Wow...

I just re-read my post from last week and all I can say is that I must have been on some good drugs when I wrote that. Random thought process much? Geesh.. sorry to anyone who read that acid induced ramble.

Have a great short work week!

Until next time -

Happy Long Weekend!

Boy, the last few weeks have just been a whirlwind! Most notably, we had a British invasion last weekend - the Thumps came to visit and I got to play with the little monkey (a.k.a. Baby Thump) for a couple of days, which made me exceedingly happy. I'm at my happiest, when all of my people are in the same state, let alone the same country, so I loved having them here, I only wish they could have stayed longer! I followed the family Thump back to Indiana and stayed through most of Sunday.

And now we have a long weekend. I plan to see the new Indiana Jones movie, maybe do a little cleaning and otherwise relax with friends. I am also looking forward to catching up on a little sleep. Maybe do a little grilling, enjoy some sunshine!

In movie news - I saw Ironman on Tuesday. It was pretty good. The action was great. The effects also good. Robert Downey Jr played the part of the rich, spoiled drunk pretty well too! They gave a little more of the backstory than I needed, but I guess if you are trying to set up a franchise, you would want to. If they have a sequel, I will go see it, the movie was fun. I cannot wait to see Indiana Jones and Chronicles of Narnia. If the weather goes bad this weekend, I may go see both!

Well, I'm off to sta
rt my long weekend! I hope everyone has a fun, sunny and safe weekend! I leave you with a funny - those kids do the darndest things.


Until next time -

Woohoo! I Feel Like Dancin'!

Not for any particular reason, I'm just in a good mood today! No cold, no flu, nada. Back off germies, we're having none of that around here...

It's so beautiful outside. 70's and sunny - my favorite. I was sorely tempted to play hookey today, but we all know I am way too much of a workaholic to do that! So instead I stopped on my way back to the office from Court and had lunch with some friends. During lunch I found out that the Jones' are expecting baby number three (or possibly 3 and 4, or more, who knows with the Jones'!)! Congratulations guys!!! I am very happy for you and excited to have another baby to look forward to spoiling!

Then I spent dinner sitting outside enjoying some Malnati's pizza and great weather. I love this time of year (when the weather is as it's supposed to be)! It was absolutely perfect.

This weekend will mark the 12th wedding anniversary for my brother & SIL - holy crap. Twelve years, Congrats if you guys are reading this! It's amazing that they have been married that long. It's crazy that we are old enough for them to have been married that long. It kind of freaks me out to think about actually, so Congrats guys and I look forward to babysitting this weekend so you can celebrate. My neices have already informed me that we are having movie night, so that should be fun. I am guessing we will be watching The Water Horse or Alvin and the Chipmunks!

And now I should finish up and get out of the office. I like to at least pretend I have a life!

Until next time -
