I'm usually sooo happy on Thursdays. It's kind of like Christmas Eve around here. Everybody is pumped for Friday (which tends to be really busy at work, so it flies by), and there is usually something going on after work, which is always fun, too. Tomorrow (friday) we have a big b-day Happy Hour for 2 friends and co-workers, so that will be a blast. But today I'm just blah. I had a really good nite last nite--spent some time with Lisa, Susan and Katie, spent the night at their house, which meant I got to sleep in really late and have a very easy commute this morning! But I am just TIRED. Like worn out, going to bed at 9:00 every nite and still haven't slept enough, mono kind of tired. Maybe it's because Monday was the saddest day of the year (did you see all those articles??)...and I'm just having a slow week. ;)
On a more energetic note....here's a new pic of the baby boy! He's easily 7lbs now and doing fabulous!!!
Updates from last week:
*Had an awesome time w/ Shauna here last week. We were busy the whole time, but had a blast.
*Had so much fun skiing on Saturday (that could be why I'm still tired!) Whitetail was awesome--but FREEZING AND WINDY. Wow. The weather was intense. We only had 1 real incident involving me, the lift exit, a kid falling in front of me, me falling, a guy yelling at me to 'stay where you are!!!', twisting my knee, the same guy helping me up--but hurting my knee, me grabbing ahold of the guys family jewels for dear life while wrapping myself around his leg trying not to fall down, walking/falling/carrying skiis down a run that was too hard for me, generally having a great time.
*Drinking my b-day pink champagne from Scott--who knew I would like pink champagne??
*I miss Shauna! It's always good to see her, but we've had so much fun the last few times she has visited--it's hard to see her go.
So, I could use a reminder of all the things I value.....Grateful once again:
1. A Job--after everything that happened here in December, I really value having one. What a blessing to enjoy it, as well.
2. Health--so I'm tired. But I know people my age with cancer or who have lost children. I have nothing to complain about!
3. Memories--My desk, my shelves at home, my fridge--all covered with pics of friends and family--most of you who are reading this are featured prominently! And it is so good to look at them. I love being surrounded by the faces of the people I love. Fun.
4. Flowers. It's not spring yet--one of my very fave things...but I have this gorgeous cycleman on my desk that Susan gave me for my b-day--and it makes me so happy.
5. Technology--I love being able to quickly reach people by email, IM or cell phone. It can be oppressive sometimes, but for the most part, it's good to be connected.
HAPPY THURSDAY!
