Moving

Lord please give me strength. Our office is moving locations on Wednesday, and we're spending all day packing today. I'm exhausted from staying up too late watching episodes of True Blood (Season 1) and feel like shit because I did the re-introduction phase of wheat into my allergy diet for the past two days. I want to die I feel so crappy, but now I know I definitely have a gluten intolerance, and most likely all dairy as well.

Surprise Accomplished!

Just pulled off the best surprise for Hubby. Picked up his friend J from the airport and had Hubby meet my "company" for lunch before he went to work under the guise he was helping our office move locations. When he walked into the diner and saw his friend, his face was absolutely priceless! He was stunned and speechless (which rarely ever happens) and then got the biggest grin on his face. The boys are now full from lunch and off to spend some male-bonding time together. I'll probably go home to find they've built another man-cave in the backyard!

Joy

I stopped by Michael's today, and they have started putting out Halloween items!!! I made my first holiday purchase of a bitchin' white owl with creepy eyes for the mantle. Start thinking of your costumes ladies!

On another note, I will be taking the Cake Decorating Class Level 1 starting in August. They are offering it on either Monday or Wednesdays. If anyone is interested and one day works better than the others, let me know. I'm leaning towards Wednesday.

Kicking & Screaming

My office is in the middle of moving and I'm tearing my hair out because not one box has been packed! Just found out ALL filing cabinets need to be emptied out completely before the movers get here on Wednesday. Eff'ing great. Oh, did I mention I'm also PMS'ing which is making for a wonderful day!

My Horoscope for Tomorrow

"You may be required to focus your attention on a work-related matter, but you really don't want to put in too much effort on much of anything today. Unfortunately, you might not be able to slow your mind down enough to truly relax, yet it's still a smart idea to schedule some downtime. You'll need some energy in reserve for when things pick up this weekend."


Shoot, that sounds like how most of my days wind up going! Not wanting to work during the week and needing to reserve energy for the weekend!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Another busy 3-day weekend! I was lucky enough to have Friday off, so I took advantage of sleeping in till 9am. I got my butt in gear and headed to the gym for a Body Flow class and then headed over to the grocery store to pick up provisions for the birthday party/4th of July party going on at my casa on Saturday. Holy cow, the store was a madhouse! People were zooming in and out of aisles with blatant disregard for their fellow shoppers. I had my list in hand and even so, I finished up in about an hour. I also had to pick up a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for the birthday girl. It was 102 degrees outside and I was praying the whole way home that the damn cake didn't melt!

I made it home and unpacked and Hubby called to tell me they were just starting playing the back nine and would be home in about 2 hours. Him and a friend went golfing on Willie's course and had quite an experience. From golfers without shirts to raunchy bets and lots of beer. Needless to say they had a fun time. For the rest of the day I lounged out by the pool and read more Sookie books. Later than evening we headed to PF Changs for dinner, which was delicious as usual.

Saturday started off with a bang as the pool party commenced at noon. We had a ton of food and drinks and wonderful company. We swam all day and laughed and waited for the fireworks to start around 9:15pm. A neighbor friend does a wonderful fireworks display on his own dime each year, so we had private front row seats and didn't have to fight for parking or be bothered by unruly crowds. Party lasted until a little after midnight when the remaining few called it a night.

Sunday started off with a yummy group breakfast and then we headed back to the pool to lay out all day. Other friends came over to help us eat the overabundance of food and by 6pm Hubby and I were vegging on the couch watching movies to unwind. Gotta love 3 day weekends!

I Love Vampires

I'm currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse series of books, which I love. S. passed along the first four episodes of True Blood, which is the HBO series based on the books. The two disks were 4 hours total, and I stayed up until midnight watching them all. Damn, I love vampires. Plus for all you dudes, Anna Paquin shows some skin in the series, but not until later. There is still plenty of R-rated stuff to get your Hubbies interested in watching this with you!
