TWTW - the one that was five minutes long

Felt like it, anyway. To you too?

Friday I found ways to occupy my time until 8 pm so I could leave for the shore like picking up, putting laundry away, packing, refereeing dogs, and making breakfast burritos. Bruce and I gassed up the car and were at the shore by 10. Carol and Dad left gift cards with what they had at each place which I loved (one from Lucy too, thank you!) and a hamsa necklace that is so me. Bruce and I took a long walk and met Ben and Jerry and Peppa Pig on their late walks too.

Saturday we were at the dog beach by 6 am. I some time talking to guests who were leaving and gladly taking squash and watermelon from their garden. I did the turnover stuff which included de-sanding the driveway and cleaning the window air conditioners, which are typically MFD chores and not my favorite. As a reward I gog to meet up with Jenn from Going the Distance who is in town with her family. Yay blogger friends!  

I left around 5 to go to Frank & Amanda's. I cannot tell you how good it feels to sit around with people we've known forever and laugh and not worry about ulterior motives or guarding our asses. What a relief, as someone slandered MFD in writing, saying he appeared drunk at an event earlier this year (that's on video, and was attended by many who attest that was not at all the case) and questioning the validity of his sobriety. Maybe more on why that pisses me the fuck off this week, maybe not. Definitely a blog from Fronk, because his birthday was yesterday and he always does a birthday blog for me.

We didn't get home until 1, who are we? It was a nice night to be outside and we lingered for the official birthday so slept in until 10 on Sunday, then it was get up and go and let me tell you, I was a prickly motherfucker all day. I encountered traffic problems, got a very shitty coffee, had to check out of Target twice because I forgot the milk, couldn't get parking at my house, blah blah blah. I also did three loads of laundry, changed the sheets, emptied the dishwasher, etc etc. Dan was over to soothe the dogs and we all canvassed for a few hours, then we headed to Aubrey's parents to help eat some seafood they had leftover from Saturday. A spontaneous move for me, just hearing from my brother Sunday morning. When we left to go home my dad and brother left my tupperware and towels on the car. MFD and I got a good laugh out of that.

Weekly food prep: breakfast is breakfast burritos. Lunch is tuna salad over lettuce topped with cherry tomatoes from the farm market. Dinner is pineapple teriyaki chicken over rice with steamed broccoli. I also made mexican sour cream dip. 

Before I knew it it was 10 pm and I had no idea where the weekend even went. 

How was yours?
