Lots of busy, lots of slacking

Monday, May 11, 2009

I am such a slacker on this blog lately. Here is everything in a nutshell. I have been cleaning my house top to bottom over the past month. Clean windows, clean closets, clean garage, and even cleaned our my basement. It's been very productive and very satisfying. Nothing was that messy to begin with, so I haven't worked too hard. It's just nice to have everything clean at one time.
Friday night, went to Jimmy's for dinner, always good. Saturday did errands all day (but that means I listened to npr all day!). Sunday, did the mom thing and made the most garlicky Caesar salad dressing ever! Does anyone have a good Caesar salad dressing? I love it garlicky and salty, but this was extreme in garlic. I don't have to worry about vampires for about a month.
Other exciting things going on: I was asked to serve on the committee to plan the United Way Servathon this year. It is one day for 200 people to volunteer at a few United Way agencies. We provide breakfast, lunch, and an after celebration with music, etc. It should be a lot of fun and I am honored to be a part of it. Another exciting thing is I get to be by myself all weekend. While I love Chuck very very much and he will get glasses of water for me and sweep my garage, he is going to Dallas to visit the 'rents and I am a little bit excited. Saturday I have to work at the Food Bank, but the rest of the weekend I get to listen to npr, watch bad movies, and 90210 (the original). I will miss him, but I am going to savor my quiet weekend just spending time with Anna.
The biggest news of last week! Jon is cheating on Kate?! While some may sympathize with him, it makes me so sad. Those 8 kids are so darn cute, I want them to make it. What makes me really sad is that if they can't handle the celebrity anymore, they are not going to tape. I love watching those kids grow up. I do question that the cheating story broke the same week Kate was on a book tour. It seems a little manufactured. Inquiring minds want to know (not if he cheated, if they agree to a new season)
Green tip #1: It is beautiful outside, multi-task: walk to the grocery store, work out, save gas, and get your shopping done.
Green tip #2: This is an oldie, but a goodie. Take a walk around your house and unplug everything not in use. Lamps, dvd players, radios, toasters, chargers. Save a bundle.
