It’s 2:30am and I just finished doing a load of laundry, scrubbing the bathroom, and doing the dishes. Also cleaned the kitchen and organized a couple of drawers. found a missing lens cap for my camera!
I think it may be finally sinking in that I can’t drink two cups of coffee after 10pm and go to sleep before dawn.
Off to continue tossing and turning…
One week until we move!
Today my husband came home from work and we had the pleasure of detailing our car. In the 90 degree heat. Blech. We were planning on taking it somewhere to get done but they weren’t able to do it when we needed it, PLUS they wanted to keep it overnight. No thanks. So instead he cleaned the engine/under the hood while I did the inside of the car including shampooing the carpets and floor mats. Tomorrow we’ll get to the outside. The joys of shipping a vehicle.
Other than that I have been procrastinating on getting other stuff done. I really need to get all the suitcases down and start packing clothes. Also have a few more things I’d like to try to sell on our online yard sale page. Tomorrow. (everything is tomorrow!)
Now off to beat my family down in Mario Party 9… or at least try to come in second.
Happy Monday!
So yesterday I am at a baby shower, Mckenna is running the streets somewhere, either at the pool or a friends (and actually SHOWED UP at the baby shower I was at to use their pool!) Omar is writing a paper in our room and little Omar is playing/entertaining himself.
My husband relayed this conversation:
Son: Daddy, how do you make love?
Husband: (not 100% listening because he is typeing/a little frustrated at being interrupted for the 800th time that day) What?
Son: Daddy, how do you make love?
Husband: (pushing the chair from the desk and trying to figure out if he just heard what he thought he heard) WHAT?
Son: Daddy, how do you make love? How do the letters go? (Walking in with a paintbrush)
Husband: HA! L-O-V-E.
Omar was busy painting a picture with the names of our family who he loves. So sweet and had me cracking up!
On Friday after graduation my love took me to my favorite place for a graduation lunch. Puerto Sherry, Blanca Paloma, my happy place. I’ve mentioned it a time or two.
This is the place my heart will always think of when I think back to my time here. I just love it.
Oh and my favorite yummy, delicious salad. Ensalada Spagnola. Fresh mozzarella and pesto. Yes please.
And little Omar and I have been splitting this as well, the provolone and feta bruschetta.
And Omar gets some version of the pizza… ham and mushroom this time…
The rest of the day was spent hanging out at home. Got Omar’s sea bag packed so that is ready to go for the plane. I was giving him a hard time wondering if he even remember how to pack a sea bag because it’s been so long since he’s had to do it! He does need some new uniforms as he can get by with less than what is required here but we can buy those in Hawaii.
Also made of list of EVERYTHING else I need to try and get done in the next few days, lots of checking out things. Still stressing out about the dog situation. Just hoping everything goes okay with getting him on all three airplanes, picking him up, and dropping him off at the pet sitter.
Rented “Wanderlust” off of iTunes… Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, I really expected more of you. It was one of those movies where most of the funny parts were shown in the preview. Omar did make a comment that I was a likely candidate for a commune after I made a remark about how they were living sustainably. Whatever.
Saturday we ALL slept in and it was wonderful, in fact I almost overslept for my hair appointment. I woke up at 9:40 for a 10am appt! Out the door in 5 minutes and still had time to grab a caramel macchiatto from the coffee shop next to the salon! Was just getting highlights and a trim, the girl left the color on for a bit longer than I would have liked so it’s pretty blonde when I really just wanted caramel. Omar says it looks good and he’s not one to sugarcoat my hair choices! It’ll work for summer, especially since I am moving to the land of endless summer…
I had to stop and do some shopping for a baby shower I was going to this afternoon (what, I almost ALWAYS shop the day of a party, it’s terrible I know!) I swear, nothing makes me want to have another baby like shopping in the infant girls section. (And no, no more babies for us, we are done!)
I was shopping for a gift for this lovely lady Amber. She is having her second baby, her first girl! She is such a great person, always smiling and happy! We used to work together, she quit before I did so she could relax for the rest of her pregnancy. We had lots of fun friends there, and TONS of food. Oh my, the hostess outdid herself. I must have had three helpings of berry trifle!
(I want that dress in my size! Seriously, how adorable is that!) Congrats Amber! Wish I was going to be here to meet your baby girl!
Laughing to myself because I am getting ready to put up a picture of the mirror my mom got me for graduation and I am realizing that my husband ALSO got me a mirror for graduation. I don’t know what this means, maybe I need to reflect more on my life? That I need to look in a mirror before I step out of the house?
Two totally different mirrors but I am super excited to get both. Omar and I picked out a frame at Pacheco’s our local (awesome!) framer. I ordered a 6’x3′ mirror and it was only 80 euros. Love it! Can’t wait to get it over the couch once we move!
My mom saw me gushing over these mirrors when she came to visit and told me that she wanted to buy me one for graduation. Done and done! I am so in love with this mirror and again, can’t wait to get settled into our new house and find it a home on the wall.
Look how pretty!
LOVE IT!!! Thank you Mom!
Hooray! So glad to say I am a college graduate. Seriously, to all those people who think it’s too late, it’s not! Get your butt (back) into college! And all those people who were getting their graduate degrees? I was so jealous! It really did make me want to get into school as soon as we are settled in Hawaii… Master’s Degree here I come!
(notice the serious look? I was SO hot! Between my spanx and the polyester gown I was dying!)
Thank you for my piece of paper Hospital CO!
Didn’t even stop to cheese! Honestly I was just thinking to myself – “don’t trip, don’t trip!”
Me and the family! They are so supportive and Mckenna knows to get your degree done ASAP! Don’t be like mom!
Also here is a little side by side comparison from last year:
Our super snazzy cake that I couldn’t wait around to eat… I was ready to go out to lunch and didn’t want to wait 20 minutes for the food to get opened. Commissary cake I’ll have to make due without you!
Me and some of my fellow graduates…
