TGIF

Just like I mentioned in my post yesterday, it was a very busy day. The Educator's Appreciation event lasted until 9:30 pm so I wasn't home until 10 pm. We served some finger food and drinks. Then we saw the Second City Comedy act from Chicago which was performing at our college. It was very fun and I think that everyone had a good time. (oh, I wore my black dress... no time for shopping... and it was just fine). I was nice too that Dave met some of the people that I have worked with for 10 plus years. I have mentioned people and now he has faces to go with the names.

I will have to be back at the college early for a Division Meeting. I should have just spend the night (I am just kidding). It can feel that way when one has a "turn around" with meetings/ events. I haven't had one of those situations since last summer. Sometimes we work on the weekends at the summer fairs; setting up a canopy and handing out materials regarding the college and it's programs. I get back to the college late on those Sunday evenings after taking everything apart and taking it back to the college. I then would have to be back to work on Monday. The great thing is that I can offset my time so I end up with time off on part of my weekdays to do errands or other things such as doctor appointments.

Speaking of doctor's appointments, I have one today. You know ladies... yes, that kind of doctor appointment. I do NOT like to go but have to keep up on the maintenance. Since I am getting older, it is taking more maintenance.

After the appointment I get to do what I want to do. I don't get much time for ME. I usually have work, housework, or others to care for in the family. It is hard to find time to pamper myself but I do try to find it and schedule it into my weeks. The FLYLADY's monthly focus for December is Pampering so she will have some good things to think about and try. I have already took myself to a movie, I got my hair done, and I had a manicure since I started to focus on my need for time for myself. I guess I would add meeting blogging friends and learning more about having a blog too to my list of "ME".

Fridays are great. Especially Fridays that you can't answer the "what are you doing this weekend?" question because there isn't any set plans. Well, I guess I can answer that question a little... decorate and write out Christmas cards. I can't send Christmas cards out until the boys pictures come in which will be next week sometime. However, I can sign them and address them until I the pictures arrive.

The pictures which I am waiting for are great of the boys. Everyone in CA will be surprised at how big they have grown. Above is a picture of the boys from last Christmas. We went on a Christmas Merry Go Round. Riley liked it but Brady wasn't too sure about it. (I wanted to place the picture down here but I guess I am doing good just posting a picture at this point :-)

Have a great Friday everybody...
