Nearly There

Our deck is so close to being done! It's so exciting. As you can see, they've started putting up the railings and I love it! Where it ends at the outer edge is where the spa will begin! I just can't wait! I also can't wait for my yard to get fixed back up. Every day when I come home it's a little worse. Of course the rain hasn't helped with this but what're you going to do? The weather should be good today so that the workers can return and complete the steps and railing and after that, we just have to wait for fair weather for pouring cement. I'm guessing that won't happen next week but we'll see. 

I'm SOOOOOOO happy it's the weekend. I'm especially happy that my day should be easy with a big quiz on part 1 of TKM in ELA and then it's video day in history. I need this little break from teaching today because these kids are driving me crazy. 

Last night I made a Tex-Mex chicken and zucchini one-pot meal and it was amazing. I've made it before but I don't remember it being this good. And! It's a really healthy meal (aside from the rice I served with it but whatever...I love me some starch and carbs. Tonight will be grilled cheese and soup. I pulled shepherd's pie soup upon Jim's request. Yummy. 

Maggie turned me on to a new show to watch: Paradise on Hulu. It's with James Marsden and Sterling K. Brown. I'm in episode 2 and it's REALLY good so far. 

I got my butter container delivered yesterday so I'm all ready to make me some butter this weekend! Is that weird? 

Weekend plans: Tomorrow is Jimmy's 57th (holy shit!) birthday! We're going to Scotty's for dinner and I'm very excited. I love me some Italian and I love Scotty's. It's been around since 1912 and family owned! Everything is hand made and I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. 

Sunday, who knows? I'm sure we'll hit Shooters but other than that, I plan on just hanging out at home. I'll probably watch at least the 1st half of the game and the half-time show but I'm not really well versed in Kendrick Lamar so it's not a big pull for me. Beyond that, we'll just have to see how the game is going and if it's worth me watching the 2nd half. I bought a Superbowl square from the shooters thingy (just one) but I have three squares on the school one. Fingers crossed I win something. Mamma needs some new outdoor furniture! 

And I think that's all I've got left to talk about. Happy weekend. Later!
