Today has been so slow I'm beginning to wonder if anything is plugged in... I got to 'sleep in' today until 5:45! (yes still AM unfortunately) why? Because I am gong to a professional working group thing tonight and i didn't want to be in the office from 6:30 AM until 6:00 PM - there are limits. Instead I strolled in at 7:50.. there are alot more people on the road later in the AM - oh and that driving in the daylight thing - over rated. After all why in the world would you want to see what you may or may not hit at any given moment? A chubby chick's heart rate can't take that... but it did get the blood moving this morning. The would explain my car pooler's morning twitches I guess...
Ah but I digress... Besides being a slow work day; I have put in a phone call to the vet, emailed Bubba a card because today is his birthday and generally tried to pick off things from my to do list. I said I tried I haven't been as productive today as I have been the last couple of days - but a girl needs a small breather doesn't she?
I got home last night and enjoyed that quality time with the dogs known as "Shelby barks until dinner time, and then chats at Violet until she eats her dinner - or mommy puts it up." then I went to a much enjoyed massage, and a small bit of smack talk from the massage therapist who just happens to be a Baltimore Ravens fan... *sigh* takes all kinds doesn't it? He's good at his job... and the rest well - I just wear something yinzer on Wednesday nights and we move on. ;-) He commented on my Steeler socks last night... they were warm and these days that was needed...
Lately Mother Nature's hot flashes are not much fun - oh sure Tuesday night; when I was outside with the dogs in 60 degree weather it was fab - but that flash was over Wednesday and we're back to January weather which is COLD. But I state again you don't have to shovel cold.
Tonight I am going to a professional women's working group thing... my mentor says this is a good thing. OK... room full of tall skinny professional women and me. Maybe. Who knows - but if they are all blond I'm leaving. :-)
The parental units are headed to Vegas for a week - I hope it survives! LOL They will go, have a good time and come back with lots of stories - including being 2500 miles away while the neighbor is invested with his group's pseudo- knighthood for a year. Go enjoy a show, pull the one armed bandit, walk about those hotels, eat too much and enjoy the weather... and why didn't we go with them??? Oh yeah that Bubba has to work thing...
Today as I had to drive in myself I came up with a list.. (I know!) But it was a list of the big ticket wishes for 2012... perhaps I will print out the list and hand it to Bubba... after I have the funeral planned. That was wrong... it won't kill him - it will however probably raise his blood pressure.
Well - it shouldn't- let's see...
A vacation this year... a whole week; a cruise or heck camp but AWAY for a whole week
A lap top computer - yes I know I have a PC but I want a portable unit (Bubba thinks this is TOTAL waste of money)
My chubby girl surgery - covered by insurance or not this is getting done THIS YEAR. So I'm willing to let go the lap top
Re do the bathrooms in the house - also probably killed by surgery as Bubba has some sort of genetic disorder about spending big bucks on more than one thing in a year...
My word - my wants are extravagant aren't they?
Of course there is Christmas, birthdays, hair, nails and of the ever popular "Lodge Crap" which will also suck up some discretionary spending... all of which Bubba considers useless... I however consider them REQUIREMENTS. Home girl is SO not going without the magic potion of hair color and pretty nails... waited too long to let myself be a girl.
All right-y then... I am off to enjoy the quiet office as it is past 4:00 PM and the place has basically emptied out... I'll let you, the 2 people reading this drivel, know just what Professional Women's groups do... who knows I could get lucky and it's Playgirl and Cosmos! Or not...
