How's everyone faring this first day back to work? I hope you all had a good day off yesterday!
I was going to go to the gym tonight, but I just couldn't get out of bed. I'll go tonight for sure.
We had 4 really brown bananas in our work fruit bowl, so I made banana bread for everyone last night. I'm slowly introducing everyone to American snacks at work. Really, it's my civic duty.
ETA: Someone at work actually just said to me about the banana bread "This is really lovely and moist. And the best part is that it doesn't have a soggy bottom. I really hate soggy bottoms." bwhahahaha. I love those Brits sometimes.

Dan goes back to work today after a three-week paternity leave, so it's my first day home alone with C. We'll probably just hang out most of the day, though I do need to run to Safeway to buy a small birthday cake for a friend who's coming over for dinner. We might also go to Chase to open her a bank account, though that may wait until Thursday when my parents are in town again (yay!) and can help out.
I also need to do a bunch of boring grown-up stuff, like call another air conditioning company to fix the AC that apparently didn't get fully fixed last month (it started leaking again last night). I am so, so irritated.
I just did the gorilla trek. Oh my goodness, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Seriously the coolest thing I have done in as long as I can remember. A baby gorilla grabbed my leg! They were AMAZING. I will try to share a video sometime because words do not do it justice, but it seriously should be on everyone's bucket list if you like travel and animals.
You had me at "baby gorilla." I must see that video!!

I came to work to find the most bizarre email from one of our Anniversary Award vendors. In it there was a pretend/false email convo from myname@gmail.com instead of my work email address, and it had me sounding like a crazy person wanting to cancel my order. Anywho... I'm spending time today to order another anniversary award from another vendor, because these guys are crazycakes.
I had a great weekend. I am so happy that College football is officially back (though the Huskies kept it way too close!), and the NFL regular season begins in two days!!!!

If you need a recommendation, this place is awesome. I've used them for a long time and they've always been great.

I'm so happy this week is a short week. H took thursday and friday off. I'm so jealous. I have no motivation today, but I am going to trek through it!
Yesterday we went to the park and just relaxed at home. It was so nice. Last night I got the best sleep in a while too.
I got my half time. I'm a little disapointed in it, but I shouldn't be. I ran a great race. I can count four minutes towards a potty stop And with only being able to run one to two days a week 2:30 isn't that bad.

First day of school. I miss my boy and it makes me sad that he's getting so big. 4th grade today.
I'm at work. Tman will go straight to piano lessons after school, then I'll pick him up and take him straight to karate. It's going to be a busy first day of school for him. I think we might take him out of karate if he starts to really get into cub scouts.
We took some photo booth pictures yesterday and they turned out really cute. I'm going to scan them tonight and post them.
So much to do this week! I'm hoping our playoff game gets rained out tonight. Glad for the short week though. Counting down the days until we are on a plane to Chicago!
very busy next few weeks at work for me, coming back after vacation is always rough, I'm still catching up and covering for a coworker that is out on vacation. happy for the short week this week!
I am chillin' at home today. I was going to take the girls to go visit my grandma but I am going to put that off for a different day this week. Where is the rain today called for?
Good news, I got my work out done and don't have to think about it. Even better news, one kid goes to nap in about 30min. I've also started using essential oils on the hound to see if it will help with her allergies and I think it might be helping a little bit. yay!

Yesterday was so much fun! I went to work at PetSmart in the morning and then my SIL invited me over to her family's cabin on Camino Island. We hung out in the lake on inner tubes and Abby joined us for like, a minute. She's not a fan of playing in water. We did get her to hang out on my lap for a while though. She did seem to like that.
Working later today, nothing else planned.
@uwhuskygirl That reminds me of O Brother Where Art Thou and the group called the Soggy Bottom Boys.
