Then I got a message. "Where are u today????" from one of my group members. It was sent at 10:30 AM and it was now 5 PM.
OMG.
I checked my schedule. I WAS WRONG. It wasn't the 11th, it was the 10th!
I cried.
This project-based learning training had become very special to me. Not only did I love learning about it but my group members had become some seriously close friends. So anyways, I made the most of my day off (oh wait, you thought I would cancel my sub and go to work? HAHA) and drove my butt to Ikea for a much-needed shopping spree.
Four hours of driving and $300 later, I was satisfied!
I bought two sets of curtains - one for the dining room and one for our master bedroom. I am obsessed with them both. I finally feel inspired to do something with these forgotten rooms. I also picked up the junior chair for Patrick. He's probably not quite ready for it because he thinks he can get up and down throughout his meal - but I hate the booster seat. It gets full of rotten food and stains my chair cushions so this was our solution. It's surprisingly sturdy, too.
Last night we had some of our closest friends over for dinner. The menu included lasagna, salad and garlic bread. I used Trader Joe's three-cheese pasta (which is the best ever) and just followed the recipe on the back of the lasagna box. I have a serious problem with it though: what is up with the recipe calling for "uncooked" lasagna? Every speck of my gorgeous sauce was sucked up by that stupid pasta and the entire dish was completely dry. I was livid and apologized profusely to our guests.
The salad was delicioso though. I always buy Good Seasons italian dressing packet with the free cruet and make it myself - it's amazing! Just mix the seasonings with vinegar, water and oil! Super fresh!
We had a great time, despite Lilly's chair tipping backwards causing her to bash her head on the baseboard heater. (Side note: Honey, we'd better get a new dining room table before we get sued)
