Back to work
Everybody’s favorite time is here! Monday morning!! *fail*
I didn’t sleep at all last night. I cleaned all day, did all the laundry and vaccuumed and changed the sheets. I took a nice cold shower (I’m weird in the fact that I like cold showers…) and hopped into bed at about 8. I didn’t fall asleep until at least 4 hours later. Bah. I’m still so sleepy!
And I screwed up and stopped for breakfast this morning instead of relying on my low cal staples in the drawer here. I got some scrambled eggs and potatoes and 2 flour tortillas. And 2 strips of bacon. Ick. I didn’t even finish it all, but I feel soooo gross right now…I could just puke. I’ve chugged 2 bottles of water just to get the ick factor to go away.
We have a real estate guy coming to the house tonight to tell us our options for what to do with the homestead when we go to espana. It’d be awesome to rent it out so someone else can pay the note, but then we’d still have to pay for storage and deal with the creeps when we get back after strangers had been living in the house. I think we should just let it sit there. Our parents can check on it. Selling doesn’t seem likely, because we may not get much for it…IDK.
I am planning on making tilapia, corn on the cob (fresh) and baby potatoes for dinner tonight. I’m not sure of the preparation, so I’ll have to look something up. Maybe a marinade, but I don’t really want to stop at the store…I guess I have to though, because I don’t have any lemons or anything. I’ll post the recipe here and take a pic if it’s good.
Today’s to do list:
- Find recipe for dinner marinade
- Go tanning
- Stop at grocery store
- Dinner
- Clean up
- Talk to realator
And just because this is funny:
