GREAT weekend!
Friday was pretty rough. I was still obviously sick, and I did everything I could to make it through the day. Then I had Tracy's session which is QUITE energetic. Made it through that as well... after I had a quick shower and got cleaned up to go out for dinner. We went to Tita's for mexican. It was very yummy, but I'm afraid some of the taste was wasted as I was stuffed and couldn't smell much. After we stopped in at Walmart to see about eucalyptus bath oils and "deep cold" that Mac was told about at his mom's the other day. I also found an AWESOME pair of soft leopard print pj's trimmed in pink. I pretty much hopped in the bath and put on the pj's and didn't get out of them for 2 days!
Saturday I did my usual grocery shopping in the morning. I left early and had to kill some time between groceries and when I knew the vet opened (for cat food) so I went for a drive as I took the camera and tripod. I wanted to go to Stokum Falls, but the water levels were SO high, they went into the forest, so no photos. Once I got home, I think I donned my pj's again and didn't get out of them ALL day! Well... I did go out about 430 as I wanted to go to the "without sugar shop" as I felt like something to drink that WASN'T water (or alcohol)... unfortunately, when we got there, they were closed... but she was still there and she let me in! Made my day! We mostly watched movies all day... still felt like CRAP, so later in the evening, I WILLED myself to get better! Went to bed and meditated- focusing on purging my body of the illness. I slept well and actually woke up feeling MUCH better!
Sunday was a GREAT day! In the morning I decided we should pick a recipe or two and cook a nice meal! Going through my allrecipes account, I found 3 recipes- tandoori chicken, butter chickpeas (which had NO butter!) , naan, and my scratch chai tea. Mac also suggested a "picnic", so off I went again, in the blistery, windy, rainy day to the grocery store to get everything we needed. When I got home, I prepared the picnic... wine, cheese, crackers, meat, pickles, oil & vinegar, foccacia bread and strawberries... VERY yummy! Then I started baking... the tofu chocolate cake to start, then the meal... only to realize the naan would take 3 HOURS to finish and I realized this about 430! So... off to the store AGAIN in the blustery, windy, rainy day to go buy naan!!! The butter chickpea was AMAZING! Mac said the tandoori chicken was good, but VERY spicy! Everything was amazing! The kitchen is immaculate- mostly from Mac on the Saturday cleaning, but I continued today as I was cooking.
We also discussed my NEXT interview... I've made a further cut for more interviews and testing! WOW! Very thorough! So Tuesday afternoon is my interview and test!!! I'm really hoping I get this as Raf has told me I'm "not qualified" for Tara's position though the halp wanted add indicates I AM qualified! I don't think it closes for another week or so, so I should know if I got the NIEFS job... and if not, I'll talk to him again.
Mac also put an add on Craigslist for models wanted and has had a contact. We're throwing ideas around and looking at George Hurrell's photos and have more AWESOME inspirational ideas! If it wasn't 9pm (and the fact I have a nose that would make Rudolph jealous) I'm sure we'd be down there taking pics! But as it is, it's late and I REALLY want to start working out in the mornings again!
So... 'NITE!!!
