10 days!!!
I can't believe we are 10 days away from vacation! Wow. I've been doing some warm weather clothes shopping for shorts and tank tops etc so get prepared. I also bought two new bathing suits. I'm looking forward to a week away.

We had Austin's entire family over for lunch today. We served hamburgers on the bbq. I'm dead tired since I was cooking and on my feet since 9 am this morning, but we are having a nice relaxing evening at home and watching the Survivor Finale.


Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mothers Day to all of the Mom's out there! Hope you have a wonderful day and your children spoil you and show you they love you. And I hope that someday I will become a mom too!

Work
I'm really burnt out at work. We've been short staffed since October, and two months ago we finally were up to full staff, except the two new staff members had to be trained and are finally getting to a point where they are able to work a bit more independently. It's not that our environment is a hard one to learn, there is just a lot to learn about how the processes work etc. Last week, my boss gave his two weeks notice (which really ends up being one week becuase he is taking days off including a bunch this week....) and we are stupid busy. Morale is really low, and we are all stressed out.

We leave for Mexico in 16 days and I cannot wait. I'm sad about leaving Jones and George behind, but Austin's sister plans to stay at the house and watch over them so I feel a bit better knowing they won't be home alone the whole time. They are very social cats and so they love human contact. And they really like Laura. But still, I absolutely adore my cats, so while I am really looking forward to going away, a bit part of me wishes I could bring them with me (yep, I am a crazy cat lady).

I have beeen officially burnt out for a good one to two months now. Unfortunately it has resulted in me not enjoying my job very much, which is sad because I really liked it before that time. It's hard to talk about it, becuase I haven't enjoyed many of the other jobs I have had in the past, so my fear is that peopel will just say that I just hate all jobs. Which isn't true, I just have gotten myself into situations that were't great for my personaility etc. So we'll see. I think the full week off will do me some good, will do me a LOT of good actually.

It is absolutely beautiful in Denver, it's spring time, everything is blooming, the trees are growing leaves, the flowers are out, and the grass is turning green. I love this time of year. It's a comfortable temperature during the day and it's cool at night so we can leave the windows open to sleep. Love it!


Me with new hair cut and highlights
ta da!


Hair cut and highlights today
I am going at 1:30 today to go get my hair cut and get my hair colored and highlighted. I've been growing my hair out and it is below my shoulders now (and the longest my hair has EVER been in my entire life). At this time I usually cut my hair short becuase I'm sick and tired of dealing with it. I am liking it long, and since my hair turned curly all of a sudden it's been nice to be able to just wear it curly on days I don't want to blow dry it.


Baby Mama
We went to see the movie BABY MAMA this afternoon. It was cute, definately had some funny moments to it where I laughed out loud. I thought the movie was rated R, so I was expecting a bit more crude comedy, but it was still entertaining.

Otherwise, we have a quiet weekend ahead of us, which is never a bad thing. It's cold in Denver, and we are forecast to get some snow today. That's spring in Denver...
