happy w3

it's 8a.m. and feels very much like a saturday. i'm not at work. i'm spending my morning catching up on web sites. i'll be going to a cookout in a couple of hours. and i need to pack for a long weekend in texas. how could that not feel like saturday?

i got my official work cell phone yesterday. that doesn't make me very happy. it's not bad to look at, and it does have a nice blue light when it rings. but seriously, i do not like telephones. and i don't like hearing from work people when i'm not in the office. so when you put the two together and form, as my boss jokingly called it, "constant telephonic contact" ... i could pretty much puke.

did anyone else notice that post secret didn't update this sunday? i suppose everyone's allowed to take a vacation ... but i need my new secrets! i do like the basis of his next book though - publishing secrets he hasn't posted on the web before. that should increase his sales. all the folks thinking "well, i never made it on the site ... but maybe it'll be published in the book! that'd be awesome! i gotta buy it & find out!" i've never sent in a secret. i need to come up with something juicy.

i'm taking my camera with me to the parade & the game tonight. oh yeah, it's w3, and i'm spending at least 8 hours today working. i'm really hoping it doesn't rain on our parade. but even if it does - you'll probably be seeing pictures.

my packing-for-texas goal is get everything into my carry-on bag. i've never had my luggage get lost when i've checked it, but it's just so much easier to not have to lurk about the luggage carousel waiting for my bag to appear. plus i feel much more self sufficient that way. i should really go start another load of laundry so i can pack.

i'm totally stoked about going to texas. yes, i said stoked. i figure i haven't seen erin in two years. and i haven't spent more than a couple of hours with her in probably 7 years. so this weekend should be very good for us. although i gotta say no one at work is being very encouraging about this trip. i say "i'm going to texas" and everyone says "ugh, it's gonna be SO hot & humid there. have fun ... " and i say "i will have fun, thank you very much!" and hope i don't sweat more profusely than anyone else. :)

i didn't do a june update on my 28 goals. they're all about the same, probably. this month should mark some progress in a couple of the areas.

i've seen a few other cute houses online that i'd like to go see. yes, i know that means i need to actually call a real estate agent. and i will. when i get back from texas, i will call her. and i will go see houses. and maybe i will buy one. and then invite you over for tea.

alright - i'm off to do laundry. and shower. and eat breakfast. and pack. if you don't have plans yet, you should come to the crown point parade. i'll be paying special attention to the court-house side of the square ... i could give you candy! or a button! or money! or a big ol' kiss on the cheek! how can you pass that up?

happy w3! (that's wednesday without work)
