Back to the Grind

After a relaxing three-day weekend, I'm back to work. I practically had to drag myself out of bed this morning. What a way to start another work week huh? If only there are three-day weekends every month.... I wish, I wish....

We were up on Elk Grover on Saturday. It was flaming hot over there! It's probably 10-15 degrees warmer than where we live. To think that Napa is a good 10 degrees warmer than the Peninsula as well! Other than a scorching weekend, it was great actually. I preferred to stay home because it's cooler indoors than out. Even when I step out of the house, I make sure I coat my skin with enough sunblock to protect it from UV rays. We got home later than usual because we were out window shopping. Good thing I didn't bring home any windows with me, ha!

Sunday was spent cleaning the house a bit, only to mess it up again while doing my scrapbook layouts. I had to run to Michael's for a few minutes to buy some stuff that I need, only to end up buying those "just in case" stuffs - that's the shoppaholic in me trying to justify my spending! I have to pat myself on the shoulder though - I was able to make 4 layouts and a greeting card for my uncle's birthday. I did good! I had a late dinner because I was so engrossed with my LOs that time passed swiftly by. In fact, I didn't even mind being at home on my own. My roommate attended a party while I preferred to just stay home and work on my layouts. It was so relaxing doing it that I think I'm already getting addicted. I took pictures to send to hubz and he complimented my work. Then, before retiring to bed, I had to do some ironing. Of course my day isn't complete without speaking to hubz on the phone.

Monday was my quiet reading time. My roommate spent the afternoon taking a long nap. I was quite proud of myself because I did what I needed to accomplish - I didn't get swayed into sleeping as well. I even wrote a couple of snail mail letters to some friends back home. I wrapped baby shower gifts for a distant relative's second baby and made a personalized greeting card as well!

Oh well, back to work....

Three days to go....
