Ahhh Vacation!

Brian and I are on vacation until 9.10.12! It is the first time either of us has been on vacation for so long! It is only Sunday so we do not feel like we are on vacation but come Tuesday it will start to sink in.

So what are our plans for the week?

Yesterday, Saturday, we hung blinds in the garage to save the epoxy and cool the garage which hopefully help lower the electric bill. We also made ribs, tea (which has been finished), went to home depot to get the blinds but also the paint we need for the bedroom, lowes to get a new filter for the fridge and the grocery store.

Today, Sunday, is a regularly planned Sunday. Brian plays his game all day while I watch tv and work on crafts. Today for lunch I am making Teriyaki pork tenderloin in the crock pot. I got this recipe and 4 others from a website. In one hour prep time you make 5 meals, freeze them and cook them frozen the day you want to eat it. So far every recipe has been good and very versatile, cheap and easy!

Tomorrow, Monday, we haven't really planned anything. Dishes, clean the bathroom and the linoleum and some organization.

Tuesday, 9.4.12, Mock Turkey Day with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are coming up and Brian and I are making Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and mouse. Mom and Dad are bringing salad and a vegetable. We still have the turkey from last turkey day so we are eating it now so I can have practice when Thanksgiving comes around.

Wednesday, 9.5.12, Brian and I both have dentist appointments and I have an ENT appointment. After that we are going to vacuum the carpeting and sweep the tile/wood floors. We are also going to move furniture around in preparation for Thursday.

Thursday, 9.6.12, we are getting the carpet, tile, wood floors, sofa, love seat, and the big chair cleaned professionally. We have built the money into our budget as part of being homeowners. We figure if we keep them cleaned and taken care of we wont have to replace them as soon as the house ages. We have also had so many construction workers in and out of the house and the house is newly built so we still have the construction dust in the carpet left over from the house being built. No matter how much I vacuum I wont feel the house is free from construction until we have professionals come in to get all that gook out. After the carpet/tile/wood/furniture gets cleaned Brian and I are going to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch and eating all you can eat wings. They have all you can eat wings every weekday for lunch and Brian and I have always wanted to do it but we have always been working. After lunch it is Charleston bound! They are doing restaurant week and hopefully Thursday we will be able to get a reservation some where.

Friday, 9.7.12, hang out with Mom and Dad in Charleston. Help Mom paint, play with the puppies, just hang out

Saturday, 9.8.12, Leave Charleston after lunch sometime, go grocery shopping and head home :(

Sunday, 9.9.12, Regular planned Sunday as we get ready to go back to work on Monday
