Ode to Leap Day

So apparently I like to post in two's lately, with the second being an article. At least I'm reading?

Anyways, here's an article about leap day that I found interest.

Long hours? Understatement of the century.

So I worked 14 hours today (that may be a new record) and I've already worked a total of 49 hours since Monday morning (that'd be 4 days). Tomorrow I plan to cut short so Kelly and I can go see "The Other Boleyn Girl". Probably about 8 and a half hours. Then at least another 8-10 on Saturday. So I should get a total of 65-68 hours in this week. Last week I made it to 60.5.

Heh, it's like a race or something. I've gotta go to bed now.

Total Lunar Eclipse tomorrow!

Here's a link to info about the total lunar eclipse that's happening tomorrow!

This is where life gets monotonous...

So, between tons of work, the occasional dancing (1 or 2 times a week), and the occasional other happening, my life is definitely settling down. Which means I'm starting to get bored. I need to figure something out, and soon, so I don't actually get bored, because boredom is never a good thing.

P.S. If anyone knows of a cute decent guy to send my way... by all means feel free! I'd love the company! (Ok, no I'm not desperate, just getting bored.)

Sick all week

I was sick with the flu all week. I woke up with a fever Monday morning and it fluctuated up and down thru Wednesday night. Thursday I woke up with a below normal temperature and I've been getting better since. I'm still working on getting my energy back, but I'm feeling pretty good today.

In other news, my Valentine's date was wonderful. We went to Bears Tooth Grill for appetizers before the show and then Club Paris afterwards for a more substantial dinner. The food was good. The show was awesome though! It was flamenco, "Carmen: El Baile". The flamenco dancing was amazing and the very traditional live music was excellent. :)

Then last night we went to see Definitely, Maybe, which is a really cute good movie. Afterwards though I had to let this guy, Josef, know that I wasn't interested in a long-term relationship with him, which he seemed to take well enough, but I still hate to tell people those kinds of things. I'm too nice I think sometimes.

Anyways, that's my week. Today a few girlfriends and I are going to see Hairspray! :D

A date!

So... I have a Valentine's date! And with a week to spare too! ;) Anyways, he's a cute sweet guy named Josef. We've only been on 2 dates so far, but he's a lot of fun to talk to and fun to hang out with.

Food!!!

So tonight after work I met up at Super Suppers with a number of other people from work. We spent the next 2 hours putting together dinner entrees for ourselves that the firm then paid for. I love my job! Anyways, so I now have a freezer packed full of a dozen 2-3 serving meals (and these are good sized servings). Yay!!! No more grocery shopping for a month! Well, except maybe salad and milk and avocados (if they look decent) and a few other perishable items. ;)
