Weekend Review

When I look back on my weekend I feel like it was uneventful, but I really got a lot done. Friday, I was exhausted and fell asleep at 9:30. I have not been sleeping well, so this was a good thing. Of course I tossed and turned all night and still didn't sleep well. I know that my bed is super comfy and I was not hot, so I don't know what my problem was. I woke up around 10 on Saturday. I ate breakfast and farted around the house til about 1 when I decided to get off my butt and run some errands. I finally bought lamps for our living room and some random stuff for my room and bathroom. I also did some grocery shopping for the week to come. Wow, I am so exciting. Ginny came over and we tried to install my shoe shelves...what a disaster. I broke two shelves with my brute force ;) We gave up and went to Figo for some yummy pasta. After Ginny left, Dylan came over and we watched the end of the GA game...go dawgs...and went to Red Door. Sunday, I got to visit with baby Raeghan while mommy and daddy were coming home from the game. I held the little angel for two hours. I rocked her, changed her, fed her, and even burped her. I know that burping a baby is not a big feet, but I am always so scared to do it. I just hate "hitting" them like that. She is the sweetest baby!

End of My Rope

Yet another day w/o anything to do at work. I am sure those of you who are swamped at work are very annoyed with me for saying this. But, I would really rather be busy than bored out of my mind. I spent the 1st hour of work paying bills and organizing the personal crap I lug to work everyday. I was feeling pretty productive and the hour flew by. And that was the only time I have been in a good mood all day. I even thought to bring a book today to keep myself occupied. I read for about an hour, but I was so uncomfortable and felt like I was back in high school. I hated silent reading in those school desks. I need to be curled up under a blanket while reading. I ate my leftovers from the other night for lunch. I guess I should have gone out to eat just to get out of the office, but I wanted to save money. I wish they would cut back my hours and I could be here from 10-3 or something. The phones have been super dead today, so I didn't even have those to keep me busy. I did get to listen to my friend Christine on Star 94 talk about Nutrition and Sleep. She is always so nervous before she goes on, but she always does a great job. This weekend should be pretty lonely since Kelly will be in Athens for her sister's wedding. I have plans and things to keep myself busy, but the house will be quiet without her.

Day Off

Okay, no post yesterday since I did not go into work and I have been too lazy and cheap to set up internet at home. With my whole day off, I took care of quite a few things I have been meaning to do. I met with my future co-worker for breakfast and talked about all of the things she has been doing and the things I will be doing over the next few weeks when I start working mid-October. I think I am going to be very busy, which will be a welcomed change. I ran a few errands for a while, then took my car into the shop. My door handle broke, so for the past two weeks I have been rolling down my window to let myself out. It was extremely embarrassing not to mention very ghetto. While my car was being worked on, I hung out with Jessica. Still no baby yet. Hopefully this weekend little Christian will show up. We picked up my car and Jessica came over to see my new home. After that, the Direct TV guy came and fixed the dish...yay! Kelly, Brandon, Dylan, Tim, his friend, and me all went to the Braves game last night. We had the best seats right behind homeplate and it was the perfect weather. The Braves won 4 to 3 against the Marlins!

Monday Schmonday

Back to the "grindstone" aka checking e-mail 40 bijillion times a day. My boss was MIA this morning, but he finally called and said he would not be in until after lunch. Hmmmm, do you think if I went missing like that, it would be okay? Maybe I could just crawl under my desk and take a nap.

Yesterday was so beautiful! Temps below 75 degrees always get me excited about fall. I can't wait to bust out those sweaters. I got home from my parent's around noon and proceeded to fling open every window in our house. The breeze felt so great and it was nice to air the house out. I already feel like my cold is getting better. Yesterday was pretty much the only day that I milled around the house this weekend.

Friday, after surviving my hangover at work, we went to Mellow Mushroom for dinner...YUMMY. Kelly, Brandon, Dylan, Tim (Dylan's roommate), and I all went to Hand-in-Hand to meet up with some people and to of course drink. I was DD, so only one Red Bull and Vodka for this little girl. I was tired, but I still had a really great time. Saturday morning I did more before 11 am than I do in most Saturdays. I woke up at 8:30, went to the grocery store, picked up the dogs I was taking care of, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned two bathrooms, and straightened up the living room and my room (including dusting). I did all of this because Dayana was coming over for brunch at 11. Belgian waffles, eggs, and yummy juice were on the menu along with lots of girl talk and catching up. Ever since the move, I have not seen much of Dayana as we are both busy. To reward myself for the productive morning, I took about a 2 hour nap! Wow, I guess two nights in a row of less than 7 hours of sleep total will do that to you. Jenny Brockman's b-day party was at 8:30, so I pulled myself together and made it in time for the surprise.

Even with all that sleep I still feel tired. I guess it is due to the fact that I was paranoid about a window being open last night. I opened a window in our living room yesterday and could not physically close it at bedtime. I mean I pulled and pushed on this thing and it was not budging. I even stood up on the back of the couch and tried to put all of my body weight on the thing and it still would not close. I had no choice but to leave it open. Every noise I heard freaked me out. My bedroom window was also open and is directly above the living room, so I figured that if anyone tried to break in...I would hear it, run into Kelly's room, lock the door, and call 911. I don't know what nocturnal animal lives outside my house, but it was outside my window all night making noise and freaking me out. I think the neighbors were painting or packing, cause it sounded like they were ripping tape. They had been doing this all day, but at 1 am it sounded like someone cutting my window screen with a huge knife that they would use to probably kill me! I was bound and determined not to go to work until it was closed. I am pleased to report that I did (after much work) get the window closed this morning.

Save Me

Another boring day at work with nothing to do. I am hungover and exhausted. I guess that is what cheap wine and staying up 'til 2 am will do to you. I have nothing more to say. Hopefully my weekend will be much more fun than this week has been.

Why

Why do they need me to sit here and answer the phones from 9-6, when the phone only rings MAYBE 10 times all day? If they want to pay me to check my e-mail, then fine. On another note, I got my True Office Confession posted today. See if you can guess which one was mine. I posted around 2:55. And, no it is not the one about free ballin'...gross!

Yadda Yadda Yadda

Another day at work with NOTHING to do. I hate this. My boss is back today, but has not given me anything to do yet. I spend my day checking my e-mail every 5 minutes, playing on MySpace and Facebook, and reading True Office Confessions .com. If you have never visited this lovely site, then you are seriously missing out. People can post anonymously their thoughts and feelings about their job and the people they work with. There are some pretty pissed off people out there. I also had no idea how many people are fantasizing about their co-workers. I guess I have just not worked with any attractive people. I found this site while reading another site Passive Aggressive Notes .com. People post notes from their roommates, coworkers, or other pissed off people. More aggressive usually than passive aggressive though. So funny what people get all worked up about and don't have the nerve to say it to someone's face. My favs are the roommate notes. They are normally about a mess in the house, eating eachother's food, or random people being there. We have all been there at one time or another. Wow, so glad I have a normal roommate! I am sure I will post twice today, so this is all for now!

Shame-Shame

I have been so bad about posting since I moved. I guess this is due to the fact we don't have internet yet. I am holding off since my new job is going to give me a computer. I can get on at work, but last week was pretty crazy since we had to submit a huge proposal to FedEx. I have not had time to even think about blogging.

The new place is fabulous! Things are coming along really well. Kelly and I have been getting along just like we did in Italy. Even with both of us being under the weather, we have managed to remain sweet. Speaking of, I cannot seem to shake this cough I have had for a week now. I think our vents need to be cleaned out or something. I don't feel bad, but I sound pretty bad. I guess there is really nothing to do except take Mucinex when you don't have insurance.

The weekend of the move was one of the busiest weekends I have had in a long time. I started moving in on Thursday, I closed on the house on Friday at 11:00, the furniture people delivered everything at 12:30, and we both moved in all day Friday and Saturday. I finally took a break Saturday night for some drinking at Hand-n-Hand with Kelly, her boyfriend Brandon, and his friend Dylan (pronounced Die-lan). The next morning I had to be in Marietta to do Leigh Cofer-Smith's makeup for her wedding. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful she looked. They were married outdoors at Zion Farms, just outside of Rome. The ceremony was beautiful apart from the photographer stalking the couple in the bushes like a paparazzi. She came out with all sorts of flora all over her...I had a hard time containing my laughter :) The reception was inside due to the fact that it "looked" like it might rain earlier in the day. Leigh and Jay did a great job picking out the food: ribs, slaw, potato salad, beans, and last but not least CHEESE GRITS!!! Best food ever at a wedding, in my opinion. Monday we continued moving and ran a billion errands. I found a 26 inch flat screen on sale at Brand Smart for $380.00! Wooowhooo for Labor Day sales. Monday night we felt like it was time to celebrate Labor Day and cook out. The four of us that went out Friday got together. The boys cooked while Kelly kicked my ass on the Wii. Hey, cut me some slack. I have only played it 5 times at most.

The best thing that happened this past weekend was Raeghan Layne Fleming being born on Friday! She is so beautiful and such a good baby. I can't believe Erin and Drew are parents! I am sure that I will have a million pics to put up over the next few weeks. I also met my friend Christine's boyfriend/future husband for the first time. I have never seen her happier or with someone who understands and treats her as well as Keith. I am very excited for them. I am predicting they will be married in spring 2008 and have their first child winter 2009. I am saying it first folks! It is also official that I am now an LSU fan. I don't really have a choice living with Kelly and basically Brandon. I will say that I am partial to their colors, since I used them to teach Complementary Colors to my art students. Kelly and I went to Rio Grande to watch the game with the other LSU Alums. What a blow out! I guess Rio Grande will be seeing a lot more of me than they usually would with just their kick ass drink specials. Alright, this is all I have in me for now. And sorry about the lack of pics, but I am on my work computer.
