random update.
it's my 1 out of 4 off. i've been working wed, thurs & fri and off the rest of the week. having the 4 days off in a row is good. i'm keeping my schedule that way for now. just catching up on sleep today. shaun and i got a supersac-lovesac for our living room, and we bought a king size bed 2 weeks ago. those are our favorite spots to relax and watch tv on. a king size bed makes a big difference, so much more room (especially with shaun being 6'3")!
i'll be shopping for barstools for the kitchen counter, and buying a matching dresser for our bedroom set...and after that, that's it! no more furniture shopping for now. just little decors here and there if i bump into them.
i've been experimenting in the kitchen. cooking whatever comes to mind on days off. last week i baked hot wings with 3 kinds of sauces: spicy garlic, regular hot tabasco sauce & teriyaki. shaun LOVES spicy foods, so i tend to sway towards that direction. and i also made chicken stew. it all turned out well! i'm still thinking about what to make this week...
i just bought a chocolate fountain fondue set. i haven't tried it out yet. but i'm excited to use it! i wanna try it for jessica's shower. i'm thinking of having cheesecake bites, strawberries, pretzels, cookies, pound cake bites....i'm not sure about what type of chocolate to buy for it, i'll have to research.
that's pretty much how our life is right now. we haven't been going out, most of our money spent goes towards the house. just spending time together on our days off with maslow, fixing up the house and trying new things to cook.
i have a lot of free time on my hands (just trying to enjoy it while i can)...but i know change is coming soon, forever! i've been reading baby 411 books, what to expect when you're expecting, and jess and i (w the hubbies) will be doing childbirth classes in 2 weeks. shaun's been busy with work, school and doing his observational hours for physical therapy. all i have on my plate is just work 3 days a week. so i do more of the house work when i'm off, but shaun helps out a lot also.
anyway, off to do some laundry & dishes. ciao!
