Okay. So, yes, I went to the beach with some friends last Monday and it was a blast. I have never taken Lily and we had a great time. Matt's sons are SOOOO cute, and Elaina watched Lily for me here and there so I could just swim out into the ocean and be all alone for a few minutes. I really need a night out. I need to spend a few minutes without Lily attached to me. I guess there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. As I said, I have no problem being a stay at home mom except there is really no break to the monotony. And no one to watch the baby for a bit while I just go be with myself. I am the child care.

Anyway, I digress. Matt came all prepared (as I like to do) with sandwiches and snacks and drinks. I love a good chicken salad. Then, after we left he showed me one of the stores he is in charge of and it was SOOOO cool. I kind of wished I lived in Hampton Roads just so I could go to this place and hang out. So, on Wednesday when I picked Trevor up, I texted Matthew to see if he was working and he was, so we rode out there. He gave Trev the grand tour and then treated us to lunch AND free merchandise. I've been wearing the hoodie he gave us for, like three days straight now. Trevor asked me if I liked it. It's miiiiine. Ha.

Then, we went to dinner Wednesday evening at Maggiano's. I love family style and Trevor gets half off. I had the mussels and he had some like, fried mozzarella plank. Then we had the chopped salad and the spinach salad. By then we were full. Everything is all you can eat and we each had two portions of the appetizer and a large portion of salad. We got our pasta and entree course boxed to go and then we skipped to desert. I had creme brulee (YUM) and Trevor ordered this toasted pound cake with chocolate ganache, vanilla ice cream, and carmelized bananas. It was SO good, and I HATE pound cake. Afterwards, we took Lily to the play area in the mall. Trevor was SUPER over protective at first worried about the other kids tripping over her or hurting her or something. After a while, he loosened up. HE'S the one that has brought up preschool and day care so much and I'm, like, you're freaking out about other kids while you are PRESENT. It's time to realize she is getting older, and sometimes she's going to get hurt. Kids fall down. The run into things and other kids. She'll be tough ;) Overall, it was a really nice day, and I got to spend it with Trevor and Lily and that was really great.

Yesterday was a day full of nothing. Trevor took the car for work all day, so Lily and I sat around and well, sat around. I did walk to Hardee's later in the day to share some cheddar fries with Lily and get some exercise. See, if you want to eat fatty foods like bacon cheddar fries, you have to walk your fat ass there to get them, so at least you can say you walked it off.

Today has also been a day full of nothing. Kelly came over around five which pissed me off because Lily was sleeping and Dakota barked as he always does. He has one of those small dog barks so it always wakes her up. She was like, "Well, I called your house and your cell" and I was all "Uhhh, yeah, I didn't answer because I didn't want to be disturbed". I was also trying to nap since I really have been feeling kind of burnt out lately. Anyway, it was okay in the end... we had fun hanging out. Her boyfriend went to culinary school and he brought me all sorts of awesome stuff like knives, and slicer, and spoons and spatulas, and it was AWESOME. I mean, what a thoughtful guy. AND, I found out he is a Redskins fan!! Kelly gets all the good catches. HAHAHA. I am totally kidding, I love my husband, but finally Kelly is with a dude that isn't a total douche. They are going to Bar Louie, and I wish Trevor was home so I could go, too. Actually, we can't afford for me to go, so oh well.

Tomorrow night we are going to a pig roast for my friend Katie who just got married.
Now, THAT is some fun! I will probably see lots of old friends from Friday's and Lily will get to swim and I love a good roasted pig.

I guess that's all. Don't get jealous of my super adventurous exciting life.
