I give up......

I decided to take the whole day off today, to enjoy a four day weekend. I was planning on either going shopping with the folks or just hanging out and relaxing....I opted for the latter and what a horrible mistake that was. We had non stop company all day, the phone never stopped ringing (and the cool calls were okay, like from Toni), and "projects" kept getting thrown my way. I believe that this is the Universes way of saying, "Hey you lazy ass! You are NOT allowed to relax and enjoy a day just for you! Who the hell do you think you are? You were put on this planet for the amusement and abuse of others!" I know that is a bit cynical and over-dramatic, but somedays I just feel that way and have to spew it forth for others to be able to say, "Aaaaahhhhhhh........".....

Anyways, I did manage to clean my downstairs bathroom and get blue water on the front portion of the house. I also managed to do a bit more straightening up of my room. Unfortunately, having no energy earlier in the day and doing everything I can TO BE a slug all day, I am getting a bit of energy now that it is evening. I am hoping that I did revive my energy so that the rest of the weekend I can be a bit more fun, a bit more enthusiastic, and a lot more supportive of other peoples' needs.

Remind me not to attempt to relax ever again.........

Good ending....

Left work on a happy note. The "asshole" on my group who drives me to insanity almost daily was put in his place....AGAIN....but instead of by me, it was my boss. He spends the majority of his day not doing is paperwork, but playing solitaire. He has already been caught and reprimanded, but proceeds to do it anyways. Well, my boss watched him all day do this and at around 3:00 told him if he doesn't have anything to do, she will find something. Well, he decides to get lipy with her and she PROFESSIONALLY put his ass in its place and he sulked the rest of the time I was there.....it was delightful since the last time he got an ass-chewing it was from me and out of line.

So, after I get off work, mom and I head down to the mall and I got my nails' done. The Tiger stripe stuff was driving me crazy so now they are a pretty pink, white flowers, and little diamonds in the center on each ring finger. Very girly, but that is the kind of mood I am in. I am trying to come down off of a few weeks of unnecessary stress and enjoy life a little more this week and next.....especially since it is mine AND Janet's b-day.

Oh, and speaking of Janet, she and I are discovering some SCARY similarities that only start with the fact that her b-day is one day ahead of mine...but we won't go into that now....that is more girlie stuff between she and I......tee hee........

Great week.......

The week has been wonderful. Monday was busy at work, but I handled it just fine, even though I worked a 12 hour day. Tuesday, I worked a half day, went home, and moved everything out of my room and scrubbed down the walls, the ceiling, my ceiling fan, and the carpet. Wednesday, I got up and had my parents bed torn apart, the mattress moved out, the carpet cleaned, the walls scrubbed, the ceiling scrubbed, the windows, the blinds, and the draperies all washed and then the moves showed up with all the furniture. Then it was time to put everything back....and then I went out and planted flowers. A much longer day than anticipated, but it was a good day. Today I am back at work and keeping caught up on everything because I am taking Friday and my b-day off, so I will have a nice long 4 day weekend.

Weekend looks excellent because of the Meat Marathon at Toni and Rob's....and everybody knows how much I look forward to their salad that they always make! I am going to spend alot of this weekend shopping with the folks and just having an all out good time.....and it is about time. I planned this weekend out so that I could ENJOY it and hopefully, not spend a lot of time working. However, I might bbq for the folks on my b-day since my daddy lives for my bbq...which rocks even if I do say so myself.

So, there is the week in a nutshell...not nearly as exciting as Connie's has been with the new interest in her life (tee-hee), but better than last weekend!

Hope all is well for the rest of you and I am looking forward to seeing everybody at the BBQ!!!!

Good weekend.....

Friday was horrible.....had the worst day of the entire week here at work and I am not evening going to go into explainng why, it was just that bad.

Saturday, I went shopping with the folks and got the parents to buy a new mattress, which is wonderful, and I got a new bedroom set. Then we met up with the Poors that night and saw "Halloween the Resurrection" and called it an early evening. The movie was okay, better than I expected, and it is always a helluva lot of fun when Jer-bear is a grumpy bitch and Michelle screams through the entire movie. Of course, Michelle and I spent most of the movie grabbing each other's hands, screaming, and making snide comments. Sunday, Dylan and I rented a couple of movies and hung out, hiding ourselves away from the sun. All in all, it was a really relaxing weekend and Dylan MADE me rant and rant and rant and get it of my system.

This is going to be a good week. I am off a half a day tomorrow and all day Wednesday to get my room and my mom's room all scrubbed down and everything moved out and the carpets cleaned. Then I have a half day off on Friday and all of Monday for MY B-DAY. Again, how cool is that Toni and Rob are throwing ME a meat fest for my b-day (wink, wink)!!! She won't even let me bring a b-day cake to their wing ding. Damn, just thinking about their bbq is making my mouth water!!!!

So, there are only 7 more days until my b-day and normally, I would be a grumpy bitch by this time, as I normally really hate my b-day. But for some strange reason, I am looking forward to it this year. Maybe it is because the wind of changes are turning for me....who knows.......
