Tell me your plans and all your randoms!
My plans: nothing, not a thing, NADA! I'm so excited! Other than a riding lesson tomorrow, we have nothing planned. I think this is the first time the entire summer that we aren't running around like crazy people.
Randoms: I love my new car. I'm tinting the windows this weekend so I look badass, lol.
I have a heavy debris dumpster scheduled for next weekend! Let the garage demo commence!
Demoing the garage is going to suck so bad.
Why? I would think slamming a sledgehammer around would be satisfying.
Okay, this is going to sound dumb, but I'm not in as good of shape as I use to be. H and I were pricing sledgehammers yesterday and the 8lb one is going to be hard for me to swing.
I use to be so strong! Now all I'm thinking about is being sore and how to keep my Kid from being injured.
I don't have any plans for tonight but tomorrow is yoga and buying a new fan for our bedroom. We bought a fan for our media room and since we put that up our usage on our power bill website has gone down by half. We want a larger fan now in our bedroom. The media room is on the top floor so it has all our toys. We bought a neat two blade fan so we can access our attic. We also hung the television. I am still happy it is up. It can be pulled away from the wall or tilted so we can see it from the deck. Now we just need to hide the wires from the xbox and other stuff. That's H's job not mine. This is the only room in the house that feels the most complete.
I don't really have much planned for the weekend. Just some gardening and house crap that I can't put off anymore. Yay? Thomas the Train is in our town for the weekend, so it's going to be insane here. I think I will just stay at home and be a hermit for a couple of days.
I can't wait to relax this weekend! I have riding lessons sat and sun morning (one with my regular trainer and one with a guest trainer for a clinic hosted at our barn) - I think we're going to prepare for Larry and my first horse show next weekend! (We'll be in the itty-bitty jump division, lol)
I have spent the past hour on the phone with IT while they attempt to assign a company Blackberry to me. I'm really biting my tongue to not point out that newer/better technology would make all our lives easier.
NOOOOOOO! Take the Blackberry. Especially if your "newer/better technology" has you checking your emails on your personal phone.
My plans are kind of on hold until I find out in a few hours if I have pink eye or not. I woke up to a major red eye that itches like hell but no goop is coming out. When I get pink eye, there is always goop.

Ugh I just had this a month ago and for the first few days I had no goop. I just thought I had an irritated eye. I hate pink eye.
I also hate that I had to throw away all my eye make up.

I feel like a little kid every time I get it because to me it is a kids problem - not a grown ass adult's issue.
Luckily I have not touched any makeup in over two weeks so I think I am safe there.

Yeah, I have a company cell now too. At first I was going to ask them to just pay my cell phone bill and I'd use it for both. Then, I realized I can actually turn the company cell OFF on the weekends/vacations/etc. Needless to say, I changed my mind.

My niece asked me to be her confirmation sponsor so I have to go to Boston the end of next month. My boss wanted me to go back up there for work purposes so I'm combining the trips. Which means a free trip up and back, half my meals paid for and half the hotel paid for. Woot!

New company has a rule that all employees must take at least 5 consecutive days off without logging on/checking anything. Those who fail face disciplinary action (perhaps they have to re-take their vacation? LOL). I love it.
That's hilarious and awesome.
Side note: my new boss loves horses. Her H used to be a trainer and plans on doing it again after he retires. She had all these pics in her office of her, her H and racehorses.

This is common in banking-- except that it is usually 2 weeks. It's a security protocol. Two weeks is apparently enough time to figure out if you have been gaming the system.
I have to go back to work on Monday. I'm not ready!
Today I'm going to read and clean, then go on a date. Tomorrow is cleaning/chores, then the beach and a bonfire. Sunday I'm supposed to have a coffee date but since I scheduled it I've gotten a weird feeling about the guy so I may cancel.

It is nearing lunch time and I've accomplished next to nothing aside from emailing the people I met at a networking thing in Seattle yesterday. One in particular keeps emailing back. This makes me smile.
