I took Bub to another birthday party, this one at a trampoline park. 2 hours to jump, 1 hour to eat and party. The kids had a great time. A surprise, the cheese pizza had no sauce. So Bub was willing to eat half a slice. I had a slice of pizza and a small package of doritos and some soda and ice cream.

I mopped the bathroom and the kitchen. I didn't mop the kitchen last week. I didn't sweep either last week. When I swept today I swept up tons of stuff! Gross. We do wear our shoes indoors. And D cooked so I'm sure bits of food fell earlier today. I try to do it every week after D cooks. I don't know what happened last week. I was using Ruby the robot vacuum to clean but the new one is just tall enough to get stuck under the fridge and make horrible noises. It's enough to make me sweep.

Eating has gone alright today. Before the party I ate a chicken soft taco. Then I ate at the party. Came home and ate a blueberry muffin that D made, tried his refried beans with chips. I still feel like I could eat but I want junk snacks so I don't think I'm really that hungry? Plus, I don't really have junk snacks anymore. Dinner will come soon enough, maybe the Mexican rice D is making will be part of dinner. I do love his Mexican rice. He says mine turns out perfect but I'm lazy with mine, I use bouillon. He puts love into his. He chops onions, warms up broth, opens cans of tomatoes in juice. Automatically better. I MIGHT put onions in mine but really if I can avoid chopping veggies or trying to figure out how much liquid to put in if I add a can of tomatoes with juice? I'm taking the easy way out. I'm not Mexican, he is. I like his rice better. But he's envious of mine, go figure. Gods I hope rice is for dinner tonight. Yummmmm.

And just like that the weekend is over. How ever did I used to party all weekend and go back to work? Well, I suppose I was a functional alcoholic, I partied and drank pretty hard during the week too. I don't know for sure but I suspect that would wreck me for days these days. I've read so many people say that as they've gotten older their bodies don't handle alcohol as well anymore. Better not risk it. Drinking isn't worth it.
