Jam-Packed weekend

Well, last weekend, I didn't do much of anything... but this weekend, I'm pretty much busy every minute.

Friday night, I went out with a friend to Longhorn for some desert... have you had the Stampede??? OMG! Delicious! We shared, as it's basically HUGE... yummy.

This morning, Ivan and I went grocery shopping... a very routine thing for us to do... Early enough not to annoy Ivan with crowds and just a nice way to get out and spend time together. Our cupboards were pretty bare, so we definitely stocked up on lots of basics and loads of fruit an veggies. I'll be doing alot of cutting/storing/cooking tomorrow. Then, I went out to the movies with a friend from work... and we saw Julie and Julia... I've been sooooo eager to see this movie and loved it... I will definitely buy it when it comes out on DVD... And when that happens, I'll watch it immediately, too... AGAIN! :-) See it, if you haven't yet... I had to run to my friend, Meredith's house for some AVON books...

Oh yeah, I started selling AVON last weekend... so my first order will be submitted this week. Sooo, if any of you would like to purchase anything from me (free shipping often applies), please feel free to check out my AVON website... I'd love the orders, obviously. http://msmith4033.avonrepresentative.com/

Okay, back to my day... had to pick up books for upcoming sales... hope I can make enough to have fun! Then I can focus on paying my bills with my paycheck! LOL

Oh yeah, forgot that I checked out this new store (opened Wednesday) called Maines Source which is basically a grocery/restaurant supply store... got some great deals and will definitely be going back often! The aisle with the kitchen stuff had me drooling... Who knows, maybe after watching the Julie/Julia movie, I may be more inspired to cook with the right tools!

Drove Ivan to work tonight, too... as we are going to breakfast up in Carbondale with some friends of ours...

Soooo, then tomorrow's plan is, get up at an UNGODLY early hour... shower, go pick up Ivan, go out to breakfast, fly back home to meet Bob (Ivan's brother) on Skype for a video chat. Bob is in Spain at the moment in his 2nd home, which we've only heard about... so with the power of the internet and two webcams, we just might be able to view a bit of where he lives! I'm soooo excited.

Then, at 11, I've ordered some homemade chile verde tamales at Chicano's Restaurant on Prospect Ave in South Side Scranton and will be picking them up... we are going to freeze them and have from time to time. Yum! The taste takes me back to my roots.... growing up in Southern California, you get homemade tamales alot... and these are my first since I've moved to the East Coast (about 13 years ago)... crazy! and GOOD!

Then, tomorrow, I will be heading to Mt. Top for a concert with a friend from work (it's been alot of UPSers this weekend) LOL The show is Caitlin and Will from Can You Duet, last year on the CMT station... I'm not super familiar with them, but for $5, I thought, why not? I'd love to get out for a bit and hear some great country music. I think there is a biker ride or event for charity that is taking place at the same time... we'll see about that and I'll shoot pics!

Then, a few AVON calls for orders tomorrow night... then bed and a full work week! Not as much fun as the fun I am having this weekend!
