Warning!!

Today all teachers had to go to a Professional Development (fancy word for training) at various schools throughout the district. I went to one about using a prompting guide when I am with my reading groups. Well the presenter did not talk about the book. Ugh. So I still have no idea how this book is supposed to be used. Lame! Oh well...

I got home at 4:30 and let the dog out. We lock her in the bathroom while we are at work. She had peed in two spots and pooped on her pee pad. When I was trying to flush her poop, she decided to walk through it. I had to give the dog a bath, then I was able to clean up the bathroom. Fun fun! Today we bought 101 training pads for her. It has 101 because of the 101 Dalmatians. I wonder how many pee pads they needed!?!

Not long after I finished cleaning up, Manny called saying he was headed home from work. Usually he doesn't call until 5 and he gets home by 6. So poop! I was going to make bread for dinner, but his coming home early didn't leave me enough time. When he got home, I told him the bread would be late. He said it would be dessert. Haha I made french bread!! I was testing out my yeast because I thought maybe it was dead, but nope, it is good. Yay!!!

When I was packing Manny's lunch, I put some chips in a bag. I had tried a whole chip the other day and my mouth was on fire. This time one little tiny crumb fell on the counter so I ate it. I thought a crumb wouldn't be very spicy. I was wrong. Believe the bag!!!

Like the bag says... It was "freakin' hot" and that caution tape is for real! 

I got up at 5 again today to go run. Woohoo! Only 180 more days of that. I think I can... I know my oldest sister has already placed her bets on when I will stop getting up at 5 to run. We shall see :-P Go ahead and make your bets. You won't hurt my feelings.

I hope everyone has a blessed hump day :-)

Food

Yesterday we had my parents over for dinner. Manny grilled some burgers and I cut up fruit. We went to Kroger to choose fruit earlier during the day. Manny just wanted a cantaloupe, but people who know me know about the time I ate half a watermelon. Yum! Manny let me get a watermelon :-)

We were knocking on the watermelons trying to choose a good one. I found one that had a nice deep thud only to get home and discover it wasn't any good at all. It wasn't even pink!!!! I was very disappointed. I went out to Manny who was grilling on the patio to tell him that we had bought a dud watermelon. He later came inside to see the watermelon...

Apparently there are different color watermelons! Yay! I knew it tasted like watermelon, it just didn't look right. You can see in the picture where I dug out pieces of watermelon with my finger to taste test it. Haha! I was very excited it wasn't a dud.

We had a discussion later that night about picking a good watermelon. My dad does the knocking method, but my mom picks one that looks pretty. My dad said his dad would look for bug tracks because bugs know sweet watermelons.

Also, for dinner Manny picked a cantaloupe. It was perfectly ripe!

 And we had appetizers Mexican style!

My amazing husband made half pound burgers and apparently one of them was bigger than the rest. He had his eye on it, but unknowingly, I picked it. Haha oops! Hopefully he forgets about that :-)

Dinner was great! Good food and wonderful company. Parents are awesome!
