Wait for it...

Hello! It's Friday morning of a LONG WEEK!

Work has been absolutely insane, and I am looking forward to a much-needed weekend. Hooray!

I think the "Worst Day of the Week" award goes to Wednesday. On Wednesday, it was two hours from the time I walked out of the door at home until the time I sat down at my desk. Yes, two hours. I really don't have much of an explanation except for TRAFFIC and PARKING. I did get to see Baton Bob in this adventure, so I guess it ended on a good note. Aside from the getting-to-work escapades, the day wasn't too bad. My computer [at work] did randomly lose its mind. It's never a good sign when the help desk says, "Hmm, this is odd. It's as though your computer doesn't exist anymore."

My little doggie slept at the vet last night because she had phases 2 and 3 of her heartworm treatment. I miss yelling at her. I get her back today. That little rascal!

We had our fantasy football draft on Monday. After some major issues with the ESPN site, our 7:30 draft finally started at 9:15. I am feeling pretty good about my line up, particularly Aaron Rodgers and Julio Jones. Juuuuuuuuuuuuliooooooooooo! Come on, team! Mama needs a new pair o' shoes!

I'm trying to remember if my last post was before or after watching the mini horse, Tyson. I have no idea, and I don't want to look. Mini horses are so precious! I have never been a big horse fanatic, but mini horses are adorable. RA and I took care of a mini horse in the wee hours of the night/morning last Saturday and Sunday.

Hmm, well, I guess it's about that time that I need to start busting it in order to catch the train. I hope today wins the "Best Day of the Week" award!

Yeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrp

Hello world!

It's Thursday night of the longest week known to man. I'm being a bit dramatic there, but it feels like this week has gone on forever. I am so tired right now that my blinks are lasting 43x their normal length, and it's not even 10:00 p.m. I am going to sleep like a baby tonight!

Well, what's new with me? I don't know. I am going to go stream-of-consciousness here, but what's new in that regard?

My little Noodle doggie is sitting in the computer chair being the cutest thing known to man. Apparently "known to man" is the best phrase known to man. I love her warm little torso. Aww, she just sighed. That was the sweetest sound known to man.

The Falcons are playing right now. Yeehaw! Obviously it's preseason football, but I've missed it. I actually went to the first preseason game last thursday with RA. My brother-in-law (How weird is that?!) offered me tickets the day of, and I snatched those babies right up. The game was fun. It's a lot less stressful watching preseason football than it is the real deal.

Speaking of football, I am managing a fantasy football league this season. Our draft is next Monday night, and I am way excited! Fantasy football = real fun. I can't wait to get unreasonably competitive over something that I can't control. That's my idea of a good time!

I've gotten back on the post-hospital exercise bandwagon. I'd been exercising some here and there, but I'm once again trying to meet my 180-minutes-a-week goal. I'm in pretty good shape time-wise for this week; I need to get 55 minutes over the next two days. Fifty-five, shmifty-five.

Today I had a tiny red velvet cupcake.

I have a lot of work to accomplish tomorrow. This week has been insanely chaotic. I haven't had a week like this in quite some time.

Okay, I've reached the point of exhaustion where I'm staring randomly into thin air. I think it's time to put an end to the most worthless blog post known to man.

Have a good night, creatures!

Enter: Real World

Blah, blah, blah. I haven't written in forever. Blah.

Well, today not only marks the first time I've blogged in about a month; it will also be my first day in the office since July 6. Insanity, I tell you! I worked July 9-11, but I worked from home due to the nature of the project. Then I was in Denver from July 12-15 for a wedding. At the end of the Denver trip, I got a cold and made the mistake of calling the doctor at the end of the workday on Monday, July 16, so he encouraged me to go to the ER.

Despite every ounce of me thinking it was an overreaction, I went, they admitted me, I did 17 days of IV antibiotics, and now I'm back in action. I won't get into the details of the course of antibiotics, but it was the hardest time I've ever had. (Well, it was probably tied with Blood Clot Fiasco 2007.) After much tiredness, Benadryl and vomiting, here I am!
Denver was AWESOME! I have always considered myself a beach girl, but them mountains was fun! I saw some of the most beautiful sights and absolutely loved the city. My cousin, Andrew, got married on Friday, July 13, and that was a ton of fun. We went to the Rockies-Phillies game on Saturday, July 14, and, despite the Phillies' win, it was a great experience. I wasn't sure if I was affected by the altitude until I went to Coors Field. WHEW! That was intense!
Like most people, I have been completely consumed by the Olympics these past few weeks. I know it would demand a lot of the athletes, but I wish it was always the Olympics. Not only is it pretty quality entertainment, but it also has an uncanny ability to make me feel unaccomplished and motivated at the same time. Granted, I would spend all of my time sitting in front of the TV, but I would at least feel like I should be doing more with my life. :)
BLOGGER, YOU ARE A FAILURE.

I performed Friday night for the first time since July 6, too! It was so much fun to be back on-stage surrounded by hilarious people. One of my coworkers (KP) came with a big group of people, so that was a blast! I'm excited that I'm getting back into the swing of things!

Well, I better get to moving so that I can pick up some much-needed coffee as I venture back into the real world. Wish me luck, kids!
