The Weekend is Work.......

Well, I started my weekend early. I ended up picking Miss Beasley up early on Thursday and she didn’t go to school on Friday. So we ended up going to Garden Ridge Friday and getting the car washed. I worked a little bit at the salon Friday, didn’t really make all that much.

So I am sure we are all holding our breath in anticipation for the date night story. Sorry winners….there was no date night due to Miss Beasley being ill. We will try again this Saturday. But there was some shopping. I have not been to Marshall’s in a LONG time and I decided to go on Saturday evening. I found the cutest drop waist dress and fierce black suede peep toe pumps to go with it. Total cost….60 dollars. I just have to find somewhere to wear it.

I think I need to decide what I am going to do about working at the shop. I think it is time to hang it up, or at least decrease my hours. First of all, I don’t feel like I am spending enough time with Miss Beasley, hence that may be the reason for her bad behavior in school and second….money isn’t everything. Hell, money isn’t even real according to the movie “Blow”. What I mean is, I have fell into that trap of worshipping the almighty dollar…..and I just had a revelation this weekend that some things are more important than money. So, I am going to limit my time to every other Saturday and during the week ONLY if I can find someone to watch Miss Beasley. Another rule is I will only work on Thursday and Friday during the week. Monday through Wednesday is my time. The weather is getting nice and I want to enjoy it.

I finally got around to phase one of decorating my apartment done. On Friday, Gabby and I went to Garden Ridge and picked out some pictures and got new pillows for the couch. I did not know that I could get pillows at Garden Ridge. Usually I am rushing around, when I go there so I never have time to look around. I also bought some reed diffusers to go in each room. The pictures and the pillows made a BIG difference.

Sunday, I decided to cook some ribs in my slow cooker and they turned out wonderful. I love my slow cooker because it saves me the trouble of standing over the stove, which I hate. I also tried to make a cake, but that just fell to pieces. I tried to get all innovative and make a strawberry banana cake and ended up with something that resembled spiced ham wrapped in a thin layer of cake…..gross….so, I am scouring the internet trying to find a good cake recipe so I can make a cake sometime this week. Be Blessed!
