Cabin fever

     Not much has been going on here.  Cameron has been sick the last few days so I have been laying low with him.  We have caught up on the movies and shows we have wanted to watch, but I think we are both getting a little bit of cabin fever.  He tried to work today, but felt too crappy to work the full day.  He says he is starting to feel better though so hopefully he is on his way to being snot free.
     The latest good news is I got the job at T-Mobile.  I start June 6th with a week of training.  I am looking forward to putting my past job experience to good use and hopefully learn more to add to it.  I love working with technology and all the changes that happen in the industry in such a short time.  There is so much positive to this job I hope everything goes smoothly and I learn what I need to quickly.  I haven't not know what I was doing at a job in over 8 years.
     Here are some pictures I took the other day before Cameron started to feel really junky.  Enjoy!

Getting out of the house

So I hear it was suppose to be one of the last nice days for awhile so I told myself I had to get out of the house.  Bonus is I found another way to get to downtown Olympia via back roads.  This isn't going to be a long post, just more of a photo post of my outing today.  Enjoy!

A little excitement with silverware

     We may not have kids, or a pet, or a house yet or really anything exciting to blog about..... but today I bring you a blog post about silverware.  You are now on the edge of your seat aren't you?  How can silverware be exciting you ask?  Well let me tell you they can be when you have husband trying to do a good deed and a wife that can be and usually is a bit klutzy.
     The first story I bring you involves ice cream, a spoon and a husband.  We hadn't had ice cream in awhile.... trying to be healthier and what not.... so we were pretty excited to sit down to some cookie dough chocolate chip chunk goodness.  In said excitement Cameron was serving up the ice cream and spoon goes in the ice cream and bends.  You think to yourself... well that wasn't that exciting.  A bent spoon?  That is all ya got?  Well a little discouraged, but still excited about having the much talked about ice cream Cameron gets another spoon (Yes we have an ice cream scooper.  Why aren't we using it?... I have no idea), anyways he gets another one, digs in to the frozen goodness and ends up flinging ice cream everywhere!  It lands on him, the counter, floor, stove, you name it.  After the laughter subsided he was finally able to wrangle the ice cream into the actual bowl without further incident and we were able to enjoy it.  Yum!






     Story number two.  This involves the klutzy wife mentioned above.  So it was a normal day.  I was doing the dishes.  You know the stuff that you can't put into the dish washer, but really wish you could and secretly dream of "forgetting" just to see if anything bad would really happen, because you feel like you wash the same thing twenty times a day?.... Well that is what I was doing.  So if I may paint you this picture... I was standing at the sink, sun streaming into the kitchen, bare foot, just finished loading up the dishes that could go in the dish washer and had hand washed the rest by hand.  So feeling good about the washing part I moved onto the drying.  I get to the steak knifes.  Cleaning knives always scare me a little.  You have the sponge and soap making things all slippy  and my imagination gets the best of me.  Anyways some how one of them jumped out of my hand and dove straight for my foot as I was drying them.  Luckily I was on high alert already since I had just finished washing the slippy knives and escaped unharmed.

Something new

     Thought that the blog could use a face lift.  I like it.  It is fun.  Now if I can get stuff done around the apartment that would be great.  But today is one of those can't make up my mind/non motivating sort of days.  I cleaned up the living room so that is one thing down.  The dishes are looking at me kind of funny like, but I am a multi-tasker so I think the laundry will get started, then the dishes, then it will be time to do a switchy-roo with the laundry and then I can have lunch after that.  I think when one stays at home so much you feel like you do the same few things everyday and it gets dull after awhile.  But dull doesn't out weigh the accomplishment of a clean and organized place so I will truck along.
     Cameron's Uncle Galen stopped by yesterday for the first time since we have been in the new place.  We talked for a few hours about this and that, gave him the million dollar tour, then decided we were all hungry.  We took Galen for his first experience at Red Robin (he was nice to treat us).  He gave it good reviews and I think he will be going back.  Other then the nice surprise visit we laid low yesterday.  Cameron needed a rest catch up day since he was feeling a little under the weather with a scratchy throat when he went to bed the night before.  The rest did him good and he is feeling much better today.
      Well I am off to make the place sparkle.
