Weeeeeekend!

Yesterday was a good day. I slept in and then was up getting the laundry going, had a broccoli and asparagus frittata with the family, and then got dressed to start on the garden. All of my perennials I'm sick of. We have a tiger lily, some yellow iris and purple iris, and OMG do we have phlox! It's purple, it only blooms at the end of August and the stalks are taller then I am. I cut all the stalks off with the shears so that they could be bagged, ripped all the stuff that was left out of the front garden, and then started digging out the weed/vegetable garden. Funnily enough, some of the "weeds" I pulled out of there were veggies I didn't even know I was growing! Imagine me reaching for weeds and then coming up with a handful of radishes the size of golf balls! Pretty funny. Before I was totally worn out I filled one and a half yard waste bags. Today to finish up that project I have to get all the perennials out of the garden and into little bags for a fundraiser at work, rip the tomato plants out of the veggie garden, open up the composter and spread all gardens with it to make the soil better.

Last night was a big night for Ryan and I. I took him to his first Sens game. It was free tickets from work.

K, here is the story about the free tickets from work. The VP's got their heads together and bought a corporate box. Then they put the rule that they can only go to work people so they are given out only one at a time. Which means no one wants them because then you are hanging out with work people and not bringing someone you actually want to spend time with. So I didn't even want to go. Didn't email that I wanted a ticket...until my boss comes and asks me to get a ticket in my name for her. I'm okay with it. So I call and get it. Apparently two of my other co-workers did the same thing so that KM and her son could go. Next thing I hear is KM forgot that she has a date planned with her hubby and doesn't want the tickets anymore. I say I'll take them and use them as a reward for The Monster getting 5 out of 5 out of this week's spelling test. We have the excuses all worked out. One of us is getting the flu, and KM remembers she has the date at the last minute. The Monster and I pack up, drive to Home Depot to park ('Cause there is no way in hell I'm paying $11 for parking!), and walk in to The Bank. I get there and my boss is no where in sight. The game starts and The Monster is enthralled for maybe 15 minutes before he loses interest. Still no sign of my boss. I get The Monster through to the start of the second period before he is done and we leave. I get to say to the entire group of work people, great, my boss and two other co-workers stood me up for team building. :D Anyway, at least I wasn't upset about leaving early as the ticket was free. And because we were in a box there was a sink so we were drinking water instead of paying $8 per drink! YAY!

Anyway, I'm off to get busy with finishing up chores before going raiding in Vanguard!

Blog ya later!
