Long Memorial Day Weekend

Yess!! We finally get some decent time off. Well, I could of gone to work today and Monday but...nah...I need some time off. Last thing I want is to over exert myself and then I wind up calling in sick. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I see long days ahead. The end of the month is here and we're still a couple of million off from the goal. On Friday they treated us to lunch--they ordered in pizza. Poor Julia, the one day she's gone and we have food brought in. Oh well. Everything is going okay. Too bad that the weather doesn't look too promising. Yesterday it rained and there's rain in the forecast until Tuesday. Ha Ha!!

Next week looks promising because there's the play at the park and we also have a tv preview screening to go to on Saturday. Sounds exciting, I can't wait. That's about the only thing promising on tv land since the viewing season is over. Nothing but reruns from now until September. Oh, the pirate movie is supposed to be coming out this weekend but I am not sitting through three hours of movie plus previews. I don't need to watch it that bad. When the second part came out last summer we went to see it a few months later and believe it or not I thought it was the biggest piece of hogwash since they declared mission accomplished in iraq. It was long, boring and a little bit overplayed. It reminded me of the lord of the rings movies. "Die already". The biggest turn off is that I couldn't really understand what they were saying because of the "accents". Moving on....Still haven't seen spider man 3. No time. It's also a two and a half hour movie and I just can't see myself wasting that amount of time no matter how good a movie it is (heard it was boring). I have precious quality time on the weekends and there are other more important things I could be doing w/that time.

Waiting till 3:30 to go pick up Maggie @ the vet. Took her in this am for her next scheduled vaccinations and I was told because she had a previous allergic reaction that they should have her under observation today. They called me @ about 1:30 to let me know she was doing ok and that I could go pick her up later...so...

Mom sent me some pictures we took during our last outing to the valley a couple of weeks ago. We went over for mother's day. This is our Mother's Day breakfast outing. No biggie, same thing, same place same boring food but I guess it's the thought that counts. We couldn't stay for long and after that we left town after a stop and the in laws. All in all it was an okay weekend. Can't complain. Well, you can but no one will care. Sounds familiar? Well, nobody ever said life was fair. Gotta go pick up Maggie but I'll be back some other time. Have yourself a safe and happy Memorial Day and in between those bbq's and shopping sprees remember the real meaning of the holiday: to honor our service men and women both past and present for their work. We thank you all and may God bless you and keep you safe where ever you may be. Yes, that's right, I said GOD. Want to make something of it???

Lazy Saturday

Had to work this morning but I'm out of that hell already. Nothing new to report: SSDD. I was able to catch a couple of season finales on tv but that's bad news cuz everything after then will be reruns. Except for House which ends the season in a couple of weeks. The ones I'm sure a lot of people will be looking forward to are the big DWTS and American Idol endings. God, I sure hope Laila doesn't win. She's slow and boring. As for American Idol....who cares...I think the girl will win (see, that's how often I see the show, I don't even know her name. Maybe tomorrow we can catch a movie but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I submitted another poem to be published, this was for a British volume. Cool. I know if I took the time I could come up w/other stuff but I'm lazy.


The weather is nice and cool outside, maybe I should take Maggie out for a bit. Until later...

Is it May already?

Hey there, boys and girls....I finally return to you....It's been a soggy couple of weeks since it's been raining for awhile. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as in Eagle Pass where they got a tornado. The only bad thing about all this rain is that now the lawn needs to be mowed. Again. There are all kinds of colorful flowers in the front yard I'm surprised they lasted this long. We planted all kinds of seeds for wildflowers and we are finally seeing some results.

No major news on the horizon. Another month came and went @ works and we still didn't meet budget. Prepare yourselves for the outrageous goals for this month. Didn't go in this weekend, maybe the next one. As it is I put in about six and a half hours of ot but no more for this week.

Maggie is right here besides me all nice and quiet. Unless something happens outside she'll jump up and bark and scare the hell out of me. But she's behaving.

Went shopping last weekend and bought me another pair of shoes. That makes 2 for last month. Considering how picky I am about shopping that's considered a miracle. Bought season one of Supernatural and I just might watch an episode or two today. When it came out I couldn't really watch it cuz it's kind of scary and I was still having the panic attacks but now that I'm feeling much better I can finally enjoy it. I still can't watch really, really scary movies but this is progress. At least I can watch a suspenseful movie w/out my heart pounding. Anways, there wasn't that much to watch on tv. On Monday watched Heroes (which I recorded for J) and finally watched yesterday. It was cool but now they're back in the present. Watched some of DWTS and fell asleep. It was boring....not that may wow performances to speak of. Unfortunately someone had to leave and it was JRat. Too bad, though, he was nice. Something tells me Billy Ray will be the next one to go. That leaves the better dancers on the floor. On Tuesday we had a gas leak here and I couldn't watch much tv but I recorded House anyways. Ha!! Watched some of it but I guess I can watch the whole thing today. Got the whole day to myself and I can do WHATEVER I WANT!!!!! Didn't watch American Idol but from what I hear Chris and the other guy got voted out. They're down to the last 4 w/only one guy remaining. I really don't watch it I just want to hear go goes and who stays. On Wednesday Criminal Minds spooked me as usual and I loved it. Thursday was Smallville and Supernatural. At least they were new episodes and w/May being Sweeps Month maybe we'll get more in preparation for all the season finales. Haven't watched CSI for awhile now, not since they started w/that story loop about the miniatures killer. Puhlease....The only sad thing about a Friday is that there wasn't much to watch. As a matter of fact there was nothing to watch. At all.. This weekend sees the release of the new Spider Man 3 movie. I hear it's 2 1/2 hrs long so I don't know if I wanna go watch it but then again if it's an exciting movie you won't even notice the time. Maybe. I just might wait until the big hoopla is over and go watch it then. Hate crowds. Went to see The Invisible last weekend and it was ok. It's been awhile since I've seen a "Wow" movie. Maybe my luck will change w/all the big summer movies coming out.


Today is Cinco de Mayo. How does that affect me? Not in the least...moving on...

This June will be filled w/activities to do and hopefully we'll find time. It's the annual Shakespeare in the Park series. This year it'll be The Taming of the Shrew. I don't know much about it except for the fact that the movie Ten Things I Hate About You is based on this play. Not much, huh? So it guess I'll do my homework so the evening won't be a complete waste of time. Not that it will--even if the play stinks it's still nice to get out for some fresh air--it'll be at the Botanical Gardens. June will also be the first of the Concert Under the Stars jazz concerts so that'll be nice too. Maybe I can leave work early provided J's off that day. MAYBE.. Wish me luck.. If not there's always the one in July and August.

Well, gotta go, things to do....
