It was pretty low key. Ivy and I went to one of my Aunt's house to swim and have dinner. I made that awesome flag cake for Fourth of July. Sadly, my nephew and mom got a stomach virus or something and we couldn't hang out as much. But we bought a new car! Exciting because we've had only one car for about 5 years. Three of those years it wasn't an inconvenience because Ryan and I worked at the same place. Two of those years, Ryan dropped me off at work. The fact that Ryan got a job necessitated that we needed a second car.
Yesterday was my birthday. I woke up to some awesome stuff. I was taking my medicine and had a mouth full of water. Ivy came into the bedroom and started jabbering at me like usual. I was listening of course but couldn't reply.
Ivy: Mom you're awake!
Me: Mmmhmm
I: Mom!
M: ??
I: Mom! Look at me!
M: *turning so I can look*
I: *points at me, matter of factly* Happy Birthday.
She was totally serious, by the way. I wish I had been able to video/record that moment. I could not stop laughing.
I got to open up some presents. A very lovely coffee mug and some gift cards to some of my favored stores. I had an appointment so we ate at a restaurant that we used to frequent, Chiloso. Yummy breakfast tacos. I get eggs, potatoes and queso on mine. Then I had my appointment. Hooray for prescriptions. Got another little gift at this point, a necklace and another gift card. And we visited Sprinkles and got some cupcakes. I was really tired at that point so we went back home and I took a nice long nap. After that, we went to the bank for car paperwork. I had gotten an email for a free eyebrow waxing at Ulta. I like free and I do need my brows waxed. The rest of the Ulta story is a whole other post. I'm angry. We ended up at Marble Slab for ice cream - which my butt really didn't need. Then we went home. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching a movie with Ivy, dinner and the usual low-key evening events of parenting a two-year-old. And, to top off my evening, I did a vlog (which I need to quickly edit and upload).
Aren't you just so thrilled to know every little detail of my life? I know. Totally boring. I posted this on Facebook the other day: If Morgan Freeman narrated it, my life would be infinitly more awesome. I was watching Shawshank Redemption. I love that movie.
We should be spending this week packing up. We are supposedly moving in 5 days. But I'm sure we have this odd feeling of "we can take a few days to move, it's not a priority." So here I sit, writing a blog.
Did you get through all that okay? Here is the MenuPlanMonday for this week.
Sunday - Pizza: just a frozen one. We got home later in the afternoon so we didn't cook. Just went to the store for groceries and picked that up.
Monday - Hamburgers - I had goat cheese on my burger, YUM!
Tuesday - Nachos
Wednesday - Chicken parmesan with alfredo sauce
Thursday - Ranch chicken with baked beans
Friday - Steaks and mashed potatoes
Saturday - Hot linksI've been wanting to do some more link-ups. Tell me, what link-ups are out there? I'm horrible at Googling and I can't find any.
Have a lovely week!
