Four Things For Friday and Weekend Plans

Four things for this Friday (taking the idea from Jake).

1.  Shoe shopping is the best.  Because sometimes when I'm very patient with the pre-teen and teen (*gasp! I have to add teen now!) girls in my life as they hum and ha and go to four stores and still can't find anything they like, and maybe they'll just get that pair back at the first store...  Sometimes when I'm really patient I reward myself with this strappy little number:

Buy them here
And since they're buy one get one half off...  Okay you twisted my arm.

Buy them here.

2.  Kidless Weekend is once again full of kids.  Well, in a sense not full, only two.  The Man had been talking about working on Saturday and I had been dreaming about what to do with my day alone.

It's amazing how much you can come to crave a little alone time.

Do what I want, go where I want, buy what I want, eat what I want without sharing.

Another day I suppose.  We're always happy to have the kids home.

Despite that I am seriously craving Saturday.  To sleep beyond 5:30.  Date night with my most amazing man. Dear Friday, just get me there.

3.  The Man has been making fun of me because when we were dating I had made the bold proclamation that I didn't want to get married again.

To me, the thought of marriage was horrifying and not something I was about to trap myself into again.

But as I told him, it's not my fault he's so amazing that he changed my mind.  I might have cried myself to sleep for a week after tying the knot, but it became brilliantly clear that this time around was going to be nothing like the first time around, and I've welcomed it with open arms ever since.  

The three years of being his wife have been the best I've ever had.

4.  I decided to try eating paleo for 30 days.  

I made it three.

I have no self-discipline whatsoever.  But I found I could only eat so many vegetables for so many days and I just felt constantly hungry for something else.  Anything else.  Also, it doesn't help that I have a taste aversion to meat.  Perhaps I should have thought about that before trying an eating plan that called for fruits, vegetables and ... meat.

You can't survive on fruits and vegetables alone.  Trust me, I tried for three days.

Okay, maybe that's just me.

I think I would make a better vegetarian than a paleo-ite.

Weekend plans.  What have you?  

I have:
sleeping past 5:30
date night with The Man... dinner and a movie?  Not a rut, a comfort spot
homework, homework, homework... two weeks of the semester left, time for final projects
birthday present shopping for T-bug
lemon brownies

I do not have:
driving to Vernal... their dad is in the valley, waddup.
