Weekend!

I do love days off...it's that sleeping in till I wake up without the help of the alarm clock that makes it so wonderful! Even so, I tend to wake up around 6 a.m. as that is 3 hours later than my usual wake time.

Plans for the weekend are somewhat minimal. A hot shower beckons in a few minutes, than a quick straighten of the house. We're going to make a quick trip over to the outlet mall to get some decent work shoes for hubby. I've been trying to convince him for months that a pair of MBT's would be ideal for his work situation, but at $200/pair, that made him very resistant to the idea. I DO understand this! I bought my first MBT "style" from the AVON catalog - Curves marketed a shoe and for $39.99, it was worth the try before laying out big bucks.

Now Sketchers has come out with their version at roughly half the price of MBT's and that's what we're going to go check out. Few places are carrying the men's styles, but the outlet mall is supposed to have them. I think R will notice an immediate improvement. I certainly did! My core ached for the first three days and at the same time, all my leg pain stopped. That alone made it worth it!

He wants to spend some time looking at televisions as well. That part of the trip I'm just not anxious for. I'd just like it as well if he'd go do that part by himself. I think I'll suggest he drop me off at home so I can continue to get things accomplished. Poor Hannah looks like she's joined the Rastafarians, and even though I think she's cute as can be, it's time to get her combed out and groomed. I need to take pictures of her before Valentine's day for a joke gift for one of my guy friends. He calls me a few times a week to inquire about "The Poodle". I always tell him his "girlfriend" is fine. I've also threatened to give him a picture of her, framed beautifully, to put on his nightstand so he can see his "girlfriend" every night before he goes to sleep. He is such a hoot about "The Poodle"

Tonight I'm going to meet up with my girlfriend Dena. We've gotten into the terrible habit of staying out way too late, so I have learned it's a good idea to go out with her on days I can sleep in the next day! Don't know what we're going to do, yet - might be nothing more than watching a DVD, but it will be nice to so a little socializing!

Anyway, time to get away from the computer for awhile and start my tasks!

Hope y'all have a great day!

Slainte!

Welcome back Kate - even I've only been here about a week and a half myself, the first few days without you weren't nearly as nice..aka I missed you too!! :)

(Blame the sleep deprivation..it sends perfectly sane women quite positively loop the loop!)
