celebrate good times, come on!

The company that I am going back to work for is a family owned company, owned by a father and his two daughters. For the past year he has been turning everything over to the daughters so he can retire. He still gives them his two cents, but lets them make all final decisions. When Daughter #1 told him that they fired the other girl for not doing her job and they were going to bring me back, he looked at her and said, "Which is exactly what I told you to do to begin with." I thought that was funny and it made me feel good.

The boyfriend and I are going to dinner at our favorite restaurant tonight with another couple to celebrate me getting my job back. I plan to have several a few drinks. I hope all of you have a great weekend!

late weekend review

It was such a busy weekend that I didn't even turn my computer on Saturday or Sunday. Actually, Sunday wasn't that busy, I was just lazy enjoying the snow. I'm finally caught up on reading all of my blogs!

Friday night we went to another couple's house for dinner and I ended up getting drunk drinking several a few glasses of wine. We played card games after dinner, the boys against the girls, and of course the girls won!

I woke up with a raging hangover slight headache on Saturday morning, but I pushed my way through it, because I had lots to do. I ran errands Saturday morning, spent Saturday afternoon going with a friend of mine to pick up some things for our dinner that night. Saturday night we also went to another couple's house (different couple....for some reason we were quite popular this weekend) for dinner. We had a great time, but I was so glad to get home and get in the bed since I was still feeling the effects from Friday night.

Sunday was spent enjoying the snow and still recovering from Friday night. I'm not as young as I used to be, it takes me longer to recover from too much a little drinking these days!

weekend review

I had a blast at the Mardi Gras party I went to Saturday night. The party was at a friend's mother's house, so there were several older people there, and I figured it would be kind of boring and that I'd probably be home by 9:00pm, 10:00pm at the latest. I ended up having more fun than I've had at parties with people my own age and didn't get home until after midnight.

The boyfriend was not as lucky as I. The circus that he and his family went to was located 45 minutes from where we live. The circus itself only lasted two hours. It took them nine hours to get up there, see the circus, and get home. There was road work on the interstate (only one lane open a good portion of the way up there and back), traffic was horrible because the circus wasn't the only event in the area. They barely made it up there in time for the start of the circus and they left three hours before it started.

I also found out that even though the boyfriend told his sister both times she asked, that I would not be going to the circus with them, she and her mother wasted their money went ahead and bought me a ticket just in case I changed my mind. Evidently they don't know me very well. If I tell you I will do something, then I will do it. If I tell you I'm not going to do something, it would be a waste of your time and energy (and money in this case) to try to talk me into it. When my mind is made up, it's made up.

Yesterday was another beautiful day and me and the girls had a great time playing outside again while the boyfriend raked the leaves. The day went by so fast, before I knew it, it was dinner time. I made taco salad, which we ate while watching the race. Yes, I like NASCAR.....but I'll save that story for another post.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!

If it was any other day BUT Friday, I don't think I would make it. It has been a long day and a long week!! I will be drinking several a few cocktails tonight!

Are any of you doing anything fun and exciting this weekend?

The boyfriend and I are going on a date tonight, but other than that, my plan is to be as lazy as I possible can this weekend. Of course, AFTER, I do the laundry and clean the house!

it's going to be another great weekend!

First of all, I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday, this has been the longest week! It's going to be a wonderful Friday because I only have to work half a day, we get our Christmas bonuses tomorrow, AND I'm going for a much needed visit to the hair salon! And more than likely I'll get a pedicure after that. I promise I'm not really a girly, girl......if you saw the state that my hair and my toes are in, you'd probably ask me why my boyfriend hasn't left me yet.

Saturday and Sunday I plan on getting my Christmas shopping done. Also, the boyfriend has to work this weekend and as much as I love him, I'm looking very forward to having the house to myself this weekend. I've got a lot to do around the house and it's so much more peaceful easier when he's not here and in the way.

On a totally different subject, I was tagged by Lipsmacker yesterday. I promise I'm working on that post and will hopefully have it done sometime tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.
