The Past 6 Hours

This weekend has turned into complete and utter chaos! First off I wasn't suppose to be working Saturday, because I have a baby shower I am hosting. Well they really needed someone and I couldn't say no, so I told them I could work around 6pm. That was before we found out that my husband is leaving Sunday for work. He works the summers for the Alaska Railroad, and so he is gone most if not all of the summer, May-October. I told him since there is not work next week really that I would go with him. So on top of working this weekend, getting things done for the baby shower, I know am running around the house and town like a chicken with my head chopped off! Our house is a mess (sorry for that Mara), there is work stuff thrown every where and the kitchen.... well that’s another story in and of itself.


Leaving Sunday- means for the next week I don't get to shower or use clean bathrooms (they are shared with at least 20 other men, who only clean then why they are told too.. if that ) And we both sleep on a twin size mattress. O the things you do for love. I know that the hubs really loves when I go up to see him because I will make his lunches for him and good dinners. The poor man lives off of microwave food all summer, so when I come up I try to make him something half way eatable. I hope to get a lot of running/jogging/walking in while I am up there... I just have to be careful, because spring time means the hungry bears come out. So next week I might be not around much, or at all. Because I don't think the coffee shops in Denali National Park are even opened yet, and that’s my only internet access place that I know of. But I will post tons of photos when I get back.

Baby Shower Prep- I am hosting my cousin's baby shower tomorrow at my mother-in-laws house. I have slowly been doing things all week for it, but today when I got home I got down and dirty in the kitchen and I made the following. Chicken Salad, Asparagus-Blueberry Salad with a honey mustard dressing, something else that I can't think of, and sugar-free orange cupcakes. While doing all that I found time to do laundry for the hubs and hang out with Mara. I am so beat though now! The cupcakes were a little on the funky side, they taste great but they stuck to the cupcake thingies...whatever they are called. But whatever I will not waste them.

I have not worked out much at all this week, BOOO. Maybe tonight after dinner and a TV show I will make myself get off my ass even though I could fall asleep right now, and go for a jog outside. Since it is light now till 10ish! Yay! Okay I need to go get myself something to eat and go sit down in the living room, the office is a mess too and its stressing me out!
