I should be in bed asleep, I should be exhausted after not just a thirteen hour day at work but the last 2 hours of it feeling like I was drowning in dishes. I was definitely in the weeds those last hours. Kind of weird, normally I am getting all my dishes and such done and leaving from an event about half an hour to an hour before all the rest of us who stay to till end leave. Tonight I was the last one done. I think it had to do with the fact that they didn't have as much in the way of tear down to do no dance floor and as it was a plated dinner no buffet. Though there was a little buffet area for appetizers and the Banana foster stations. Actually it was the blasted banana fosters station that knocked me back. the cooks didn't bring their frying pans with them when they shut down the station so I get them at the end of it all. Six frying pans, two containers of left over banana guts, butter containers, brown sugar containers...you get the idea, lots of things I should have had done like 2 hours before and in the sinks not in the dishwasher... being brought to me at the tail end of all the glasses, bowls, spoons, and the plates that hadn't already been done. They had sooooooo many glasses. thankfully no coffee cups. You know something about those six frying pans made me want to scream! Maybe because I knew they should have already been done, maybe because I knew that a couple of them would be soaking over night. I know in my rush I forgot something. I left my drink but there is something else I will remember it tomorrow I am sure.
I have been a bit...umm... quiet lately. Mainly because with moving in and all I have been busy unpacking and such. OK I have been online alot I just have enjoyed being able to navigate the web however i want so writing on here has been low on the list. Sorry. SO let's see...what to tell, what to tease with...
Have pictures up on my living room/dinning area walls. Have the ones picked out for the bedroom just haven't gotten them hung yet. My kitchen is well strangely fitted out for dishes, pots, and such. I am going to have to buy a new set of dishes because while I can and do eat mainly off of salad and dessert plates most people would prefer to eat off of a dinner plate with a fork. Yeah a set of silverware might be needed too. But hey with my George foreman, blender and a dessert plate and a fork I am good to go. Just not to have anyone over to eat with me.
Finally got the right cords needed to to get my DVD player and TV to work together So I can now watch movies. I love TV especially a couple of networks but i haven't had cable in my home in years. Now for a while there one of the people I stayed with did and yes it was fun but really I prefer to waste my time online and not be a slave to some program or other. Not that I wouldn't get it in a heartbeat if I could just justify the cost, I can't so I won't. BUT it is tempting... baseball, food network, law and Orders, CSIs and right now the Olympics...
Went to Galveston with CP and the dogs this past Monday. It was my pups first trip to the beach. She liked the sand not so much the surf. I will have video of some of it soon hopefully if I can figure out how to get the video off my phone and on the computer... I had a really great day. Got some sun but didn't get burned, well my part did..need to get a hat or something...got to spend the day relaxing and having fun. Not often do I get to do both at the same time. When I get the video thing worked out I will post the videos from that day....
Tuesday was the "hurricane" it was a tropical storm but as it rained all day and flooding was a possibility they never really opened work at all. So I got to relax all day. Not really was doing some unpacking stuff and staying home so I guess I got to relax but it wasn't fun. though that night I had my first guests. mE and her baby came and spent the night on their way back south. I really did enjoy them being here. Do not see them near often enough. Of course the fact that until what two weeks ago they were living in California might have played a roll in me not seeing them enough.
I guess the tease is pictures are coming...video too...of the beach, the visit, the apartment...maybe even a few of me much younger just for the fun of it...
