YAY! It's Friday!

Melissa and I left here at 7 this morning and attended a Ladie's Day at a congregation of the church in Corpus Christi. Just as we were getting home around 2:30, I got a call from a friend needing me to help entertain two beautiful little girls, ages 5 & 7, so their mom could participate in a Bible study this afternoon. Rex called just as I was leaving to come back home and ask me to stop and pick up some supper he had called in to a restaurant. We watched the Texas vs. Texas Tech game for a while. I played Farmville and now am on here.

Tomorrow Garrett is off, so we will have Melissa and Garrett over for lunch. We are cooking a picnic (smoked pork shoulder), mashed potatoes and such for lunch, so should be really good. Tomorrow afternoon is cleaning and laundry and back to work on Monday.

All in all, it's been a wonderful weekend so far!!

We had a pretty quiet day. We went to eat breakfast at my favorite family-owned Mexican restaurant. MMMMM, eggs mexicana = eggs scrambled with jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions. It came with fried potatoes (which I didn't eat, but wanted to!) and beans (I LOVE THEIR BEANS). I ate it with corn tortillas - MMMMMMM!

Then, Gary and I went to Best Buy - he was looking for a game for his new computer - but didn't find any

Then I stopped at Walmart for a couple of things and back home. I made a trip to the grocery store but spent most of the rest of the day watching football on TV. Oh I forgot, I cleaned out a "junk" cupboard - it was FULL of old tupperware (without lids) and other plastic wear - just too much and I never used it. Now I have more room! YAY! I have a very small kitchen so I need all the room I can get!

I mowed the yard - I have a yard service, but they only come every other week and with the rains we had last weekend, the grass was already knee high and they don't come till Thursday. I don't mind mowing the yard, and it was only in the low 80's so it was nice!

I've been watching the Texas - Texas Tech game the rest of the evening.

I plan to go to the nursery tomorrow to get some compost for my trees, fertilizer for the yard, and I'm going to plant some lettuce and cilantro. The nursery is soooo busy, that I will try to get there very early in the morning before the crowds. Then I can get the compost and fertilizer down before it gets warm. I'll let you know how that goes!
