Out, out, damn spot!!

So, the D-man had to go in to work last night to do some stuff. So, I decided to paint my toenails and relax and watch the new mini-show by my favorite horror writer that comes on at 9pm. So, I get to painting and with one slip of the hand I knock my Opi "Cajun Shrimp" nail polish all over our cream colored carpet. Rock on.

What to do? What to do?

So, I spend the next 30 minutes trying to use nail polish remover. (by the way, this is a bad idea) This works on the first couple of splotches, but damn that polish dries quickly. So then, I get this idea. I will cut it out. It's really only on the top layer of the carpet(and it's kind of in a pretty pattern). So, back down we go with my little orange-handled scissors. I got most of it out, but it took 2 hours.

Note: When buying fingernail polish remover (for removal from carpet, that is), do not by the non-acetone kind. It's some kind of awful stink! My son woke up twice in the night even though we put a towel under his door to attempt to block the stench. We had to sleep with the bedroom door open and the 2 fans on full-blast. I feel sick today.

I just wish I'd thought of the scissors first. Some days, I'm not so smart. :-)

Time = Monday

Have you ever had the feeling that you just keep having a Monday. It's like that line in "Office $pace"..."Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays." (yeah, cheesey, but so appropriate.)

That's what I feel like every week. It's Monday until it's Thursday. Because at least when it's Thursday, it's one day closer to Friday which means it's one day closer to Saturday.

Sad...I know. I like my job. That's the weird part. I really do.

Irked

You know what irks me...when someone says, "I felt like the third wheel." That bugs me. I believe the saying is "I felt like the fifth wheel". 5 not 3. A third wheel is a tricycle, people!!

However, please correct me if I'm wrong.

There, I feel better. Have a GREAT day!

Time Away...from WORK! Rock on.

I am back to work for the first time in 7 days. That's right, folks. Count 'em...7 days. I'm actually in a good mood b/c not only is it my first day back...it's Friday. Heck, yeah!

Things I did in the past 7 days:
1) Took my 2 1/2 year old to the GA Aquarium by myself. (...and this is why I drink...)
2) Saw "Superman Returns" (awesome flick)
3) Had a date night, much needed, with the D-man.
4) Went to a pool party for a friend's birthday. Fun. Except for that whole "bathing suit" issue.
5) Saw "The Devil Wears Prada" with my mom.
6) Walked my son down to the OR for his ear surgery (3rd set of tubes) and watched as they put him under. I still can't think about it without tearing up. (ugh!~) You'd think I would be used to it by now. 3rd times the charm, right?
7) Spent some much-needed time with my husband and little one.
8) Watched "Serenity", surprisingly good flick. I was impressed, but then again I love Joss Whedon's stuff ("Buffy", "Angel")
9) Realized I watch too much stuff. However, I did exercise 5 out of the 7 days I was off and lost about 3 lbs. Not just from the exercise, but b/c my a$$ wasn't glued to my chair in front of a computer for 8 hours a day...and hey, I think I need a snack.

Hopefully, I can keep it up. I've done well so far today. Just have to remember to exercise tonight... after the neighborhood cookout and I get the boy to bed and D-man goes to play poker...perhaps. If not, I will definitely do it when I get up in the morning with the boy. :-)
