man oh man. Last week I worked 9-6 so I could give a training and it was the best thing ever. Yes, I love my evening schedule but changing it up every once and a while really adds some spring in my step. The time at work just flew by and then as soon as I knew it I was at home again, walking the dogs, cooking dinner with dave and finishing up more wedding projects. Granted, work was super slow this week and I was exhausted every morning and every night and I wouldn't have been able to deal had I really been required to do actual work. Plus I was dead asleep by 10pm every night... Bla.
Anyways, Dave and I really got to play house with normal bankers hours and it was very domestically romantic. On the 4th of July I worked on a wedding project most of the day and then we BBQed with friends and parked at the UNM soccer stadium to watch fireworks. It was so perfect. The air was cool and we were sitting on the tailgate with the dogs and our friends. The dogs were very well behaved and baby Alannah (the newest member of our clan of friends) slept through the entire show. So nice.
Thursday night I decided we were going to grill pizzas for the first time and it was sooooo cool. Did you know that you can buy dough from Dion's? It's $3 for enough dough to make an 18" pizza! We made two smaller pizzas and Dave manned the grill as I layered on the toppings. It was raining outside and the dogs were muddy and the pizza was delicious. Loved it. Then we drank some wine and watched "Paul" which is from the same guys who did "Sean of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz." It was pretty darn funny, and again, I was fast asleep by 10pm.
Next week I'm back to my old schedule but I feel like I'm just coming off a week long vacation and I'm ready to handle everything head on.
Here's a little recap of the pizza deliciousness:

Oh! and I forgot to mention that later that night we also grilled some fruit and used it top some coconut gelato. So fancy. All you do make a little tin foil packet and add few plums cut in half, black berries, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and two teaspoons of sugar and then put on a hot grill for 20 mins. It was one of those things I would probably find a way to mess up somehow, but since this was my week of re-invigoration, it came out perfect. Pour it on top of some ice cream and enjoy.
(both dinner and dessert were loosely inspired by Food Network recipes)
