Tick.............Tock............whoosh

I am of two minds - which is not terribly unusual for me... but in this case its planting a seed that does concern me...

This week has dragged on -- its JUST Thursday (when I started this).  And on the other hand OMG its Thursday.

I have a Tastefully Simple Party this Friday -- I just looked at the stuff last night, I do have a shopping list with coupons I will get that done tonight, get things prepped and ready so all I have to do when I get home tomorrow is re-hot and set up...

Did I mention I also have an oncology appointment tomorrow?

But I'm leaving work at 11 AM so there is time built into the schedule.

I haven't seen Bubba since Monday - and that was in passing.  I saw him last night as well - again he was coming in - I was asleep on the couch said Hey - he told me some story about dinner plans gone wrong, then I said "oh dear - that's too bad" and went to bed.  At least I think that is what I said.

It is still freezing a$$ cold here and frankly I have had enough of this crap.  We've had snow, a snow day and cold - winter fun is over.  It needs to be 40 plus and sunny.  I need to feel my toes, fingers and nose again.  I need not to have to wear 12 layers to take my dog for a walk, then worry she's cold even though she stops and sniffs every tree and cable box in the neighborhood...

Yes even dogs get cabin fever.

Speaking of dogs, my brother has a new puppy - a literal puppy.  What was he smoking when he made this decision.. but then again I asked those probing and deep questions (are you an idiot?!?) to those it won't offend.  And since my sister-in-law aka wife of my brother is on the "don't know the new url" it's OK to say those things here.

You remember dear Sis?  The one who blabbed about the blog and Bubba found and has decided I must tell his family of its presence in cyber space?  Yeah that one...  Where was I going with this?  I have not idea I hate it when my thoughts wander off alone and get lost.  I miss them.

Moving on ... it is now Monday.  I must say it was one busy weekend...

Friday - left work at 11 - carpool buddy had a doctor appointment - and isn't that a nice change of pace?  Yeah it would have been if not for my every-three-week oncology appointment.  

My party was sparsely attended, but it was still a nice night.  Saw a lady I haven't seen in YEARS!  And she is seriously great - bummer I can't talk her into more Ladies' Group events.  Ah well. 

Of course Bubba complained about the amount of food I bought - and the leftovers.  There wasn't as much as he thought - we hated the pizza she made that got tossed, he liked the soup -- good eat that.  I froze half the batch of goodies I made, and he likes the stuffed mushrooms.  I foresee the cake coming into the office this week -- too good for my backside.

Saturday was equally busy - I was up and out the door by 7:30 AM and on my way to the Girls' Group meeting adult "retreat".  More like annoy the living snot out of me.  You publish a schedule that says we are starting at 9 AM-- the person doing the briefing strolls in at 9:15 and takes another 20 minutes to get her crap set up.... um no.  You get here and be ready at freaking 9 AM not 9:30.  Or say you're starting at 9:30 and I'll sleep in another 45 minutes.  URG  Serious pet peeve of mine. 

We managed to muddle through.  I left early - I told the lady in charge that I had theater tickets in DC and had to get home, change and drive into DC.  Granted I told her the concert started an hour before it did -- and well I wanted a bit of time to myself between events... and to smooth the usually ruffled feathers of my darling husband.

Frankly what I got was a 90 break of peace and quiet - as Bubba was out test driving cars.  It was wonderful.  I tended to Shelby, talked to Bubba via the telephone, and made my way into DC for another wonderful performance.  Home late and dead to the world.

Sunday -- well Sunday saw another trip to VA - yes we dropped Bubba' car off again.  Up side back to the diner -- good breakfast.   Home, got things done, then we went to a Super Bowl Party... back to the place I documented a few years - I like my husband's friend, but his wife is a perfect size 1, all her friends a perfect size 1's with their screaming children, and her skinny food... fine with me.  Ultimate sin - the cupcakes SUCKED.   We left after halftime because I get up early.  Suck it up Bubba.  I was in bed sound asleep before the game ended  And I seriously didn't want to get out of bed this morning.

It's raining, chilly (versus freezing A$$ cold) and there is a prediction of snow.  We'll see.

And will someone please in Western PA shoot that darn varmint??  6 more weeks of this crap.

Ah well - back to work, Girl's Group paperwork, and what ever else happens to fall into my lap.

Did I mention I volunteered to be on the reunion committee for my college 25th reunion?  My husband called me an idiot.

Perhaps  I am.

More later... and remember that statement when I lament about my lack of time.
