A Carefree Friday

Knowing that I had to go in to work for mom for half the day today, I woke up early to take Lucy to the park for a walk. It was windy as hell, but I met two old couples who go for morning walks daily no matter how cold it is. Gotta hand it to 'em though, because as she and I were making our way around the park, I decided I wasn't going to do that again for a while! I was stoked that it snowed for a little while this morning. I was beginning to think that we wouldn't have any come Thanksgiving. It didn't stick, but I was sure happy to see it! After getting off from work, I took Lucy, Rusty, and Misty to the park down the street from mom's house to play. It was still cold and windy, but the view from that park is just gorgeous.




A few hours later, I had mom, dad, and Jon over for dinner. I made a pasta dish that I saw Giada De Laurentis make on the Food Network channel as well as an Apple Blueberry Pie I saw on a friend's blog. If you're interested, I'll be making a post on my cooking blog for those recipes right after this! Check it out! Here's my mommy, enjoying her share of the pasta!

Anyway, Malu's team leader, Ian, posted some pictures of the guys on his Facebook page. I was so thrilled to find one of Malu (seen here, with his interpreter) on the job as a Psy Op Specialist! He looks funny in this picture. I suspected that he was working on mouthful of sunflower seeds and it turns out I was right. Well, first he tried to tell me that he picked up a dipping habit, but he stopped when I started getting grossed out. Yeah, the guy doesn't drink or smoke so I don't know why I even started to believe him. It's nice to see him in action though. I'm so proud!

Well, that's my Friday for ya. Not much going on this weekend. I have to work for mom tomorrow and fully intend to clean out my garage. Yep, I seriously have no life :)
