father's day and the whole shebang.
we had to pay a lot of bills out of one paycheck, so we ended up a little broke this two weeks. i was at a loss for what to do for father's day. so i found a poem about a little girl following in her daddy's footsteps and printed it out on some cardstock, bought some acrylic paint to paint paige's feet, and did her footprints below the poem. i bought a frame and voila! sentimental father's day gift for under $10. i also made grilled filet mignon smothered with caramelized onions and blue cheese, garlic mashed potatoes with fresh garlic i roasted in the oven for an hour, and a salad. i have never cooked a steak to perfection but somehow i did last night.
oh, best of all... since i purchased bob's card ON father's day, there wasn't much of a selection left. somehow i managed to find a gem amongst the mess: a rocky card that, on the front, says, "you're gonna eat lightning and crap thunder." i'm not sure how it's father's day-related, but there were no good sentimental cards left and none that played wang chung, so i did what i could with what they had.
not much else going on. we bought paige a polka dot bathing suit and she's been playing on the slip & slide with sammy. it's adorable. however, she is teething worse than EVER right now and it's/she's/we're all miserable. poor little girl is getting like five teeth in at one time.
if ANYONE knows of job openings on citrus, please let me know. i am having no luck. i decide to start working but then remember where we live. i have been applying for some state jobs (health department, etc.) online since yesterday, particularly for the benefits, and maybe they'll even help pay for school. there's only a couple clerical openings right now.
well, i generally don't update you all on my boring life anymore, but i'm just that bored. so i'll end with some pictures you don't really care about to spruce it up a bit:
way to go disposable camera, getting an action shot!

the stray kitten we are going to rescue. his name is vince and the other stray cat is jules.
