Have you seen the sun tornado?

There is the video - pretty cool - and something fun for a Friday...

Sun tornado - Thanks Nat Geo...

Moving on to life's more mundane things... including me struggling with a diet, Bubba being - well Bubba, and life in general just getting in the way.   Let's see after Tuesday's extra long day and me managing to piss off 2 wives, my car pooler and one of the testers... I have apologized again and again neither of these women work.... I say nothing here...........  ahem.   Moving on.   I cooked Tuesday for Valentine's Day, I cooked new receipe Wednesday healthy stuff, last night post dealing with Girl's group paperwork that was now late - and a run to the bank to make the deposit so that the check I wrote would be covered... paying an outrageous fee to  Fed Ex to Baltimore - I could have driven it myself cheaper - but ... that whole working thing.   And I can track the package... so I'm paying for the cool technology and the gas of the 3 trucks it will take to get it from point A to point B.

So after all that I really wasn't in the mood to cook, so I called Bubba asked if he would mind picking up dinner which digressed into stupidity of who knows - then finally he agreed to pick up a pizza.   I made salads.  Which surprisingly I managed to work into the diet.   I am a lazy person at heart and all this cooking and planning and crap is starting to make me crazy.  I know me I need to plan ahead better, and lay out most of the week - lunches, dinners and such that way when I get home from a long day it's mostly done and tended.   Today some helpful harry brought in doughnuts (but you don't have to eat them)  DO you KNOW me?  Yeah I had one, counted it - figured lettuce wasn't such a bad lunch and broth for dinner would be very filling - after a brisk 3 mile hike.  I'll be fine. (you are over reacting) - and I'm starting to hate that inner voice of mine - she used to be a lot more fun (we're starving here)  Yeah -a lot more fun.   

MOVING on...  I am not starving - I've had doughnuts - doughnut.. singular and I can't walk across the hall where my team sits or I will be tempted by the sugar, flour, fat, fried to perfection, with chocolate, sugar glaze, frosting - and ... (STOP - STOP NOW....)  Ahem.   Carrots - carrots are pretty, and orange and crunchy and ... (not doughnuts) good for me.. and our waist line and they are zero points I can have as many as I want, and Shelby likes them and --- who the F am I kidding?    oh SO moving on from this.

So, the week that was - was too farting long, but we are leaving early today - Monday is a Federal Holiday - and while I am working Monday it will be in blue jeans and mellow with a planned lunch out... probably a salad.   (NO!) This has got to stop.    Anyway - quiet weekend also planned with Beauty day Saturday just made a hair appointment and the magic potion will make that strange white color in my hair go away for a bit... plus I'm going to let her cut away - the last time I did my hair looked great!  Bubba will have to just suck it up.   You do not have to fight with long hair at 5:30 in the AM darling husband - it's on my head - hush you face. 

Tuesday promises to be fun in all the wrong ways - I have to go back to the girl doctor for another test - and they tell you take a couple of Tylenol about an hour before - there might be some 'cramping'.   Oh goodie.  Then to work, as we have our weekly staff meeting and another afternoon meeting -then I go to ANOTHER  chubby surgery doctor... up side?  This doctor takes BOTH of the insurances - so minimal out of pocket expeneses, which make Bubba happy - but wait until he has to fight VA traffic to take me to the hospital.  No comment.   The rest of week post Tuesday should be a freaking cake walk.

Having a Spa Day party next Sunday - still don't know how I got talked into this - but I did.  Bubba will be pissed - as frankly he can just stay downstairs and watch TV - or go somewhere - and I could tell him exactly WHERE to go... but again wandering down dark and twisty paths... whatever.

Hey - guessed who just called to yell at me because my phone didn't disconnect properly and he can't delete a message until the end?   LOL!  Oh well... is it my fault your voice mail system sucks?  Ignore it.  I got his usual answer of no idea what time he will be home - fine.  I'll be home early, and yes dear - again - I will take the poopy job of cleaning up the back yard, and unload the dishwasher - and reload it - and wash the pans that don't go in there, and get Shelby some kibble so she can have dinner tonight - and load up your shirts for the dry clean run Saturday - before I get my hair and nails done - and then planning next week's dinners, lunches and other necessary items.... I should have gotten something more than that small bundle of flowers on Tuesday---- butthead.  OF course the only thing he mentioned was the back yard - the rest in Bubba-land are the area of the magic fairies - these things just happen...


Ok so I had better enjoy my last 'free' weekend, because next weekend is the Girl's group book sale, the Spa Party on Sunday, then EVERY weekend in March is booked.   Ah - Maryland Masonic organizations and their yearly turn over.. March is a very very busy month.   What fun - and I usually managed to screw up a greeting or handshake between the kids, the ladies and the Shriners.... fun and fun.

Basically if you want to contact me - do it at work, I'll need the nap.  :-)

I'll try and post after make-Ing-lovely-day - also known as Saturday.... if we really like the haircut might post that too... don't hold your breath.
