The Weekend

This past weekend was mostly great, considering it started off terribly. Friday was utterly awful. G had been up way too late the night before, and then woke up way too early. She was fussy, I was exhausted, and I ended up crying at one point - which she laughed at. I slept through lunch, so I didn't make B anything to eat (which was okay, he had Spongebob Alphagetti), and then much to my dismay I found out that B would be home late from work which meant several more hours alone with the cranky child.

Despite all this, and despite G waking me at 6:30 Saturday morning, I had a great birthday. It was lazy and quiet. I was able to lounge in bed for a few hours just reading fanfiction and being cozy.

Later in the day, we went to Old Navy so I could buy a new outfit with my birthday money. No luck. I only had $45 dollars, and they weren't having a denim sale so jeans were out of the question. I did find a pair for $20 on clearance, but when I stepped into the change room they wouldn't move anywhere above my thighs. Apparently I don't know my pants size. But that's understandable because I am still wearing my maternity jeans from Old Navy and in pregnant lady sizing, I'm an 8. So I thought a 12 in normal sizing would work. Wrong! There were also no tops that really stood out to me, and jeans were really the thing I NEED. So I went next door to Michael's and bought new art supplies! And I love what I bought. It has inspired me.

Next we went out for dinner with E and S at Denny's which was delicious. Afterward, we went home and I chilled some more, hung out with the fam, talked to my Mama on the phone, and then facetimed with my sister, brother and dad. It was a good end to a good 24th birthday.

Today, Sunday, was different. We didn't go to church and instead went to B's work family picnic thing, at the forestry farm zoo place. The bbq wasn't really my scene, but I did really like it when G decided to take some more of her first steps...on top of a freaking picnic table. That's my girl. Then we went into the zoo and saw some cool animals and G fell asleep in an adorably awkward position. At around 1:30 we came home, and all three of us had an hour and a half long nap which was amazingly nice. Then I got to work making dinner, and I tried out two new recipes. One was a simple chicken recipe that involved just oil, vinegar and a few spices. It was simple, and tasty and I made lots so that we would have leftovers for wraps. The second recipe was for twice baked potatoes and it was amazing. I'll have to find the pin but in the mean time, here's the final product:

My Sunday ended with some sketching, cuddles with my G, cuddles with my B, and some time to blog by myself. I'm really hoping this week will be a good one!
