I need to make cookies for my sister's shower, so I'll probably start on that today/tonight (I'm WFH, shower is next weekend). I think DH and I are going to go gliding tomorrow. Sunday, I'm teaching in the evening. I need to get some more work done on the baby blanket for my sister, too!
Tonight I'm going to an outdoor showing of Hidden Figures with a newer dance friend. Tomorrow I'm going to my city's Pride parade and my friend's afterparty. Sunday I plan to watch the world cup.
I had a really nice first date yesterday! Some things I'm still rolling around in my mind (we shared A LOT), but he's nice and cute and kind of a nervous dork like me. The only bad thing was that we were sitting outside and eventually there started to be cockroaches around. One was right by us at one point, but got the most part they stayed away. They were the big ones like I occasionally get in my apartment. It was so gross, but I did my best to focus on him and on our conversation.

My random is that I finally found a car that I like (I've been casually looking for 6 months or so). It's a service loaner with super low mileage. We negotiate a price and I'm happy. Then, the sales guy discovers the car I was looking at isn't eligible for Certified Pre-Owned yet as it has to have 4k miles or 4 months in service. He mixed up the one I was looking at with another loaner that has almost the exact same options, the same exterior color and a very similar interior color scheme. I felt bad for him as he was mortified. I am going to look at the one that's eligible now but I have a feeling I may just wait the 6 weeks until the one I want is eligible.
Nothing much planned tonight. Tomorrow I will probably garden a bit then I'm going out to dinner with my mom and my aunt who is in from OOT. Sunday we are doing a family picnic.
I'm currently seething because a coworker is really overstepping his bounds and inserting himself into my work without asking. When i asked him nicely to stop, he gave me a really curt remark about how he won't "help" anymore, and is now sending passive aggressive emails my way.
It's not help if i don't need it and it's creating unnecessary steps in a process, and confusing hiring managers as to who's in charge. Stahp.
This weekend should be fun though! Going to dinner and a show (audra mcdonald) tonight, and then this weekend is a family reunion on my dad's side. A bunch of my relatives from Alaska will be there and I'm so excited!

Liking for the good stuff, per usual.
tiramisu , owl cookies. I couldn't decide between two different designs, so I think I'll make both and see which ones turn out better. DH can have the leftovers lol. They're both essentially just sugar cookies.
I'm sooooo tired today! Had date #4 last night and turned down a sleepover and/or sex. I kinda like this guy. I didn't get home until almost 1 AM, then couldn't shut my brain off, so I'm dragging. I think I'm going to take a nap in a bit! Thank goodness for flexible schedules and working from home!
No plans tonight and tomorrow I'm running around looking for penis things for my friend's bachelorette party. Sunday DS and I are working at the Tough Mudder, with two of my friends. We have to be on the road by 4:30 AM. Ugh. I'm tired just thinking about it!!

Ugh...my company lost a subcontract that I was 50% time on. It's not our fault at all (the client said our prime had too many subcontractors, and we were just unlucky), but we have some history with the company taking over our work (they've stolen work from us in the past), so it's galling to have to hand everything over.
At least my manager found some other work for me, so I won't be screwed with losing that much project time.
Good Lord, I cannot believe I made it to Friday without choking someone at work. Long story short: we are using some new software for some of our super basic accounting functions. Like I am talking basic fucking adding and subtracting. These people were having such a hard time with change that I created spreadsheets to basically look like the prior software. They cannot figure it out. I mean these morons are seriously struggling with how to balance a checkbook. How are you in finance???
I have to go in tomorrow and if even one of these idiots is in tomorrow, I am going to lose my shit. I do not work on the wknd for fun, I so it to get caught up. Do not bother me.
I am heading over to my parents house shortly to watch tbe WNBA tonight. Tomorrow night I have a wedding reception and Sunday I plan to do laundry and meal prep during the day and then I might be going to the wnba game that night.
No major plans this weekend. Spent today at Books a Million, Michael’s, and Target. I really like browsing, but I also had a few gift cards I was able to use. Definitely a good way to shop.
Tonight I have plans to watch the DVR and the Harry Potter marathon on USA.
Tomorrow I need to review a client contract and do the regular weekly shopping.
All in all, a quiet weekend spent doing the things I want to do instead of focusing on everyone else’s plans.
