ROSES & THORNS

I stole this idea from the beautiful Kristen. Love her and her blog!! I’m sure many of you know her already but if you don’t, stop over there and introduce yourself! She’s awesome!
I did my post a little different than she does…same concept though;)

* IT’S FRIDAY – nuff said!!
* Both of the attorneys I work for our out today! One of the guys I work for is out with the flu (not swine), he got a flu shot a month ago. What is the point of getting the flu shot if you are still going to get the flu anyway?!?
* I have plans Sunday to spend the entire day with one of my besties!
* I finally went to the doctor yesterday, I’m convinced there is something wrong with me.
* Someone found my blog by typing in “chocolate butt” on Google. HA!!
* My sweet fiancé came downtown to my office and took me out for lunch on Weds. This only happens once a year, it’s a haul to get downtown, you have to pay to park, then wait in line at a restaurant and pay a ridiculous price to eat….it was totally worth it though!! It was the perfect break in my work day! Love his face!
* I know I have mentioned before that I love my car and I have good reason, I drove my car an entire month on the same tank of gas! (Billy goes through more than enough gas in his SUV for the both of us though)
* Billy doesn’t have hockey tonight or tomorrow night, quality time for us!!
* I got to enjoy a wonderful dinner at Chilis with a great friend this week as well. Best chips and salsa ever!!

* Even though the two attorneys I work for are out, I have a TON of work to do today!
* Due to all the work I am totally behind on your blogs. I’ll be stalking anc commenting you all throughout the weekend to catch up on your lives!! Promise :)
* I ate like crap the entire week, so much for being healthy and working out.
* Getting weighed at the doctor’s office :( I’ve gained 6 pounds since I stopped working out 2 months ago! UGH!!! I am going to start hitting the gym again very soon, I have to!
* I gave in to diet mt. dew and splenda in my coffee.
* Due to the splenda I’ve had major headaches all week.
* The commute to work seems to just keep getting longer. I get on my bus around 7:10 and I don’t get to my desk until 8:30. I count part of the commute as my working hours. Hopefully when the highway goes from 3 lanes to 5 lanes things will be much smoother and quicker.
* My Dad was supposed to get to go back to work last week after being laid off for around 8 months. Thankfully my Mom has a great job and my Dad has had unemployment the entire time, my Dad wants and needs to get back to work though. Please pray that he gets a call this weekend letting him know there is a position open and he can go back!

I didn’t know if I wanted to list this as a rose or thorn so this little story gets its own section. After the doctor last night I didn’t feel like cooking. Billy had hockey until 8:30 so I decided to grab some lime beers and another gourmet meal of fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. I went through the drive through and the girl at the pay window asked me what high school I go to. I told her that I was 26, not in high school. She looked like she didn’t believe me. I go to the next window to pick up the food and the guy working says, she thinks you go to her high school. I told him the same thing, no I’m 26. He goes yeah I figured you had to at least be 21 with that pack of beer sitting on the floor right there. I forgot that I had sat the beer on the passenger side of my car on the floor. Not that it matters but if I was in high school and 16/17 years old I doubt I would have beer noticeably sitting in my car. Anywho, I don't think I look that young but I'll take looking the age of a high schooler as a compliment ;) hehe....

Overall, I had a great week!! Hope you all did too!!

Have a great weekend! XO
