I worked Monday morning but because we were soooooo slow and nothing was breaking, I ended up getting sent home way early at 10 a.m. I took advantage of the earliness and helped Scott throw out a lot of junk that we just weren't going to need at the new house. We really didn't need it where we were either lol. I'm such a hoarder at times. He washed and waxed the bike for the second day in a row (sorry honey) so we could go for a ride.
He thinks it's great that I'm home early because now we can go to lunch. We pass every single restaurant that I can think he could want, and by 45 minutes later, I'm hungry and the curiosity is killing me. We've been wanting to go to Melt Bar & Grilled forever, so he was trying to surprise me. Three quarters of the way there he realized that he didn't have the location in the GPS so we had to pull over and he had to confess his intentions of surprise. He takes a lot of pride in surprising me, just sometimes he forgets to do the research lol. I think it's so sweet though ♥ I looked up their address and was sad to find out they were closed because of the holiday. I'm dying to try this place. Back on the bike to find somewhere else. About a half hour later and not finding anything open other than fast food, we tried a little home style restaurant. Great food, lousy service. Our waitress had friends in there and they were discussing some concert they were going to after work. After ten minutes of riding, Scott isn't feeling well. I'm starting to think it's not the heat, it's me. We took the expressway home and he sacked out on the couch for four hours. I know he was sick when he's napping and the tv isn't on. I hope he starts feeling better soon. It's no fun annoying him when he's sick =)
Soooooo....that was my busy weekend. I have a sick hubby and a sunburn. How was yours?

Memorial Day Weekend...The Middle
Sunday was my niece Kayla's graduation. I'm so proud of her! I worked five hours so I could be there to watch her walk across the stage. Her graduating class was only 60 students!! I don't know if it's a recent idea, or maybe in the dark ages my school didn't do it, but as they walked across the stage they also had someone reading their future plans. When I graduated in the 90's, I don't remember a lot of the kids going to college, most either went to work, in the service, and quite a few of the girls started on their families. I couldn't believe the amount of kids in her class going to college. I felt really bad for some of them because all you heard was engineer, medical, even heard aeronautics, but what about the kids that are going to work because they just couldn't afford college? I hope they didn't feel left out. Either way, you should be proud that you made it through the torture of high school!
Her dad took us out to one of my favorite restaurants as a celebratory dinner. This particular restaurant has the best manicotti in the whole world, yes I'm convinced =) and the bread...*sigh* definitely droolworthy. The guest of honor had a slice of the most decadent chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream that she couldn't finish, you know I volunteered to help!! Unfortunately, Scott still wasn't feeling well so we went home and took an hour or so nap, then took the bike out for a ride.
We were about 45 minutes from home at a park watching the rain across the lake. Hum...maybe we should have taken the sign. I bring up the weather on my phone and the storms looked like they were going to pass us. A riding we go. About 15 minutes later, I bring up the weather again. In my most calm voice I say "Honey, the you are here thingie is in the middle of a storm...we need to go home NOW!!!" Yes, that was my calm voice. We come up to this light and I feel a raindrop, next thing I know it was lots of raindrops and there was lots of thunder and lightning. Thank you to the bank that was right at the corner that we hid under their drive thru. After it passed, we hopped back on and about ten minutes down the road everything was dry as a bone. Hadn't seen a drop. So his pretty washed and waxed bike is now a little on the dirty side. I was so sleepy that after my shower, I crawled into bed at 10:30 with Puppy and we both snored until he came to bed an hour later.

Memorial Day Weekend...The Beginning
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I know a lot of you worked on your abodes, kudos to you!! I had a busy weekend myself, but most of it was spent not at home sucking up my a/c.
First off let me sing to my love of my life...you may want to cover your ears..."Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Scott, Happy Birthday to you!" You can uncover your ears now. He's finally hit the 40 mark...I'd post a pic but he'd kill me. He must not think he's as sexy as I think he is ♥
Friday night after work we went to dinner with the in laws since Scott's aunt is in town. Just a quick bite of Italian and back home because Scott hasn't been feeling well. I think the heat and long work hours are starting to get to him. He also may be a "little" stressed...I swear I have nothing to do with it!
Saturday we went to the farm so he could mow down some of the paths and I could spend quality time with my LaylaBooBoo. OMG...it was in the 90's and I thought I was going to melt...think the witch from "Alice in Wonderland"...that's the movie right? "I'm melting, I'm melting". I spent a lot of time watching Puppy play in the streams and ponds on the property. Makes me wish I hadn't packed up all my shorts and bathing suits. I would have loved to hop in with her. Scott has such horrible luck that he burnt up the brand new belt he put on the mower (grass was just too thick) and his atv isn't running right. As in, it runs for a bit, then you walk home. It's old (10 years maybe?) and it's not like you maintenance those things on a regular basis. He didn't get much accomplished except for being agitated. We had hot dogs and sloppy joes for dinner which after about three hours I decided that I wasn't going to keep if you get my drift. I was heat sick in a horrible way. The migraine I had wasn't helping. Didn't get to bed til 1 am, and up again around 6 because I work on Sundays. These long weekends kill me.

I'm a Grandma!!
I received a really great birthday present from Dawnanna...her beautiful baby girl was born a couple of days after my big day! We had just started the home inspection when she texted that she was admitted to the hospital. After rushing that along and rushing my inlaws who were driving down with us, we made the 12 hour drive. Sadly we missed the birth, but we were there only a few hours late and were able to snuggle with our new little one. She's adorable with her ten tiny toes and fingers!! She was 20.5 inches long and 7.8 pounds, which is quite a bit smaller than the doctor was predicting. Touched with a little jaundice, they have been visiting the doctor everyday and taking her out in the sunshine for small periods of the day. Mama and little one are doing well =)
