I woke up this morning with the feeling that today was going to be a long day. My instinct was correct. I don't have anything big planned for the weekend, but I am definitely ready for 5 pm.
Tonight we are going to a Japanese restaurant with one of my bunko friends (Jennifer). I am excited about that. I don't like sushi (yes I have tried it) but Owen and Jennifer love it. I like fried rice. I can't get enough of it. I have been craving hibachi grill's fried rice. Luckily my good friend Brandy and I are going next Thursday. She is my Hibachi Grill friend, because Owen doesn't like it so he never wants to go. I absolutely love it - mainly for the fried rice.
Saturday I plan on going shopping. This is an activity I like to do by myself. I am going to look for possible birthday gifts for myself. This year I am giving Owen a list so he can surprise me. I still can't believe my 30th birthday is now 12 days away. I think this is a big year. Owen thinks it is just one more year and he asked me last night why I think this year is any different than 29? I really didn't have a good answer for him. I think I answered with a "It just is". What an educated and thirty year old answer! You would think I was celebrating my 13th birthday with that answer. For a while I wanted a red velvet cake for my birthday cake, but since I just had one I don't know what I want now. Most likely something with chocolate in it. Maybe fudge? I can be nontraditional and just have fudge for birthday cake.
Ralphie has been good lately. He stays in his kennel while we are at work (this may seem like cruel and unusual punishment, but it is a condo of a kennel and we have tried to give him freedom, but he can't handle it). Every morning it is a struggle to get him to go in his kennel before we leave for work. He has figured out when we are ready for him to go in there and hides from us. Well this past Monday and Tuesday he waited for me to take out his bed (again, he can't handle comfort...he chewed is $100 plus something bed in the 1st week when we left it in there, so now he only has it to sleep on at night)and then we went right into his kennel. What an angel! Has he turned a corner? I sure did think so, since he did this 2 days in a row. Well Wednesday came and I can't remember what happened then. Thursday he started back to his old ways and then today he was definitely back with hiding from us. I think he didn't feel well on Monday and Tuesday and that is why he was so good. I hate that he is good when he is sick. He goes to the vet on Monday for his puppy shots. I think this maybe the last ones for a while. Owen will be on vet duty. I really don't like that place. The doctors are nice, but the smell gets me and basically I have no control over Ralphie.
Well friends, it is still not 5:00 pm. As you can tell work is slow for a Friday afternoon.
Next Saturday I am throwing a baby shower (along with Owen's mom) for a friend of ours (Julie). Julie is the one who set Owen and I up. I think we were her only set up so now she has a 100% track record for making a good match. She did it the right way to. A group of us met up at a restaurant (ok, I will tell you where - it was Buffalo wild wings). The restaurant was actually my choice as well. It was during the NCAA basketball tournament in 2005 and I had a friend of mine from college in town. I didn't think she was interested in watching MSU play on TV so I thought Buffalo Wild Wings would be the perfect place to go. I could watch the tv and still be social. It was a great plan and that is where I met Owen. I am not sure if I have told this story or not, but after the game was over and my friend and I were ready to go home, we told everyone bye and then left. Once we got home I realized that we didn't pay our bill!! OOPS! We had dinner and drinks and just left. Poor Owen being a gracious guy that he is decided to pick up Julie's and her husband's bill that night. Little did he know my bill along with my friends' was on there as well. Today it makes for a great story. One might I add that Owen likes to embellish. :) Back to Julie - I will also be shopping for things for the shower as well on Saturday. I am not sure what I am looking for, but hoping I get inspired.
It is still not 5 pm, but I think I have written enough. Hope I did not bore you with such a long post. Hope you have a good weekend and for those who are mommies -
Happy Mother's Day!
