I've got Bahama Mama's for you today, a fruit punch w/ rum drink that's excellent on a hot humid day like I am having. Although that drink does make me want to be on an island and not in cubicle hell, but I can daydream.
Did you have a nice evening last night? Anything going on today or just same old work stuff?

Oh, no! Pi, what happened?
Last night the window guy came and gave us an estimate... that seemed super high in my opinion. We've got another guy coming soon, so we'll see what he says. Hubby was just like, "Oh well... it needs to be done!" and I'm all, "You will pry my monies from my cold, dead fist."
But... house is cleaned, I repotted my plants, and I went through a stack of goodwill clothes that had been sitting in a corner forever. So, I'm feeling productive.
I stuck a bottle of wine in the fridge for tonight and tivoed the new Dallas. I'm excited to go home! Haha!
I feel kind of "off' today since my sleep schedule was weird-- I went to bed early at 11, but Greg woke me up at 2:45 for sex (guess he had a good dream!) and then his alarm went off at 4:30 since he's taking clients fishing today. I snoozed my alarm 3 times which I never do and I can't seem to wake up.
I am super excited for the concert tonight, though!
It's beautiful here today, and I woke up with a hankering for Chipotle so I may have to take a ride at lunchtime to satisfy that craving. Nothing else going on, just work today and circuit class tonight.

hah, I almost asked if anybody made it a true Hump Day and got some action! But then I didn't want to seem like a drunk AND a horny-toad at 7:30 am so I left that question off.
I'll make yours a Red Bull & Vodka instead of a Bahama Mama, maybe it will help keep you energized until the concert. Have fun!

I didn't have a lunch to bring today so I'll have to go out for food, and Chipotle would be good. Yum!
Pi I hope your day gets better! GLW--enjoy the concert, I hope you can stay awake for it! Darkling--good luck with the windows!
For me, I will also take a couple of the Bahama Mama's, it's one of the few drinks with liquor I enjoy. I am so ready to go back to bed. I am dragging this morning. But, it is supposed to be a beautiful day, so I am trying to get a run in on the trail by work, right after work, and I am kind of looking forward to it! Otherwise, I am just counting down to Friday!!

Yay for a nice day! It will be hot but otherwise clear weather here, so I'm meeting my BFF for skating after work. It's such a nice release right after the work day so I feel you on that.
OPS--I normally prefer to do it in the morning (and get it over with) but I couldn't seem to get my butt out of bed this morning, so hopefully you are right and it will be a good release.

Liz - do you have different shoes for trail running then regular running?
OPS - It's summer and I'm actually not watching any shows right now, so I figured why not? If it sucks, I'll just stop watching it. But I haven't watched a soap (besides Revenge) in years, so I'm kind of looking forward to it!
GLW - if my husband woke me up at 3am for sex, I would be so pissed! Haha!
DG-- Usually the same, though I think I may need to invest in a different pair, if I do it regularly this summer. I normally stick to pavement though, so it's not a huge issue.
I am thinking I will need something lighter for when we go to the beach because I plan on running a lot there.

I woke up 45 minutes early thinking I was late. But I guess not so I tried to snooze but it didn't work that well. Today has not started off right and I don't know what to do.

Annabelle seems to be feeling a lot better. I'm simultaneously impressed and annoyed by her ability to eat *around* a pill in a piece of cheese.
Last night my mom came over for a bit to pick out the photos she wants ordered from our photo shoot. The Husband had a higher up call him at work and ask him to apply for a new (higher) position in a new store, so we discussed how he could prepare for his interview on Friday.
Today we'll go hang out at my moms for a tiny bit to keep her dogs company, since she is OOT all day for a training. That's about it.. really.. it's the only day for weeks that we don't have plans!
Ala - my critters do the same thing lick the cheese until there's only the pill left. YAY for potential promotion! Sounds promising since they sought him out.

Ooh, Missus! Good luck!
Ala - I'm glad the pup is feeling better! I like to give pills in peanut butter. I stick a glob on my finger, stick the pill in, and then wipe it on the roof of his mouth! Haha! It takes him 5 minutes of licking and is the funniest thing ever -- but he gets 3 pills a day, so whatever gets the job done!
My day so far has been great! I left my cane at home for the first time (so it's the first time I've been out and about without a cane or crutches since OCTOBER FUCKING 2ND). I'm not all the way there, I still limp and it still hurts, but whatever. So much better than it was for so long! I'm waiting for the day that I can wear heels again, but that may be a ways off.
And I'm sipping my homemade iced coffee right now because my Keurig replacement arrived yesterday. Ahhhh...I missed this!

Definitely. They also recommended him for mentorship - whatever the hell that means.. and added him to a conference call the other day to brainstorm a bit.
They just called him at home today to tell him his supervisor will be going over a bunch of stuff that she does so he can bring that up in his interview tomorrow and has more knowledge of the new position.

Nothing too exciting going on around here. I just have some battles to take care of today: Insurance doesn't want to pay for PT even after they sent me a letter saying it was approved (and of course I can't find the letter...I'm 99% sure it is in the shredder), the county thinks I live in a house twice as big as it really is so my property taxes are through the roof and they were supposed to call me with an answer by the end of April (no call yet and they keep telling me they have till July 26 to get it taken care of) AND I need to call and cancel my Sirius radio b/c I'm sure as fuck not paying $200 a year for that.
Ugh, just thinking about it makes me want that rum drink NOW.
