Girls night out!

Are we there yet?

Is it just me or has this week taken 3 years to get through? I can not wait for this weekend to get here. I've been fighting a migraine since Monday, there's enough drama at work to be a soap opera, and just to make it all the more fun... We're supposed to get hit with a massive snow storm tonight. They're forcasting 5 to 8 inches of snow starting at midnight. I hate driving in bad weather! (Remind me to tell you all about my tango with a snow plow and when I was rear ended by the idiot going 30 mph on glare ice later.)

Today was the lone bright spot in an otherwise crappy week. I left work at lunch today and a friend and I had a girls night out. We went out to lunch/dinner, tried on a gazillion and 2 clothes, and then went to see a "chick flick" movie. 27 dresses. The food was great; and I stayed on my diet...Ruby Tuesday's soup and salad bar. I bought 3 new shirts. 2 out of 3 will be approved by the fashion police (a.k.a. my family.) And the movie was cute. (And yes, I did eat popcorn, butter and all.) My friend and I left each other laughing so hard we were crying.

I'm dreading tomorrow though. I thought it was Friday all day today, so the fact that tomorrow is really Friday is going to make the day drag on and on and on and... you get it... ON! I'm going to need all 4 of my alarm clocks to drag my tookis out of bed at 4 AM tomorrow morning. But hey, at least I'll have a spiffy new shirt to wear tomorrow.

Well gang; I'm off to exercise, pack for this weekend (2 birthday parties to go to) and then finally turn back into a pumpkin. I hope that you all have a good Friday and a fun weekend.

Talk at ya'll later, Reffie

*ps... please forgive any spelling errors... I cant get spell check to work for some odd reason. I'm a blonde... spelling isn't my forte.

There's a cold front coming from the north.

In an effort to tame my new hairstyle, I slept with pink sponge rollers in my hair last night. Everyone said the result was "really cute", but I still felt like I looked like the local weather girl. Oddly enough, the tangled mass behaved itself and actually held the curl all day. (With the help of half a bottle of hairspray of course.)

Other than looking like a weather girl, I felt pretty good today. I wore a new black shirt, black slacks, and a cute black sweater with rose buds embroidered on it. Work went reasonably well. I finished my book. I was even able to squeeze in a nap this afternoon. All in all a good day.

I spent the weekend helping to take care of my nieces. 2 year old Leah and 2 month old Susanna. Leah is talking more an more. Her newest saying is "How 'bout.. ummmm... Red" whenever you give her anything that comes in colors. (Food, toys, etc...) I'm so proud of her because she's now asking to go potty. A big step in a 2 year olds life. Susie is growing leaps and bounds mentally and physically. She's just beginning to smile. Early Sunday morning we had a "sleep over." Susie woke up at 4:30 AM and she woke up Leah with her crying. Of course Leah had to get up with us. So by 5:00, I ended up holding Susie while giving her a bottle and having Leah snuggle up by my feet. By 6:30 we were all back asleep on the couch.

This work week is going to be a rather blah week. But, this coming weekend (Saturday) we're going to be celebrating my Grandma's 86th birthday. The following day is my younger brother's birthday. So, I get to spend the upcoming weekend partying! It doesn't get much better than that.

Well, I have to go exercise and then try to get to bed early. The weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow and I want to get to work early because I know the cancellation calls will be coming in fast and furious. I hope you all have a good day.
