Home day

I wonder why the weekends seem to go by so fast. However, last night Darcy and I were bored. Didn't feel like watching TV and really had nothing to do so we went to the movies. We watched Atonement. It was a little slow but the story unfolded and developed and then it concluded and to my dismay it was not expected but that is what makes a story tragic...like Jack and Rose. We had pop and popcorn and it was an evening out of the house. I guess we need to find things to do when it will just be us and the girls are gone off leading their own lives. We did get a DQ Blizzard and shared the 2 burgers for $3.99 on the way too since we didn't get around to cooking dinner. This was Chinese New Year week and we did all wear red to work and had decorations up to the enjoyment of our asian members. I didn't have a good evening at Wings though on Thursday and that was very disheartening. I would like to retire and move on from that job. I am having challenges there and it is getting to be a huge toll to work full-time and head off twice a week to another job...it must be time to call it quits at some point.
I had these roses at my desk at work from Lorraine..it was very sweet of her. She wanted to thank me for all the help I have given her as she settles down to work at Dogwood. I really never expect anything at all.
This week I work on Monday night as Karen wanted to swap for Wednesday which means that I can go to WW as well as the Aftergrad meeting, I guess.
I can't seem to get myself to work on tidying up and cleaning the house as I seem able to just let it go for another time.
It was nice speaking to both Jot, Jen and Mum for Chinese New Year. I think we are aiming for a trip to Malaysia this Fall and I really do need to plan for that trip....which means getting back on track and losing a few pounds so that I can go clothes-shopping and come back with some new stuff. In truth, I really need to get back on track and eat properly and get to that Alpine Fitness gym. So far I have been to Lunch Crunch twice and I really enjoy that class alot with Kathy Bramley...I like the combo of aerobics, ball and weights very much.
So...back to counting points tomorrow properly and with some effort to get back on track!

Chrissy has done well the first week of the semester but I know she is counting down to be out of the High school fray. Caiti is home on Friday for a reading break and she is still confused and not sure where she is at with James at the moment too. I hope that she works it out. She will need to move off campus this Fall so she may have to look for a house or an apartment to rent this summer. I know she will figure things out...at the moment I think she wants to serious contemplate buying her own first car and get rid of Walter the temperamental van.
We started watching Survivor Micronesia because I am in the Survivor pool at work and could potentially win some cash-o-la...highly doubt it though with my random pick of Mary Sartain with the large boobs in a hot pink bikini...we shall see.
Off to play Scrabble on Facebook now.
