Early Morning Blogging and Productive Evenings

The boy is in Denver this week for work. I will admit to being somewhat excited to being on my own for the week. Coming and going as I please, going to bed early, working out, working on wedding stuff and whatnot. This morning I even got into work at 7:45am. Pretty good considering when the boy and I come in together it’s usually much later :) But I think it had more to do with the fact that I couldn’t really sleep in my own bed alone. When in the world did THAT happen??

Last night was a little tough. I went to Michael’s in an attempt to get more wedding crap while they had this “4 hour madness” sale. It was madness alright–next time I think I’ll just pay full price. But despite me almost needing to go to my happy place, I survived and got some loot that we required. I spent too much at the grocery store too, which is funny considering I tried buying for one. Who knows. After I got home it was much better though. I prepped for today, cleaned up, and I even organized all the wedding presents and supplies in the back room. I was worried about the girls coming in and staying in there and then getting lost :) I have to admit, I’m pretty pleased with it.

In the midst of all of this organizing, I also organized my files in the cabinet-one of those tasks I’d just been putting off. While I was going through everything I found my users manual for the vacuum-you know, the one that’s only spitting out dirt?? So I do a little reading on what might be the problem, get out my trusty phillips head and have at it. What I discovered does not need to be blogged about-I feel certain the boy would’ve lost his lunch if he saw the humongous hair clog. Seriously, I might need to consider shaving Stinky.

But I fixed it! I was so proud-and it was a good thing too b/c I made a huge mess :) I cannot believe how much hair there was-good GOD! Anyhow, I’m pretty pleased with how productive I was last night.



A Case of the Mondays

Today pretty well sucked.

  • One of my friends is dealing with a “sick” child (”sick” b/c you wouldn’t know it in the normal sense).
  • One of my friends just found out she may not be able to have biological children.
  • One of my friends has to get married a month early, b/c her soon to be mother-in-law is dying of a brain tumor.


The Most Wonderful News!

Someone is preggers! No, not me people!! A coworker just told us-what a great thing to learn on a Monday :) She’s so happy, and I’m so happy for her. It helps to remind you about what’s really important. Meanwhile, it could mean some interesting things for me on the work front. More on that eventually. Wow, happy day :)

Other than that I leave tomorrow for an on-site, so there’s only but so much I can get doing today.



Reconnecting

There are never enough hours in the day-I doubt I’m declaring anything new here :) I make no grandiose declarations here about “turning a new leaf”–I know what’s in my heart–but I’m still making an effort to get back in touch with some old friends.

It’s interesting to me, as a lover of all things reality TV, to almost be able to look into other people’s world’s in a voyeuristic way. I know that it sounds so simplified, but to see my high school friends “all growed up” is almost surreal. I grew up in a fairly close-knit class, and I’m so happy for their success, and my heart breaks for their pains as well.

Work these past few days has been much quieter-all of the managers are out of the office, and most people are on PTO. For the first time since the Spring it’s quiet (despite leaving for an on-site next week) and I’m enjoying it greatly. Especially now that the boy so graciously helped me move desks around-I’m all feng shuied out :)

Plus, tomorrow’s my day in the office this week. Thursday we go tubing and the Fourth of July festivities begin at the Barnharts



Cocktails at Work

No, not THOSE kind, though I do feel drunk. Relax people, I’m not.

My neck went out again. Sometime last night/ this AM while sleeping. The usual pattern of stress and using my neck to push myself up. Anywho, it went out. So I took a muscle relaxer this AM. And WOW it hit me. Doesn’t usually, but bleh. I know I’ll never be a drug addict or what not simply because I am not the biggest fan of this feeling.
