Dear Friends and Family,
It was a weekend full of odds and ends.
Friday night, I came home from work and went up to the deck to water my garden. And, to my surprise, a zucchini plant had sprouted in the dirt. Yeah! It's so much more fun watering plants than dirt.
Saturday morning, we slept in and it was absolute bliss. We spent some time organizing the kitchen before going outside to diagnose our leak with a borrowed pressure washer - no dice, still no clue. I did succeed in removing some rust from our walls, but only because I took a layer off the wall. Ugh! Lesson learned for next time. Then, Mr. mouse changed out my tires from snow tires to all season tires while I cleaned the extra fridge we had emptied for Earth Day. We re-potted our basil into a larger pot and planted some cilantro into the now empty smaller pot.
Next, it was mail pick up, appliance shopping and raincoat returns to complete out the errands for the day. We also picked up some Korean fried chicken at a small store in the suburbs. They also sell Korean style pizzas (e.g. potato, sweet potato and bulgogi). Wow, who knew we had the critical mass to support that kind of store? To finish off the night, we headed to the gym, which felt really good. Mr. mouse picked up some micro fiber cleaning cloths after reading an article in I.D. about them. He loves them. Our kitchen counters sparkle. I'll write more about them separately.
Sunday, I noticed a second zucchini plant and the barest glimmer of the cantaloupe plants. This is so exciting! I'm stunned they actually sprouted. Just in time for an unseasonably cold night tonight, mind you, but, wow. We went to our favorite bar for breakfast and the F1 race. Then to Target for $12 flip flops, then to Whole Foods because we got a $10 off $50 coupon in the newspaper - Whole Foods coupons? - it's a bad sign for the economy. And, came home. We moved all of our wine and liquor into the empty, clean, turned off fridge for storage and moved some appliances into the empty cabinet. Then, we made a roast chicken for dinner. And, I spent the evening drawing out a scaled version of our kitchen for play while Mr. mouse hung some "new" curtains in the master bedroom and the guest bedroom. They were curtains we bought a long time ago but had never gotten around to hanging. And, when we saw the amount of dust that came out of the old curtains, boy, were we glad to have made the switch.
And, that was our weekend. Lots of odds and ends. And, now, it's Monday.
Cheers!
