Yellow...

E and I had a slight problem with some yellow jackets moving in to our house. I ended up taking the day off of work today to get the problem taken care of since I kept noticing more and more of them as the morning went on. I figured that since I had the day off I might as well make myself useful around the house. I made some salsa with our home grown tomatoes and some zucchini chocolate chip muffins with zucchini I got at the Farmer's Market.

The really nice thing is since I have to work on Saturday I also have Friday off. E and I are planning on going to the fair in the afternoon, but I am hoping to make another stop at the Farmer's Market to stock up on corn on the cob and more zucchini. This time I am hoping to make zucchini spice cupcakes.

Nothing else has really been going on other than working a lot and the same old summer weekend stuff. I still need to get our upstairs painted so we can get the new flooring in before winter comes. I think that I have also picked out a couch. (Finally)I will have to post a picture of it soon.

I Wanted...

I Got...



The first booties are by Jessica Simpson (I know right?) and I love them, but since I live in Minnesota and winter is coming I figured I would take the more practical route and go with the tall brown boots from Steve Madden.

Oh Hai...

Remember me posting about being sick on Tuesday? Well when I feel sick I turn into a gigantic baby and wish for my mom to come and take care of me. I also always want something specific to eat. A McDonald's cheeseburger, some fries and a vanilla milkshake. On Tuesday I went between that meal and a Sonic burger with some tots on the side. I ended up settling for Chinese. Specifically Chicken and Broccoli and Chicken Fried Rice. Which ended my vegetarian eating a few days before the end of the month. I was upset about it for about 45 minutes (which was how long it took for the delivery guy to arrive) and then I got over it. I gave it a shot, realized it wasn't for me and I moved on.

Being under the weather, and falling off the veggie wagon kind of caused a junk food binge the last few days, but I am going to buckle down again starting Monday. I am going to allow myself a juicy burger from the grill tonight, and maybe some potato or pasta salad, but starting tomorrow I will be back to grilled chicken and fish and lots and lots of veggies.

I still feel like horse crap, but I realized on Wednesday morning that it isn't a cold, it is allergies. Allergies are much worse than a cold. A cold will go away. I am red in the nose, my face is swollen and my eyes are watering non-stop. Basically I am one hot mess. I have a hair appointment at noon today so I will go and be pampered by my wonderful stylist and maybe do some retail therapy at the mall while I am there. More than likely not though since it is Saturday and I hate the mall on Saturdays. It is more likely that I will hit up Cub for dinner items and head on home.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Sorry for the woe is me post. Hopefully you all understand.
