Yay Friday.  Yay, boss is out.  Yay it’s not as humid as it was the past several days. 

Yesterday was busy.  I have some software administration to do today that’s a PITA, but needs to be done.  Otherwise, I really need to dig out my desk.  It’s gotten truly awful.  Yesterday’s lunch was the frozen meal I had sitting in the office freezer for a couple weeks.  It was better than I thought.  Besides, it was either eat it or bring it back home – they’re doing the monthly fridge cleanup tonight.  I skipped the cookies offered at the lunch meeting, but then ended up being hungry later in the afternoon and went out and bought some cookies.  Duh. 

Didn’t do much last night.  Dinner was sort of serial snacking.  Some nuts.  Some cheese and rf Triscuits.  The 2^nd and last of the kraft easy mac n cheese that’s been hanging around the cabinet for a while because the first one didn’t impress me.  A piece of bread with butter.  No veggies.  Must go to the farmers market this weekend! 

I just watched some tv (including the Barbara Walters special on Farrah) and browsed some online stores.  Didn’t order anything yet.  I’ve decided it’s probably foolish for me to try and buy slacks online, so I gave that up. 

I also decided I hate the swimsuit I bought for the cruise last year.  I even remember wearing an older swimsuit I’d brought along as backup because I like it better.  I’ve mainly bought “cute” swimsuits in the past, but it’s kind of annoying when you actually try and do real swimming when the neckline lets too much water in, or the tankini top floats up around your body.  Not that I do much swimming at all, real or otherwise, but still…Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy a plain swimsuit with an x back and be done with it.  ( Like this swimsuit )  Why a swimsuit is even being (reluctantly) considered by me at all is because bf’s sister is having the 4^th of July cookout at her house this year and they had a nice pool installed last year.  I know I’ll want to take a dip, and not in the swimsuit I bought last year! 

Tonight is our block party, but I’m going to a charity event in which a friend of my late brother is participating.  If the block party is still going on, I’ll join it later. 

What else?  Nothing firm.  I want to hit the gym this weekend.  C’mon, just and hour!!  I desperately need a pedicure and I’d like someone else to do it, not DIY - I’m just not good at that stuff.  I need to return the expensive orthotic to the shoe store and bring in my pair of Keens to see if they can be made softer in the back heel area.  I need to shop for summer work clothes.  Grrr.  Oh, after all the rain and heat the weeds are taking over big time.  Wondering if bf can take a pass with the mower in the unplanted run of our border where it’s basically been taken over.  If he can cut the weeds back, then maybe we can till the soil and rake out the weeds and then cover the soil with weed fabric…I dunno.  I have the fabric.  I just don’t know if that’ll work.  And I think we’ll need different stakes to anchor the fabric into the soil.  We have pointy metal ones in front, but I worry about the dog getting hurt with those in the yard if they come out of the ground, and of course they will…Sigh. 

Have a good weekend everyone!
