Keeping Busy

Best laid plans and all that... I intended to do so much today. Blake's cousin is visiting us this week and though he probably doesn't care if the apartment is spotless (he's a man), I care. Instead of cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, I laid on the couch all day reading books... and sniffling... and being miserable. That's just the way it goes sometimes. You have everything all planned out and the universe points it little finger BAM! oh well.

On the up side, Blake brought me soup and water and blankies all day.

Tomorrow, though, I'm cleaning this place. Sick or not.

I usually clean on Saturdays, but yesterday we were busy buying the TV of our dreams. Forty-two inches of LCD heaven and a beautiful new TV-stand. *sigh* I do love technology. It's a lesson in patience, though, as our Xbox 360 is on its way back from the xbox hospital. We have this beautiful new TV and no way to watch or play anything on it. Oh well. The 360 comes back Tuesday. We get COD World at War tomorrow... and in a few weeks we're buying a PS3 so we can watch Blu-Ray, stream TV and movies and well... endless possibilities.

When it comes to cooking, decorating and just about anything other than technology, my frugal side always wins. When it comes to gadgets, my husband has an easy time talking me into things. We won't be spending our entire refund, but we'll definitely be unloading a good portion of it. Plus we've got some money coming from our move to Pensacola.

In other news, Blake starts Primary on the 30th. We thought he would have at least a few weeks off, but with the new push to hurry people through flight school, everything's on a faster track. The pool of students waiting around, getting paid only to muster in the morning was getting ridiculously large.

So, this week is kind of his last hurrah before six months of work-hard, work-hard. Luckily, his cousin is coming down so Blake can make the most of his free week.
