Soup Night and Stuff

It is freezing here (about 36) and windy. I'm thinking tonight will be a good soup night. I'm trying to find a recipe that does not have 40 ingredients and about 30 of which you can't find around here. Let me know if you have any good ideas.

Yesterday, we went to Babies R Us to purchase a new car seat. Mike's mom got us a great deal on one at Sears. I was so excited to save some money, however, the car straps are enough to drive me mad. Callum has the same opinion. Anything I can do to prevent a car seat meltdown is well worth the money. After Callum demoed about 15, we found the ideal one with a push button release and tangle free straps. Perfect!! The insane strappy one is going in Mike's truck.

So, I got a Victoria's Secret catalog in the mail. I can NOT even tell you the last time I got one of those. Is this a hidden message? Is someone trying to tell me something??? Ugh! It made me realize how much I am enjoying being in my sweats all day if I want. I'm going to take full advantage of this year off from school! One of the perks of teaching online.

Callum and I walked over to the beach few times last week. Every time, I forgot my camera. I've gotta get better at taking my camera with me. If it warms up some later on in the week, I plan on getting some pix. I'm so excited for summer! Mike was looking at big tonka trucks yesterday. Perfect for the sand. BTW, can you believe they are $30?

So this week, I'm going to get back on the taxes. After finishing end of the year payroll, I needed a break. And we only have a few employees! All this stuff really shouldn't take me this long. I just over analyze (in between Callum's naps). I'm a bit of a procrastinator too. Then on Thursday, we are going with Mike on his out of town trip.
