London = Jealousy

On Friday my parents and their friends leave for London.  I'm so excited for them and even more jealous.  Mainly because the weather there is in the 70's and dips to the 50's for the evening... hell ya.  I could definitely handle that.  But with my jealousy aside... they are going to have a blast and I can't wait for them to go and have a lovely time and then come home and tell us all about it!

Have fun Mom and Pops... and remember all the things we told you, and be safe and don't talk to strangers and keep your wallet in your front pocket....

Mom and her girlfriend are going to the Palace to get a glance at Kate's dress.  Eeekkk!  So fun!

How great is this guy?

The Dust is Settling

I'm back in my own home.  After almost 2 weeks of hotel stays and mini-vaca's; I slept in my bed for the first time this weekend.  And it was glorious.  Due to the plumbing disaster we had in June, we definitely had to have some work done on the house to make it livable.  So we decided to bundle some more additional work at the same time for a major 2+ week work session.  Not going to lie - it made me cranky; very cranky.  Especially when you have those days when you just want to come home from work and put something comfy on and watch TV.  But instead there is an inch of saw dust on the sofa and the stairs have been removed from your bedroom.

But... that is all past now.  James get MVP in the husband category.  Upon my arrival Friday evening from a work trip - he made sure my poochie was back home, the house had been cleaned and even had all the laundry done!  On top of working a very busy "Mary Kay Convention" week.  And best of all, there was no man in my house named Ricardo kicking up more dust.

Here's a "During" photo of our stairs.  Can you say Tetanus shots?

In-N-Out Burger

Today some coworkers and I took a field trip to In-N-Out Burger.  It was pretty good.  Not sure I'd wait in that line again.... it's been open over a month and the lines are still around the block.

I went with some veterans who schooled me how to order off the menu. 

Single, Animal Style with Fries.

Vaca

Things have been a bit stressful around these parts.  Work, our house under major construction (we've lived in a hotel the past few nights due to the chaos) and just other fun life factors that always seem to surface at once.  My nephew's lost their Grammy this past week too, so the entire family has been on a less than positive note.  BUT tomorrow night James and I leave to spend some much needed time with old friends for an extended weekend.  It's not a big vaca (we won't be partaking in one of those lovely things this year).  But it will do.  It will do.

Help

Today I would like these options made available to me at my desk.
