caleb slept over at his grandparent's house for the second time last night. it sure is nice to not have to put that guy to bed once in a while.
right now he's watching super why and i'm quite sure that he needs a nap, but it's already 3:30p. it's either going to be a nap now and a hard bedtime, or no nap now and intense crappy attitude and meltdowns in a couple hours.
since we only had brynbryn today and dave wanted to watch football, we headed out to target, longs and times to get everything out of the way. shopping with just one baby is soooo easy!!!!! side note about shopping...don't know who was the genius who designed the shopping carts at costco, but i LOVE the double seating. however, now that they've changed their carts, i can no longer push the kids because the cart is so high that with the kids in it, i can't see over them anymore.
i've been trying to be better about meal-planning for the week, but i still have a hard time gauging what will be enough to give us leftovers for lunch the next day and/or for dinner the following night. last week we had shrimp/broc alfredo, fresh corned beef, pork ribs, and blue cheese meatloaf. two of the four were cooked in the crockpot, which i'm trying to make more use of. this week i have planned chicken and sausage gumbo, spinach pasta bake, chicken pad thai, and chicken cutlet. the gumbo is cooking in the crockpot now, but we have leftovers for tonight so we'll have it tomorrow.
i busted out all my new crafting stuff today for a little while but had absolutely no creativity and made some hideously crappy little notecards so i put everything away. i need to go look on some sites to get some ideas of how to use my new stuffs.
i finally, after months of wanting to, bought myself a starbucks double-wall insulated cup. i have admired it from afar for a long time, and even bought a few for gifts for peeps, but couldn't bring myself to buy one for me. but friday night, after looking longingly at someone else's cup, i asked dave if i could buy one for myself. lol. simple pleasures.

**Lucky, lucky, lucky! on the Starbucks cup. I've been looking for one and can't find one. I have my cash tips save just in case I find one but so far i haven't had any luck. I told Todd if he ever sees one to buy it and give it to me for my birthday, but knowing Todd he never pays attention to anything so I'm out of luck!
