Delayed Reaction

I intended to post this on Monday, but never did. So now that it's almost the next weekend I suppose it's time.
Matt and I had a very good & productive weekend! Friday night we went to Lowe's to get weed (read: evil poison plant) killer. My backyard is a war zone that I cannot enter.


Poison!!
Anyway! While at Lowe's I decided to be Betty Homemaker and bought some potting soil, pots, and plants - basil, rosemary, and patio tomatoes. I planted them and watered them and talked sweetly to them. Now I hope they don't die.


Saturday I got up and "ran." I wouldn't go so far as to call that successful. But I did leave the house in running attire.
Also Saturday I FINALLY painted the backs of my book shelves. I was seriously talking about before we moved. Since they were completed I could unpack all of the book boxes and set up that display in my bedroom. I kind of love it!


Saturday night Sean, Deni, and Cala came over for steaks, roasted vegetable orzo, dill pickle french fries, and homemade snickers. Yes - it was a very Pinterest meal.


Deni also brought some of the best brioche rolls ever from Fresh. We are a little obsessed with them. So is Cala.


And just because I know you want to see a few more of that bundle of cuteness...


Uncle Matt getting some love!


Giving handouts to her favorite furry cousin.


And this was from Tuesday, but I couldn't deprive anyone of this fabulous-ness!!

And now it's about time for another weekend!!

It all started with a big bang.

Have you ever noticed that tv sitcoms are NEVER as funny when you're explaining them to someone or having them explained to you? I am guilty of being the deliverer of the unfunny and this morning was the innocent bystanding victim. The 4 other people in my office are loud and unconcerned about disturbing each other. Or me. I just heard one tell a short snippet from a Big Bang rerun last night. I know that had I seen the show I would undoubtedly laugh aloud. But no. Not even an inner chuckle. It's just not the same taken out of context and spoken by anyone other than Sheldon.
As an aside - I am slightly obsessed with Big Bang. Really - who has seen the show and can honestly say they don't love it? I would wager to guess those people love the devil.
