Tuesday Randoms

Today is going by much slower than yesterday.  For some reason, my Mondays always fly by.  Tuesdays usually start sucking the life out of me.

I am leaving early today to take T to get his flu shot, and then maybe heading to the mall to see Santa.  He doesn't know/care/talk about Santa at all, but it should be a cute photo op.

At 4:00 I will be officially halfway through my work week!

Re: Tuesday Randoms

  • This week is going to drag.  Today is my slow day at work.  I really have nothing to do.  I did a lot yesterday.  I should have saved few tasks. 

    I have a Subway gift card to use for lunch.  I'm excited.

  • The pageant dress rehearsal was last night.  I think it's going to look pretty good on Saturday.  I've done some venting here, and it's been mighty frustrating.  But last night, I sat and watched a run through, and looked around at the kids trying to pay attention and get their parts right, and the parents in the seats beaming.  And I felt kinda warm and fuzzy.

  • I agree   I just want this week to hurry up. We have been pretty dead.

    Awww how sweet.  That's what it's all about.  Smile

  • Enjoy the Subway Wop!

    GL with the play, GRSP.  Seeing thoes smiles means that hardwork/frustration was worth it.

    Work is dragging because I'm too busy dreaming about this place:

  • I can see why you are dreaming, JuliD. Wow. I'd definitely be too excited to work if i were you.

    GRsp - I am so glad that your rehearsal went well! Your patience and hard work are paying off.

    You are going to have the most wonderful trip.  Trip of a lifetime.  Seriously, I loved every minute there!

  • I don't currently have a laptop that works. 

    With starting school again, I probably need a computer.

    Looking at books vs e-books, I think I want a computer.  The cost of e-books is less than half of physical books.  I could use the "savings" towards the cost of a laptop, to justify it.

    Plus I'd love to be able to upload, store and edit my photos again.  Hmmm...

    And I do realize we are about the last household on the planet to not have a working computer at our house.  There was one point when we had 3...but they have all since died and we never replaced them.

  • I got jalapenos on my Subway pizza and now my lips are burning.  It's a deep burn!

    Haha.  Exactly why I posted it.  One of the most quoted movies between Nick and I.  So funny.

    You betcha.  He's lifting weights with his shirt of.  It's boring, but it's his life.

    Milk was a bad choice.

  • As a follow up to my post from a week ago about Restaurant Recs. we ended up with Bonefish Grill. It was delish and delight full. Very crowded but I think that is expected for a friday night. They did get the reservation mixed up a bit. I had it for 7pm under our last name and they listed it as 7:15pm under Burkmeister. I'm not sure how one confuses meister with holder but OK. I would recommend again. 
  • Might have to try Bonefish Grill. I went to Kopper Top last night and it was awful - an hour wait and the burger which I ordered well done was raw :-(

    As a follow up to last week, DH's grandmother passed away. Also I went to the specialist for my ears and they can't find anything wrong, I'm supposed to wait a few more weeks and see if it goes away, meanwhile taking Bonzine for my "seasick" feeling and Tylenol for my ear pain. Woo hoo.Tempted to go to an acupuncturist.

    Sorry for your loss.  :(

    I hope they figure out what is wrong and that you feel better very soon. 

  • I guess I will add to the follow-ups.

    My uncle has gotten his pain mostly under control and should be headed home from the hospital tomorrow.  :)

    He was supposed to have an MRI on Friday night, but they couldn't do it because of his pain, so it's been rescheduled for Thursday. 

    I think things (pain-wise, at least) are looking up.

  • Here is a Merry little reminder that if you don't back up for computer's hard drive already please do so. We have had 3 separate clients lose all data b/c their hard drive fails and didn't have a back up.
