4 days looks doable!
My weekend was busy, but quite good overall. Much of it was
spent wearing my AYSO cap as we had registration on Saturday, followed up by 3
hours of working the Lomita Founders Day event handing out shirts and smiles.
It wasn’t too busy, which only sucks because we need the signups.
Once we got home from Lomita park, we hung out waiting for
the fireworks show. We were able to watch it from the back porch, which was
cool. Since we are not planning on going to watch the fireworks in Redondo this
year, we got our fix. I still maintain that we will end up seeing some on the
actual fourth what with us normally seeing them around and it being a Saturday.
But it will be so much nicer to hang out, swim at home and BBQ. My plan is to
start marinating some chicken this week and grill that. My folks are coming
over and we will have a good time.
Sunday could have been more productive, but we opted to use
the day for rest. Bobby and I did spend some time in the pool, which was very
awesome because we spent the time talking while I did what felt like quite the
workout. Dax came in later and we played monkey in the middle for a while which
resulted in gobs of laughs. The pups swam, too, which is always entertaining. I
like how excited Luna gets to swim, and she truly enjoys it when we get a good
whirlpool going so she can float along. Lily still isn’t keen on the actual
swimming part, but she does love hanging out with us.
Bobby and I also hit up Savers to find him some more shorts.
We were quite successful, although in some ways I should have waited until
today what with everything being 50% off. Sadly, that would have required me
going in the morning to really find the shorts before they all got scooped up.
Sure, I would have saved $15, but the convenience fee was worth it.
I figure when I get home today I will have a little time
before Ken and the boys get home. They start camp today, but since it is the
first day, I kind of expect them to be a little later than normal. The first
week only goes till 12:30, but I would imagine there will be a little bit of
chaos and set up still needing to be done. They went on Friday and unloaded
most of the bins. I came by to pick them up after work and helped a bit. The
helpers will be there today, too, so I am guessing they will take some time to
be prepared for the next 4 weeks.
I am not happy that my chores this afternoon will be tackled
when it is going to be 80 degrees out with gobs of humidity. That being said, I
have no plans on leaving the house so I should be able to be in tattered
clothing and look all atrocious and not have to worry about it.
I also intend on cleaning up the yard a bit so that or BBQ
on Saturday won’t be gross. In reality, it isn’t too bad. Lily did chew up
something recently, so the debris from that needs cleaning, but I think I can
get a lot of that done Friday. Ken and the boys have camp on Friday and I don’t
have work. Woo for me!
I started my squat challenge today. It is for 30 days and I
figure I will go as far as I can. So far this morning I have managed 20. I have
to do 50. I have a feeling I can do at least 40 before I leave for the day. I
would like to get Bobby to do this with me as he has a little pudge to get rid
of. He passed the 100 pound mark yesterday which even though isn’t horrid, I
figure between swimming and working all summer he will trim down. Plus, he will
start soccer not long after, so I am thinking if I work with him, it benefits
both of us! I am also hoping that over the course of the summer we can replace
the boys’ bikes so that we can bike around a bit. If the boys start riding
their bikes to school, it will mean when Bobby goes to Hull, he will feel more
comfortable doing so. Sure, he can walk, but I would think it would be quicker
and easier to bike there.
I have been self-conscious about my hair these last couple
weeks. It felt too frizzy. I also have decided I really do prefer the purple
color. This morning I brushed some good ant-frizz stuff through it and it looks
so much better! I will start changing it over to purple soon. We are
considering adding red to my blue touch up conditioner to see if that starts
tinting it correctly. I can also just add purple to it to see how it goes. I
think I just got a little jealous of folks debuting their new summer cuts and
it makes me want to do the same. I am trying to stay strong and have long hair
for a while. The problem is I end up putting it up because it’s too hot, so it
feels like I don’t try to style it so I feel not as good about it. Hopefully a
color change and this texture solution will make me feel better in the long
run.
Sarah wants to start a book club with Alyssa and me. I think
the first book looks to be Judy Blume’s new grownup book. Now I need to go get
a copy. I will suggest the next book and will choose from my stack of books I
have. This could be a fun venture. Stephanie and I have discussed starting a
book club from time to time. I have never actually done one so I am unsure as
to what one discuses after the fact. Then again, I think most of the time it is
just an excuse to sit around and drink wine, which I gotta say is a damn good
reason.
Ok, now I am working for the weekend. Once this three day
weekend is over, I will look forward to the week off when we go to Salt Lake
City. Should be an interesting next couple months!
