Exciting Wednesday Stuff

Well, not really. This morning I am researching Federal Record Schedules and Recordkeeping. Yep, can you feel the excitement.... I get to be the new guru. Yay... However I am also plotting a training program for our admins who have to deal with Recordkeeping as well. All the information is there, it is just buried. So, if I pull it and put together a proposal, I am sure my boss will go for it. Plus it makes some rather boring subject matter interesting.

Other than that, the week has been pretty status quo. I am seeing Ryan tonight for my once every two week booty kicking. Tomorrow I am taking the day off from working out because I am getting sore and my body needs that day off. I did a pilates work out last night and I forgot how much I like it (and how much it kicks butt!!). It was at home, so Simon thought he needed to help. Of course I need the help and guidance of an 8 lb feline :).

Okay, that's it. Tomorrow is my good friend Dawn's birthday so I need to think of the perfect gift for her. Seriously, it shouldn't be too hard since we were pretty much separated at birth but for some reason I am stumped! I don't see her until Saturday night, so I have time. Her party is going to be at Zea in Frisco. I always like that place so it will be fun! Wine and hummus -- a great way to celebrate a birthday.

Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Lazy Sundays are the best! The boy just left and we pretty much spent all day watching Football. It was nice. I did get up and work out this morning but after that, really, haven't moved much! I have been running around for the last two days, so really, I don't feel too bad for chilling. I needed to rest.

Last night I threw a going away gathering for my friend Mia. She is moving to NYC and so I had a few friends over last night for food and wine (and some beer too). It took all day to get ready but it was worth it. I like hosting gatherings, I just don't do it enough. I tried to make Lemon Bars (recipe from my cousin Katie) and while they were edible, I did something to the crust. So they were more like Lemon crumbles. I love Lemon Bars so I need to figure out what the heck I did and fix it. I will try again soon :). Or maybe I just need to fly to Cali and have Katie make them for me..... :). I had a lot of food left over though! But then again, at a party you don't want to run out of food. So, it's all okay. I can save some of it for any Super Bowl party I attend. Friday was just a run around day, nothing huge, just running errands and visiting Sam's for food.

I am looking forward to the new week. Just have to get in the mindset of the new workweek! I have a movie I will watch and then bed early. Everyone have a great Sunday!

Happy Day Off!

I had MLK day off and spent it with my friend Dawn. We went to White Rock for a quick walk (it was early and still too cold so it was a short walk!). Then we went to lunch and shopping at Northpark Mall. It was rather fun and I found some cute stuff. I had 2 Banana Republic gift cards and actually ended up only spending $4.95 of my own money. There were a lot of discounts and sales. All was good :). Now I am just chilling because I am tired.

A lot has changed in the last week. Most people know the story but I am still not going to blog about it just yet. But I am very very happy and it will last a long time. At least I believe it will.

The weekend was pretty good. Busy and lots going on. I had a date on Saturday night and we were supposed to go see "Up In the Air", however it was sold out. We didn't feel like waiting for the 9:30 show so we saw "Leap Year". It was so good. I do recommend it. I thought it started off a bit slow but at the end, I actually had a little tear in my eye. Very sweet love story!

Okay, that's it. Or at least that is all I plan to report today! Have a great evening. Later!!

Everything and Nothing

Happy New Year! More than a week later :)>.

The week has been pretty good. There is a new boss in my section at OSHA and she is pretty cool so far (I am cautiously optimistic). We are having a meeting next week for our ADs and so I am helping her prepare the agenda and get things going for it. My "atta girl" this week was for an awesome agenda. Hey, I will take it where I can get it :). I think she is very fair and I might just learn a lot from her. So, while I am still annoyed by the people who work around me, I might actually be able to grow and get better projects. We shall see.....

I have decided not to train for the March 2010 1/2 marathon. I am going to work towards one in Dec. March is too soon for my level of running. So, there ya go. Right now I am focused on getting back to eating right and a regular workout routine. I am going to start seeing Ryan 2x a month. I think that will keep my brain on track and I can still get a butt whooping. It will be easy on my budget and still get me what I need.

Man, I thought I'd have more to report, but I guess not :). Everyone stay warm!!!
