Monday again...

Yeah here i sit, so broken hearted.. oh wait a minute, that is something else...
Well this past weekend was one for the books.. book of nothing.. because i did nothing, went no where and it was good.
Widespread Panic was in Raleigh on Friday and Saturday and i had a few friends that were at the shows. Being a two hour time difference, it was great to start watching the set lists coming up on Panic stream starting at like 5:30. My boyfriend and I settled in to the sofa, had the baseball game on the TV (that would be rockies and dodgers) and the panic show set lists coming up on the computer and some texts to my phone and listened to iTunes all evening.. what a great Friday night, until we realized we could do it all again Saturday night. so instead of going to the bar opening that we were going to go to, we watched baseball and listened to some panic.. it was great!!!
Sunday i wake up and start the normal weekend morning, get the paper, let the dogs out, let the dogs in, feed the dogs, refill my water glass and with that my boyfriend asked me if i wanted to go to this AWESOME fish house for their Sunday brunch... See this brunch has crab legs ( and you know I am a sucker for crab legs), shrimp, muscles, salmon, fish and chips, seafood lasagna, waffle station, omelet station, muffins etc.. it is a great display of food.. well it is pretty spendy so the only other time we went was when his folks came to visit and we made them take us there for a Sunday buffet.. so i was flabbergasted when he asked if i wanted to go.. I said HELL to the YEAH...if you are seeing the bribe already, then you are WAY better than me, because it took me about half way though my set of crab legs before i realized it was towards the end of the month, which means we will have stacks of magazines that need to be delivered appearing on our front porch any day now.. So, he got me.. I am officially bribed and have to help with the magazines this week... UGH!!! And this weeks is crazy with other stuff going on, which we hardly ever have going on these days.. But tonight is a reception for the stick art guy that has made some stick art at a local park. The invite says food and drink, so I will be there.. Then tomorrow i think the magazines will be delivered, and then wednesday we have tickets to see ROGER WATERS... yeah, the Pink Floyd dude. He is playing the Pepsi Center and we couldnt pass up this opertunity. It says he will do the entire Dark Side of the Moon.. are you kidding me??? anyway, no delivery then and then i have my softball game on Thursday.. so, maybe we will get it done Tuesday night or Friday night..
well I better go check on snack time, and see what we got.. sometimes , if you don't get there right at 2pm, you lose out on the snack...
Here are some things to read while i am gone.. enjoy...

Monday madness

Well It's official, i am not into mondays and I do not want to go to the gym. This past weekend was beautiful and we went for walks everyday. So nice to get out and walk around, but we were on a double mission. While walking we were also checking out houses in our area that might be for rent or sale. We are looking in both categories as to not rule something out just yet. But we are pretty sure we want to move this summer, when out lease is up. Are needs are slightly changing and we are looking for something with a basement and better insulation etc. WE are paying out of our nose for heat and we both freeze in our house, but can't afford to turn the heat up.. Bottom line, we want to move so the search is on.

Today's snack was individually wrapped bite size candies of Twix, snickers, 3 musketeers, and Milky way... I had one of each for the record. Everyone needs a chocolate pick me up on a monday.
Other than that, the sun is shining and I can't complain about that. I am ready for spring, I think mostly because i am ready for my trip to Chicago, seeing panic and enjoying my birthday weekend.

Speaking of birthdays, my mom's birthday is Wednesday!! i think she loves her birthday as much as i do. It's your day and no one can take that away from you.

Alright back to work.. see you all tomorrow. have a great night.. I know I will...
IT'S PIZZA DINNER NIGHT!!!

Oh and Who watched the Grammys? I am so in love with Amy Winehouse and soooo glad she raked in the awards. Her music deserves the recognition. I just hope that she can get her life straight and not turn into the Britney Spears of London.

Ok out for now

But I've got time on my side; And now my heart, all filled with pride; Many days to realize my final plan.

First and foremost, i want to wish the best of BIRTHDAYS to my wonderful, loving, creative, caring and beautiful sister... I hope that the next year brings you nothing but smiles, love and happiness... :) I LOVE MY SISTER!!!! check her page out.

11 days and counting...
So, Monday again. Sorry for the lite postings last week. I just didn't have it in me. But i am back on it this week. I've only got 11 days then off to the beach for a little fun and Umphrees McGee and Disco Biscuit party.
I have really been watching what i eat and using this website that gives you meal plans for trying to lose weight and it is working. I have to get back into that bikini in 11 days so i might as well try. Well last night i was measuring out " serving" of the soup we had and was telling my boyfriend that i can't wait to have three desserts each night, just because i can. He laughed at me measuring my soup and talking about over eating in Jamaica. I have really enjoyed these meal plans and they are totally helping, so i am not going to go totally crazy, and will continue when i get back. but when i am there, i can't go nuts for every calorie my whisky and cokes have or the Mango daiquiri with the little umbrella etc. But i can't wait to wake up and sit on the beach, then have some lunch, little nap, little swim, little dinner and two HUGE SHOWS!!! I have been talking about it all weekend.
I am sure that by tomorrow i will not have much left to say and will start talking about other topics, but for now that is what is on my mind.
So, this past weekend was a fast one for me. On Saturday we delivered these music magazines that we devilver each month. This is the first, so we had deliveries. I am just glad it was on a weekend. The weekday months SUCK> But we spent a lot of the day doing that, then just came home and watched a bunch of TV and laid on the sofa. It was soooo Cold.
Sunday my boyfriend had to cover an event at the Local St. Joesph's hospital. I guess the nuns that volunteer there are HUGE Bronco fans and they watch each sunday religiously,, he he get it??? anyway one Sunday a year they throw this big party for them, basically. Just showing that they are fans. i think. But anyway i got talked into going and there was some food, drink, nuns dressed in their bronco attire and a large projection of the game. It was fun. We thanked the nuns for the glass of wine on a Sunday at the hospital and left. The reason i got talked into going to the nun event is (#1) my boyfriend said that since i went to a catholic high school i shouldn't have any problem going, (yeah didn't make since to me either) and (#2) if i went then we could go to the free day at the science museum. That reason worked for me.. So, we went to the science museum. that was fun.
That's about it for me. Time to get back to work i guess.
Happy monday to all.
