05/14/10 Friday!

Today after work I got my hair done. Just trimmed the layers and got it a little darker. I love it. Then I went to Karen's to help set up for the engagement party. We made her chandelier into a purple Alice in Wonderland like show piece! Curtis came over later and helped too.

05/13/2010 Reminiscing...

Today was pretty good. I got a lot done! I got a dress for our engagement party and I helped Curtis and our friend Dean out with a project that needed a photo of pom poms as reference. So, I dragged my old cheerleading stuff out. It was fun to remember my high school days. Go Saxons! Or, as Curtis pointed out "They're Iron Man colors!" So... GO IRON MAN! :)

Spicing things Up!

Today we got free samples of spices at work! That was a nice surprise! It was a better day all around. Work wasn't too bad and I had a better night as well. Things are looking up again!

Tuesday Blues 05-11-10

Today was icky. I woke up with a sore throat. I was 10 minutes late to work and work sucked. It just sucked. All day. From 8:10 am until 6 pm. Even my 45 minute lunch (to make up for being late I took a shorter lunch) was kind of crappy. So, yeah, not a great day. I didn't get to work out, I didn't get a nice walk with Frankie. It was just a no good, very bad day. Bleah. My photo is of my office building since that's where I spend all my time now.

May 10th. AKA 50 Cent Day?

I was told today is 50 Cent day. I thought that was clever. :) Today was alright. I may just be adapting to this whole working for a living thing. I woke up early, worked out and then went to work and then came home, rested a bit and then walked Frankie. Then it was dinner time, a little tv and now I am actually all caught up on my blogs too! Hooray! But now I have to go because it's bed time! ALl in all today was alright. Not great, not awful. This is me saying it was "so-so". ;-)

Mother's Day

Today was Mother's Day. We went to my sister in law's house to celebrate. We had a really good day. We ate good food, talked, laughed and Frankie, me and my nieces bounced on the big trampoline a lot! After things died down Curtis, me and my sis in law went to Target. I love Target. Then we called it a day. I think all the mom's had a great day!

Oh! We also made shrinky dinks with my nieces! That was fun! I love to color those little plastic pictures and then watch them shrink up in the oven! Who doesn't?






Afterward Curtis and I went to see Iron Man 2. It was good! I liked it. I think I liked Iron Man 1 better over all but I really like Scarlett Johanson so that was nice in this one.

All in all a great day!

More Catching Up!

Okay, I am getting caught up on these daily posts!

Sunday 05/02
Sunday I cleaned all day. REALLY cleaned. I was a spring cleaning machine. Later we went to Target. We ran errands. We worried about Curtis's Uncle who had to have emergency surgery. He's doing okay though. Thank goodness. By the end of the day I was exhausted and the only thing I could think of to take a photo of was the tag from my "bride bag" that my friend Julie bought me.





Monday 05/03


I did laundry. I made the bed. I worked. This week is off to a rip roaring start! :)


Tuesday 05/04
I worked, I ran errands. One of the errands involved Mother's Market so I got a giant salad for me and Curtis while I was there. It was good. Really good.




Wednesday 05/05
I read tonight after work. I am really loving my Sookie Stackhouse. :) It was a quiet night. Work is killing me. I am constantly exhausted from these early mornings. ;-)



Thursday 05/06
I uh, forgot to take a photo this day. Sorry. My bad. I was in a bad mood. I was supposed to go to the Midnight double feature showing of Iron Man 1 and 2 with Curtis and our friend Dean. Instead, after work I went home and pretty much collapsed. I've been coughing and again. Looks like the cough is back. Great. I blame my job and working in an office.

Friday 05/07
Tonight Curtis and I took Frankie for a family walk before heading out to dinner. We tried a place called "Fire &Ice" which is an "Americanized Mongolian BBQ Experience". What we didn't knw was that they also had a salad bar and the whole place is all you can eat. Suffice it to say we stuffed ourselves silly. It was a fun place. There's a big grill and they cook everyone's food on it. The chef's are all supposd to be entertaining and for the most part they were. I wish I had not been so tired and I wish I had felt better and I wish that I had known it was an all you can eat place. As it was I felt unprepared for that experience, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I think it would be fun to go back with a group of people. It's a very social place. The pic of the day is of The grill and of Curtis and the grill. :)




Saturday 05/08
Today me and my friend Karen made bouquets for mother's day. It was fun! We went and got a whole bunch of flowers and then mixed and matched them to make different bouquets. My photo is of my mom's bouquet. I added some flowers from my garden too.

After that we went to dinner with Curtis's parents and his sister, brother in law and nephews. It was a combo Mother's Day/Birthday Party for Shane. It was really fun. We all had a really good time. :)
