Mat has been out of town for this week and unlike times before, he was gone the entire week not just a few days. (I will get no sympathy from Jackie E. on that one!) I was determined to do all the girlie things this week that I've been meaning to do (watch a few chick flicks, get a pedicure, go shopping, etc.) but didn't really get around to doing much of that. So, how did I fill my week without my sweetie pie? It went as follows:
Monday:
dropped Mat off in my PJ's and Lana sound asleep
wore matching "I Love DC" shirts with Lana to work out at the gym (needed to do laundry!)
Went to Walmart and thought about buying stuff to start a garden
Went home and did laundry
Watched Despereaux with Lana. Those rats are scary!
Tuesday:
Went to story time at Borders. Saw Kathy Ireland and Eric Estrada who were there doing a book signing. So random, huh?
Walked through the mall, ate a pretzel
Recycled our two small bags of bottles and got $2.30 this time. Whohoo!
Rented Marley & Me. Lana and I both cried at the end and had a discussion about dying. Nice.
Wednesday:
Hit the gym again. A trainer made a comment that I keep coming to the gym and I'm still getting bigger. After he learns I'm 6 months pregnant, it all makes sense to him.
Did the dishes I had been avoiding
Devoured my favorite magazine: Real Simple
Went to the park and it was soooo cold I had to bribe Lana to leave early
Checked out the Farmers Market and Lana had a blast on the bouncer and in the petting zoo. Bought some yummy strawberries!
Thursday:
Lounged around forever but made a good breakfast and lunch
Took a nap and missed an invitation to the park with our friends (dang it)
Lounged around some more
Ended up going to the park later that afternoon
Went to the gym real quick
Wanted to go get some fast food for dinner when Lana talked me out of it and wanted leftovers.
Played volleyball...carefully and slowly! :)
Friday:
Waited for Lana to get up (she was tired from a late night at volleyball) so we could go to her playschool.
Showed up 40min late to her school, but still had fun. She painted the cutest flower for her art project.
Thought about going to IKEA to get some stuff but Lana was being a stinker so we ended up going home (saving money).
Went to Trader Joes and ordered pizza for Lana's little friends who we're watching tonight.
Right now I'm watching my friend's 4 kids and can't wait for Mat to get home tomorrow. It turns out that at this very moment he's at the Nielsen's house playing Fifa with his buddy, Giff. Hmmm....

Fun to read what you and Miss Lana have been up to. The boys and I watched Marley and Me last week too! Luckily they fell asleep before the traumatic end and I cried alone. :) That movie, plus Kai's pleading since then has me half-convinced we should get a dog. Maybe when the kids are a little older and our yard is a little bigger...
yay! at least you're going to the gym! I want one out here! Sounds like lots of fun!
