Sunday Sunday

Hey looks like I'm getting better at this blogging thing eh? And by still saying "eh?" I guess I'm not as country girl as my husband accused me of being this morning. Yes the Canadians say eh and Ohio is only hours from Canada so I used to say it all the time. Anyway...

Life has been crazy because the husband works 14 hours days now and we barely get to see each other anymore. He comes home, we eat dinner then he buries his nose in his kindle and reads until we go to bed. But trust me, reading is a lot healthier then watching a bunch of TV. We've kind of sworn off TV for now besides on date night we'll watch a movie or Sunday morning cartoons.

Side note: I think our neighbors wear orange when the Volunteers are playing...I think I just noticed that.

This weekend we are headed to Virginia to spend the 4 (glorious, relaxing, amazing) day weekend with close family friends of ours. I seriously cannot wait to get away!!

I also got a surprise phone call that my mom, sister in laws and mother in law are coming down aka flying to see me in September. My one sister in law doesn't fly though. She actually swore to me long ago she would never fly but for me...she is now going to fly. I am beyond honored and excited to have them here for a weekend!

In closing I want to reference back to this post. And give an update as to the other restaurants we've tried.

Cookout - my husbands most favorite place probably ever. He loves the burgers and their meal combos in general. He gets tons of food for $5.00. They do have hush puppies but their not the best in my opinion. But their milkshakes are to.die.for. Seriously, peanut butter/fudge - holy moly I would have one a day if I could without getting fat.

Smithfields - another of my husbands favorite because why? They serve crushed ice in their drinks not cubes. His love of crushed ice is one I will never understand. I love them because their hush puppies are the best in JAX. And you get your food super fast.

Wingman wings - the only one in NC is 2 miles from us so we just had to check it out. Nothing impressive but it was nice to try somewhere new.

The coffee in my cup is Nicaraguan. I haven't been able to buy some so I had to resort to using my precious Nicaragua stash. A stash I cannot replenish until I go back home. Sad.

Cheers!

Winning!

Well life is about to change yet again - I got the job! I cried happy tears and did the happy dance, then the husband and I went out to dinner and ice cream to celebrate it was magical. So today I went shopping a little for work clothes at the Goodwill (yes I love a good bargain) and to charlotte russe where I got a grey maxi skirt. The most versatile color of all maxi skirts I presume.

I'm so excited to shop a little more for classic pieces I can mix and match!

Cheers!

Interview

Well on Monday - the officially start day of the full time babysitting gig I have- I got a call for an interview. Murphy's Law...I should of seen it coming but I didn't. So yesterday was a day of trying to get a hold of one of my two friends and ask them to watch the kid I babysit while I go to the interview. And in order to get a hold of her I had to contact a "middle man" for her number and Facebook stalk her - not my proudest moments but it worked. And today I have an interview. I haven't been to formal interview in over 8 years so last night's "let's find an outfit" hour was quite the task but I nailed an outfit and organized my friend to come watch the kid and at 3pm today I have my interview at the community college. I'm a big girl now!

Meanwhile the husband is in the field (yes I've done all of this without him home) and but he comes home tomorrow. Him going to the field every other week is beginning to drain on me. At first it was fun because I would get a girls night in all by myself to make brownies and watch a chick flick. Now it's more like "crap what am I going to eat since I can't make a full dinner?" It's all good.

Two days ago we bought meat from a local company and yes the guy sold the meat out of his trunk- typical. Let's hope it is worth the money we spent.

Well I better get going before this kid tears down the child gate on the stairs. Cheers.
