this week

it's been another busy week. bradley was in north carolina working on a new store, he had an interview for another job at work, and i spent the week working, battling allergies, and hanging out with sammy. i also managed to run a few times.

one of the best parts of the week was friday, when i spent most of the day trying to farm out some of the things i've taken on at work that has made my work/life balance get a bit out of control again. i'm always hesitant about asking others to take things on because i don't want it to appear that i think they aren't busy and i'm really busy. however, being that i have been down the road of working too many hours for years at a time, 3 weeks was my limit this time. when it doesn't die down after a couple of weeks, that's my signal that things are out of balance.

friday night we hung out for a bit at ryan and pam's next door. i haven't been feeling well again this week because of my allergies and haven't slept well because i didn't feel well. i wanted to just hang around the house and not venture too far.

saturday i got to sleep in and felt better than i had all week, which wasn't actually great...i spent the whole afternoon with tana...we went to macarthur center and ate at nordstrom cafe (YUM!), and went to see the other boleyn girl...it was a great movie and i enjoyed it even more than i thought i would. then we browsed a few stores and a bought a jacket and a utensil at williams-sonoma.

saturday night we spent at mike and lisa's for game night with them, cheryl and albert, and friends we recently met, leanne and tony. it was a great time...we ended up on the deck just socializing and being stupid...it was a nice outlet after another busy week. i really couldn't have planned a more relaxing saturday.

this morning, i'm hanging out in bed with sammy...posted a note on craig's list about selling all of our VHS tapes, and now i'm watching one of my favorite shows..one about real life crime dramas..murders mostly...it's weird i know..i'm mesmerized by people who do crazy things....and i'm catching up on email and other things. and you can see, i'm feeling lazy....no captial letters today.

it's nice to have no big obligations today and to see the sun shining again...after 10 days of rain and no sun, i was wondering if we had secretly been transported to seattle or something.
