Today is Memorial Day. Ah, beautiful summer! I have no had a Memorial Day off since I was in school, and even then I didn't really have "off" because the school picnic was then. When I worked at King's Impressions and Sylvia's Quilts they always had open and I was stuck there. So LALALALALALALALALA! It's awesome to have like other people! A three day weekend, imagine that! Yummy!
Today was busy though, like my day off always goes. I was shopping for 4 hours......and I wished it would not take so long. It always takes longer than what I plan for it to take. I had to get groceries, there was alot that we were out of. My roommate and I have been so busy that we have not had time to cook meals this past while and I decided to make a bunch of stuff and freeze it. I did some of it yesterday and finished it today. I made meatballs for Golden Meatball casserole, I made BBQ Meatballs, Sloppy Joe meat, Chicken Fettucine Alfredo, Pizza Casserole, and Chickenetti. I was hoping to make some potato dishes but I just could not get around to everything:( Having the meat together will help at least.
Today I also did a pile of dishes and some wash. I has at the Salvation Army and I always wash my things before I wear them so I washed what I bought there. I was also at Bon Ton in the mall and Bath & Body. I had a coupon that if I spend $10 then I can get a $13 item for free! I love their eucalyptus spearmint line of stuff so I got 2 candles (they are normally $19.50 each and I got 2 for $20. Then I got the lotion free. I LOOOOVE that scent. I wouldn't mind if my entire house smelled like that, although I suppose it would not be as special anymore then.
I was pleased with what I found at Salvation Army and Bon Ton. I pretty much found everything I was looking for.
Now tonight I am going to Sharon Martin's house for a cookout. Looking forward to that. After all this work it's good for me to leave the house because I drive myself insane with all the work I do. It's so bad I cannot even sit down to eat, I think that I have to be working while I eat and take bites in between whatever I am working at at the moment. So it is good when I am forced to relax and strengthen relationships instead of being a hermit workaholic!
I wish I could shake off this sore throat. I despise it! I have had it for 5 days now. Sometimes it's so raw that I can barely swallow my saliva. I decided not to go to the doc though because I had this exact same problem last year around this time when my family went to KY. I was certain it was strep, although I had never had strep but it just had to be. However, it was not and they did not have anything to give me to help it go away. Just a waste of money. So now I am not going to waste my money again to be told it's not strep. But boy it hurts and I'm SICK of sore throats!
Last night I was supposed to sing for a widow lady and I was really looking forward to that. However, because of her being so frail, she cannot have anyone around her with colds. And, I might be able to reach the notes but I would have most likely ended up in a coughing fit so I wouldn't have went. Instead I ended up going to a different widow lady with my family and Sharon Martin. Pat James loves to play Rummicube and do we, so we played that. She has the most gorgeous property that her husband built for her when he was living. We sat outside on her deck to play. Then we ordered subs and oh, boy, they were so very good!
I was supposed to have a music lesson today too but I didn't because of Sharon's party. I will have a double one next time. I actually did my music well this time but I will know it extra well for next week now I guess!
Ugh, the house smells like garlic because I am putting garlic in everything I'm making! I do not relish the scent. However, I like the good taste it puts in everything. So I hope the smell soon goes away.
This next week is not as pitifully busy. I have shelter on Tuesday nights, choir on Wednesday night and Thursday night I'm home and Friday night is family night. Saturday is Aunt Pat's sale. I plan to be there all day. That should be interesting.
Well, it was long since I've written.....I'll try not to let it go that long again!
