Dear Diary Friday...

Four days until my very first plane ride...WOO HOOO! My biggest fear, a horrible movie playing that will get stuck in my head for the remainder of the day!

Yesterday ended up not being so bad. Like a moth to a lightbulb, kids flocked to me and would not leave me alone...but they were not too irritating. We took my friend's three kids to lunch for pizza, cheese bread and salad and had a WONDERFUL time....they were actually really freakin' funny. The stayed right until the time I left and all of the booger-eaters in my area had to give me big hugs, pictures they had drawn, and promises to come have lunch with me again. They all got to go home, loaded up with sugar to cause their parent's nightmares for the remainder of their evening.

Today, gonna leave work early and get my nails done, take the pups to get their hair done, grab some dinner with my hubby and MAYBE get some shopping done. There are a few essentials I am still needing for the trip. Tomorrow, I am taking my Mom shopping all day....gotta get her out of the house before she kills my Dad. Sunday, Dylan and I are doing an all day cleaning/yardwork festival.

Dear Diary Thursday...

So today is "Bring your kid to work" or, as I like to call it, "Lorene's Personal HELL" day. And, as sick as this is, I am actually looking forward to it because two of my friends are bringing their kids and their kids are actually FUN and NOT annoying. However, I have already started to hear the little booger-eaters starting to come through the door, crying, whining....all the things that make me want to kick them all in the head or put them in the trunk of a car on a hot day. Oh, and the other reason I am somewhat looking forward to the two kids coming in....I won't be WORKING! I figure if they are bringing kids in, that makes it offiical that the rest of us get to play too....right????

And let me just share with you how my morning started...two dogs running around the backyard like they were full-on insane, playing in the rain....and then wanting to run around the inside of the house....which they did, totally drenched and smelling like wet, dirty dog ass! I ended up going through three towels trying to dry them off, turning on the air conditioner, and lighting candles to get rid of the smell!!!! But it was hilarious and a great way to start my work day.

Dear Diary Wednesday...

Oh, let the PMS BEGIN!

Yep, it has happened and I am in a pissy, pissy mood. It probably does not help that I have been trying, REALLY TRYING, to have a better attitude about a particular situation at work but between what happened yesterday afternoon and this morning, I am about ready to scream at the top of my lungs. Now, I know, that most of this pent up frustration has more to do with the fact that my snatch is bleeding than anything else, but work has PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF! We have an entire team that does NOTHING. Yep, they come in and do NOTHING and get paid a helluva lot more than most of the other teams who work their freakin' asses off. Now, the reason that this team does NOTHING is because they are being "phased out", but CHRIST ON A CRUTCH, do your fucking job until it is gone! And, if that is not enough to be frustrated with, they are not made responsible for their lack of inaction. Nope, not even a little. Now, I know if it was your or I in our job, and we just decided not to do anything for 8 hours, we would probably get in trouble, more than likely fired....but not this whole fucking team!!!

Ah well....only 6 more days until Maui.....I am beginning a chant.....

Dear Diary Tuesday....

Last night was so uneventful that it actually pretty boring. After a very hectic day at work, I went home and Dylan and I made dinner, I took a bubblebath, read, and then we went to bed. Boring, boring, boring....

Today is our weight in at WW and I am actually REALLY looking forward to it. I am very sure that it is going to be good for both of us, which is a good thing since we will be eating like piggies all next week and most of the week after that in Maui. I am going to try and somewhat stay on the low carb part of my diet while I am there, however, I am not going to deny myself trying anything new...oh, except squiggly looking seafood and stuff that I can not pronounce.

Speaking of next week...one week from today I will be on an AIRPLANE! I am so excited about my first plane ride! Dylan is putting some movies on my Ipod, I am taking a couple of books, and we have a splitter for his Ipod so we can listen to music....I am READY! And I am most excited to experience not only the take off and landing, but looking out the window! WOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! And if it turns out that I just can't handle it, I have good drugs.....

Dear Diary Monday...

What a wonderful weekend! Let's catch up...

Friday I left work early and headed home to get the bushes in my yard all trimmed and pretty. We had a huge clean up project in our neighborhood on Saturday, where they bring in a bunch of dumpsters, so I wanted to get as much done. My Daddy and I got the entire front yard completed before we got tired. I then went and got ready and Dylan and I went to dinner to the Olive Garden, and can I just say that going without carbs for four weeks, Olive Garden was AWESOME!

Saturday I spent the day doing more yardwork and then Dylan and I went and did some shopping, picked up some food from the Wing Coop and headed home to watch the pay-per-view fight....it was WONDERFUL! We had so much fun just screaming at the t.v.

Sunday we got up and had Costco shopping to do, and a few other things (like get his Dad's b-day present) and then headed home where we made dinner and watched a movie.....it was a great day.

So, all in all, what a great weekend!

And the countdown is on to Maui.....
