I didn't name today's post. I have nothing nice to say, so I won't say anything at all. No I am kidding, I am just not feeling creative today. And looking back at all the rest of my posts, I was not very creative with those either!

This weekend was fun! Friday night Brandon came home and ate with us, and we pretty much vegged out on the couch and watched TV. Just hung out as a family. It was nice. Saturday was a day full of cleaning, then fun! We were getting ready for a few friends to come over and have a bbq, bonfire and fire works. The town we live in was celebrating what they call Stage Coach Days this weekend, and they always do fireworks. So we've been having a bbq and bonfire the last few years. We had burgers, brats, pasta salad, beer bread, cup cakes, apple cider and beer! My mom was nice enough to take Haley for the night, as we weren't quite sure how she would react to the fireworks. They are really close to the house, and very loud. She is afraid of thunder, so we figured it was safe to say she'd probably dislike the fireworks very much.

Sunday we slept in a little. Brandon got up and took my sister's car to his work to figure out what was wrong with it, while Christy and I lounged around and watched TV. Gramma brought Haley home around noon, and at 1:00 it was nap time. I didn't end up getting a nap, cause as soon as I fell asleep, I had Brandon on the phone telling me to open the garage door to let him in. He figured out what the problem with her car was, but had to order the parts. He will fix it next weekend when Christy and I go to watch the Twins play the Blue Jays at Target Field. I am pretty excited to go to Target Field again. We were there earlier this year, but I ended up having food poisoning (not from food I ate there, cause I started feeling sick before I got there) so I didn't have much fun. This time around I plan on walking around a little more, and maybe get a souvenir!

I guess I am really not too exciting today. I sure wish I was at home, in bed sleeping. I have a headache, and really my whole body aches. I hope I am not getting sick!!

Just another Manic Monday

Whoaaaaaa whooooaaaa!
Really wasn't ready to begin a new week as I woke up this morning and slowly got ready for work. I didn't leave my house until 7:30... which is a big no no. No chance of being to work on time leaving that late!! I hadn't even dropped Haley off!

After finally getting to work at 20 after 8, I sat down and participated in our typical Monday morning meeting. Nothing exciting. Just sat and listened. Almost fell asleep a few times.

This weekend was nice though. Friday after work, I picked Haley up from daycare and drove down to my parent's house for taco pizza with my mom. I brought the Scentsy suitcase down to show her all of the samples of scents available, and the catalog. Mom invited her friend Gwen to take a look also. They each made generous orders, and Haley and I headed home to get to bed.

Saturday morning we got up bright and early to head out to the Saint Paul Farmer's Market with Ashley and Erin. It was pretty chilly, but we were bundled up a bit, so it was ok :) It was the first time I saw Erin since she's been home from living in Florida for 3 months. It was really good to see her and a lot of hang out together (all 3 of us, well 4... Haley added a little more excitement too ;) ) On our way back to my house, we stopped at Erbert and Gerbert's for a couple of sammiches, Ash had to go home, but Erin and I went downstairs and ate sammiches and hung out watching Friends. Brandon was sleeping until late that afternoon. Once he and Haley got up, Erin and I went to Bath and Body Works, and I brought her home. I went home and we really just hung out on the couch the rest of the night watching Psych.

Sunday didn't turned out as we hoped. Brandon ended up working, so the only thing that got done, was a little cleaning on the inside of the house, and some grocery shopping. We will see how this week goes. I have a hunch we will be doing everything last minute before the BBQ on Saturday.

Meehhh 9/15/10

Nothing really spectacular to talk about... Been pretty busy at work these last two and a half weeks. And at home.

Last weekend Brandon went on his annual boy's weekend at the Kasson Truck Show, and treated me to a 1/2 day at the spa! I went with Heather (since her husband was there too!) to LaGrande Salon and Spa. We each had a massage, facial and pedicures! It was the most fantastic day! After the spa we tried out Vannili's on the Lake for the first time. It was really good! Huge portions!! I had the chicken parmesan, which was fantastic. We had ordered a plate of fries to share cause we were starved, but then our meals also came with salad... So I was almost full by the time I got my dinner.

Afterward, I picked up Haley from Heather's (where we had hired a babysitter to watch the kiddos), and headed home to meet Lisa, a girl who I went to HS with and sells Scentsy products. She brought along her suit case of goodies taught me a little bit about the products. Which I quickly fell in love with, and I don't even have my order in yet!! It was fun to chat with her, and learn about Scentsy.

Sunday morning, Haley and I went to breakfast with Sally and Jackson. It was our first time meeting Jackson and he slept the whole time. He is such a cute little peanut!! He was 3 weeks old and still wasn't as big as Haley was when she was born! Really tiny and cute :)
