Another fun and exciting Saturday at work!

Maybe if I am positive then I won't feel like I've wasted half my weekend by the time I get home today. :-) Yeah, right.

So here I am at work again. On a Saturday. Woo-hoo! Okay, enough of that. The one positive to Saturdays at work are that on Friday nights I get the house to myself mostly. Last night Doug went to Aaron's for some D&A time. Get it? I'm sure you do. Anyhow, he ended up staying the night there, so more pluses, I didn't have to be completely cramped while I slept last night. Not that I don't want him there, but it is nice to get a decent night's sleep when I know I'm dreading coming to work. Plus my allergies have kicked in so my sleeping is even more off! Unfortunately, I didn't get much accomplished last night. Watched too much bad TV and about 3 loads of laundry. I just wasn't up for much else. Doug made dinner for us before he left (guilt-induced, no doubt) and I ate too much. It was spaghetti and I overdid it with the bread. Then to top it off I needed to get the garlic taste out of my mouth so I ate a couple of handfuls of chocolate cereal. It didn't help. And it just made me crave more sugar. My stomach hurt too much to actually do anything about it, thank goodness. And this morning I was good and had my shredded wheat (okay, so it's frosted) cereal and yogurt. I had coffee too, but it had sugar-free creamer in it. Wow! I can't believe I have written about so much crap so far!

Anyhow, on my agenda for today, aside from getting my work done is to find an easy chicken and dumpling recipe or chicken and biscuits. You know, something like a chicken pot pie. I want to make it for dinner tomorrow. And I'm going to make brownies for dessert. Maybe we'll even invite company over. Who knows. I wish you and Josh were here, so we could invite you over!

Did I tell you I got my dress and it fits? I might need to get some control top undergarments or shapers, if I don't lay off the foods that make me bloated. Guess I'll really need to work on cutting out the salt this week. The wedding is a week from today. And it is a long weekend, since it is Labor Day and then back to work for 4 days and then I'm off for 5 more! Doug is too. Only, he's got the whole week off. I am working the last two days of it. Mostly because I don't want the guilt trip that comes with being off for a whole week. I don't think we're going to be doing much of anything. The only thing we want to do is go to the zoo. Mostly I think we'll just be hanging out around the house. That will be nice though.

Tonight we are going out with Aaron and Lindsey. Dinner and a movie, I think. Lindsey called me Thursday and invited me to go to Kohl's with her today, but I was stuck working and then she invited me to go out with her and her girlfriends last night, but I declined that one too. Mostly because I had to work this morning and didn't want to be out late, but also because I think her friends are a little too trendy and well, you know..., for me. I definitely wasn't in the mood to play odd girl out. I feel bad though because I like Lindsey and I like hanging out with her. I guess it is my turn to do the inviting. Maybe we can go out next Friday night, when the boys are at Ronnie's bachelor party. It sucks when you are trying to form new friendships. It's not like you and Josh, where Doug and I can both claim you as friends. In this instance we are going out with Doug's friend, Aaron and Aaron's girlfriend, Lindsey. At some point, I'd like to just say we're seeing our friends', Aaron and Lindsey tonight. Do you know what I mean?
