[076] Saturday: Pre-Hurricane Weather

Saturday started out strange. After posting to wish my sister a happy birthday, I went to bed around 1AM. Only to wake up at 5AM. 

I DailyBooth'd about it.

I was confused!

Then around 7AM I refreshed my Facebook feed to see that the newest addition to our friends family arrived. If you've been keeping up with my blog for the past month, you'll know that I attended a baby shower at the end of July. At 6:34AM, August 27, Hunter was born, weighing 8lbs 1oz and measuring 22 inches long. I can't wait to meet him!

At 8AM my body finally decided it was time to go back to sleep. Four hours later I woke up to find Shawno on the couch. As I slept he went out and ran a few errands, including getting his oil changed. I wanted to go with him as I knew it would be the last outing before the storm.

I just love looking up over my monitor to see my garden owl and bamboo sitting happy on my window sill.

At 2PM I sat down to start on some bookmarks (which I plan on selling! details soon!). That quickly turned into sorting and organizing my crafting materials. I actually enjoy organizing things. :]

When I'm cooking dinner I usually prepare a meal that Shawno and I will both enjoy. Tonight he decided he was going to make something for himself and that I could make whatever I wanted. I had asparagus and zucchini that I had yet to dig into since we went shopping. With the coming storm and the possibility of a power outage, I decided it was the perfect night to go all out at dinner.

At 10PM I fired up some Rock Band 3. I've been all about this game lately. I'm currently trying to get myself out of "medium" on both guitar and bass. I always panic when I see that pesky orange button on my screen and I have one heck of a time trying to reach it. I get too comfy with my index finger on green and forget that I can just slide down to push orange with my pinky.

Around midnight I was very much in need of a snack. This juicy mango was calling my name.

Mmm mango.
