Good Monday Morning everyone!
This weekend was a good one for me--very relaxing and slow :)
Friday I was home, as Thursday I was getting sick ALL day at work--living in the washroom--I brought up everything I ate (4 times in total and a VERY close call on the bus) and twice after I got home--so I decided around mightnight when I couldn't sleep that enough was enough, that it wasn't just not feeling well, I had the full on flu. So I told work I wouldn't be in and I literally slept the ENTIRE day. I woke up a few times to down some water and had some dry toast in the afternoon and for supper and slept for about 11 hours that night. Saturday morning I woke up feeling quite a bit better but I ate real food and it was just too heavy for me after a day like Thursday/Friday. So I just lounged around on the couch/bed and called it a day!
Sunday I woke up feeling like new! I got up early and put away some laundry and just felt like baking! Tyler headed out to talk to some people at the paintball field his team plays at for a bit (and stopped to get eggs and some necessities on the way home). I started out making my chocolate cake and a new chocolate buttercream recipe I had been wanting to try! SO yummy. Then I had some cream cheese in the fridge I wasn't eating, so I put it to good use and made some mini (muffin tin sized) new york style cheesecakes (threw a few chocolate chips in the mix for good measure). I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I make some delicious cheesecake, so it's probably not good I have 12 of these at home lol. After that, I cut up some potatoes and let them slowly boil to get a head start on Shephard's pie for dinner.
I headed downstairs once Ty got home and we watched The Switch--which, PS, I am IN LOVE with the little boy in that movie, he is the cutest thing and I just want to give him a big hug!...good movie too--I had only ever seen bits and pieces of it..so I had PVR'd it a while ago and we just got a chance to watch it :)
After that, I went upstairs and did the last few of the dishes and finished up the shephards pie. Ty ate the extra mashed potatoes and was too full by the time it was ready (though it was WAY before supper still--like 3:00ish), so I put it in the fridge after it cooled down a bit to save for his dinner :)
Ty went out and cut the grass while I cleaned up a bit more around the house. He came in and actually painted the nursery :) I LOVE the colour, and now that it's all done, I can start putting my finishing touches on the room:) Just one more thing (the major one) off the to-do list! Next we need to finish up our registry's (Sears and Babies R Us) whenever we get a Saturday where we have a few hours to kill!
Even though the paint was pretty fumeless, I went around and opened the windows (fresh air never hurt anyone lol) and we cuddled up in bed and put on a Disney Documentary about the ocean and went to bed around 11 when it was over!
Here's hoping this week goes by quick! Thursday afternoon I am off as I have another basic prenatal checkup with my doctor! Saturday Tyler is supposed to be playing in Calabogie for a birthday party or something, so I'll see if I feel like going to that or what--as it is my birthday weekend, and I don't know if that's my idea of fun--celebrating someone elses' birthday LOL. I did book Tuesday off though (my actual birthday) since work is no place to be on your day of birth!! lol I will gift myself with sleeping in :)
Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!!
