I've had such a fun weekend. DH and I went to see a production of Les Mis on Friday night with some friends, and it was so good. I've seen it live several times, and this production definitely didn't disappoint. Then last night, we saw Daughtry at a local casino with MIL, her boyfriend, and DH's cousin. MIL got us third row seats, and it was AWESOME.
Today, DH and I are going downtown to check out a great local food truck, go grocery shopping for the week, and then we have a volunteer meeting for work tonight.

This has been such a nice weekend so far. After several weekends of running around or having family visit, DH and I stayed home with the baby all day yesterday. She's been getting over an ear infection, and yesterday she was so happy and playful and sweet--just like her old baby self again.
Plus, I've eaten way too many yummy things. DH got his hands on some raw goat milk, and he made chevre. My husband is making goat cheese, y'all. Damn, I love him. For dinner last night he picked up some bread from a local bakery and piled it with goat cheese, crumbled chorizo, and caramelized onions.
BIL officially moved out our house after SIL moved out of their parents house. SIL got divorced last April, moved to Boston two days ago to be with a guy and is engaged yo him since last night. She's been dating this guy since last August, seeing him every other weekend. He asked FIL for SIL's hand and FIL said "No. But if you do it, you have to keep her."
BIL is in the process of taking all of his shit out of my guest room. I'm figuring I'm going to have to paint in there and get a new mattress. He's a slob.
I'm obsessing over meaningless details about my first day tomorrow. I'm a basket case. Should I bring my lunch? Should I bring my books (work-related/useful)? Pictures to decorate my office? What about my tea stuff (I don't drink coffee)?
I spent all morning yesterday waiting for my dad to come by to pick up our old grill. My mom texted me back at 1:30 to say he would be coming today instead cause he got busy. So now I've spent all morning today waiting for him. He's supposedly on his way now. I hate how they have no concept of time/schedules. My mom doesn't get why I want to know *when* he'll be here. I need plans dang it!

I'm relieved he's gone. Whatever.
I'm glad he's gone too!
Ugh. He took all the shit he wanted to take and left a mess on the floor. I can't even do anything in there. There's a smelly pile of dirty clothes that has been there since March when he left "unofficially." And a whole other bunch of crap he didn't want right now.
He took his TV, computer, and his music stuff. I guess actually making the guest room livable isn't a priority to him.

I am so excited for dinner tonight: grilled steak with blue cheese butter, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and crumbled bacon. for dessert- pistachio cannoli cream sandwiched between dark chocolate almond cookies and amaretto soaked cherries.
It's hotter than hades here, and the humidity is high today too. I was trying to do stuff in the garage and just said fuck it.
Going to an awesome Irish pub later with the fam, excited about that.
Not so excited about STBXH coming over in an hour to split up DVDs and books. Probably the last time I will see him for a long time, or possibly ever. He is moving out of state next week. I am pretty at peace with it, but I have a feeling it is going to be hard when the moment comes. As much as he sucks for what he has put me through, he isn't a bad guy at heart and I will miss him.
I am excited for supper tonight with friends. We are bringing homemade (by dh's grandma) tamales, arrachera and fresh guac and salsa. My friend is making sangria so its going to be awesome!

I am so excited for the pizza I am having for lunch. One of the regular pizza places near me just started having an option for vegan cheese and gluten free!!! I have been craving pizza. I am super excited. I got a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and jalapenos and green bell peppers.
I'm so... irritated at JCP. They carry such a small selection of men's clothes and half of them are skinny jeans which are blegh on men. They dropped the one bra company that fit me really well. All their bras have a zillion tags on them so when you're trying one on you get stabbed and cut.
