Monday Mornin... Feelin Good

It's so weird. I rarely am happy to be at work on a Monday... it’s usually the most dreaded part of a week. But today I feel great even though I didn’t sleep well last night, but ill get to that later in the post. As I mentioned in my last blog, this was a three day weekend for me. But today is business as usual; full five day work week. Which, again... makes me question my sanity on the fact that I'm happily sitting at my desk right now. So let’s dive in shall we?


Weekend Update:
Friday I had an eyebrow/hair appointment at Della Stella Salon & Spa. I love the way my hair turned out and my eyebrows look fab. While I was there, I offered to hang out with Heidi's (the owner of Della Stella and the person who dose my hair) daughter, Abby (8 yrs old). But I had to run an errand first. So I ran my errand, changed and picked up Abby. We hung around my house for a bit, watched some kiddy shows and then went to the mall where I was in way over my head. I told her that we could ride the teacups at the mall because that was like the only thing she wanted to do, so we did. Bad Choice. I got so sick feeling it was insane! That little girl sure can spin a teacup! Lol. Then we ran back to my house for a bit and hung out until her mom came and picked her up. I was supposed to go to closing night of the Jazz & Blues festival but I was feeling super sick at that point and took a nap. Later on, Casey came by and picked me up to put some food in my stomach. We went to Olive Garden. Long story short... we got a free meal thanks to an ancient server and endless excuses. Afterwards we drove by to say hi to my mom and congratulate her on 10 years of Jazz & Blues. Casey and I then went to Denny's and met up with his friends for a little bit, but I wasn’t feeling great still so we left and came back to my house to relax and watch Hook for a bit before he headed off.
Casey had to work Saturday so I was set in my mind that I wanted to do something superfun. I was down for Disneyland, Universal Studios, The LA Zoo, Alvera Street, the beach... anything. But my little sister and I couldn’t agree on anything so the two of us ran errands all day (which ended up being not so bad). First, we got bagels at Noah's and then ate up at my dad's house. After a good amount of lounging around, I decided I wanted to hit up the tanning salon and Madison decided she wanted her eyebrows waxed. So first we went to my tanning salon and I got my UV fix. Then we drove to Della Stella and Madison got her brows done. Then we decided to run some random errands around town, during which I made a great decision and bought TWILIGHT. Then we went home and relaxed. Casey called about 3:45 saying he was off work early (made my day) and I got ready for the night. He and I went to dinner and then decided we were in a cruising mood. We cruised around town for a bit in his truck and after a while, decided we wanted to relax for a bit and then call it a night. Between the time Casey left my house and the time Casey called me when he got home, I dove into reading TWILIGHT. and got pretty far into it.
Sunday was a great day too. It was fast and testimony meeting and Casey and I went to singles ward. It was great because the two of us (together) hadn't been there in a while. I love sitting in church with Casey. It’s a simple pleasure I thoroughly enjoy. I got a new calling as a member on the Enrichment Board ( I think that’s what its called) I’m in charge of the book club for relief society so ... cool. More reading in the future for me. I’m super excited about this calling and excited to work closely with the women in relief society. Hooray. After church we hung around Break the Fast for a while and headed over to Casey’s house to hang out with his family. Shortly after eating, Casey went upstairs with a bad headache and layed down for a while. While he was resting, I dove right back into reading TWILIGHT and pretty much couldn’t put it down all night. It's been so long since i've enjoyed a good book. Casey even said that he never saw me read and I’m glad he thought it was cool (yet slightly nerdy- but hey... that’s me in a nutshell. hah) we watched our weekly episode of Extreme Makeover Home edition which was such a great episode! They built a home for an Army family and it was so touching. I love this country! I left pretty late but made it home it what felt like no time at all. I got home and got cozy before calling Casey to say goodnight. After we talked on the phone for a few min, I felt my eyes getting heavy and we said goodnight. But after I layed there for a while, I couldn’t sleep so I picked up Twilight again and was up a few more hours. I didn’t go to sleet until like 1:30 and even then, I didn’t want to put the book down but I knew id hate myself in the morning when I was exhausted.

This morning I was pretty tired when I woke up and am amazed I made it to work in one piece but I sat at my desk and read more and then my boss came in and reminded me that last night was a special episode of The Hills and then the VMAs. I had no real desire to watch the VMAs but I did want to watch to see Britney Spears open the show and then see if she won anything. I saw pictures from the VMAs and omigosh... she looked So great... I felt like I was looking a picture from the 1990's when she was fresh and everything. I was kinda sad I missed The Hills [click to watch for your self] but I watched it here and it was a great episode. Best episode of the season I think. But I think this post has been long enough without me going into every detail of the episode... there’s another episode tonight so I’m excited. What I’m not excited for is my ortho appointment after work toady. Getting my braces tightened is never a great experience for me. It’s always the same three teeth that kill me and then nothing happens... they don’t move... nothing. oy. Also, tonight is an event I really want to go to but I don’t think ill be able to make it after my ortho appointment... I’m going to try though. We'll see.

But I think that’s all the excitement I have. This week is expected to be very uneventful. I'm kinda looking forward to that. We'll see. Thanks for sticking with me this far!
See ya next time! :)
