OK, so I'm sitting here at work, blogging! I know, I shouldn't be doing this, but there is not much else to do. I have been reading the 4th book of the Twilight series-Red Dawn and let me tell you, it's hard to put down but I decided since I have not had time at home to blog, I would just do it at work because right, we have lots of time. People are standing around talking, waiting for their phone to ring. In the next couple of weeks, I doubt I will be saying that because starting the 2nd week or so in July we will be getting really busy, so they say. I'm ready for it. You can only surf the net and email so much you know. Right now, we are all waiting for an email from the head guys saying we can leave at 2:00 this afternoon because of the holiday weekend. This happened on Memorial Day weekend, it was awesome and by the look of the vacant parking lot it's a pretty good chance it might happen. Keep your fingers crossed!
This week has been a pretty busy one, first of all, Monday, me Mom and Kristi were supposed to go out for dinner for Kristi's birthday that was on the 20th but we all just got too busy and decided it wasn't a good night for dinner. I had a headache, Kristi had tons of laundry to do since she was traveling for work all last week and mom was packing for Nashville, which they left yesterday. So we decided maybe next week or the week after. We took mom out for supper on her birthday in June and it was such a good time with just the girls we decided to do it once a month, not just our birthdays. I really enjoy the time with mom and Kristi!
Tuesday night we went up to mom and dad's to take the GPS up and get that all set for them for their trip to Nashville and of course, she had dinner for us. She made Pork cutlets, fried potatoes and peas, not my favorite, but I did try a spoon full, yuck! But other than the peas, the meal was delicious. After mom and dads, we went out for ice cream, we made the long drive, out of our way to Beechers. They have the best frozen yogurt, they usually have a different flavor every day or every week, not sure, but Tuesday they had vanilla and peach something and it tasted like a dreamsicle. Yummy! We don't get up there as often because it's nowhere near our house anymore where as before it was just up the street, we could walk. So we make it a treat once in a while, plus it's so much better for you than DQ! Since DQ is closer, we tend to go there more often.
Wednesday, the boss, who hired me, and her boss were in DBQ for work, they work in the Chicago office, they wanted to see how we were all doing before the busy season started so Wednesday night, me, my boss, heather, the 2 from Chicago and 2 other people in our department all went for supper at The Star. That place is so nice, we sat out on the patio, it was such a beautiful night, we had to take the opportunity to sit out there overlooking the might Mississippi! I ordered Shrimp Pesto Pasta and it was so good! We split 2 deserts, wedding cake and grasshopper ice cream cake, both were good, but I would have chosen something like cheesecake or something, but I had a slice of each. The pieces were huge, between 6 of us, we couldn't eat it all. I brought leftovers for Tom, not the deserts, but my food and he took them for his supper at work.
Thursday, last night, Tom and I went on a dinner and a movie date. We went to eat a Buffalo Wild Wings, one of our favorite places since we go there at least once a month it seems like, but I just love their traditional wings with honey bbq sauce. My mouths watering now. After dinner, we went to the Twilight movie - Eclipse. It was very good! I think Tom was dozing a little because there was not a lot of action, but lots of "love" scenes between Jacob and Edward. Oh gee, that didn't sound good, not love scenes between Jacob and Edward, but Edward and Bella and Bella and Jacob! Well, you will just have to go see it to get anymore details. Tom thought this was the last movie of the series, but I mentioned to him it wasn't, sorry honey! The 4th one, not sure when it will be out, but the book it awesome!
So now to Friday, Tom went to set up the camper this morning after he got off work at 7am. He wasn't sure if he was going to stay down there and sleep or go home, I'm guessing he went home. I'm just patiently waiting for the email, but no luck yet! Although, I did just receive a great email from a good friend Linda, who has FINALLY decided to become a Jazzercise instructor! We are so pumped, we will have 2 current students go through workshop sometime this fall to become an instructor. I'm so happy for you Linda!
Well, I better get back to work and see if there is anything out there for me to do. If not, back to reading my book, my fingers are tired!
