This was a pretty good week over all. Yogurl got another babysitting job on Monday, score! Yogurl loves babysitting! Tuesday, I had duty at the barracks, which means I got to sit around and do nothing for 24 hours. At first I was a little excited because I get to eat at the chowhall whenever I have duty. It just wasn't as good as I remembered it being. I guess I'm just getting spoiled by Yogurl's cooking. The Duty NCO I was working with was an MP, and he busted some guys who were driving around the parking lot like idiots. That was pretty cool. Other than that, it was just really long and made me very tired. Meanwhile, Yogurl watched Bride and Prejudice, some Bollywood chick flick. So I'm glad I was on duty watching the news instead. She really enjoyed it, though. Also on Tuesday, I went in and got qualified on my second position. That means that I am no longer just a student. It also means that I am now deployable, so I guess we'll see what happens next.
Wednesday we went to Trader Joe's and I realized that I can't take Yogurl there because she spends all our savings. She spent at least an hour deciding which salad to buy. "Oh Manburger, they're all so yummy and healthy looking. I just don't know which one to buy." That's okay, Manburger is very patient. While Yogurl ate fun, organic pizza, I ate a free Chipotle burrito that I got for giving blood. Both of our tummies were happy.
Yogurl wants to tell you all about her exciting Thursday, so here she is...
Thursday I was invited out to lunch with some sisters from our church who all have children. They were nice enough to include me even though Manburger and I are far away from that point of our life. We took the kiddies to McDonald's and they ran around the play area. A few of us women bought lunch from Rubio's and took it over there so I didn't have to suffer the tragedy of eating McDonald's. I really enjoyed getting out of the house and talking to some ladies my age.
For dinner on Thursday I made the yummiest chili and a really good cucumber, mango, coconut salad. The pizza is from Trader Joe's.
If you want the recipes, sent me an email and I'll pass them along. You know, copyright issues.
Friday we had a fun date night with our neighbors two doors down. It was also the one year mark when Manburger proposed after bootcamp. For our date we went to our fav, La Perla Tapatia for desserts and then across the street to Eriberto's for real food. I had a yummy machaca torta and Manburger had a chimichanga. After we ate we went back to our friend's house and played Settlers.
This is Manburger again. Yogurl was kind enough to leave out that I almost ruined our date night. After I got back from work, I went to help a member move. Yes, they were moving at 6pm on Friday. So as you can imagine nobody volunteered to help, so I said I would. Anyway, I was supposed to be back at 7:15 or so, but I didn't get back til about 8:20. Yogurl was kind enough to forgive my tardiness. They didn't have much stuff to move, but their storage unit was on the second floor and inside. As you can imagine, that complicated things a bit. Everything turned out just fine, though. I would have left when I needed to to get back in time, but there was only the Elder's Quorum President, a youth, and myself. So, I would have felt bad leaving early. Anyway, we still had time for our date night. Also, we tried to go see the Grunion which the news said would be on the beach in abundance between 11:45 pm and 1:45 am. We arrived at approximately 12:30 only to find nothing made sand and water. What a rip-off. See if I ever believe the news again.
Saturday, Yogurl took me shopping for new cute clothes for her trip home. I guess that any sort of trip obviously requires a new ensemble. At least, that is what Yogurl tells me. Maybe if I hadn't grown up in a house with 4 boys I would know these things. Anyway, the best part of the day was when we went to Barnes and Noble. They had a deal where you could buy something from them and then go next door and get a free burrito from Chipotle. So I got to have a second free Chipotle burrito in the same week! What a sweet deal.
Saturday evening we rented Just Like Heaven. Even though it was a chick flick, it had the guy who was Napoleon Dynamite, so I thought it was pretty decent.
Anyway, I guess that is about all for this week. Just looking forward to going to Ohio to visit. Yogurl says she is looking forward to seeing her cute niece and her cute sisters and her cute friend and her cute parents and her cute house and her cute ward and showing off her cute husband.
