It was nice to get some work done without kids understep today but I missed them all the same except the arguments of course. They were ready to go back to I bet to see their friends and get away from each other. Just got back from walmart with stuff needed for dinner tonight. Its an easy dinner but one of dads favorite /hotdogs:) I hope you enjoyed your days off.I’m going to finishes upstairs mess. Well I love You sis.LOVE,MeLinda

Today was a productive day for me.

I dragged Harold to the store for some organizers and did some grocery shopping.  When we got home, I cleaned up and reorganized my desk, did the laundry, balanced the checkbooks, paid some bills, entered those, gathered trash, changed the litters and went through some of my junk and tossed stuff I no longer need.  I did good.  =)  I even cleaned the windows to my truck…..just need to vacuum it out.

Tomorrow I need to get a few more organizers for the garage, so I can attack that.  Harold has a doctor appt. and I have the bug guy coming by again.  Damn carpenter ants.  =(

Then I really need to attack my online work…..I only have 3 more days off….I need to use them to the fullest….I don’t want to go back for at least another week.  =)

I started off the day with some major self-indulgence…..grin  I had my spa appointment at 9:30, started off with a 25min deep message………damn, my muscles needed that.  Then went for my deep pore facial, that took over an hour and when they do facials those  also includes messaging the neck, shoulders, arms and head……  If you haven’t had one, you need to.

Well, I had some $ left on the gift card and decided at the last minute to see if they could fit me in for a hair coloring……grin  I’m now my favorite burgundy/purple color, at least for the next week or so.  I haven’t done that color in so long…..it was wild to see the change.  In fact when I showed the girl the color I wanted I could see the surprise on her face since it is so different from my natural strawberry blonde…..  It came out great.

Considering that I did nothing for the 1st half of the day, I’m pretty proud on how much I got done today………grin

I got all our receipts entered from last year……….that was about 2 months worth.  Got the majority of my files ready for next year, I need to pick up some more folders to finish it off.  And now I just need to balance the checkbooks and pay a few bills and the office paperwork will be caught up.

I’m not sure of what I’m doing tomorrow.  I have a list of things that I want to attack, just not sure where I want to start.  But it also depends on the games going on.  If there are games on, I’ll find something to do in the office or bedroom.

I really want to attack the garage, but I’m not sure what I want to do container wise for my books.  I think the reason why I’ve been thinking about the garage because it is kind of packing for Portland.  It’ll help me take stock of  what we have, what I should get rid of and what not.

I do have a lot of things I need to do online, but I work better with the TV off and music on for that.  =)

We did get to watch the Colts win!!!!  GO HORSE!!!

And we just say the Seahawks pull it off!  Hot damn!  Cowboys are out………grin

Today was better at work then yesterday. I had a lot to do, but didn’t feel as overwhelming. I wasn’t able to get all that I wanted done, but I still got a lot and it helped me to get a head start for Friday.

I was thinking of switching shifts tomorrow to a mid. I like the day shift, but sometimes it wears me out sleep habit wise when I try to get things done here at home. When I work a later shift, I get my sleep, time to get a few things done before work and I have enough energy to get things done when I get off. But Harold made plans with friends tomorrow night and I have the next 5 days off………so if I stay on the day shift I start it earlier. That was a hard one to turn down, but the plans have been made.

My list for my days off is long, I just hope that I can stay focus and get some of it done. I do want ONE day of nothing but reading, chilling and being a bum……don’t know if I can do that……lol This is my first “vacation” with out any major traveling in god knows how long. I love to travel, but when there are things to do around the house…….I just don’t want to go anywhere.

Time to head to bed, thankfully I don’t have to have a “bedtime” for a few days starting tomorrow……….grin

It has been a long day.

A project at work took much, much longer then I wanted and just wore me out.  It didn’t help that I keep getting interrupted, but that is the nature of the beast………  I finally got it done, about 1hr after my shift ended.  I just wasn’t going to leave without it being done.  I have 2 more days with tons of work to do before I have my “mini” vacation.  We have some important visitors coming to by when I’m off and I want to get as much done for my co-workers to make it easier for them.

I did get my stuff that I ordered for my Ipod………grin  I have a case where I can either wear it on my arm or on my belt and I have a charger for the truck.  So all I need is a wall charger so it doesn’t have to be plugged into my pc all the time, which I didn’t think about it when I ordered the 1st time……..doh

We have the LSU/Norte Dame game on.  We’ve rooted for ND in the past (when they aren’t playing a Big Ten school……….lol) but we just don’t care for the coach.  Just too damn arrogant and don’t like his attitude.  So we are pulling for LSU.  Besides after what they went through with Katrina, it would be great for New Orleans.

It has been a very long day and I have a long one ahead of me tomorrow.  So I’m going to watch the half-time show with Bon Jovi and head off to bed.

(I just wanted to use one from the game)
