Adam and I had a great weekend. After I got over my super hang over on Friday the weekend started great. I went out to dinner with Nicole and Emma. We had so much fun! Emma is such a little lady it is unbelievable. She is so smart and cute! She is quite a flirt too, all of the bus boys loved her. I was amazed how well she communicated with Nicole and me. Nicole and I also caught up. It was so great to spend time with her. She looks amazing! Gives me hope and inspiration to be a hot mom! Anyway our dinner at Rouge Tomate was really wonderful. Nicole had the halibut and I had the trout dish. Emma had a little bit of everything. :-) After dinner I got on the train to meet Adam while he had a bite to eat. We caught up on his trip and set the plan for the weekend.
Saturday morning I went for my first run around the hood. It was more like a power walk with a bit of running. It is really hilly in our area so my body needs to adjust. My shins are really feeling the elevation this morning. Later we went to Home Depot to buy some gardening supplies and a few plants. It was a wild experience that in all my years of Home Depot outings nothing can top this. It was the biggest cluster 'F' in the world. The traffic in the parking lot was not moving, horns were honking, I was feeling claustrophobic and sick. Honestly it was a nightmare and we must remember to never return there at 11 am on a Saturday.
Moving on... Adam has been coordinating the sale or removal of the 1990's hot tub that was once home to many groovy parties at our home. There are many 1990's relics in our home, which if working will soon be on Ebay. You will be able to bid on a smoke machine and a disco-lighting machine that are currently in the barn. I am thinking they had some pretty trippy parties! An interested person came over to take a look at the hot tub and we are hoping he will be taking it in the near future. It is a total eye sore and home to many a wildlife I fear.
After the hot tub guy left Adam and I started pulling weeds and clearing off some land for my herb garden. I have never seen so many weeds in my life, it was shocking. We cleared a patch that 5 ft by 3 ft and it took ages. There were tons of little worms and critters in the soil, not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Please comment if you know. We planted chives, basil, oregano, jalapenos, red peppers, and rocket. I am really excited for the peppers! I think we should name the herb garden, please leave suggestions in comments!
Attached are the pictures of our efforts. They usually upload our of order but I think you can figure it out. Yes I am drinking a beer in on of the pictures, it was well deserved at the point. Enjoy! Tomorrow I will discuss Sunday and post pictures of the barn before and after paint job!
