Monday blahs

I don't recall a weekend ever passing so quickly. Last week I was preparing for the weekend - purchasing paint so we could finish the living room and looking forward to a day at Janet's making stepping stones while my guy replaced his master cylinder. Saturday came and we had gotten up and had breakfast by 10am. BF headed to the auto store to pick up his master cylinder as they are a specialty shop and only open until 12 noon. His part didn't come in yet so he went back at 11AM and found that they had ordered the wrong brand; a brand almost $100 more than what they had quoted him. While his Sunday plans were shot, we still had all day on Saturday. While he was gone for the 11AM run, I was painting the living room. Once he returned, we worked together to get the first coat on, including the REALLY high trim at the top of the vaulted ceiling. Luckily, the trim is high enough that we don't need to go over it a second time, so our second coat was strictly rolling it on the main sections and touching up anything we had missed. We went in our grubbies to a local pizza joint, had a beer and picked up 2 pizzas and headed back home. We had an early dinner and went back to painting. By 7PM, the entire process was complete and cleaned up. We spent the next hour replacing the front speakers in my car.
Sunday came and I was due 30 minutes south at 9AM for a birthday bash; women only, and there was only 3 of us. Mrs B had her birthday and we decided that she would be 8 again. We made the day in to a playdate and mixed mortar, concrete, and made stepping stones and mosaic pots (in other words, we made mud pies). It was a fun filled day and I will eventually see my projects, once they dry and settle. I made it home a little after 5PM and snatched a couple of yellow crook-neck squash from the garden. I nibbled on the arugala flowers and leaves, made some rice and squash while bf smoked and grilled a couple of steaks. Delish! We watched some cooking shows and hit the sack. Meanwhile, my essay is due today and was incomplete. I finally finished writing my compare/contrast of organic vs non-organic and it's printed and ready to go. I've got to better plan my homework assignments!
My trash can taters are as high as the top of the can. I think it's way too early for them to be so large and have no idea what to do with them. Meanwhile, my tomatoes are now all staked, and string is run so that they are all vertical and happy. This stake and string technique I find easier than caging the tomatoes. I harvested two more calendula leaves, found 1 additional cotton seedling, and I am letting my spinach go to see as it never did much with this hot hot spring time anyways.
