This is how I work from home...

-I have slept in 90 minutes later than normal.
-I have washed and dried 8 loads of laundry.
-I have spent 84 minutes chatting online with Raymundo from HP Tech Support over my stupid laptop issue.
-I have filled 3 garbage bags with clothes to donate to Goodwill.
-I have been on 1 work conference call that lasted 2.5 hours.
-I have painted and repainted my nails 3 times. I just couldn't settle on one color (Lincoln Park After Dark, Polar Bare and finally Suzi Says Da!)
-I have cooked and eaten 4 (okay, 6) pieces of turkey bacon.
-I have watched 2.5 episodes of Grey's Anatomy, Season 3.
-I have cleaned 0 bathrooms and it will probably stay that way...for today at least.
-I have answered 17 work emails and 9 personal emails.

Whew, I think I need a break...I will go into the office tomorrow. :)

Just another weekend

Friday night we dinned on crab legs with our favorite out of town couple at our favorite seafood spot and then wandered around Bell Square. It was good to chat with each other and do some good ol' reminiscing. It's even better when it's done over some Red Mango!

Saturday didn't really get started until late afternoon at our house. We went and saw Defiance at Southcenter (good, but not as good as I thought it would be), and I picked up a couple fun, cheap jewelry finds at Forever 21 (don't judge me!). A stop at Target on the way home and we called it a night.

Sunday involved a whole lot of TV...Rob downstairs, me upstairs. I started re-watching season one of Grey's Anatomy while I am assuming that Rob watched football...I was too into my stuff to confirm. But now I am fully convinced that I want to go to med school and be a surgical intern. Reality will set in soon and I will realize that it's just the silly TV show fanatic inside me. I am such a goober.

Yes, my pants are on fire

Yeah, I lied a little...so what. I know I said that we were going to make our blog private and then I never did. It wasn't an intentional lie, it was pure laziness on my part. I really just forgot all about it. I haven't posted anything really personal anyways, so unless I decide to do so the blog will stay open. But be forewarned...I am known to change my mind on a whim, so one day I just may feel like making in private. :)

Sorry I cried wolf; it won't happen again. Well not intentionally that is.

Mysterious disappearance

In response to all of the emails I have been receiving lately: No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I am still around, but I have lost my mojo...blog mojo that is. Work, school, sick, lazy- you name it, I got it and it's all keeping me from blogging. I am trying to get back on the horse, but it may be gradual. Stay tuned... :)

Sad Friday

I arrived at work this morning to see that my little office mate had gone to the great beyond. So sad. R.I.P. little buddy. :(

Holiday Round Up

My little holiday trip to Utah was fun. I stuck to my usual Utah itinerary...went to a ton of movies (five, actually: Yes Man, Doubt, Seven Pounds, Four Christmases and Twilight...again ), played with nieces and nephews, did a little shopping, and just hung out. Oh, and got scarf-jacked at the airport. Super sad about that still. :( Ironically there was no family game night to be had...maybe next time! And after making a big fuss about finding my camera to take along with me, I didn't end up taking any pictures but we did have a family portrait taken (our first one in over five years!).

I eagerly returned home to Rob with some lovely memories, a great new scarf and a wicked cold. Me, being the incredibly festive person I am, filled up on cold medicine and zonked out at 9:00 PM on New Year's Eve then woke up early this morning to take Rob and his brother to the airport for a quickie boys trip to Vegas. Now that I have the house to myself I have comfortably donned my PJ's all day while watching back issues of Lipstick Jungle, painting my nails, snacking on turkey bacon (my favorite, but the smell drives Rob crazy, so I try not to cook it when he is around...considerate, huh.) and trying to summon up some energy to do laundry or something. No luck on the last one yet, maybe tomorrow.

Today is also my Mum's birthday, so here's a little Happy BD for you Mom...hope your day is fantastic! Hope everyone had a great New Years!

To the airport we go

Off to Utah to put in some face time with the family. Hope everyone enjoys the holidays...Merry Christmas!!

Just my luck

For months I have been whining about not being able to find my eyeglasses. I finally got over it and bought this great new new pair.

The VERY NEXT DAY guess what I found buried in Rob's old gym bag in the garage (along with my other rollerblade!!). That's right, my old glasses!

Really, what were they even doing there!?! I have absolutely no idea and neither did Rob. Oh well, now I have two pairs. :)

Word to the wise

When you find yourself in your pajamas and needing to run out to your snow enveloped car, heels may seem the best option to keep your warm feet from sinking into the snowy ground (which they certainly do), but they don't do much in the traction department. That is how you end up sliding around and eventually landing on your keister...along with being wet and cold. Opt for putting on your boyfriends boots instead. Your bum will thank you. Not that I would ever do anything like this...I'm just saying.

Cabin Fever to the extreme

There has been a huge dumping of snow in the Pacific Northwest...this is quite the rarity for us. Because of this Rob and I have been working from home since Thursday. I have been going crazy! There is an entire list of things I need to do and places I need to go before heading home for the holidays. I am scheduled to leave tomorrow night and still have a huge list of things to do. It looks like I may have to venture out onto the icy roads for a little while tomorrow. I mentioned my cabin fever to Rob and he suggested we watch The Shining in order to gain a little perspective. He thinks he's funny!! :)

Here is an upstairs window shot of the whiteness that has taken over our lives. However, I will say that this is a really pretty sight at night though.
