Re: I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day randoms
Good job Desond! I'm glad that made you smile.
My class is from 6-10 tonight, and 8-5 tomorrow. Same class. But at 5 (but more likely 4) tomorrow, I'll be done with this class! Wheeee!
Yay for Des! Major points!
Over before you know it lady!
Double wheeee! Hope your Saturday flies by.
Year-end report turned in and strategic plan updated.
Now I need to focus on other stuff. All my office mates are gone today, hence the nesting (and nothing getting done)
Mol: Way to go husband! I wish my H did stuff like that!
I. am. bored.
Of course this will be the Friday where I really need a nap, and we don't get out early.
I think we're doing pizza for dinner tonight. Yay for not having to cook!
I'm bored too Wop. And will be having pizza (and salad) tonight too.
I'm getting my hair done right after work. I can't wait. Kickboxing killed my "do".
Random question time: What do you do for yourself when you're having "me" time? How do you relax?
After only 2 hours of sleep last night, I can't figure out how to word this well enough to put on my FB wall, so I will just put it here:
Thank you Komen Foundation for changing your mind. 7 years ago, during a routine check up at Planned parenthood (see I didn't have ins at the time, and PP was the only place I could afford to go) they found a lump in my breast. It was then removed before it could change into something much much worse.
I enjoy going to Barnes and Noble cafe for a dessert and a cup of coffee or walking around Target with a nice cup of coffee (I like coffee). Sometime's I'll go have lunch by myself. The last time I did that I went to Uccello's and sat at the bar. It was nice to sip a beer and eat a cheesy calzone while kind of spacing out/people watching.
Jeez. I'm glad they caught it Mira.
Postbaby, I hop in the computer and try to catch up with my friends.
Sadly I do not have nearly enough me time right now and that is something I need to work on.
Mira, I'm sorry you had that experience and glad that was caught. I also think that's very well worded.
B&G: class IS my "me time." Except for the very occasional girl night out, I don't get much time when away from Henry (and Willa, after 3:30).
Sounds like good "me" time Wop. I miss Borders. My reward for finishing the semester would be to visit the bookstore. Sigh.. I don't know if B&N can replace the connection Borders and I had.. guess it will have to.
Uccello's? Is this another WM eatery to add to my list?
Mira, you make a good point. Nesting is "me time." I think of them as more of "mental health minutes."
B&G, the next time you're here, go to a Schulers. They are an independent chain w/ 3 stores in W. Mi, and one in... Okemos? Back when Borders was alive and healthy, Schulers had some affiliation w/ them.
Uccello's is an awesome Italian sports bar/pizzaria (they have a nice dining room too). Nick and I love it. We've never had a bad experience there. Always great food and great service. We actually went there for our anniversary last year. Very low key as we just got pizza, but it was by far one of the best celebration meals we've ever had. They just opened one in Grandville right by Rivertow mall. There's also one on Lake Michigan Dr. in Standale, one on East Beltline and 28th, and one out in Caledonia (not sure the road).
Cool!. Thanks for the bookstore rec GRS and for Uccello's, Wop. i think we'll be doing a lot of exploring this summer.
To answer my own question, my "me time" consists of reading non law books, watching movies, doing puzzles, nesting, looking at houses, etc( WM has some gorgeous estates). This summer I hope to pick a different corner of the area and get to know it. I want to get a new bike so B and I can get more exercise and enjoy outside more.
I thought about getting certified as a spinning instructor when I was in better shape. Maybe I'll look into it again.
I am so sorry you had to go through that and am glad to hear that you are doing well since then.
So grateful that Planned Parenthood is available to women and men during gaps in insurance.
about time lol
It must be "do something nice for your wife day".
Enjoy your me-time!!! And your coffee!! And the quiet-ness.
