Rather bummed that I have to be back to work in the morning. Time off goes by so fast. Not sure I am county-ready but at this point I don't have a choice!
I went to a 5 year old's birthday party today. (Happy Birthday, Madison!) That whole kid's thing is so far removed from my life. But I enjoyed it. The kids were super cute. Most of them. One of them had a major meltdown. Guess he thought it was ok to chew gum and eat cake all at the same time. His dad wasn't keen on that idea. Thus, the meltdown! I had a corn dog and carrot sticks. When was the last time you had that?! Will post this week about vacation. Also...I have an upcoming move. Moving back to Escondido. I love living in San Marcos but the opportunity in Escondido is too good to pass up. Will post more about that later too.
Absolutely loved my Nook on vacation. What a great way to read. I read a 400 page book this past week. Been a long time since I have had enough time to read that much in 4 days.
My new favorite thing...gel polish. I have had the same polish on my nails for 8 days and not a single chip! Perfect for women who don't want acrylic nails. I'm a believer! Not crazy about how much it costs but for once in a while - it is awesome.
Off to bed...I have to set an alarm clock for the first time in a week. Yikes.
Have a good week! ♥

TGIF
Got behind in posting again. The last few weeks have been exhausting. Work is just kicking me in the butt. So much to do. And I really don't want anyone telling me "it's job security". Not what I want to hear right now. It's kind of given me writer's block. I feel brain dead everytime I sit at a computer. Vacation is in 16 days. Looking forward to taking my Nook and spending a few hours every day on the Serenity deck of the ship.
Today is Friday - made it through another week! Well almost. I still have to go to work today. I don't have any weekend plans although I wish I did. Living in Southern California you really should never be at a loss for what to do. But I am.
I will be back over the weekend. My goal is to post about even just one thing that I went out and did! TGIF♥

Catching Up
I don't have anything earth-shattering to say so I will just fill you in and catch you up on my life.
My dear friend, Esther Gerardo, passed away on Saturday. Esther was such a sweetheart. Sweet, kind, generous, and a beautiful christian. She will be missed by so many people. I am very close to Jeanette (Esther was her mom) and the rest of the family. I love them all. I volunteered to coordinate the post-memorial reception. We are going with a Mediterranean food theme. I need to meet with the ladies at the church who normally provide the food for occasions like this. I don't want to step on their toes but I do want to ensure that everything is perfect and just what the family would like. I will need to meet with them in the next week or so.
Work has been a beast. I like that word...I learned that term from someone. It's fun. I have had to work late a lot of days the whole month of January. I am tired. SO tired. But when it comes to bedtime, I don't want to go to bed. So I am finding myself up until 12 or 1 in the morning and let me tell you...5ish comes awful early! I am going to take a Tylenol PM in just a few minutes and see if I can at least get to sleep by 11. I can use the extra hour.
The food blog that I started is real fun. However, visually, it's not what I want. And I will be the first to say that I am NOT computer savvy. I have watched how-to blogging videos on You Tube until I am ready to scream yet I still don't get it. The other problem I have is my photography. It's possible I don't have the right camera although I think that my camera can do a lot more than I think it can. So I need to figure that out too. I am getting some feedback on the site and have found that people are liking it. I have even had a couple of people try the recipes and so far - they have been a hit. It will take me a while but I will fine tune it and eventually hope that more of the public will read it once it looks a little better! The website is http://www.foodwithjules.blogspot.com/ If you have any comments or suggestions to help me make it better, bring 'em on! I can use both negative and positive feedback.
And you are now caught up on the exciting (or maybe not) adventures in my life.
Before I close, I just have to post a cute little picture of my 1 year old little buddy, Hudson. His mom, Heather, posted this on my FB. I love this baby - he is such a cutie! If you recall a couple of weeks back I posted a couple of pics of Madison with the Chipmunks when we went to see ChipWrecked. Hudson is Maddie's little brother. We bought him these adorable jammies for his 1st birthday... by the way, Esther was Hudson's great-grandmother! ♥
