Perfect Timing

I learned today that we’d be getting our hours cut at work for the summer. I can’t say I’m surprised. We were told we could leave at 2pm today. I was a little bummed; but it’s only 2 hours less than I was already doing and leaving at 2pm on Friday? Heck yes, I’ll take it!

The morning went by fast, Michelle and I talked about our eating/exercises (which I’ve done none of since we started again), I covered for Rosie and then I met my love for lunch at Palenque Chicken, ’cause I’m awesome and had a coupon.

I had no idea what I’d be having for lunch; I wanted something not so fattening. I ended up getting a quesadilla anyway, since I felt rushed and panicked.

MMA Rudy was eating there, too. Jorge arrived and we invited Rudy over to sit with us and then 2 of Jorge’s co-workers got there. We joked and laughed. I hope they don’t think I’m weird because my sense of humor is much like Jorge’s and sometimes not so lady-like .

Rudy got his food and I was surprised and quite jealous when I saw grilled chicken and steamed veggies on his plate. Grr. I wish I’d known about that!! Now I know what to order for next time.

I got back to work and hung around 30 more minutes till I had to leave. I put gas in the van, since we’re going to Brownsville tomorrow to watch the fight and it’ll save us some time :). I can’t wait!

I got home and TOTALLY planned to just sit and blog and chit-chat on the Ol’ School Bloggers Facebook group. Can I just say how awesome that place and those people are!? Who would have thought we’d all get to reunite and catch up on each other’s lives! There are a few people whose domain names I remember and I’m sure I read a few but never really got to connect with the owner since I was sorta shy at the time, but it’s great to be able to now! Ah, technology. I want to hug you .

Jorge has been quite patient. I don’t think he truly “gets” the blogging thing, though he knows I’ve done it forever now. But when I have some free time I’m glued to my phone or computer, reading everyone’s comments on the group and attempting to finish up my queued blog entries and he just smiles and reads over my shoulder sometimes as we’re sitting down together watching TV. Well, I’m sort of watching, heh.

Of course, when I got home, I couldn’t JUST sit and play on my computer or else I’d feel guilty. I dunno. I’m weird like that. So I went into the laundry room and folded/hung/and put away all of this past Sunday’s clean laundry. Jorge is amazing and most of the time he does laundry all on his own, he just needs help sorting. It’s wonderful to have a partner that HELPS, you know? I was used to doing EVERYTHING while someone sat on his ass drinking a beer .

But anyway!

I swept up a bit, threw out the bathroom trash bags and then, finally, sat to blog. I started uploading more pics to Flickr, manually, because Javi’s friend took my charger when they came to visit, grrr! I have enough photos up to continue blogging now, though.

I heard some light thunder rumbling outside and checked the window. It had started to rain! I grabbed my laptop, a chair and sat in the porch. I love this porch. I love our creepy looking mesquite trees, the unruly bamboo trees, the birds chirping and the woodpeckers pecking for just a second before they fly off.

I wish I could have gotten a better photo . I would have gotten a photo of the trees, but the neighbor’s multi-colored house behind us is a little appalling, not to be mean. One of these days we’ll install an 8ft fence, heh.

So there. A blog entry! I real time! The rain stopped just a bit ago and the mosquitoes must have noticed because they’re swarming me . I think I’m going to go inside and attempt to finish up an old blog entry and cook something afterwards.

[edit 9:06pm] I never got around to updating the old blog entry, but talked to my kiddos (they’re with Mario till next Wednesday; we agreed on doing the weekly thing instead of the monthly. That would have killed me!).

Oh, and I did cook something!

Honey chipotle glazed pork tenderloin with sauteed asparagus & bacon. This meal, per plate, cost about $4! This plate’s Jorge’s. Mine was more petite .

Jorge and I wanted to go out somewhere, but he’s tired so we decided to stay in. He’s watching Tron and I’m about to go remove my contacts ’cause they’re bothering me. Then I might just open up one of those pre-made Margaritas I have in the freezer (depending on what Myfitnesspal reports ) and catch up on a few entries. I could get on the treadmill now that I have some free time, but I really want to catch up!!

[edit 10:20pm] Jorge is asleep, and I’m bored, can you tell? Heh.

So I checked my log for today and these are my results:

So. I could have that Margarita and go over my sugar intake LIKEWOAH. Or, I just don’t have it and let the program scold me. Decisions, decisions.

And just as I suspected, I keep reading other blogs and never started on my old ones LOL.

…Jorge and I got some snacks: popcorn and Tostitos cheese and tea. As we’re walking through the hallway to our bedroom he says, “What does this Friday remind you of?” I say, “All the other days we’ve had snacks while we watch TV?” He laughs and says, “John’s apartment!” Awww!! He remembered! Good times <3.
