Tuesday was my 36th birthday, but I didn't do anything special that day. Just worked (they did decorate my cubicle) and took Casey to her piano lesson and Girl Scout meeting. Also dealt with back pain that had suddenly shown up that day, probably a result of the accident. But I took lots of ibuprofen, and after I dropped Casey and Danielle off ( Read more... )

Friday my air conditioning was fixed, thank goodness. It just need a new cap and some freon, so it was easy and pretty cheap. After that was done I brought Willow back home from my parents' house and took Casey and her friend Francisco to Target so they could buy supplies for a party they were working on throwing. I gave Casey some money and he ( Read more... )

I've had a really hectic week followed by a very relaxing, water-filled weekend. Work has still been pretty crazy, each day followed by another busy evening ( Read more... )

The party was fun last night. They had some family friends who work at a luau show at Sea World come out and do a whole hula dancing, fire eating performance that was really good. They even had a little 4 year old dancer and she was absolutely precious. I also witnessed a pinata beating and had some pina coladas and birthday cake. Left with ( Read more... )

So, Casey has gone to the Boys and Girls Club camp at her former middle school exactly one day this week. Oh well, good that it's there for her to go when there's nothing better to do. Monday she didn't go because we didn't get the permission slip for the field trip ahead of time and she had a doctor's appointment and therefore wouldn't make it ( Read more... )

Last night, after enduring a really long, boring day at work, I went home and relaxed - got caught up on LJ and Facebook reading, finished watching I Love You Man (really funny), watched last week's The Soup and this week's Bones, and just as I was about to go to sleep at around 11:00, Casey came home from Disney. I'd hidden a key outside for her ( Read more... )

It's been a very uneventful, awesomely relaxing weekend. Slept in both days. Saturday took Casey to my brother so he could wax her eyebrows and trim her bangs and then she spent the afternoon/evening at Brandon's house while I hung out at home and did laundry, paid bills, got groceries, and got caught up on Damages and Law & Order: SVU. Today we ( Read more... )

Friday Casey went home with Elise for the night and I spent a quiet evening on my own at home. Saturday, after I was done sleeping in, I went to Walmart to exchange the sheets I'd bought Friday because, duh, I thought my mattress was a full and as it turns out, it's actually a queen. Washed the sheets and also some towels and blankets, relaxed a ( Read more... )

It's been a nice but fairly uneventful weekend. Casey has barely been home, as usual. She spent all day yesterday at Brianna's dance competition (11:30a-11:30p) and this evening she went to see Wolfman with Brandon. They are at Fudruckers with his parents now. As for me, I've done laundry, a little shopping, sold some Wii games at Game Stop ( Read more... )

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... )
