Busy Bee Part Two

I didn't get to tidy everything up until Saturday, while Mike was at work. Friday night we had Lauren and Mike over for supper and then played 80's Trivial Pursuit. We sucked! That one's tough! Saturday night we played Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit, so it was quite a trivial weekend. Two other couples came out for Saturday night, and we ate snacks and played games. It was a nice alternative to going out to the bar!!!

Sunday Mike and I were going to go for a hike. We found another waterfall, but unfortunately the trail was only 400 meters long, and we were a bit disappointed. We decided to go out to the parents' place instead and maybe hike around there (they do have 50 acres after all!). Mike wanted to get his pacer up and running too, so off we went. Four hours later, Mike was still cleaning the bloody car! I couldn't believe it! I spent the time chatting with Mike's mom in front of the fire while the girls napped. When Mike finally finished, there was just enough daylight left to wander up to the back of their property. The trails through their property are pretty basic, a few ruts here or there from the ATV's, mostly swampland with some stands of trees. It was interesting to see, with no development. Apparently people hunt deer out there; we found a few shell casings on the ground.

It got dark just as we walked back up the driveway, and so we called it a night and headed home to find some supper. We were feeling lazy, so we had the wonderful bar staff make us food. It was quite delicious. Mike rented us a couple movies, and we relaxed on the couch to watch Spider Man 3.

Monday I got stuff ready for the dinner party, and cleaned up the apartment a bit. Mike cleaned his car after work (he's a clean freak when it comes to the pacer), and we watched Reign Over Me, which was actually quite good. Yesterday was the day of the dinner party! We had Mike's friends Chris and Abby over, and I cooked Lemon Chicken Risotto, which turned out wonderfully, and everyone liked it (or so they said at least!). Mike fixed the salad, and I also made a crisp for dessert. The usual Trivia Tuesday followed, and we came in second by one point yet again.

I also heard from the potential job yesterday, and they cleared all my references and want to continue with the hiring process. I went in to get some paperwork for my crim record check and doctor's note, and I asked them about vacation time and schooling, and they said they try to be flexible, especially in the case of school, so that's good. So today I have to find out where to get my check done, and make a couple appointments. Fun fun.
