Saturday was filled with running around and busyness. We had originally planned to get a bunch of stuff done and then have a relaxing evening at home, but that got changed when we got invited to a dinner for the Italian choir so we had to spend the day rushing to get everything done before being able to go to this dinner. It was very close to being a disaster. Thankfully though, we picked up our new mattress which is *heaven*. The only downside was that Chad and I had to carry it up 3 flights of stairs and I almost died. The bedroom is slowly coming together nicely!
Sunday was also spent running around. I had to go to the mall in the morning to get some new bathing suits for Manning but the mall didn’t open until 11 and that totally threw my schedule off. I will spare you the details of it all but again it turned into a day is madness. That seems to be the trend these days. I have the day planned out, I know exactly what needs to be done and then somehow it all goes to shit and I end up running around like a mad man. I’m so sick of it.
Sunday was also the day of the Italian Picnic our organization puts on every year. I arrived late because of all the crap I had to do, but Chad had been there since 9am setting everything up and cooking sausages. He was covered in pig fat and was so greasy but he was happy as could be. By the time I got there I was so out of it for some reason, I was just not happy. Plus certain people were being huge ass hats and it just pissed me off. I was just not feeling it that day.
After all of that I came home, packed for Manning and went to bed. I will save all the details of Manning when I upload the 300 pictures tonight. The only thing I will mention is that I burnt myself to a crisp on the first day and because of the 6 hours of cooking sausages on Sunday Chad wrecked his foot from all the standing and was an invalid.
I came into work this morning after a few days off and everything was all over the place. Thats the one thing I hate about going away, coming back to a disaster. My computer screen kicked the bucket so now I am using a ghetto 15″ screen until my new fancy wide/flat screen comes in. Its taking me a while to get into the pace of things and I only missed two friggin days!
But anyways…
The Italian Weekend pictures are Here.
