Emmy Observations

Steve Carell was ROBBED!!!! If "The Office" doesn't win, I will actually cry...... (This just in...... they just WON!!! Fabulous.)

Go Daily Show!!! Best Show and Writing. (Poor Mike is getting text everytime I see something exciting. )

The presentation by Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart just cracked me up! "I lost to Barry Manilow!!!!" Guess you had to see it :-)

Jaime Pressley looked awesome! And she actually has curves. Beautiful dress! That is motivation to keep working out with Ryan!!! Spin class, here I come. I wish she would have won -- she is great on My Name is Earl. She was definitely my favorite tonight.

(And Mariska Hargitay was just stunning. She looked pretty awesome for just having a baby!)

Okay, that is it for now.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It is rainy today and it is wonderful. It has actually cooled things down for now. This weekend has been pretty good. Friday night I went to Denton to see Saints and Sinners. They were fabulous, as always. Saturday, my upstairs neighbor had a birthday party so we went to that. It was a lot of fun and she had tons of food! And she had birthday cake, which is always good!!! She had so much food left over so she brought some down for Mike and I. A lot of it is going back to Mike's place since there are 3 big guys there who need the food. Plus, some of it was chicken, so it isn't gonna get eaten here!!!

Today really has been lazy. I think I got out once to run an errand. I think it is time to curl up on the couch, read and enjoy the sound of rain. I was watching CNN but it was getting too depressing. So, I had to throw in some mind candy and it is now on E!. The Emmy's are tonight and I will be watching that to see if the Office wins their categories. I won't be able to watch the home thing -- but I will flip and watch some!!!

Later!!!

Nothing Much to Report!

Okay, I really don't have much to post. I am sore and I am very tired. I am just waiting until I can go home and take a nap. Very sad, really! I worked out so hard yesterday I just can't walk. The good news is that I can do 100 push-ups. Not consecutively -- I did have to break in between sets. But still, it was 100. And I did them correctly (in, what Mike terms, girl pushups). I am just having a hard time moving today.......

Other than that, nothing too interesting has been happening. There have been no visits to Ghost Bar or Cool River -- although I do have Cool River pics but they are on my home computer. I will get those posted soon. I haven't even taken my spinning class this week. Don't worry they have them every day. It will get in this week!!! Brian's band is playing this weekend and I am deciding whether to go. I probably will though -- I haven't ventured to Denton in awhile.

Okay, well gonna run! Have a great afternoon.

My new clothes!

Yeah, I went shopping today and now I have jeans that actually fit me! It is a good feeling and will definitely keep me at the gym. I was a bad girl today and didn't go in, but I am going to hit the spin class tomorrow morning. All is not lost! It is so nice to actually be in jeans that are the right size. They don't look so baggy and I don't look so unkempt!

I am waiting for Mike to come pick me up for dinner so I thought I would come and get a post in. We are having dinner with a former co-worker of his. I am looking forward to it. They picked Outback Steakhouse..... he did ask if that was okay for me and I said yes. Don't want anybody to think he was insensitive to his crazy, vegetarian girlfriend! I was actually looking at the menu and I have a few options so I am not worried. Really, I can always find something to eat.

Last night, Jon and I hung out for awhile. He was running late coming over so we did miss the movie, but he had the great idea to go get Thai food! I hadn't had Thai food in a long time. When then came back to my place and watched some movies. We did a lot of laughing over My space pages and the internet in general. It was really rather cool just to hang out with him and relax.

Okay, think the man is about due to the apartment so I am going to finish getting dressed. I hope he hurries because there is nothing on TV and I am getting hungry!

later!

It's Friday!!!

Yay!!! And only 45 minutes until I get to go home. It hasn't been too hard of a day. A lot of people are out of the office so it has been kind of quiet. I am actually trying to find an eye doctor -- any recommendations for Dallas eye docs would be appreciated. I hate just pulling some name off a website! I do need to see one soon though because my contacts are starting to give me problems.

So, last night we head out again and meet Natalie, her friend Amanda and Nat's new man, Jim at Cool River. I have some cute pics that I will be posting once I download this weekend. Mike's co-worker, Jason, stopped by and so we all hung out! It was a lot of fun, although I am very tired right now. Amanda was so cute -- the guys started talking about fighting, so we split off to talk girl talk. She told me she thought Jason was cute. Which he really is a cute guy. I had just never thought to set him up with her (I do have to add that I just met Jason that night...... the one problem with myspace and email is that you really feel like you know the person when you have never actually met!!!). She is a great gal, but I had only actually met her Tuesday! (Again, knew of her threw Nat and saw her myspace, so I kept having to remember that I really didn't know her!) So, I told her we could definitely do something about that. I know he likes her, and at last conversation she liked him, so it might just be a connection. And they would actually look cute together. I'll keep ya posted! It was a great evening, I am just feeling very tired today.

This weekend will be nice and calm. I hope...... I am going to see a movie with Jon tonight and then tomorrow I am shopping! I have nothing that fits and it is very much needed. Again, good problem, but I will be hitting Kohl's for those interim clothes! I am not sure if I am seeing Ryan tomorrow or not. He has a meeting at our normal time so no 8:00 wake up for me! (Actually, I might just hit the yoga class....). We were going to try and do later, but he hasn't called yet. No biggy, I'll just work out on my own. Just need to know!

Have a wonderful weekend. Once I get my pics downloaded (and the Ghost Bar pics from Amanda), I will post!

My Night at the Ghost Bar

My friend Natalie knows everybody. It is absolutely amazing. And she knows people who can get you into places. So, last night, I allowed her connections to get us on the list for Ghost Bar, the new bar in the W hotel. This is apparently where all the pretty people of Dallas hang out... at least for now! One of her friends was working a party there so through her, we were able to get in. I am not sure what would have happened had we tried to get in as "normal people"!

First of all, I was having a clothing crisis. No idea what to wear and nothing fits anymore. While this is a good problem to have (everything is too big), it doesn't help when you need to look pretty hot. So, I finally decided on an outfit while Mike patiently waited on the couch. My hair wasn't behaving, my clothes weren't behaving. It was annoying. He has learned to just sit back until I stand in the living room, with keys in hand, announcing it is time to go. Pretty safe bet for him. Luckily, he is easy going.

We get there and Mike knows the bouncer! They apparently worked together a few years back, although at the time they couldn't place where they knew each other. We go in and have to wait behind the rope for the elevator (yeah, don't ask......). The bar is on the 33 floor of the W hotel, so up we went. Inside was pretty amazing. We have pictures so once Natalie sends them to me, I will post them. It was the best place to people watch. I even ran into someone I worked with at Canon -- and it was someone I never thought I would see there! It was so random. The Ghost Bar has a balcony that is see through all the way around so you can not only see out over Dallas, but you can see below you as well. I don't know how it was made, but it was pretty cool! The other balcony just had the glass view over Dallas, not under your feet.

We only stayed for a few hours but it was a pretty fun experience. We took pictures, walked around, ended up talking to some strange drunk woman about belly button rings and carrot juice. (I know how we started on the belly rings, I have NO idea where the carrot juice came into play.......). I didn't see anything too outrageous to mention here, just a lot of the "pretty people" dancing around and having a good time.

Okay, so that was my evening. Had a reassement with Ryan during my session and have lost inches and a few pounds. That is a very good thing! My hips are starting to budge some more. I am close again to another weight goal so that keeps me motivated. The only problem he sees is that I keep losing muscle mass so he upped my calories to counteract my spinning classes. I don't understand the science of it all, it just works in the end. That is all I care about. I will let him worry about why the body does what it does!

Have a great day!

Fun Weekend

Well, the rest of the weekend went pretty well. Mike and I had dinner with my parents at Boco De Beppo in Dallas. It is a great Italian restaurant -- family style like Maggiano's . There was a lot of food!!!! I have spaghetti for the rest of the week. Seriously........ Mike liked my family and the family seemed to like him too, so all is good! We ended up just watching a movie afterwards, because after pasta and wine, you really don't want to move too much!

Sunday, we did get to see "Talladega Nights". It was a very fun movie. Will Farrell just kept me in stiches. The theater was PACKED! I don't think there was actually an open set. We ended up sitting on the 3rd row!!! That made it rather interesting, especially during the race scenes.

Sunday night, Mom and I went to see "The Full Monty" at a local theater. I have to tell you, I haven't had that much fun at a theater event in a LONG time!!!! Theater Three is a small, intimate theater in the round so you really get to see the actors up close and personal. And we sat on the front row, so it was definitely up close and personal! It was a very "naughty" comedy so don't go if you are easily offended! But I thought it was absolutely hysterical and the actors were so good. And they do pull off the last scene very well,considering it is a theater in the round! Just think back to the movie and you will understand what I am talking about.:-) I really did laugh until I cried!!!

So, today is Monday and I start another week. I am sure it will be a good week -- we'll just keep that mantra going!!! Have a good one!

A Gym Pet Peeve

Why do people insist on using their cell phone while they are working out at the gym!?? They can't be getting any type of good work out in if they do that. Today at the gym, Ryan and I were trying to do the leg press and there was this woman sitting there, on her cell phone, not even pushing. And when she was pushing (only like 30 lbs), she was still on the darn cell phone. Come on, we are obviously in the middle of a set and she is just taking up space! Ryan did ask to work me in, but when we came back again, there she was, sitting on the same machine. Not doing anything, talking on the cell phone. Ryan wasn't as nice this time getting her off. I am sure she complained about him. But, truthfully, it wasn't like she was in the middle of a hard set and really pushing herself. She then went and started talking to another person at the gym. Okay, you know what, if you don't want to maximize your time at the gym, get the heck out of my way, because I do. The gym is the one time you will NOT get me on my cell phone. Don't even try. It is hidden in the locker or trainer office. On silent. I will get back to you in an hour!!! :-) Okay, got that off my chest! (It was a great workout by the way!!!)

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!!

The Weekend is Here!

Wow, it is finally Friday. I am glad it finally got here! I know I shouldn't wish time away, but well, weekends are always much better!

Yesterday, I went to a conference in Farmers Branch for work. It was pretty interesting -- I learned a few things that go on that don't have anything to do with my particular function. The funny thing of the day was that I had to run by Canon to pick up something. Not important what at this particular part of the story :=). I walk in and first of all, the downstairs is just completely tore up. I don't really care why until the security guard tells me she isn't sure she can tell me what is going on. Um, well, now I want to know! Kelly doesn't come out to see me since she is in a training class and then another lady comes downstairs to greet some other people in the lobby. This woman IGNORES me. Now, we weren't best friends when I worked there, but she needs to be a respectful person and acknowledge I am in the room. As I leave, I say HI and she goes all saccharine on me. Whatever. It was just a very odd experience. It was like I was some security threat or something. I laugh because I have access to a lot bigger things than that darn building!

The Art of Exotic Dancing group that I took my workshop through last year is doing a dance series at one of the local studios on Wednesday nights. I started last Wednesday and had a blast! There are 3 more weeks. I like the series version better than the workshop (3 hours/one day). I hadn't done it in awhile and so I was still a little self conscious, but it is nice to get that feeling of standing straight and walking with purpose. Women forget to do that and we could all use reminders! Plus, you really work your thighs when you do moves in heels...........

Mike and I are having dinner with my Parents on Saturday night, so that will be fun. He is out of school until the 28th and I am soooooo happy. I told him I am going to be very protective of my time with him in that time period!!!! (And he is okay with that :-)). I think tonight I am going to Michelle's to hang out. I haven't seen her in forever so it will be nice.

Later!

Okay, so I am not a morning person

I was going to try and do the unusual and actually get up early and go to the gym. Mike did what I asked and texted at 5:15 to make sure my booty actually got out of bed. He texted, I actually did get up and then well, promptly laid back down. After it was clear I was going to miss the Spinning class, I figured since I was up I would do cardio anyway. Yeah, well that never happened either! I don't feel so bad because I have my training session with Ryan tonight. And it isn't like that was the only spinning class this week. I think there are like 5 or 6 more. I can get it in. (And Mike hasn't asked if I went to the class, he just knows I woke up at that time :-)).

There is nothing really to report. We had a nice weekend, but poor Mike has finals this week and so he was slightly distracted. And we didn't get to Talladega Nights because it was sold out. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean instead. I really did like it, but I forgot the warning that it was a super long movie -- and ours started at 10:05 PM...... So, we got home very late. I am going to treat Mike this weekend to Talladega Nights this weekend in celebration of summer classes being over.

I have to get a few things done before our special visitor arrives today. The Assistant Secretary of the DOL (OSHA's big guy) is coming to the office and well, we gotta look presentable :-).

Have a wonderful day!

In favor of new things

This morning I tried my first Spinning class at the gym. I have to tell you, as much resistance as I put into actually taking the darn class, I found I really kind of loved it! Once I got over the whole "how the heck are you supposed to adjust this thing!" and got started, it was great. I am convinced I sweated out those two pounds I was trying to get rid of. So, yes, while I thought Ryan was crazy for telling me I had to go, I really do like it and it will be a new part of my cardio rotation. I just won't admit that I really liked it to Ryan. He would gloat that he was right.......:). Some guys in the class said this instructor wasn't as intense as some of the others, so I am eager to see what they are like. I might just go tomorrow and get on a Sunday spinning schedule.

Last night I tried the Hip Hop class. It confirmed what I already thought -- that I have no rhythm. No one else did either, but we had soooooo much fun!!!! It was actually a class full of newbies, so that made it less intimidating. If I have a chance to go on Friday nights to the class, I will, but sometimes people want to meet while the class is still going. It is more of one of those fun things I will do to move my body, but the cardio punch isn't there (unless I was really good at it and was practicing it over and over), so it can be an add in. I start a dance class on Wednesday nights at another studio, so that will be my dance for the week anyway! I have found that you can talk to more people in the classes than just on the cardio machines. And when I am with Ryan, I don't have an opportunity to interact with anybody else (besides the other trainers).

Well, that is it for today. I am going to get some stuff taken care of today before I meet up with Mike this evening. I am not sure what we have planned - probably the new Will Ferrel movie. Okay, Simon is meowing like crazy again, so I need to see what he wants!

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!

It's Friday!!!!

This has been an awfully hard week to get thru. Nothing bad has happened, I am just very happy it is Friday! I am going to venture off my boring elliptical path tonight and try to take a hip hop dance class at the gym...... I will let you know what bone I break when I trip over my own feet :-). I didn't pack my stuff to go to the gym right after work, so I figured I might as well wait to go until the class starts. Nobody knows me there and Ryan will be long gone, so I can't make a fool out of myself in front of him (like I don't do that often enough anyway.......). Speaking of Ryan -- today is his birthday. A wise ol' 24. Yep, he's still a baby :-). Anyway, happy birthday to him. And no I didn't get him anything. He might get a text message this afternoon! He, he!

Well, all is a little better today in the office. I have been working on an issue so I really haven't been tuned into anything else that is going on anyway. Friday's are always quiet here -- esp. during the summer, so that means I can get some stuff done.

Another bizarre note: I read a headline that stated Pat Robertson is now a "convert" to the concept of Global Warming. The fact that I agree with Pat Robertson on anything might just be a sign of the end of the world.......... I can't say he is a nut job on this issue. That frightens me :-).

Well, have a happy Friday. I plan to have a nice, quiet one. Mike and I do not have big plans and I am okay with that. I think we are going to see the new Will Farrell movie -- I have heard it is pretty funny. Will is great in anything so I am sure I will enjoy it!

Later!

The joy of friends

I was thinking today that I am so blessed to have such good friends who love me no matter how silly I get or what mistakes I make. I had to deal today with the worst group of women who would rather tear each other up and talk behind each others back than support them and work out issues. I try to stay out of their negativity and total childish behavior. However when it is near you for 8 hours a day, it can't help but infect you. I am lucky that I have Mia and Jen right at my finger tips on email. Michelle doesn't have regular access to email so I can't always chat with her. And now I have Mike to support me through days like this. He listens (or reads, I should say). And then, he tries to make me laugh. Which he succeeds at often! So, I am here to thank my wonderful friends for being supportive, beautiful influences in my life. I made it through the day and got in a good workout. And I get to see Mike after his test tonight, so I am very happy!!!

The Office is on so I am going to watch that!!! Later!

Wednesday.. oh boy.....

I really don't think I have too much to report. It is Wednesday and life is still good. I had a good workout with Ryan last night and am in a fair amount of hurt! We switched up the workout again, so I am not doing those "power workouts" anymore (at least for awhile). Well, I kept asking yesterday if we could go back to them! He kicked my booty just a tad. Always a good thing, but he did get death stares yesterday :-). I still have to have to get in a spinning class this week - he made that one of my cardios. I am not looking forward to it, but gotta get it done. I will tell you if I survive it :).

Not really much else to report. Work is going well, except for some reason, this week seems to be negative week! All the people at work seem to be doing a lot more complaining than normal. I stay in my little cube and ignore them, but sometimes they just seep in and I want to tell them all the hush!!!! Oh well. I will just let them be. They will reap what they sow and if they put that negativity into the universe, they will get that negativity back! Plus, it is kind of funny to watch them act like 12 year olds.

Well, later!

My Weekend

It has been hard to get into the swing of things this morning. I have accomplished some stuff, but I am still so tired. I might actually get out for lunch and take a walk to the Bank of America building to get the blood flowing. It only feels like 93 degrees, according to yahoo weather -- so I will only sweat a little :-).

So, the weekend was very good. Friday, I slept and slept. I don't find that at all wasteful. I was tired! Saturday, I did my normal workout with Ryan and ran some errands during the day, along with brunch (more like very late lunch) with my mom and brother. Saturday night, I had dinner with Mike's mother, sister and brother in law. It was the brother in law's birthday and they were celebrating at Maggiano's (hadn't been there in forever. It was soooo good!). Mike didn't really understand this, but I was just a little nervous meeting the mother and sister. Come on, the two important women in his life meeting another potentially important female is a big deal. He didn't get it :-). I kept fretting over what to wear, but I have to say, I was presentable and looked good :-). The dinner went well, and from what I understand, I got thumbs up. I really liked the family so all is good. (In case you are wondering, his father passed away several years ago. That is why there is no mention of him.)

Sunday he spent studying and I ran more errands and cleaned my apartment like there was no tomorrow. However, that statement really doesn't make sense, because if there was no tomorrow, I sure as heck wouldn't be cleaning :-). I finally got some big things crossed off my list so I felt very productive. We then went to Mia and Brian's house for dinner. Mia made some awesome pasta and homemade bread. It was all so good! She is such an awesome cook! We had a great time at their house and of course, Mike got thumbs up from them. Like there was any doubt :-).

Well, time to get back to the grindstone. I have some letters to produce this week so I need to get going on them. Those fun letters that I have to keep every legal consideration in mind. Not as fun as writing a persuasion paper :-). But that is why they pay me! Later!

I am going to brag right now......

I just got back from the gym (because, really, with Mike in school during the week, that is all I have :-). J/K of course!!!). Met with my other man, Ryan, and went through my normal workout. I ended up doing 210 lbs on the leg press!!!! Okay, so it was only 5 reps, but man, I was proud!!!! Okay, enough bragging:-). I met a gal during my warm up who just started working out with a trainer. She was pretty nice. She was asking me who my trainer was because she might be switching to another one. I said all these great things about Ryan -- and she pretty much figured I liked him since I had been with him so long. Anyway, we get started and I tell him that my lower back has started hurting. And he shrugs his shoulders....... I almost hit him. He was kidding of course and we did a stretch that would help the back. I guess if he doesn't talk to me or joke with me, then I should worry!

So, not really much else to write about. Jen is home from her vacation and we are happy to have her and David home safe and sound!!!! I can't wait to see pictures!!!

later!

The Weekend!

The trip to Austin was so much fun! Mia and I got a late start on Friday morning, which was totally okay. Her Chihuahua, Paco, had wasn't feeling well and she wanted to make sure the little guy was stable before we headed out. Paco is the canine version of Simon. Just about as crazy :-). I saw Mike, got some errands run, and updated my ipod, so I thought I was having a productive morning. The drive down was pretty good.

We checked into our hotel and tried to settle in. Mia calls me and tells me there is a weird smell in her room so I checked it out. Yes, there was definitely something wrong! I took one sniff and walked right out! She changed rooms and then we got ready to go to Barton Springs. If you have never been there, you must go! It is a natural spring that has been formed into a swimming pool type area. The water is 68 degrees (from what I understand, it is that all year round!). Yes, going from 100 degree heat to 68 degree water puts a shock on your system, but not if you go in gradually. It felt so good and really cooled us off. We did a little swimming and then laid out a bit. Aveeno sun screen really works. You can't tell I got any sun!!!! I am still pale :-).

After Barton Springs we went back to clean up. By the time we got back to the hotel, the band had arrived. Perfect timing! We decided to get ready to go eat and hit 6th street. Apparently the humidity in Austin, the soft water and the lack of a hairdryer actually make for great hair conditions. I thought I was going to have to shave it all off, but it ended up looking pretty good - not just my conceited opinion. Mia said I should wear it that way more often. I just don't think I can replicate it!

We decided to take a cab to 6th Street since the guys weren't leaving for awhile and traffic/parking was a pain. We ended up with the rudest cab driver ever. Bad, bad customer service. There was no tip for him....... Any way the restaurant we wanted had an hour wait. And the band started playing in an hour, so that wasn't going to work! We ended up at a Mexican food place near the club where the band was playing. It was actually really good! The guys had just started playing when we got there (yes, we even got called out on being late by the lead singer.......). I thought they played great. All in all, a fun time on 6th Street. I guess I don't remember it as jumping during my college years as a visiting Aggie. It was pretty interesting!

The rest of the weekend wasn't as exciting as that. Sunday I spent some time at Borders where Mike was studying. We talked a little and then I just went and found magazines to read. It was nice to just be there with him. I had to leave to get my hair done. Now I am a tad blonder than I was before! Natalie came over and did the highlights. The rest was spent watching a movie with Mike and eating the yummy Central Market food he brought over. We ended up watching "Transamerica". That was a great movie! I was having a hard time convincing him that Felicity Huffman is actually a very beautiful woman. When I showed him her picture, he was amazed at her transformation. She had an amazing performance in this movie!

Okay, it is almost time to hit the gym. I slacked off yesterday so I need to hit it hard today!

Later!

It's Mini Vacation Time

Woohoo! Today was my Friday and I can tell you I am so happy. It was a long day. I can truly say I have become someone they now can throw things too. I juggled all day but it was all good. The frustrating part was I had to deal with the same idiot all day long. She just wouldn't go away. I had to be at the gym at 5:00 so I did what I could and left in time to get there and changed. It was a great work out and got out all those frustrations of the day! Ryan continues to kick my booty and all is good. I even hit my weight goal this week so that was nice considering last week's frustrating weigh in. I am back on track!

Welp, I am off to Austin tomorrow and I am looking forward to the trip. I will get some pics to post of all the fun! I will be home Saturday but I am not sure what the rest of the weekend will hold. We will see! I know some of that time will be with Mike, but who knows what else we will do.

Have a good evening and a happy Friday!

Tuesday Update

There really isn't too much to report these days. I had a nice, relaxing weekend. Jen and I had dinner at a great place called Cafe Madrid. So, so yummy. Mia was supposed to join us, but she was running late and ended up having to drop out at the last minute. We will just have to go back so she can enjoy the yumminess of that place. I ended up seeing 2 movies this weekend: "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Strangers with Candy". Both were very good. I loved the book so I was happy to see that they did a great job on "Devil". And "Strangers with Candy" was just freakin hilarious! I need to see it again because I think there was a lot I actually missed. I actually cooked dinner this past weekend too. I hadn't cooked in a long time and it was nice to actually be in the kitchen. It is just very hard to cook for myself. So, Mike gets to be my guinea pig :-). He did like the Vegetarian Rice Tacos. I have a new recipe to try out on him this coming weekend. This will be fun :-).

Mia and I are headed to Austin on Friday morning to see Saints and Sinners there on Friday night. I can't wait. It will be fun to head down there, even for one night. I am sure I will have lots of great stories!

Well, that is it for now! Later!

The Dental Hygenist is my friend.....

Or so I kept repeating this morning as she was poking sharp metal objects in my mouth. I know it is a necessary evil and I want to keep my great teeth in my head, it still was the least amount of fun all week. I would rather be on an elliptical for an hour. Going fast the entire time. And then have a 'Ryan' workout. I was in pain, let's just say that (it will teach me to floss more......). Oh, and NEVER have the Strawberry flavored fluoride -- that stuff leaves the nastiest after tastes! I can usually handle the other flavors, but never, ever again with this flavor!!!!!

As I was checking out, I had an interesting situation come up. They called to check the status of my eligibility since I just got this insurance. The front desk was told that while I became eligible for insurance on June 1, I didn't have eligibility in the month of July. Um, huh???? That is a new one for me. I ended up paying out of pocket and came back here to talk to my company benefit help desk. She was pretty helpful, but she had never heard that happening either! So, I am awaiting a call so we can get this sorted out. No reason to have insurance if I am going to have to shell out for the whole darn thing!!! I will keep you updated.

Other than that, there is nothing new to report in the last 24 hours. Tomorrow night, I am meeting Jen and Mia at Cafe Madrid for dinner. I haven't been there forever! It is a great Spanish restaurant with Tapas and awesome Sangria. I will be a good girl (mostly) since I have to work out in the morning with Ryan, but I can have one glass. "Stranger's With Candy" opens this weekend too. I can't wait to see that! Amy Sedaris is so funny and totally amazing as this character. Mike and I going to see it this weekend since we were both fans of the Comedy Central show when it was on the air. I will have to shell out for the DVD set next pay period.
