Hi girls
Happy VD!! Even though it was only a half day of work for me, I was very productive and it flew by but I still had a busy day. After work I took the boys in town to buy lottery tickets for MIL and I got her some ice cream and a hyacinth. They smell sooooooo good! Anyways, MIL was glad to have the company and she looked to be handling today very well.
DH had a horrible day at work. Had one of our best employees just not show up without a call or anything. Nothing makes DH more mad than that! It takes a LOT to Pi$$ off my DH, believe me I know....but that does it every time. He also had a few other things go bad this week and he needs a vacation badly! He is the most pateinet person I have ever met and he is almost always optimistic but today....not so much.
I felt so bad for him. I went to the store and bought him some shrimp and jerky. I set up his recliner with a bucket of beer next to it along with the jerky and newspaper. I also bought him recess hearts (his fav). He came home early to watch the races and we sat and had a few coctails.;-) We relaxed, had fun, and talked it out. He feels much better now.}( LOL! He does still need a vacation though. I wish I could come up with a cost efficient vacation for a few days to somewhere sunny over spring break. I might have to search for something over the weekend. Any suggestions?
I did go and do 4DS LIS and SC. It would've been so easy to skip it but then I would have to w/o on Sunday and I just can't do that! Sunday is the Daytona 500!!! I had a couple of coctails before doing LIS.....I would NOT recommend that. *lol*
Cathy - Yup, the corporate stuff is now done! I feel sooooo relieved about that. But, now the personal stuff.;( I do however, know for the most part how that's gonna turn out so I'm not dreading that too badly. My regular accountant got a partner and so I've been dealing with the new guy and thankfully I like him much better than my old one. He is much easier to talk to, not condescending like the old guy. I hated when the old guy would talk over my head and make me feel stupid and intimidated. The new guy doesn't do that.
I swore this year that if taxes didn't go better, I was changing accountants, but now I don't have to.
That's awesome news about the boards. So this will help with the NB stuff?
Great job getting another early morning workout in. Do you feel more energized in the morning at work now? Like I said before, I envy you...
What kind of plans have you got for the weekend? More NB prep?
Laura - So glad to hear from you. I'm glad you're feeling better but your family is right about the rest. You sure are getting ants in your pants though aren't you? Maybe tomorrow.....
I hope you get some good news on the MRI. It doesn't look like a very fun thing to go thru.
It's not a stretch to think of MIL. She thinks about us all the time and is always cooking us stuff and taking the kids. It was the very least I could do. By tomorrow her hyacinth will be smelling like spring in her whole house. I hope it helps to brighten her day. It was a nice treat for her to have the boys on a weekday and not just on the weekend. She gets such joy from having them over and being able to spoil the crap out of them.
Hey, thanks for the clean eating pass! I bought DH some of those little valentine candies and have been picking away at them myself. I didn't even look at the package to see what kind of damage I'm doing.....and now I don't have to.;-)
Wendy - mmmmmmmm dove candy.:9 Good luck trying to avoid that!
It sounds like a fun weekend no matter how it turns out. Hope DH gets to feeling better soon.
Diana - SB is so much fun! I would've had tangled feet with that one tonight for sure!
Great job on the loss!
Did you say GS cookies??? Ug! Impossible to resist....
I was glad today was only half day but now I get a 3 day weekend to look forward to.;-) Don't get too jealous though b/c I haven't done any housework all week so I have some catching up do do.:-(
Enough blabbering for now...........
