With a Side of Hope

So yesterday when I got done blogging, Mike and I went over to the pool in our neighborhood.  Stupid me decided oh, I’m not going to put on suntan lotion.  Big mistake!  I don’t know why I didn’t put lotion on.  It was very dumb of me.  Anyway,  I ended up getting pretty badly burned.  So I’m not feeling so hot today.  Well my skin feels extremely hot.  Ugh.  It hurts to be wearing normal clothes.  I would have been much more comfortable in sweats and a tank top.  I learned my lesson.  I don’t know why I didn’t put lotion on. Never again!  So we hung out there for a little while.  It was nice to lay out and relax. 

After the pool, we came home and I fell asleep for a half hour.  By the time we knew it, it was dinner time!  The entire day went by way too quickly.  I guess it’s because I didn’t really do much of anything.  Mike and I decided to grill for dinner last night.

I started off my meal with a salad with Catalina dressing.

I was really excited that my favorite hot dog roll thins were on sale at the supermarket!  They were on sale for like $1.80 something.  I can’t remember the exact number.  They are normally like almost $3.00 if not over.  So this was definitely a bargain!

We decided to grill hamburgers, a turkey hot dog for me, regular hot dogs for Mike, corn on the cob, and I roasted some brussels sprouts, string beans and made hashbrown potatoes!

Corn!

Everything came out great!  I really love how grilled food tastes.  It just brings out so much more flavor for some reason!  Oh, and I never eat my corn on the cob!  I always cut the kernels off.  Does anyone else do that?

After eating our delicious dinner, it was time to watch the Bachelorette!  Last night’s episode really annoyed me for some reason.  I feel like Ashley is acting very fake.  Sometimes it gets irritating to watch.  I am so over that Bentley storyline too.  It’s definitely put on!  I thought Ashley’s date with Mickey was so boring.  He lacked social skills.  Blah! It will be interesting to see what happens next week. 

So this morning has been rather stressful and it’s not even 8am yet!  First, I go to print out all of my work that I need to take care of and the printer isn’t working.  So I add paper and take out a paper jam that was stuck.  Still not working.  Go back to the printer and now it says it needs service!  So I email facilities and sure enough no one is here!  So that stinks that printer isn’t working.  A ton of people use that one.  Now we are stuck using a small printer that takes forever to print.  Well I went over to that one this morning and it wasn’t printing either!  Luckily, that only needed paper and then it finally printed after waiting for 10 minutes!

To top things off, I went over to the coffee machine and it brewed my cup and then started beeping and flashing that the coffee filter needs to be changed.  Well it’s a high-tech machine and no one knows how to do it except facilities.  So I felt bad that I got the last cup of coffee.  This is not shaping up to be a good morning.  I hope the rest of the day get’s better!

What did you do for Memorial Day?  Alright time to get back to work now.  Have a good day!
