smiling from a very nice chat this morning with the finest person in the entire world….

pissed off about falling snow when everything had melted and was cleaning up nicely….

having a very heavy mind and heart these days struggling with finding a way to fix what needs fixing at home and not having any luck….

Getting back to to work after taking most of last week off for Noah's 6th birthday and spring break.

Had a big party at Magic Mountain with all his best friends and classmates. Took him to dinner at Joe's Crabshack per his request. Spent all of his actual birthday at the zoo and it was a blast. Cracking up at Bethany referring to every animal as "doggy". The polar bear…doggy. The kangaroo…doggy. The goat at the petting zoo…doggy.

Went to see Monsters vs Aliens in IMAX 3D. Great movie, definitely see it in at least regular 3D.

Spent all weekend finally starting to paint our kitchen and greatroom after putting it off for four years.

Not looking forward to today and tomorrow because I still have a ton of work to finish and it has to be done by the end of the day tomorrow, no excuses…or my department is penalized.

Ooh, sounds like you had fun Sean! Good luck with the work now!

...saw my sweetie over the weekend, sent him home exhausted <eg>

...met with the cake lady (who's office smelled like buttercream frosting…omg…mmm)...and we booked her…

...met with the photographer and booked him…

...now counting the days until Friday, when I take a week's vacation to spend with the fiance one on one…

Just decided to head to St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beach for the 4th of july. Looking at hotels and condo rentals.

Super excited to take Noah to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological park. Glad Leslie's grandparents in Florida will finally get to meet Bethany. Looking forward to some fresh seafood at one of our favorite seaside restaurants.

Thinking this gives me a few months to locate my beach abs and bring them out of hiding.

OMG Sean… I live in J-ville and *heart* St. Augustine…... where are you looking at staying when down here (in terms of hotels) or are you seriously just looking to see what you can find?..... couple cool suggestions for St. Auggie if you want them…. taren_wilson At yahoo.com

thinking I don't want to work today….. I want to veg….

Thinking that I was able to work out a three day weekend with the work schedule and I am doing NOTHING on friday…. *maybe* the beach but we will see HAHA….

TJ, there is a timeshare we can use in World Golf Village which is actually two minutes from where my boss lives in St. Augustine. About half of my coworkers are from our Jax office.

Leslie's grandparents live in Ponte Vedra Beach and her Aunt lives in the Deerwood community. We've been down there probably a dozen times in the last ten years or so.

We've stayed several times at the Sea Turtle Inn but I think its gone…and several times at The Holiday Inn Sunspree but I think its gone as well…that was in Atlantic Beach. Since we have so much family there we probably won't be in the hotel very much so we don't need something spectacular.

I can't wait to get back to St. Augustine. I love St. George street and all of the architecture. If we use the timeshare we'll stay in St. Augustine but if not I think we'll be more toward Jax Beach or Ponte Vedra Beach.

to locate my beach abs

If you figure that out…..let me know. I've been trying for years…LOL.

Had an exciting morning in clinic….  I got dragged into a room to see a Somali patient who was here because "she couldn't pee". Um, yeah. She was actually in active labor, fully dilated, and ready to deliver. I got to ride in the ambulance with her, and the doc who showed up let me do the delivery.  *sigh*  I'm walking on clouds.  It was so great.

sitting at a restauraunt-bar with a friend, each with her own laptop working, drinking a nice Hoegaarden. not s bad, I think :)

things are picking up. will pick them upper very soon.

have date for recital this year. if you're not doing anything for summer solstice, you're more than welcome to drop by :)

mom's things finally arrived from the shipment after much horridness, and I now have tremendous amounts of dishes and things I have no room for in my flat, lol.

getting ready for the biggest meal of the year!

pissed off because a stupid coworker crashed his system on friday with a virus and now I cannot get past the blue screen of death…..

working on work on a sunday…...

wondering what I did to my back last night….

missing my youth…LOL.

moving slowly after surgery…and really glad it's finally done…

wondering if I will actually make it to work tomorrow…and thinking I mostly likely won't…

happy that it is sunny and beautiful outside…

Beautiful indeed. It's a predicted high of 78°F/26°C today…

**watching "Hang 'Em High"...**

going to work pissed off as spending most of my weekend trying to fix a computer that some idiot infected by being an idiot….

feeling bad for my feeling bad bestie who has some funky joint virus….*hugs*

thinking I am all that and a bag of chips because I keep finding classmates that people sad.."oh you'll never find that person…we havent found them in 30 years….".....

wondering when the fuck spring might make an appearance…..

frustrated at my freakishly quick weight gain…. 4 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm not eating enough for that to happen. WTF?  I'm now 15+ pounds above where I should be, and summer's on the way.  Fuck. 

Just scheduled the last week of April off to complete home and landscaping projects. Going to re-do the entire area around our patio and lay down landscape fabric with cut-outs for the shrubbery before re-mulching because I just can't handle the weeds again this year. I should have done that in the first place. Thinking of building a brick BBQ pit next to the patio.

OH! We will need pictures.

My back hurts just thinking about it, but I'd love to take the week off and help.

Freaking out that Highway to Hell was on cable last night. I've been trying to get a copy of that movie for 15 years! Its a crime that its not available on DVD. The entire concept of Hellcop is effing brilliant. Kristy Swanson as the pretty blonde girlfriend, a young Ben Stiller as Hell's cook, Gilbert Gottfried as Adolf Hitler, Patrick Bergen as Satan (too perfect) and Lita Ford as a hitchhiker in Hell, plus a cameo by Jerry Stiller getting wasted by Hellcop. I've got to check and see if the Chiller Network is airing this again so I can find a way to record it.

sore from pre-easter rug cleaning last night….

unhappy about my sudden tape worm eating habits…

not sure about this growth on my face…..

wondering who might want to get a drunk dial on friday….

me! me! haha

In shock that it's already Wednesday.

Uncertain about a sudden change in plans.

Happy that the guy who would be my work crush if I didnt think that men are the root of all evil is in the office this morning.

thinking.. I don't think I have ever received a drunk dial…

can't believe my baby girl turns 17 tomorrow…

wondering if anyone else out there has gone through the depression, moods, ups and downs of a teenage girl…

if so.. are you as drained emotionally as I am?

looking forward to the long weekend…

glad my son made it home safe from a week in the Dominician…
