So, we were going to go to the ballgame today, but decided against it for several reasons. One, the weather looked kind of iffy and it was way humid. Two, I feel a cold coming on and I just wasn't feeling like sitting there for that long. Three, ballgames have gotten pretty pricey and I'm about to make a huge purchase. So, probably best to skip ( Read more... )

I hope everyone's 4th of July was awesome. I had a great time up my sister's house. We got there a little early to help her set things up. Well, we finished that up while my mom fed Connor. It was hilarious when we got there. Mandy goes to put my trifle in the fridge downstairs and yells when she sees what I was wearing. Apparently, we bought ( Read more... )

Happy 4th of July!! I hope everyone has a great day today. I'll be going up to my sister's house for a cookout. I just finished making a fabulous Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle. I had little leftovers of all the fixings for it, so I assembled a sampling for myself, since I've never made it before. It was to die for, if I do say so myself! It's ( Read more... )

I am. I'm a dork. I've known this for a while. My friends know it and are okay with it, largely because they are all dorks about something too. Why am I so dorky, you ask? I'm going to see New Kids on the Block!! My sister got tickets today!! Well, actually, my sister's friend got tickets for us. She's not going. But she doesn't work and ( Read more... )

Despite the fact that David Cook is far superior to David Archuleta, it appears evident that Archuleta has American Idol in the bag. How can you go up against a Jonas Brother-type singing the ever-inspirational, Imagine? He and his father are not stupid. For his part, David Cook delivered three stellar performances. But when isn't he stellar? ( Read more... )

I read The Host over the weekend, written by Stephenie Meyer of Twilight fame. It's her first foray into the adult genre, more specifically scifi/fantasy. I must say, I was a bit wary. I'm not a huge scifi/fantasy fan. I've read some here and there, but I usually don't stray towards it. And I've loved her teen series so much, I was afraid my ( Read more... )

Woohoo!! I have gotten to really love Mondays. We have the managers' meeting on Monday mornings, which kills the first couple of hours. Then before I know it, it's lunchtime! Then it's usually an hour or two and I'm home! What's not to like about that?!

Sunday was a good day. We went to the movies and saw Leatherheads. It wasn't the best ( Read more... )

I had a quiet, uneventful, yet enjoyable day off today. I hope to have one tomorrow as well. I do so enjoy these weekends off. We ran errands and had lunch. I spent most of the afternoon here at home, catching up on stuff on my DVR. In between shows, I was watching the Masters tournament. I'm not a huge golf fan, but I do love to watch Tiger ( Read more... )

My vacation continues. I was actually sort of bored today, so I'm looking forward to returning to work in a couple of days. I'm sure that will change after my first rude customer or opening shift. I'll have to schedule the rest of my vacation time when I get back. Unfortunately, due to the economy, Disneyworld plans are scrapped for this year ( Read more... )
