Monday... yucky day

Ok, so out of 7 days of the week, there are two that are not my favorite... Sunday & Monday. Sunday because that is my catch-up day, the day I do laundry, clean the house, pay the bills, all the fun stuff. Monday, for the obvious reason... the start of a work week. This week was no different in my dislike of Monday, but I must say that Sunday was a good day. I got up early, got ready, went out and did some things, then we had some friends over to watch the Colts game (ok, that part was NOT good--the game, not the having the friends over), then I met my friend, Missy, at the movies where we watched Juno. She's been trying to get me to see that movie & the one theater we like to go to has a $5 club, where after a movie has been out for 2 weeks they are $5, no matter what time you go see them. So, she told me that I was meeting her to go see this movie (honestly she didn't have to ask twice). It was a good, funny movie. So, if you can get over the fact that it is about a 16-year old who gets pregnant, go see it.

After the movies I came home to my son & husband watching a movie. I also had to finish up laundry (which I'm still doing tonight). Seriously, how many dirty clothes can a family of three come up with in a week's time? A lot. That's my answer & if you don't believe me, ask my washer & dryer. This is why I don't like laundry - so far I've done 6 loads of laundry & I have some still in my laundry room to do (like sheets & towels). Ugh! As much as I don't like doing laundry, it's one chore that I'm not ready to totally give up doing completely... it's a love/hate relationship. :)

So, for those of you who like the Colts, what was up with the game yesterday? Seriously. My husband will be the first to tell you, I'm not much of a football watcher, but I do like watching the Colts in the playoffs (liked it a lot better last year). So, with the Colts out this season, I am rooting for the Packers!

Ok, being as it is Monday & I think I wrote on my first blog that I was starting my exercise on the elliptical machine. Well, I was going to get up at 6am this morning & start my day off right, but I didn't. I slept in & oh how I enjoyed that 45 more minutes of sleep. So, I told Erik tonight I was going to workout & that is what I did. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... I had taped The Amazing Race last night & watched that as I did 20 minutes of the elliptical. I figured I would work my way up to longer sessions on the elliptical. Erik & I had a pretty good system, when I got home I started dinner while he finished his workout & then he came up to finish it while I worked out. It was ready by the time I got done & was cooling off. Of course I choose tonight as a night to try a new recipe, but it worked out fine.

**Ok - spoiler alert... if you haven't watched it this week, don't continue to read if you don't want to know what happened. How many out there watch The Amazing Race? Have you been happy with who has been eliminated so far? I am rooting for Donald & Nicolas. I was so happy when Nathan & Jennifer were eliminated this week, even if it was her birthday. She was so rotten to him, I felt bad for him. She would always blame him for starting arguments, when she basically started the day off by yelling at him. So, needless to say there was no heartbreak with this weeks elimination.

Well, I think I've caught you all up with our lives (or at least mine) in the Huntoon house. Hope you guys had a good Monday.
