Friday I got off work at 3:30, went to the gym for a little time on the treadmill and then used a free ticket I had earned at work to go see Up in the Air. I was the only person in the theater, which made me wonder... do they play the movies even if nobody is there, or were they playing that one just for me? I'd think it would be easier to just ( Read more... )

My mom is in the hospital. She was having some really bad stomach pain so she went to the ER this morning. They think it's something with her pancreas and are going to be keeping her at least for tonight and running some tests. Let's hope they find the problem soon and that it's nothing too serious ( Read more... )

Today I: slept in, messed around on the laptop until around 1, washed and put away dishes, balanced my checkbook, searched the house for things Casey could use for a science project, found out the date of the next open gym for her, looked into a rope climbing place she wants to visit, called the bank about getting a credit card renewed, called the ( Read more... )

I finally have heat in my house! Got tired of waiting for my cousin's friend to get his butt in gear and called an actual company, who came out later that same day (Saturday) and fixed it. Temporarily apparently... I guess he's coming back tomorrow to replace the module thingy. Whatever, I'm just happy to have warmth ( Read more... )

So I guess it snowed the tiniest bit last night, obviously a freakishly rare thing in Florida. Casey had been told at school that it should snow in the wee hours of the morning (like 3ish) and she decided she was going to stay up and wait, but alas, we were both out cold before 11. Ha ha, we're just old farts. No trace of anything out there this ( Read more... )

So it's been a good day off. I really just needed a little peace so I could think and get myself organized. All the dirty clothes have either been washed or are in process, I loaded and ran the dish washer, wrapped presents, made a list of the last few gifts I need to buy once I get paid again, balanced my checkbook, and then went to JC Penney.

I finally got the internet working on Casey's laptop, so here I am cuddled up in bed AND online at the same time. Woo. Welcome to the 21st century. LOL ( Read more... )

I had a great time at happy hour Friday night. Drinking, flirting and dancing are some of my favorite things, you know. Aside from the beers and the buttery nipple shot (which Christine's nephew Jason bought me), I also tried a Snickertini. It was delicious, but very expensive so I won't be making it a habit. Tons of people came out, but they ( Read more... )

We watched Iron Man last night. It was good. Kind of dull for the first hour, but then it picked up and got really interesting. Robert Downey Jr. is pretty much my favorite actor ever. I used to have such a crush on him, with those puppy dog eyes and all that talent. He's not quite as cute as he used to be... maybe all those drugs. But he's ( Read more... )

Saturday - After sleeping in and reading in bed for a bit, I headed out. I stopped at the vet for some dog food for Willow, and then went to Casey's gym to talk to the owner about moving her up to the team ( Read more... )
