I’m going to enjoy my free time today, because for the last few days I’ve been super busy, and it will continue for the next month!

On Friday night, Jess, Rob, and the baby came over for dinner. I did all the cooking before they got here, so when they arrived we could just sit down and eat, and then we talked for a while, and then they had to go home because baby was getting tired. We had baked ziti, salad, garlic bread, and brownies. While I was taking the ziti out of the oven, I touched the top heating elemant with my pot holder and kind of singed it. No problem, I’ve done that before. But while we were sitting there eating, I smelled something burning. I got up, and the pot holder I thought I had just singed was actually slowly burning, plus now it was burning the other pot holder it was sitting on, and they were both smoking! I quickly ran both under water, but they weren’t salvageable – both had holes burned through them! (Good thing we were sitting in the kitchen, so I noticed the smell – otherwise that could have been really bad!)

Lina and Erika came out on Saturday and we went to Ikea and then lunch in Plymouth Meeting. Somehow, I ended up buying more than super-shopper Lina! But it was all things I needed: pants hangers, new pot holders (haha), a cutting board… Oh, and they now have this little half-shelf that fits in the Billy bookcase and is the perfect size for holding CDs! I am excited to set mine up, I actually keep my CDs on my Billy bookcase and was recently thinking that I needed a new storage solution because I’m running out of room.

Today I went out shopping for an outfit to wear to an upcoming wedding, my weekly food shopping, and some other things. I was gone for a couple hours, went to four stores, and amazingly got everything on my list. For the wedding outfit, I have two potential dresses (and two potential pairs of shoes, but that will come down to comfort). I’ll show GG later and see what he thinks…

Coming up this month: Two big projects at work; two doctor’s appointments; rehearsal dinner; wedding; a middle school musical; a two-day, one-night business trip; overnight spa trip; concert; and Easter trip!
