Just call me Speed...

Ok, so I think I have a problem. Either that, or I desperately need to get away from here and go on a vacation!

Derick left early Saturday morning to go to my parent's cabin to help my dad for the day, and then he was going to hitch up his boat and travel to Medford. Long story short, he found someone selling a part for his boat, the part is being mailed to Medford, where he and his family can tinker with it and get the boat all ready for fishing season. He will be gone until next weekend!

So, with that, I woke up early Saturday morning when he was getting ready to leave for the week. That was 6am. I don't know when it happened that I can wake up at 6am on the weekend and stay up...all day! Anywho, after he left I was lazy for a couple or hours. Then the "to-dos" kicked into high gear! I ran to the grocery store to get food to feed me for the week (think big casseroles that make awesome leftovers) and came back home. I think that must have been the fastest shopping trip ever, and I even let the little old man go in front of me because he had a small bag of things.

So, get home, put the stuff away, look around the kitchen and say to myself, "that is IT! I am sick of the way this kitchen looks - it is a disaster!!"  Then comes fully cleaning the kitchen, all counter surfaces, vacuuming the downstairs, cleaning both bathrooms and start dusting, all while doing a load of laundry and trying to entertain Tucker. whew. and all of that took place while I am sick with a bad cold! So...yeah.

And that was only the cleaning part.

I also made a casserole dish and caramel rolls! I was really in the mood to cook more, but, go figure, when that bug gets me, no one but me is here to eat it! And i can't really have people over because I am sick...

It is going to be weird around here for a week. Quiet and weird! Oh well, at least it will give me a chance to catch up on some things.

Derick downloaded the entire set of Gilmore Girls to the PS3, so I have a go-to show when I don't want to watch anything on TV. I also have the little projects around the house that I have been putting off, but can do some of those things while I am alone! I took Tucker outside to play frisbee the other day, and am contemplating prepping my car to take him to the dog park some nights next week. I'll report on how that goes if it all goes according to plan!

Well, I think I am off, again to do more things around the house, although today I think i might need to rest up a little more since I am feeling worse today than I have been feeling. boo for that.
