The Latest and Greatest!!!!

I know I haven't really been on much lately. I've been SUPER busy! I've been babysitting on all of my days off and I absolutely LOVE the kids! They are adorable and so precious! Then, in the "in-between" times, I've been working on heading up the 20 year reunion for Harvard. Though at a distance, everyone has been pitching in and been a great support. We're having a decent response and JUST MIGHT have a well know Midwest band to play! Talk about big time! CHHS PALES in comparison!

Then, I started going to the gym last week. And ya know what, I LOVE IT! SUZANNE... you HAVE to join me!!!! It's right here at Libbie Place. First, I would no longer be the YOUNGEST woman there and second, it's about 30-45 minutes a day and fun! Seriously. I'm a huge anti-gym person, but I actually enjoy this (though I DID happen to push myself a little yesterday working out some aggravation on what seems to be me beating a dead horse; UGH, the thighs are KILLING ME). But, I'll be there again tomorrow a.m.

The job I posted for in Corporate didn't pan out because I haven't been with the company "a full year" even though I have just the skills they're looking for (total BS if you ask me). That's fine; it just means that if they don't come through I'll take an offer elsewhere where I can be paid what I'm worth (plus, every time I ask someone what's in Akron, OH, I get "Nothing"). Not to mention, it'd be tough for my roommate to come up with the security dep. balance in a month!

Let's see... I worked a DOUBLE tonight! That's ok, I'm racking up the "you owe me BIG TIME"'s with my boss! My BP the other day after ANOTHER call on my day off resulted in a BP of 178/136. I haven't had a day off w/o a work call in over a month... well, yesterday was actually the first. I get to see my "friend" in less than a month; and overnight in the DC area... I CAN'T WAIT!

I’m DYING to see 27 Dresses - the movie about "moi" (lol). I have THREE DAYS off this coming weekend and don't know WHAT to do with myself! I almost feel a little spoiled... NAH! I might try out Manea's "Free Hugs" campaign at Short Pump Town Center (tee-hee)? Lastly.... I'd LOVE to take in a Joshua Radin/Ingrid Michaelson concert! The closest one so far in is Philly in March. Don't know if I can swing it or not. And I'd LOVE to have people go with me. I'm trying to campaign and get them closer to RIC.

Add a comment, post a reply and send me your thoughts.

LOVE TO ALL!

And the winner is.....

My heart skipped a beat tonight....in an excited way (I know, it's silly).

I watched the tail end of the Peoples Choice Awards tonight ("work" took the beginning); the "Queen" looked awesome all dressed up for JUST the camera tonight- I give her props! Of course, I was more or less anxious to see who won Best New Drama.

If you've been following my blogs, you'd already know who I was pulling for. When they announced it, I let out a "YES!" and my heart skipped it's beat when they showed him... the man of the night...."Mick St. James" (aka Alex O'Laughlin). In the words of an old family friend, Mrs. Shields "HUBBA, HUBBA"!

CONGRATS go out to the cast of "Moonlight"!!! I've loved Sophia Myles since watching her in Tristan & Isolde. O'Laughlin carries that aire of mystery with him. And the stories actually keep you coming back. I'm looking forward to when the strike is over and the greedy hollywood execs give them their well deserved raises. I need more Moonlight!
