Time Spent

I took my son outside to play in the yard several times this week. He loves just walking and playing around. He loves being able to explore the yard and play with everything. Plus it gives me a chance to sit on the porch and write a letter or two. Once in awhile I will take him on a walk around the neighborhood. I am staying away from the main streets where there are a lot of cars going by. Anyway, he loves it.

My husband has been really nice and took the time to spend some time with me here and there. I actually got to spend about 2 hours with him this week! Woo Hoo! Usually he's too busy on his video games to hang out with me.

Quick Walk

I took my son out for a walk yesterday. He really enjoyed it. We walked up and down our block and farther down the street. My son had a blast, he seemed to be walking ME at times. I just made sure I was holding his hand the whole time.

At Home Gourmet Meal

We went on a mini-grocery trip today. I bought more ingredients for some new recipes that I plan on making this week. We also bought lasagna, salad, garlic bread, and an apple pie. Tonight for dinner, I felt like we ate OUT, without going OUT. It was really nice. It was gourmet-like to me. We can't afford to go out to eat, but tonight's dinner was awesome! It definitely beat going out. I shared my lasagna and garlic bread with our son and he loved it.

Our DS has been biting off the tops (the spout) of his sippy cups, so we bought cups that have lids and a straw. We decided to "upgrade" him to cups (with a lid). =) We tried it tonight with him and he seems to like it.

The Vacuum be Saveth!

My husband was able to fix our vacuum last night! It was so nice to see our carpets cleaner! Now it will be easier and quicker to vacuum. Plus we really LOVE our Dyson!

Our beloved Dyson

I basically complained/explained to my DH today that I really want to buy a new vacuum, only because he’s said (for the last 3 weeks) that he “would take a look at it.” Since he never did, I am stuck vacuuming our house with the hose…and my back is hurting like H*LL! So he said he’d take a look at it today and he actually did. I even spent some time this morning looking at a variety of vacuums to buy! Anyway, he took the filter out and cleaned it. We have to let it dry before we can put it back in the vacuum to use… I am really hoping that it’s JUST the filter that needed to be washed for our vacuum to work again. Our Dyson is the BEST when it does work.

My DH was successful at FINALLY depositing his paycheck into our bank account. LOL He gets paid again in a few days. My DH also went to get our car smogged, oil changed, and our tail light fixed. He also picked up some draino for our bathroom sink. It’s been clogged for the last week and a half or so. After this, I plan on using baking soda and white vinegar once a week to keep our drains clean. I did have a blast using baking soda all over the house to clean! It’s cleaner, safe for the environment, safe to use around my son, and really does work.

We got the Walmart ad in the mail today and I was really surprised to see Walmart encouraging their customers to go green to save the environment and save money.

Tomorrow we have to go to DMV -- fun… I am SO excited about this too… Not really, the DMV’s here in NV are really organized. I’ve never had to wait longer than an hour or less… Plus they have a DMV Express near our house that we can go to. I have to renew my license, just need to change some info. We also have to go grocery shopping tomorrow! I AM excited about this because I have some new recipes to try!

Our DS ended up taking 2 baths this evening! I won’t go into details as to WHY, but he really did need the second one. My husband even had to take a shower too. But the whole situation was very funny!

I lost my spell checker...

Everyday I search many different job sites. Anyway, I happen to open up a job ad that caught my eye… As I read the Job Requirements, I start laughing out loud (because it’s so funny). So I had my DH read it too and he noticed right off too.

Here is it:

Job Requirements:
Prior managment experience in a resort or hotel setting.
Service oriented with strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills.
Gook computer skills.
Knowledge of hospitality industry operations including timeshare, hotel and reservations.
Ability to effectively handle several tasks simultaneously.

As I write this blog, I realize that there are 2 typos! LOL Anyway, I got a laugh out of this job posting, and I hope you did too!

Naked Minerals

I’ve been using Naked Minerals for the last few days and it’s okay. It is like they say on the commercial. You can’t tell you have makeup on, it’s very lightweight too. Overall, it’s great, but I already use another brand of mineral makeup! I will probably use this when we go out or if we happen to go on a trip. It comes in a nice compact. Plus it’s pressed powder, so it doesn’t get all over the place or I don’t have to worry about it spilling out. It came with a nice kabuki brush that is so soft, very nice quality.

But I prefer the following mineral makeup companies:
