Day 713 – Dirty Toes

Today I went for a run with Kristi…love running with her (hate it too…because she pushes me….but it’s good!)…anyways…my five fingers were all kinds of dirty from hiking in Lake Placid…so when I got home, my poor feeties were muddy…so I washed my feet…just my feet….I’m really weird about having clean feet…take me camping and no shower for a week…I’m fine as long as you let me wash my feet. AFTER I washed them, I look down and still, mud in my toe nails! I think I’ve had mud in my toe nails since the Warrior Dash. Yea…that was a month ago…but I guess I have been doing lots of things that make my feet muddy…anyways, I had to share….

But, if you’re not a feet person….I snapped this one of me!

Day 712 – Cleaning the Apartment

After yesterday’s insanity of searching for hours for paperwork…I snapped. I couldn’t take the mess of our paperwork and bedroom any more. So, I tore everything off shelves. Played two movies on Netflix. Here are a few befores. I’m very much a “pull everything out, put it in a pile, and deal with it” kind of cleaner…..

I got so excited to finish before Bret got home from work that this happened……

And after! (I made Bret stand in the other room while taking these!)

Day 711 – Spoils at the Grocery Store

So, today was day 1 of back to work at the day job and day 1 of being back to our apartment. Ah, I missed home! I get to sleep in my OWN bed tonight! Can’t wait!

One of the things that we came home to was a mess with some paperwork…and a mix up…so, I had to find paperwork to help us fix things. I spent a good hour looking through stacks and stacks and stacks of paper. I’m pretty OCD about a LOT of things…but this just kept getting pushed to the bottom of the pile. Anyways…after looking and finding about half of what I needed, I made a phone call to fix what was mixed up…or at least figure out what we needed to do. After 5 calls and being on hold…I put my number in for a call back from the company…which never came….and I realized that it hadn’t come through after the office had closed…at this point it was 8:00 and I hadn’t eaten any food since lunch (8 and a half hours earlier!)….since we had just gotten home yesterday and tonight was really the first night back…we had VERY little food….so…I did what they tell you not to do….I went shopping when I was hungry….and not only that, starving. I could have passed out, I’m not going to lie. : )

I was going to make the trip to Wal-Mart…because they have most of what we need and it’s cheaper…well…tonight I didn’t feel like dealing with waiting in line (which always happens to me at Wal-Mart)….at the last minute, I decided to go to Food Lion….I’m so glad I did! I spent a little more than I planned….but I got great deals!

Here are my spoils!

About 1/3 was organic….which is very important to Bret and I…it’s hard to do sometimes because of the price…but we do try!

I also got a few presents for my hubby!

The best present was Tiger Sauce…which is something we thought was only sold in California (where Bret is from…in case you didn’t know…) I found it here at Food Lion about a year ago…and kept forgetting to get him a new jar. He was a happy camper when he got home from work!
