Slow Your Roll Summer

I can't believe that I've already been back in Minnesota for almost 2 full weeks now.  Where are June & summer going??  This was actually a rather uneventful week.  I have fun plans with a couple of different people today as well as a graduation party tomorrow but the first part of this week was pretty tame.

Linking up with Amanda & Amy.

One

Next month is my friend's bachelorette party.  I'm her maid of honor but with me living 1100 miles away I've felt pretty useless.  I was however able to make invitations for her bachelorette party & get them all mailed out this week.

The first half of the week was really gloomy so when my mom & I met up for lunch I knew I had to get some soup.  Chicken Wild Rice is my absolute favorite soup, & while I could very easily make it in Texas, I seem to only ever have it while I'm in Minnesota.

The very next day my mom had an appointment in my college town & since I had to drop my car off at the mechanic that morning, I went with her.  After appointment we went to Menards & then wandered around the mall for awhile.  Without first checking Victoria's Secret, I went & bought a bra at Pink.  Yes, I realize they're the same company.  I needed a bra for my way too many racerback tank tops & when Pink didn't have any left on sale, instead of going over to VS to look I went & bought one at full price.  Once I walked out of there I was not in the mood to deal with the mess that is the Semi-annual sale so instead of looking through their bins I just accepted my full price bra.  Whatever, it's cute.  For lunch we went to a Chinese buffet that I used to go to with my high school/college boyfriend all the time.  I hadn't been there in a good 6 years.  Mostly I'm obsessed with egg drop soup.  I need to figure out how to make it on my own.

With 0 plans & super gloomy weather yet again on Wednesday I finally started another book.  I have been wanting to read this book for YEARS.  I first saw it on a blog that I used to read all the time.  I couldn't even tell you whose blog it was anymore because they also haven't been active in blogging for years.  Anyway, I got it for Christmas & have just now started reading it.

I mean the pictures pretty much explain themselves but I'll go on... Tuesday this mouse had made a house in the mailbox.  He ran out when my mom opened the mailbox & then she knocked the nest out.  Thursday I go to check the mail, screamed a little, & walked away.  I tried to find a stick but it broke.  So I found a garden hoe.  No I didn't kill it... I tried to just grab the mail with my hand but when my hand would even get close he'd run at me.  So I grabbed the hoe, knocked the mail to the ground, & stuck that in my pocket.  I then kept knocking on the side hoping it would scare him & he'd run out...he didn't... So I just shut the door & walked away.  I don't need a mouse running at me.
