Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone has a lover for the day or night, and if you don't, I hope you aren't one of the many that complains about the day. Yes, it's a commercialized, Hallmark holiday, but it's nice to have a day to spend with your loved one that doesn't revolve around an anniversary, birthday, or another special date. I love my husband every day of the week but it's nice to love him a little extra for Valentine's Day. *Stepping off my soap box now*
How beautiful was this past weekend?! It made me want to be outside all day long...and I kind of was! I was out and about on Saturday shopping for new home decor items before heading off to Couples Shower that evening. As for yesterday, I cleaned the house and did about 8 loads of laundry, then headed off to Wal-Mart (horror story!) for a few groceries and a rake! LOL, the weather inspired me to get started on yard work. I didn't technically use the rake but I did do some work on the some of my plants that were harmed by mean ol' Mr. Winter. My poor yard has suffered too. I have nothing but dead grass and leaves. I figured since the weather is about to warm up, I'll get started on making my yard green and beautiful again.
Let's move on to this horror story of grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. My gosh, it's a horrible place to shop at for groceries! I've never really like their meat or produce, but it was extra horrible yesterday. There were huge families with running and screaming children EVERYWHERE, about half of the items I wanted had to be substituted for something else due to their shelves not being stocked, and their prices were NOT cheaper than HEB. I usually shop at HEB but I wanted to buy a rake, so I figured I'd just kill two birds with one stone...huge mistake. I drive the extra 10 minutes to shop at the new HEB off 337 and 46 in New Braunfels because I feel like it's a better store with a better environment, and I've never been so right about that. Lesson learned! I'll just make two stops the next time I need two completely different items. I will avoid grocery shopping at Wal-Mart as much as possible from now on.
I head off to Houston tomorrow for work and I'm kind of excited about it. I haven't been to Houston in about two months and it's about time I head back out there for business. The good news is it's a short trip and I'll be home late Thursday afternoon, but the bad news is I'll be losing a couple of good-weather days to start working on my yard. I really want to rake up the leaves in my front and back yards (this will be an awesome workout)and get fertilizer spread along with a round of Revive before it rains this weekend. I guess I have a full day of yard work coming up on Saturday! How sad is it that I'm already looking forward to Saturday and it's only Monday? Oh, well!
Have a great Valentine's Day, everyone!
