Weekend out shines WEEK!

After the week I had last week I was really looking forward to the weekend! Friday night was just Randy and I - not really doing anything special. We did have to go buy a new DVD player the one in the living room had started not reading certain disks and so........We bought one. Not really exciting huh.

Saturday morning we got up and went to the STATE FAIR!!!!! I love fair corndogs and I LOVE the Florida state fair. Britt, RC & the boys met us there. I've discovered that the fair is even cooler with little guys - speaking of boys I just found out that my eldest is expecting a boy (if you remember that is what my middle child is expecting also) So by July 4th I will have 4 Grandson's and 1 Granddaughter........LIFE IS GOOD!

With work being crazy - I won't be blogging until the weekend again. I'll be in Training - YUCK!

My Week isn't for the WEAK!

Monday started out this week like just about any Monday.

With rumors my boss was going to quit, and those that know me know I adore my boss - we have a very unique relationship if I don't quit at least twice a day so he can say "You can't quit your fired!" he is worried that something in terribly wrong. I asked about the rumor he denied it but only time will tell - I know he's not happy with the changes brought on by the purchase of our company. Also my work load was beyond what any two people could do much less just me!

With no electricity when we got home - people behind us had it but all 3 blocks in front of us and at least one to the west of us had NONE. Randy and I went out to eat - hoping it would be back on when we got home. But no luck - it was out for over 13 hours. Which meant no recording of the only funny/light shows we watch. Also meant that the coldest night in Tampa since we have lived here for 7 years we HAD NO HEAT! Luckily we are campers and we could grab our camp lights to see by and our sleeping bags to keep from freezing. We called it a night at 9:30 and climbed in bed to get warm. Our house was down to 52 degrees before the heat came on at 2:30 a.m.

Tuesday - Valentine's Day
Randy got me a gift card - YEAH, I got him an ID bracelet in Titanium (still have to get it engraved but wasn't sure if he wanted initials or what so.....) Went to work where I rearrainged and cleaned and prepared the office for a Vendor presentation on Wednesday. Worked on my work load and was at the office until after 7 p.m. - Randy and I did go out to eat (again) and he bought me the coolest flashing Heart pin. But by the time we got home we were both exhausted!

Wednesday
Was an extremely long and tiring day with the Vendor Show and the work load that seemed to develope a life of it's own and grew overnight. Again I worked late - not as late as the night before but I began to counquer the BEAST of the workload.

Thursday
Started the day off excited thinking it was FRIDAY - so enough said about my week!!!!!!!!!!!

missuzj (Sophie's mom) gave us a writing assignment wherein you have to take 2 times in your life and compare them by using the phrases "I used to" and "but now I".
Here's my homework:

I used to rock my dolls and wish I would grow up faster and move on to real babies
.....But now I rock my grandbabies and wish they wouldn't grow up so fast.

I used to watch Randy in 8th grade and wish he would notice me and know I was in LOVE!
....But now I watch Randy and know that ne notices me and that he's in LOVE.

I used to think if I could just make it through High School I could be my own boss
....But now I know that I haven't been my own boss since High School

I used to think my parents were stupid and trying to ruin my life
.....Now I think my parents are great and know they want only the best for me

Okay people I want to see your assignment!
