  No fun plans for me. I've got to clean house and pack for CO.

  Today is apparently National Employee Appreciation Day and my work is having a lunch. I usually plan the lunches and they sent an email on Friday asking me to, but I was out Friday and Monday. I declined because I had to get caught up on the work from those days and also was given a project to do. Now I'm wishing I would have just done it. They gave it to someone else who is doing all the food herself instead of having it catered. I usually spend $400+ and bring in fajitas, BBQ or other yummy food. (Which I pride myself on because our other locations always do pizza or sandwiches.) She only spent around $200, despite being authorized to spend more, and is making chili dogs in a crock pot. I guess at least it's free food.

  SO GLAD IT'S FRIDAY! I have a headache and was "this" close to calling in sick today but mustered up the strength to come in. Now I'm counting down until I go home.

  I don't know what we will do this weekend but I know what I'm NOT going to to...I'm not going to sit around all weekend obsessing over my betas! Maybe DH and I can rent a boat and go float around the lake. Maybe we will go see a movie. Maybe we will go wander around Whole Foods. I've been craving Vietnamese Pho and Creme Brulee so that's definitely going to be squeezed into the agenda too. Dog park too? We shall see! I hope everyone has a good weekend!
