Monday Funnies

Happy Birthday Grampa!!

Today would have been my Grampa Martyn's 100th birthday.  Such a unique, wise individual!  Happy birthday Grampa!!

Thoroughly Enjoying Myself!

Busy weekend like always!!

Yesterday I was able to fit in a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax, all of which were badly needed.  Then headed over to Mike's place.

The good news?  Had yummy Papa Pete's pizza for dinner. The bad news? Mike doesn't drink coffee so there was no coffee pot in the house!  Crisis!!  Easy fix though because this morning I got up and cruised over to Mr. Bill's coffee drive through to get a nice 24 oz., quadruple shot of espresso.😊

Later in the morning ran home to get cleaned up then we hit the road for the Lloyd Center.  Our first stop was to grab lunch at the food court as I was starving!  Then we wandered the mall to see what specials could be found.

The Rue 21 store was going out of business so I scored three pairs of shoes for $5 each.  More wandering then scored 75% off at Bath and Body Works so loaded up on lotion, soap, shower gel, and a hot chocolate scented candle.

Cruised by one of my favorite stores, Debs, and it was closed, gone, defunct!!  Bummer!  They always had good sales and clearance.

Done with the mall, we made our way to Goodwill.  Ended up finding a scenic beach picture along with some Food Network dvds so that made me one happy gal.

We cruised home after Goodwill and now I'm sitting here relaxing while Mike makes dinner. The man enjoys shopping, even if he's just waiting on me to browse, and he enjoys cooking. I have definitely found a keeper!!!

Grateful Surprise

Came home last night to the surprise of my kitchen being clean! Son Sam had stopped by to raid the fridge and decided to help his mom out by cleaning. Totally put a smile on my face.

Hiring a Yard Fairy

Well the lawn has worn me down so I've given up and hired a company to groom it. Met with the owner tonight and set up an initial mowing, weedeating, and general clean up. Then they will keep it done every month so I don't have to worry about it.

Makes me think perhaps I should hire a house cleaner once a month?  Cleaning the bathroom is right up there with mowing the yard!!

Monday Romantic Surprise

Arriving home after work, there was a surprise waiting for me on my front porch - two heart balloons tied to a card.  For me?  How awesome!

I gathered the items up and brought them into the house. The card was heartfelt and lovely from my Mr. B.  So romantic!!  It's been a long time since I've had such an unexpected gesture done just for me.  It was the highlight of my Monday!

I Want A 5 Day Weekend!

Sunday already?! Why do weekends go by so fast?

Spent loads of time with Mr. B on Friday and Saturday.  It wasn't doing big stuff just lots of little things together. He took me to brunch yesterday where he works so I could meet his crew. One by one they came over to our table and seemed downright giddy to meet me. It's clear he is a well liked guy and they all seemed tickled to death that we are dating. We later stopped by his place so he could fix the Life's A Beach sign I picked up at the Peninsula garage sale last Friday. The guy knows how to fix things - score!!

Congrats to nephew Reese who graduated on Saturday. Hard to believe he is that old!

Yesterday Sam and his crew stopped by to say hi so that's always a treat. Everyone calls me Mom and it was hugs all around.

Last night Mr. B offered to make me dinner but my cupboards were bare so we went out instead.  After dinner we went to Winco so I could stock up on food. Well, maybe not stock up but add something to the nothing I had.  Can't tell you how nice it was to have a helper along for the bagging and unloading of the groceries.

 Last night we watched the live action Beauty and the Beast movie. So good.

Today is a working day for Mr. B so I made myself a hair appointment to get this wild bush colored and trimmed.

Have a great Sunday everyone!!
