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.
