Tuesday in snow

So it feels like the calendar went back a few months today. The high is about 35, and it has been raining and snowing all day. Compared to yesterday & sunday, I think all the Moms in Colorado should be glad they got the day they did. And to be honest yesterday, I just couldn't do it, work I mean. I just could not handle a whole day in this small office area with my cell mate. I had a pretty emotional weekend and I just had no energy to come in and play nice. So, I played hooky instead.
And today i got a reward. I GET TO MOVE OFFICES!!! Yeah.. It is a smaller place, with actual cubical walls and other people sitting close, but it is SO MUCH BETTER than where i currently am. MUCH BETTER. but with my luck, there is always a delay. ALWAYS. So, since today is raining, i have to wait until tomorrow to move, because i have to move tape decks and a computer and a monitor to another building, so i will wait. one. more. day. OH and another thing, I will be able to bring my dog to work with me, everyday!!! SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. He is my security blanket and it will be great having him with me all day and I know he will feel the same.

So, what was the deal this weekend you ask?? Well again, to be honest, and that's really the only way i know(not a good lier at all)- I don't do well with change. even self induced change. Just doesn't suit my way of "just riding the wave until i am forced to change" lifestyle. So, i kinda freaked out. I am starting to get cramps, which is a few (yeah like 5) days early, which means we are closer to the "start trying date" and knowing us, i don't think we are going to have any issues. so frankly, i am about change a lot of stuff and I freaked. Just sooner than planned and I am not a "surprises" kind of a girl-hence the planned pregnancy. Yes even five days is enough to throw me for a loop.
I had to take a LONG walk with my dog and kinda get the tears out and get myself together again.. turned into a longer walk than planned, but i felt better by the time I got back and feeling my boyfriends excitement and confidence is kind of contagious. So, dealing... I don't know about how well, but it will be better by the time it needs to be.
Enough baby talk...


SURVIVOR!!! oh my god, did you see it.. I am really psyched that Parvity won. She made all the best moves and came up with all the great ideas.. (convincing Eric to give up the Immunity necklace- dumbest play ever) but it worked and she won.. I am really happy about that. Although I do think that Amanda deserved to be at the end, I think she played by riding coat tales (ozzy's and Parvity's) and that kind of play doesn't really deserve 1 million bucks. Kicking three boys and a girls off by a blindside four times in a row, that deserves 1 million bucks for sure.
Big Brother starts this July (the 13th for those keeping score). mark your calendars now.


Thats really about all i have to share. We went out sunday night and saw a band, but other than that, we did a lot of being home this past weekend. Got some stuff planted (that is freezing as we speak) and got some housework accomplished. Not to mention some Denny's pancakes on sunday. Yesterday I slept a lot, played some games on the internet and did some laundry. My boyfriend was going to come home early and have some lunch with me, but he didn't get home until 1:30, then we had to go take a picture of a burned house for the newspaper. Apparently this guy was working on his antique corvette or something and it backfired and actually caught the garage on fire, but it quickly spread to the main part of the house and boy, when we saw it yesterday, i was a sad sight. Oh and I made some stuffed peppers in the slow cooker this weekend. They were (are) good. Had them for leftovers yesterday too..
Ok, here's your fix.
















Sorry that was for me... Here's your's

One long week, a few short nights

We had beautiful weather, temps in the upper 70's low 80's and then today, BAM, out of the blue (well out of the north to be exact) it starts snowing.. yeah friggen snow in MAY.. worse yet ON MAY DAY.. yup, just about had enough.

Softball was canceled due to weather for tonight, and to be honest I couldn't be happier... I really didn't want to play at all today.

We went to see Roger Waters last night and really all i can say is WOW!!! I mean if you are like me and figured that you had missed your chance to see any live Pink Floyd (not playing covers) and had resined to be ok with it, last night was a dream come true. There are so many times and events in my life that seemed to be connected to a lot of Pink Floyd and to be able to hear those sounds coming from a composer and writer of the tunes, is truly a once in a lifetime chance. Unless you see the show multiple times, which we are not. It is hard to describe, so i wont.. but i can just say it was great, exactly what you would have wanted and then some..

I am on my second day of Qdoba. I don't know why but the chicken quesidilla was so good yesterday i had to go back today and get another, and today's is just as good. I love that place.
