Hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy, new Weekenders. Welcome!
Nons, I really have to tell you what your wife gets? Diamonds.
Yes, been working today. Making clear vinyl walls for a restaurant patio.
Thanks for filling in for me on the DJ duties. I miss the time spent looking for appropriate music for the Weekends.
My feet hurt.

My weekend is not starting off well. Went to the gym to go to an aerobics class, but it was cancelled. Tempted to work more on this project I've been working on all day, but I think I am just going to post on SR until the Friday night chat meeting.
I have spinning tomorrow, work that will take up Saturday and Sunday for these two projects I have. Projects will be due Thursday, but if I can get them done, I may be able to relax a bit.

Just lovely. The kitty, the fire crackling, the blinds perfectly set at half-way.
*sigh*
I went for a long walk, now I don't want to cook, so maybe I won't . I have some mixed nuts in shells - love to sit with a bowl and a nutcracker, it's pretty satisfying.
I think I'll get in jammies and watch TV. I've been watching Restaurant Impossible and Hotel Impossible. Fun, reality series where they try to save failing businesses.
It's 5 o'clock, after all.(^^that's the emo you get with : yawn:

Seeing that a couple people mentioned 2015 goals, I'd like to throw a few in the pot! For 2015 I'd like to stay sober (obviously!), read a book a week, lose about 30 pounds and pay off most of my student loan debt (and its pretty sizable). I have a feeling that kicking booze from my life should help me achieve all those goals

Well, MrsLB got back from the hair dresser (why do they call it that?) at 3 PM.
We debated dinner, settled on afternoon delite. And hamburgers. Made 3 - next one is mine. 3 hour nap was good.
I was invited to join neighbor and his buddy from work for some man time at his place. Same guys I chauffeured around in summer getting wasted. Think I'll just hang here and netlfix.
Mrs is studying - all night - for final Monday. Then it's a couple weeks free. Party tomorrow night.

I am in!
Week one of work over! I was very very nervous but I am settling in. I met some nice people and even got a Christmas party invite but I made a polite decline. I am becoming more sociable (having coffee breaks and some lunch breaks with my co-workers) but I am not yet ready to walk into a room full of strangers.
My boss praised me today - I was on my own in the office all afternoon yesterday and she said "I like your neat handwriting and your clear and informative phone messages. Keep up the good work!" - high praise indeed
I can do this 8:30 - 4:30 thing! I want to cry when I think of all that time I wasted hiding myself away. I have gone to my folks for the weekend. I'll say two things about my mom: (a) she can be incredibly annoying but (b) she is an amazing cook! Brother and fiancee are arriving in two weeks and it's party time!!
Here is some Irish dancing to get us in the weekend mood:
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

non - my wife said to me - NO JEWELRY! I gave her diamonds a few years ago and she was mad that I wasted money on such silliness (her words). She was supposed to make a list. But who knows.
She asked for my list. I said you can re-wrap the oven mittens you got for me last year and give them to me again. It's what I asked for. But they don't fit right nor are the designed for real cooks. Still 'brand new'. And she gave me a fish griller thingy - I already have one. Both items are still in original condition, fish basket never unpackaged. So I can ask for something or I can write down the exact model number if I ever want something I really want. The always popular case of beer and a bottle is not on my list this year.

Mrs Non is the toughest person to buy gifts for that I have ever met. Mainly because she will never ask for what she really wants and will even say she doesn't want anything - but it's a trap. I have fallen for it before. 12 years ago I was the butt of a joke going around her office on how to NOT buy gifts for your wife's birthday. She might tell me 'no jewelry', but she doesn't mean it.
