaic tiles :) the other stores were a failure. i have been looking for wardrobe pieces for my new job and wont spend too much on them, so didnt find anything to spend money on. I did reallly enjoy all the dressed at target. i know they would look so cute on too! soon and very soon i get to dress up regurlarly!
the other night we watched Iowa play Rutgers and C Vivian Stringer was the coach. i remember going to Carver as girl scouts and thinking i was going to have a job one day where i would dress up! that day has almost arrived! i am more excited about the clothes i get to wear than the job! lol
Saturday we did more shopping for tile-no luck. i went to the Small Harbor at Pamela's and had a blast! i really enjoy getting to know ladies and this is the best way to get to know them, spending time together. fun times. after that i went home and watched the UNI panther beat Kansas! that was very exciting. i also baked Amish Bread for church fellowship time sunday.
sunday we went to chruch, in purple to celebrate our Member that was playing in the Big Dance for UNI, Katelin O. That was great. after church mom and Tricia came over for chilli and fellowship and cards! what a fun time, even if i got beat. after that we lounged on the couches and watched Cheerleading championships, wow! impressive stuff really. we also watched Iowa wrestling take the national title.
monday michal and i both had the day off work. we slept in, then Hannah and i walked Chapman, walked and ran actually, fun times. we then had breakfast and got ready for a dump run. all of the garbage from demolishing the bathroom was on our back porch. we got the truck loaded and while Mihcale was filling th eload with more stuff i started raking and clealing my yard. i filled the Yard-y and we were off. after the dump i cleaned the back porch so it is ready for lounging as the weather warms up! i really love that back porch.
that is a good recap of my weekend! it was a good one, and i look forward to this being my last Sunday to work! so excited about that. enjoy the post, mom!

I was so excited to get in here and read this tonight! It must have been there all day but I am just reading it now. It's always fun to read what is going on even if we talk it's still fun to read it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad Robert has warned you so now you won't be taken off guard by the tough time that may or may not be ahead
good job on the walking/running with Hannah and Chapman!
I bet your yard looks great! Can't wait for a time to come and hang out on your porch!
I love you, please keep posting!
I am glad you posted too JoAnna! I enJOY reading what you are up to also. It looks like you had a terrific weekend - and I am so glad we "shared" the Harbor together" - it was fun. That is great that you had a good run, time with Michael, etc. I will be praying that you find the "right tile". I too want to come out and "hang out on your porch" ha ha. Maybe you can come over to our house and hang out on our porch - well, at least to eat...we don't have the privacy like you guys do. I love you!
ReplyDeletewoah! that was a long post! keep up the good work! we need to take some serious loads to the dump one of these days :( Oh well...it'll all get done eventually, right? that's what i've been telling myself for years. I'm glad you took the time to post and catch us up...now you need to do it again! Love you!
