Today = Me-Not-Thinking Day

Well, like most work days, I like to go home for lunch. Home is just a hop, skip and jump from the office and I like to give Joey, my cat, some mid-day attention. Today, I went home for some lunch, chillaxed on the couch for a while before getting ready. When it was time to go, I put my shoes on, grabbed the purse and headed out.

About 15 minutes later, while at work, I looked down to discover two different shoes! Today was jeans day and I was wearing some gray flip flops...after lunch, I was wearing a gray and brown flip flop! Needless to say, I've been trying to stay in my cube as much as possible. When I do have to walk somewhere, I've made it a point to give direct eye contact so they won't look down.

I'm only 25 and my mind is already starting to slip!  

PS: The Grippos and other box of chips are for our snack bar at work that I restock...I do not keep stock piles of food in my cube for myself :)

USA Weekend

My long weekend started off with my boss walking by me on Friday saying that I could leave whenever I wanted to. How awesome is that! I had to wrap up a few things and then headed out around 2:15 to hang out with my mom for a bit and go to spin class with her. That night was date night and Stu took me to Cheddars and to see Bad Teacher. The movie was funny but seemed like it could really offend some people.

Saturday, we celebrated my cousin Austin's 18th birthday. I cannot believe I'm 8 years older than an 18 year old nor can I believe she's 18! For her birthday, we went down to Camp on the KY in Nonesuch, KY for some cornhole, food, cake and presents. That night, Stu and I went to the tail end of Red, White and Boom at the ballpark (I hate calling it the Whitaker Bank Park...will always be Applebee's Park to me). We had a lot fun watching Craig Morgan (the last act) and watching the fireworks. I was hoping for a bigger fireworks show now that it's legal to buy the "good stuff" in Kentucky this year.

Sunday, I was able to sleep in. Stu and I registered for the Bluegrass 10,000 and headed to the pool to meet up with his brother and friend. It felt like we were on vacation between the scenery, poolside DJ, etc. After the pool we headed to 608 at Southland Christian Church and got some pizza afterwards (probably not the best carb load before a race). Stu and I decided to hit up the Lexington Philharmonic after dinner. They were playing outside at Gratz Park. Definately a different crowd from Red, White and Boom. The music sounded amazing and it was so neat to walk by all the people/vendors.

Monday started early! Stu was supposed to come pick me up around 6:15. I apparently do not tolerate alarm clocks when I'm still in deep sleep and turned off my 5:30 alarm to wake up, on my own, at 5:55. Yikes! Stu was early too and I hurried as fast as I could. The race went great. Perfect weather for a July morning. My favorite part (aside from the finish line) was getting to walk by all the vendors the next day. Ramsey's was handing out free grilled corn too!

After the race, we went home to shower/relax for a bit. After lunch we went to Starbucks where we decided it was time for a change...we went back to my house and I buzzed Stu's hair off. You could tell he was nervous but he looks SOOO good with his hair buzzed...who would of known! Here are the before/after pictures:

After

The weekend ended with a cookout at Stu's family's house. It was yummy and they were all shocked at his new hairdo!

I also freaked out today when I saw an article about commas from Oxford University. Now, I don't consider myself a grammar nerd by any means. I'm sure there are typos all over my blog. But this seriously disappointed me! Click to read the article. Anyhoo, I hope everyone had a great long weekend, got to see some fireworks, grill out and most importantly remember our troops.
