Today I was working as usual and it was allowed to quit a little earlier (about an hour) which was nice. Management recognizes how hard we always work. That was a pleasant surprise. Although I am working this weekend it was still really great getting to stop early on pizza and beer night. I actually spent the time just straightening out my office. It was time well spent.
It was very nice out today and got into the low 80's again. Ah...I love this time of year. Things are starting to bloom and the grass is turning a nice green. I suppose I should start using the sprinkler system but we really haven't needed it yet. But I see folks using theirs all the time. Such a waste of water. I was actually going to put them on this evening but I forgot and now it is dark. Oh well I'll do it Sunday as long as I don't forget (the next allowed day).
Until tomorrow...

Another long day
I went to see the Estate attorney today. Very nice man and very informative. I had to wait a while to see him which normally would be just fine, but I was going to go back to work afterward. Ugh. My appointment was for 5:00PM and I think it was closer to 5:30PM when I finally got to sit down with him. I imagined myself just leaving and then him calling me afterward to ask me why I left. My time is just as important as the next guy. If he couldn't see me until 5:30PM why not make it for that time. But I just sat there as the air conditioner cranked out more unwelcome cold air. LOL
Anyway, not to give the wrong impression he was very kind and willing to go slowly through things, but I wanted to get back to work and he already filled me in quite a bit on the phone last week when we talked close to 45 minutes. So bottom line he will be handling the things we need and I will be happy when it is all done. I still spent about an hour and a half there.
When I got home I fixed myself a quick dinner- a slice of ham in my cast iron skillet and Brussels sprouts from the farmers market that I had frozen last month.
It was tough going back to work around 7:00PM but I got a bit more done. I am glad tomorrow is Friday. Pizza and beer night. YEAH!!!!!!

Howdy
I know I didn't blog yesterday but I was working on getting some paperwork together for the estate attorney I see tomorrow for my parents affairs. And I just got done work. I got a late start today because I had an orthodontist appointment at 8:30AM. It went well and she is very happy with my progress. The great news is that next time I go which is June 1st, I will be half way done with my Invisalign already. I'm happy about that!
Since I got my hair cut I've been wearing make up again and making sure I am all blinged out with my Paparazzi. There was a tech who liked one of my rings and then a lady said she was admiring my jewelry too. I ended up telling them a little about it and handed out 3 or 4 of my business cards. I told them how everything is $5.00 and most necklaces come with matching earrings. Anyway I was surprised and impressed how looking more 'put together' got me that extra attention. Normally would just get stares (not in a good way) from other mothers previously because most of the other patients in their chairs are teens. But I felt good today and that was a nice thing! I probably look a bit younger too with the short blond hair which helps too.
I'm ending this here. Nashville is on and I'd like to catch it.

Monday blog
Another Monday is nearly done. Yah! It was nice this morning for my walk, in the 50's. Cool enough to wear my coat barely zipped at the bottom. I like when I get all done the walks and I am neither frozen nor sweaty. This was one of those days. I have a feeling there will be more sweaty days to come now that April is here.
Today it got up to 80 degrees or a little higher. Don't be jealous my east coast family and friends :) Anyway at my lunch time I went out to the back porch and wiped down one of the bistro tables and a chair as I was going to enjoy my lunch out on the porch for the first time this year. I came inside to get my lunch ready and the lawn guy came to mow the front and the back. So much for that great plan.
I'm making progress on my book. I'm at page 298. Only 132 more pages to go. How can you tell if a book is really not interesting to you? When you are counting down the pages to when the suffering ends. ;-)

Okay a day after April Fool's
I have to share something really funny that happened last night. Hubby was reaching into the dogs treat bag and screamed a profanity . I didn't know what was up until he said "What is in this bag? It is all slimy and gross". "Did you put something in their treat bag?"
I started laughing!! Yesterday morning I was scooping out some cantaloupe seeds into an empty dog treat bag that I retrieved from the trash can, and sealed it back up and must have set it on the counter instead of back in the trash. (I was using that so that it would not stink so quickly as the seeds just thrown in the trash would have after a day or two). From there it made its way back up to where the treats are kept in the cupboard. I'm not sure if it was me or hubby that put the bag up there as the treats are often left out on the kitchen island.
But it was pretty funny and he did start laughing after a few minutes. It wasn't intentional but it would have made a great April Fool's joke!

Beautiful day!
I thought it was going to feel cold today because the high was going to be maybe 70 degrees. I don't think it got up to that but it was one of those sunny days without a cloud in the sky so it felt much warmer than it actually was. I wanted to get out at some point today since I didn't get my walk in yesterday. I needed to get something for my mom at Walgreens so I took a walk up there this afternoon and that was nice.
I also did two loads of laundry, oops one load is still in the dryer but it is whites so doesn't matter if socks and underwear get wrinkled :) I also did my nails today too as I want to take a video with some of my beautiful Paparazzi rings. So that is something I will be doing tomorrow. I want to get some reading done tomorrow too. There is a new SNL tonight, so I hope to catch it before drifting off to sleep. :)

It is April right?
I'm not fooling. I'm honestly asking. It is 51 degrees out and the low tonight is in the low 40's. This is Texas, last I checked. Brrrr...!
I got through today without getting April Fooled. I'm happy about that. LOL. I didn't think of anything quick witted to use on hubby either. But I'm fine with that.
I didn't get to walk this morning because once again the weather man was inaccurate. It was pouring and thundering around the time I would be getting up so, I skipped it.Last night it was just a 'chance of rain'. It was cold this morning too anyway so a second good reason not to walk. I just did a little stretching instead since I always need to stretch.
It is a going to be a free weekend to do as I want. I haven't figured out what I am going to do yet but I will make sure to take some time to do my nails as I want to take a few Paparazzi videos with showing off the beautiful rings and want to show off nice nails as the videos will look better with nail polish on. :)
