Weekend

What a weekend it has been. We went camping from Friday to Sunday and it was so nice. I love camping. We took over the site from Chuck's parents who were there Wednesday to Friday. It rained a lot on Friday, so we spent most of our time in the camper reading and just being together.

We went on lots of walks and bike rides. There is a ranch nearby for horseback riding that is really nice. We love to visit it whenever we camp here. We're thinking of actually going on one of their pack trails one time, it will just have to wait awhile since I can't go while pregnant.

Chuck took me on a date while we were here. He took me to the restaurant, I believe it's called Popeye's, and got pizza and popcorn chicken. We got one of the milkshakes from the ice cream corner around the corner and decided to try something different. Chocolate peanut butter ice cream, with mini chocolate peanut butter cups in it, mixed with chocolate milk and whipped cream on top. It was SOO good! We then went for a walk together and just talked about random things. It's so nice to go for walks again. We also played a game of checkers, and I had my very first raw cherry. Yeah, sounds silly, but I always hated cherries as the only ones I'd ever had were in pie, canned, Bing cherries in juice, candied... you get the idea. Raw cherries are pretty good!

Sunday was a wedding shower for Laurel. It was fun! There was one game where we, the group, got to see the questions Laurel's sister was going to ask her, and the answers her fiance had already given. If she said the same answer as he did, the one side of the room would toss her chocolate kisses. If she said something else, the side of the room I was on chucked lifesavers at her. It was hilarious! So much fun! I'd love to do that for another shower!

Anyway, today has been not so great for me. I woke up feeling sick to my stomach, and it's still not getting any better. Probably mostly heartburn... although I've never had it like this so I don't really know. All I wanted to do is sleep today, but I have so much to do. Then it started raining, which means my really long overgrown lawn (which only took a week to get to this state) will have to wait for cutting. Also, the roof in my workshop is leaking right by the door. I worked at it for 45minutes, trying to sop up the water and find some way to put containers down to catch it, but there is nowhere to put them as it's along the wall, right by the door between the house and workshop. If I want to stem the tide, I need to leave the door open, and then I hear the water, and worry the container will tip (because it's a sliding door, so NOT a flat surface). It splashes everywhere. The one box is soaked, the tools (thankfully not electric ones) are soaked, the floor had puddles I tried to sop up... it's a mess. I had a real good cry over it, not that it helped any, but it released the sadness and upset I've been feeling over a good many other things too, which I will not discuss. Anyway, it's slowed now that the rain has stopped, and we have a guy on the roof trying a quick fix as it's supposed to be a rainy week. Hopefully it will work. If not, well...

I am happy about one thing though. Chuck took down the doors and trim in the baby room, as well as the little bit of rug that remained in the closet. All I have to do is tape over my mural and it's ready for primer. I need to purchase it first however!

So, things are getting done, slowly but surely. Now I want to go take a nap.
