Yep. I'm a procrastinator. And I'm doing it right this very moment. It's a nice day here in Ohio. The sun is shining. The temp isn't freezing. I should be outside taking down Christmas lights. And I should taking down decorations here in the house. Neither of those is happening at the moment!!! I know I need to do it. I just don't feel like it! I love putting the decorations up. I don't like taking them down. How much would it cost me to get someone to come over and put all of this away for me?? Anyone??????
My plan this week was to do lots of blogging...cause I thought I'd have the time. Since the daycare wasn't open this week, I could go in when I wanted to and if I wanted to. So I figured more free time for blogging and bugging all of you!!! Clearly, that didn't happen. I wasn't super busy. Just a good busy.
Monday was the day I knew I wasn't going into work at all!!! And I stuck to that. I didn't go!! I spent some good quality time with my friend Sarah!!
I got to see her and Destry's new house! Love it!!! Then we went to lunch at Happy Daz. If you don't live around here then you have no idea what I'm talking about but that is some amazing food! And Sarah's never been! So I had to take her. Our original plan was to go to a movie but nothing sounded too interesting to us so we went to the mall. I'm not a big shopper but I wanted to look for shoes and to see the great sale at Bath & Body. And she wanted to go to Old Navy. And we just wanted to hang out. I also picked up a few "after Christmas" Christmas presents. We had a great time just talking and having some girl time together!! Now that she'll be closer, hopefully we'll do it more often!!!
Then my best friend came over Monday night. We hadn't really had a chance to spend Christmas together. So we wanted to hang out for a little while. We also got one of the chairs out of my livingroom. I like the chair. I just didn't need 3 in the livingroom. The room was starting to feel cramped. So she helped me take it out and take it to work. (It's going in our office at work as soon as a few things get moved around in there.) We just watched some tv. Looked up things online and talked. Nothing major. Just a few hours to hang out.
I went into work on Tues. I needed to. We got a new comp and some new programs for the software we use. So I got the new comp set up and mine moved over to Christina's work space. And then her comp moved out and I'll hook that up in our break room for the girls sometime next week. I got the new programs downloaded onto the comp and few things accomplished. My friend Karen brought me Kewpee for lunch and hung out for awhile while I worked!!!
Tues night was Christmas with the Rex's. We wanted to get a small Christmas in before Judy has surgery on the 3rd. It wasn't like a normal celebration for us but we did get to spend a few hours together talking and catching up. That's really all that mattered!
I worked again on Wed. Got a few more things done. Plus Christina came in. Then I spent about an hour with my best friend helping her with something and then checking out this bookstore that I forgot existed. I'm in love with that bookstore all over again!! Then it was grocery shopping time. I didn't buy much. But enough to make some food over the next few days. I'm not a big fan of grocery shopping. Let me just point that out!!! Then I came home and cooked! I haven't cooked in forever! I made some dishes for Christmas day but I haven't actually cooked to have dinner at home in weeks. I've just been too busy. But I did on Wed. night and it was soooooooooooooooo good! I'm not bragging. I'm just sayin!
Thurs. came more work. And I worked a longer day. I had more things I wanted to get done. While I did the work on the comp, one of the girls that works for us came in to do some reorganization of files and stuff. I got more accomplished but there were a few things I just couldn't do. So I brought that home to accomplish this weekend. You say yuck. And most of the time, I would too. But I don't mind being able to work from home sometimes.
I decided I didn't want to just come home from work last night and do the same thing. I wanted to do something. It didn't have to be major but I wanted to do something and I hadn't been to a movie in ages. And my best friend wanted to hang out with me so she'd go where ever I went! We decided on a movie...which was this whole process for me!! I wanted to see Little Fockers but the reviews aren't that good. I also wanted to see Black Swan. I've heard great things about that. But I wasn't sure Tera would sit through it and I didn't want her bored. I also wanted to see Tangled but they weren't showing that in the evening. I've heard great things about Unstoppable so that was on my list. Then there was True Grit. I'm not a huge western fan. But I love Matt Damon. It had great reviews and I knew Tera would have new problem sitting through that. So after about a half hour of me begging her to pick, her refusing to do so, I decided on True Grit. And I will admit, I enjoyed it. It had the feel of a western but with the feel of modern day movies. And Tera enjoyed every moment of it. Especially since she already knew most of what would happen since she owns the original True Grit with John Wayne. I thought it would be an early evening since we saw an earlier showing (which isn't normal for us) but Tera kept talking abou this new Tyler Perry play she had. Madea's Happy Family. So we decided to hang out at her place and watch. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!!! Lots of singing which is typical for a Tyler Perry play. But a great movie!!! I loved it!! Probably one of my favorites of his. We laughed and laughed and laughed!!! I definitely want to see it again.
OK. Well, I have plenty more I want to blog about but I've already wasted enough time. I've got to get some of these decorations down and out of my way. It would be nice to have my livingroom back to normal by this evening. Or this afternoon even!!! Wish me luck!
