Our Saturday was pretty eventful. First thing this morning we had the termite inspection. The dude was here less than five minutes before he declared us 'clear'. Then Matt, Maddy and I went out to Lowes to look at lighting for the new house. We also took a few things back, too. We weren't there very long because I had my pedicure at 12 in Fairfax City so we stopped to Costco to get gas and then headed back home.
I went to my pedicure and had the prettiest polish put on! I was telling Matt that to me it looked just like Dorthy's ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz! I LOVE it. I loved it so much I wanted to definitely buy it! I noticed about an hour after my pedicure I actually messed up my big toe which was all the more incentive to go out and get it. I had no idea of the name though.
During Maddy's nap I made a coffee drink and went over to the neighbors to cat sit. I took a magazine with me. One of the cats is such a lap cat! I sat down and he jumped right into my lap! He didn't like it when I read magazines though and played with/gnawed the edge of the pages. The other is a bit stand-offish, but still friendly and a bit curious.
After Maddy's nap we went to Next Day Blinds to get some pricing on the window coverings we want for the main floor of the house and the master bedroom. Then we came home and Matt got online and found them for 1/2 the cost. However, Next day blinds matches prices as long as you print off the quotes so we're going to take it in. Maddy was pretty patient while we were there (in fact two other girls were there too and she loved playing with them even though they are older). Except she raided the candy stash and gave one to each girl. Of course they went to their mom with it to make sure it was ok they had it and she didn't mind, but I told Maddy that she wasn't allowed to just raid any candy stash she found much less give some to others when they need to ask their mom first! HA! But we went to the park afterward since she was so patient.
After the park, dinner was a BUST. I made frozen premade turkey burgers that just need to be cooked on the stove and I didn't cook them long enough. But we had already doctored them up with sauces so they really couldn't be microwaved more. Matt didn't want them anyway so they just went into the trash. Instead we had microwaved hot dogs and vegetables. Ooops!
After bath and prepping Maddy for bed Matt sent me out to Ulta to pick up the nail polish I wanted. Wouldn't you know it, it was called Ruby Pumps! HA! I also bought a three pack on major sale that will be fun toe nail polish colors for this summer. I only paint my toes bright colors since the color actually lasts pretty well. My finger nails are just a sheer opal since they chip so easily. They are long right now though! I'm pretty impressed they've stayed so nice even through the packing!
I also stopped at BJs and picked up three bulk boxes of the containers of the wet cat food we feed the cats. I wanted to get enough since during the move I don't want to run out and have to go get more. I want to have stocks of what we will need for sure.
Speaking of the cats, the insulin is working well for Joe. In fact, it's become second nature to give him his food and shot. We feed both cats twice a day at 7 am. I feed Joe a can and a half and Ruthie gets her own can. We give Joe his food in the bathroom with the door closed otherwise he goes for Ruthie's too. After Ruthie is done eating we put her wet/dry food away and go in and give Joe his shot and let him out. The only issue is that by about 6 am he is an annoying pain in the butt! He's constantly under foot in the kitchen waiting for food and mewing. He tries to crawl in the fridge when the door is open to find his food. Ruthie's the bad one in the morning. She will jump all over me about 5:45-6 to wake me up. But anyway, Joe doesn't fuss about the shot and he seems to be responding to the insulin really well. He's definitely not peeing as much and drinking as much. Plus, he's gained back a lot of weight (I'm sure the vet would say too much). So that's going well and I'm glad. After all, he is so good to Maddy.
Ok, well, it's bedtime for me soon. Matt was up with Maddy this morning so tomorrow is his morning to sleep in. Maddy was up early this morning at 5:30 but we put her back to bed after about three minutes or rocking saying that anything before six is too early. She slept until 6:40. WHEW! I think we're also expecting another storm tonight, too so who knows if she'll wake up from that!
Have a great weekend all. Tomorrow we MUST go to church! It's been forever!
