We started off Saturday actually getting to SLEEP in...if you call it that. I could only sleep until 8:00 and then my eyes were wide awake...gotta hate that! We had a soccer game in Orem for Kaylee...so we ran down and watched that. I asked Garrin if I needed a jacket and he said...nah...it's warm out. Hmmmm.....guess I should check out the weather myself next time. It started out pleasant enough..but then it RAINED on my head...and then got rather chilly. Glad nobody took a picture of me with the Esmeralda blanket (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) over my head peeking out. lol!
We had to run get groceries....I can't remember the last time we did that. Between Macey's and Costco---about $400...ouch! Of course---that means that we also have to clean out the fridge and pantry when we get home, right? At least it was Saturday so I had help carrying the groceries in and putting them away! I got 40 lbs of chicken for $1.39 a lb...so I had to rinse, trim and re-bag all that fresh chicken so I could freeze it.
Next came....hmmm....oh yes...how could I forget....picking and then canning 20 quarts of tomotoes from the garden. I know I'll appreciate those down the road. Lots of work though!
We ran to the ward party/emergency preparedness fair and stayed long enough to eat Chili and scones (it's Garrin's one time a year to eat chili since I don't like or cook it)! We also stayed just long enough to know that we need some serious help in the Emergency Preparedness department. Guess I should put that on a goal list....or something.
Came home to work on my talk...again....that seemed to be taking up my "extra" time this week. I say "extra" because I ended up working about 33-34 hours this week..so there wasn't much of that. Plus spent my "day off" at the accountant's for our car business....so I really didn't get a day off this week...but that's a whole other story...and one that I'm unhappy about...so we won't go there :)
While working on said dreaded talk...we got a call that Devin had been in a car accident. He and his friend Jamie were in Provo and a girl slammed on her brakes. Devin did too..but still ended up rear-ending her. Besides his car being pretty much totalled (or so we are guessing at this point)...he also got a ticket for improper lookout. Even though all the accidents we've been involved in that were someone else's fault never resulted in tickets....the Provo police said they are required to write one out if an accident is involved. I'm sure that'll be costly for Devin! He's pretty sore...I'm hoping that is temporary. Jamie is also hurting pretty good today--but won't go to the dr...so I hope she's ok. They were both wearing seat belts...and they are really fortunate...although it's hard to look at it that way sometimes!
Anyway---got the talk done today....yipee! I have to work again tomorrow on my day off....so I'm looking forward to boring someday...................I'll let you know when it gets here. (ps..don't hold your breath waiting for it though)
