Random Tuesday Thoughts


Soooo I'm in the mood to share some random thoughts......which may or may not make sense, but really, isn't that the beauty of it all?


1) I'm sitting here drinking a Woodchuck Cider. For what it's worth, I really heart Woodchuck. Why am I drinking on a Tuesday night you ask? Well lots of reasons I guess, but mainly I'm going to be involved in something tomorrow that I am NOT looking forward too. I can't elaborate any more than that. This is obviously one of those things that is NOT going to make sense. Anyway, I don't wanna be there, I don't wanna be involved, and so I'm drinking Woodchuck and trying to gather my thoughts. I guess if I have to be there, I might as well be as prepared as I can.




2) Riverdance rocks. I went with 3 of my friends to see it on Sunday. Really cool show and so amazing! It is their farewell tour. After the show we went to dinner at the new Bravo's in C-bus. Delish, but I have to say, the waitress took us on a 20 minute tour of the menu, and she lost me about 5 minutes in at the appetizers.


3) Apparently my son as bradycardic arrhythmia's. Greaaaaaatttttt. Now he has to see a cardiologist. I'm almost positive that the cardiologist will tell us it is nothing, because they are very common in athletes, especially runners, and I think the clinic at Miami is doing this in a CYA move simply because they showed up on the EKG. However, with our extremely crappy cardiac gene pool in this family, it really is good to get it checked out. He is running a marathon in May and I would really like to make sure he is good and healthy for that!


4) People with no filters between their brains and mouths drive me crazy. I experienced this firsthand recently, towards me, about me, and when I questioned the comment (because I'm kinda bold like that in my old age), the person said to me, "What you don't understand is that I don't have a filter!!" So that makes it ok? Really?


5) Is it wrong that I totally enjoyed my weekend sans my husband??? I did....I REALLY DID! I was very ready for him to come home and very excited to see him, but while he was gone I had such a great ME weekend! A.W.E.S.O.M.E.


6) My birthday is Saturday. Wondering what Gep has planned??!!! If he were to ask any of you...I want a Nook or a Kindle. Just sayin!!!!! And don't think I haven't told him this as well! We are supposed to be going out with good friends of ours so that should be fun! John tries to agitate me and say that my birthday is too close to Christmas and Valentines day. What the crap??? I am weird about birthdays! I love to celebrate them. I think everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday. And when I say that, I don't necessarily mean me. I mean I try to always make it special for my friends. It's the one day that is truly yours. OWN IT SISTA'S!!


7) Having some friends over next Saturday, 3/5. I am really excited about this! BUT, being in the midst of home renovations, we have a lot to do between now and then. Of course the renovations won't be complete, but I do have a nice long "honey-do" list for this weekend. I hope everyone can make it, but as of now, it is not looking too promising!


8) I'm worried about a friend. I got a cryptic email and they said they weren't willing to elaborate. I didn't want to push but I did tell them I would keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Very uncharacteristic, so it concerns me!


9) 60 degree weather last week was a huge tease and now I just get mad when I look outside and see 4 inches of snow. I mean really, it was virtually spring....now it's a freakin frozen tundra.


10) Well I'm out of random thoughts, LOL. No #10.


With that, I'm off to finish my Woodchuck and watch some DVR'd shows.

Random Thoughts

Ahhhh my blog .... how I have neglected you! Life has been crazy and just has gotten in the way of my creative outlets. I thought I would jump back in by sharing some random things going on in the lives of me and my family.

1. Work..... My new job. At times I love it, at times it makes me crazy. We are expecting a big inspection right now and everyone is on edge. I mean this is a biggie! It seems like I'm not accomplishing much. I'm a person that likes to work down a list and get things done. But being an admin assistant, that is not always easy. People are constantly interrupting you and asking you for things that need done RIGHT NOW! Normally I don't mind this! It is the nature of the job. But, well, I guess things are just crazy right now. It's funny how I was an admin assistant at my old job, as I am here, but the jobs are just totally different. Each with their own set of good and bad. All in all, it is great, and really, I have no right to complain when so many are out of work right now.

2. Biggest Loser Competition.... My brother is having surgery soon (see #3). His cardiologist wanted him to lose some more weight before the big event, so I said I would do it with him. At the same time, I had a review at work and needed to list some goals. I thought this would dovetail nicely if I could run a Biggest Loser competition for friends as well as coworkers. Alas, Mission Slimpossible was born! We have 43 participants and they are doing so well. I'm so proud of all of them (but myself...I gained this week).

3. Cardiac Surgery..... My brother has to have a serious cardiothoracic surgery next Tuesday. He is obviously nervous and scared. Hell, I'm nervous and scared too. I have no doubt he will be fine. He has a renowned surgeon performing the operation. But he's my big brother, and I think it just really sucks that he has to go through it at all. Long recovery. I'm praying for him, that his burden is not too heavy in this week leading up to the surgery.

4. My son..... Quite frankly, the kid amazes me. Everything he is, everything he does...simply amazing!! I honestly don't know how it happened, but it did! (Don't get me wrong, he an annoy the shit out of the best of us....but he is still the coolest person I know).

5. My husband.... Doing well! He was away in Denver at the beginning of the month for a business trip. He loves his work and is so good at it! He has also been working hard around the house trying to finish up the home renovations. Proof positive that my incessant nagging does, in fact, work! I highly doubt the renovations will be done anytime soon, but we are moving on them at least. Phew, I was thinking they would never get done!

6. This Weekend.... Going to see Tony and Tina's wedding with 8 other couples. I have been to it twice before, but all the others have not, so it will be great seeing their reaction! I'm really looking forward to getting out and letting loose a little bit.

Well that pretty much catches us up on the goings-on in this house. I'll be back soon!!
