Days off....finally!

This past week I have working my butt off! Besides working at DRC everyday, I also had to work at the hotel Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights! So when yesterday came...a day off from both jobs...I was so excited! I got a lot done too! I went to bible study in the morning and then headed to the beach for about an hour. I was able to talk to Kara most of that time and catch up with her! I tell ya...nothing beats laying out on the beach while talking to your best friend! After that I got my eye browls waxed, went grocery shopping, and stopped by the bank and Walgreen's! When I got home I did laundry, and watched the bachelor (by the way...I want Emily to win so bad but I still don't know if she will or not...we'll see in 2 weeks!). I felt so productive because I got so much done that needed to be done, I just haven't had the time to do it! I also was able to talk to Ma and Pa on the phone and catch up with them. I miss them so much. I was thinking about them because at the grocery store I was craving our famous beach snack, "chicken in a biskit" crackers and "squirt cheese" This was a snack we used to only eat while at the beach each summer. I used to look forward to it so much and since I went to the beach yesterday, I thought I could treat myself to something special. I wanted to call Ma and Pa and tell them they had passed on their traditional beach snack!

I paid March rent yesterday too. Even thought it sucks to give Jeff a check each month, it kind of makes me feel proud because I am able to pay my own rent and be on my own! He also fixed my sink which is a great thing also. After he was done he asked if I wanted to have dinner upstairs with him and his daughter. He said he knew I had been working hard and thought I would enjoy a home cooked meal....he is really just so nice! But that was nice and we ended up watching American Idol after dinner. He fixed chicken Alfredo and broccoli and I want everyone to note...I ATE BROCCOLI!! I had about 4 trees with the stems and then about 5 stems by themselves. I know its not a lot...but for me, this is a huge milestone! I feel healthier already :)

BEAR UPDATE: haha...ok for the Bear update I have a whole story to tell and I took pictures to go a long. I was up this morning cleaning and I opened up this wicker chest that I use a coffee table because I wanted to see what all was in there. It ended up just being a bunch of old bedding, but Bear loved it!! He jumped right in and started sniffing and rolling around....

Then he figured out how fun it would be to bury himself under all the sheets and blankets! Here he is beginning his journey to the bottom...

He continued to dig and pull sheets out of this chest and dump them on the floor....

He is finally making some progress here....all you can see is his tail! haha

At last...success! He made it all the way to the bottom and he curled up and went to sleep!

So I let him sleep in there for a while and about 20 min. later he comes climbing out. So I folded all the blankets and sheets and put them away. Well then, once I closed the chest....he started scratching at it and trying to open it back up! haha....

Oh what a strange little cat! Now he has decided he'll just sleep on the futon next me while I type this blog post....

Alright, well that has been my week, just working and enjoying my days off! I am so so excited that Kara, Amy and Paige all come on Sunday!!! Only 3 and a half more days!! Were going to have so much fun! :) I know there will be pictures from that visit so don't worry! I am going to eat some lunch before going into work. Happy Wednesday everyone!
