It's Monday

Back on the grind after a relaxing weekend. I took the “kids” for an extended weekend edition walk Saturday morning. The weather was SO nice, damn near perfect fall temps. I cut the air off and let all the windows up when I got back home. That reminds me, I need to go stock up on some fall themed/scented candles like pumpkin spice, apple somethin or another, etc. It always makes the house smell sooooooo homey! Since football season is upon us, the tv occupied most of Z’s time. The big Razorback –v- Alabama game was Saturday. I heard (as I didn’t watch) it was really good. A last minute score with just seconds left on the scoreboard allowed AL to take the win. That had to suck……oh well. Saturday evening, we went to the video store and got a few flicks: GhostRider, Sherry Baby, and Blades of Glory. Ghost Rider was cool…. nothing spectacular, I fell asleep on Blades of Glory (not because it was bad but because I was sleepy by the time we got around to watching it) but I don’t think I missed much. Sherry Baby was not bad , not good just okay, the story line didn’t really go really as deep as it could have (IMO) but that Maggie Gyllenhall chick did a pretty decent job (sans her saggy boobs). The plan was to go to the movies last night but I wasn’t in the mood to sit in a theater so that plan got scrapped. I ended up flipping back and forth between the boring ass Emmy’s and “Muriel’s Wedding” (which was a very good movie!) until I realized the movie was much more interesting. I had always wanted to watch it but up to that point never had and had no idea that it starred Toni Collette (who I just love). If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out sometime. It’s one of those quirky little films that just takes you right in (at least it did with me).

Sidenote: I am listening to a song on the radio and the voice sounds remotely like Will Smith…..something about “the party starter”. Does he have a new song out? Never mind, he just confirmed my suspicions by saying his name at the end of the song. I don’t like it, it’s corny.

In other news, my boss will be out of the office until Thursday AND we get to wear jeans all this week. I didn’t find that little tidbit out until I got to work this morning and saw (most of) everyone in denim. I asked my neighbor E-40 if I missed the memo. Apparently, I did (as I am not on the distribution list that sends out stuff like that) because you get to wear jeans the last official week before summer is over and shorts on Friday. *does the tootsie roll* . I’ll be washing all my dirty denim and diamonds tonight to be prepared for the rest of the week. Work in general is boring. The primary software that I use is so easy that it’s ridiculous. My main challenges so far are the people (isn’t that normally the case, lol). They are nice but you know as well as I do, being nice doesn’t always make you a good worker and that’s all I will say about that. lol

I went to TJ Maxx and saw THE cutest boots by Nine West (http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/20538571/c/72/g/women/s/9.html). The largest size they had was an 8 ½….no 9’s anywhere!! I tried on the smaller size to entertain myself. That sucker was durn near taking my blood pressure so that was definitely a no go! I will stop by the TJ Maxx where I live to see if I have better luck this evening. As a matter of fact, I am heading out a half hour early to get a head start on rush hour traffic.

Byeeeeee!
