You've already won!!!
I was opening my boss' mail one day last week, and in the stack was something from American Express, advising him that he's been given a Super Million Dollar Prize Entry number and, if his number matches the winning preselected number, he'll be a new millionaire! Ain't that grand?
How many of these stupid-ass things do you get in the mail? I admit, when I was a very stupid and impressionable young lady, I'd get these things in the mail and think I actually either had already won or could possibly win a bazillion dollars. I should retroactively smack myself. How many of the people who receive these actually believe there IS a contest and that they CAN win, and then order magazines or whatever the fuck they're selling, to increase they're 'chances of winning'?

Well, my exciting (ok, not so exciting) has almost come to a close. Got to leave work early on Friday cuz of a doctor's appt (no, REALLY!). I really like the doctor I have, she's awesome. So, she comes in to the little room they stuff you into, and she's looking about 5-6 months preggo. I hadn't been in 6 months, so I was obviously a little suprised. She best push that bugger out and come right the fuck back to work, because I finally found a doctor I like!! They're like hairdressers - once you find one you actually like, you old on for dear freaking life. The appt was just to get my BP checked (it started coming up high about a year ago, and I've been taking medicine - the beginning of the end, LOL).
My roommates were doin their own thing, and I just did mine. I went to see Batman Begins on Saturday afternoon - really great movie, I loved it! And I'm not a big fan of these superhero movies. But, it was well done and I'm glad I saw it. Everyone I know (or whose blog I read) raved about the movie, so I figured why not. The guy played Batman IS hot yummmmmmmmmmm.
Got home, and watched the end of Live8 - seeing Pink Floyd perform, especially Comfortably Numb, absolutely blew me away. Gave me chills. I would have loved to been home in Philly to see the show there!
Sunday I went to
Multnomah Falls and did some hiking and admiring the incredible views. I'd forgotten how utterly gorgeous this state really is. It's a completely uphill hike, up a mostly paved path, but there's no railings and about half way up the height started to freak me out so I started back down. It was mobbed, too many people on that little paved trail. Someone trips and knocks you the wrong way.... you're dead. Splat. Mountain pizza. I'll post some pics tomorrow or Wednesday.
I got home and went to the pool, since it was SUNNY AND HOT! I stayed about oh, 3 hours, and got some serious tan. I burned some too, so that would be end of my sunbathing for this weekend. But, it was a good time. Didn't do a whole lot that night.... I was pretty beat.
Today I got up, went to the gym and then headed over to see yet another movie, War of the Worlds. The effects were incredible, I really liked it. Kind of a cross between Signs and Terminator. Good flick. I tried not to think about Tom Cruise too much, ya know, self-preservation :op And thank God, I didn't have to sit through one single animal dying :)
I'm tryin to not spend a whole lotta money, since I'm moving in 3 weeks. We have an office "field trip" this week - Beavers game (San Diego's AAA team), my boss rented out one of the field boxes, always a good time. Friday night's the Alanis Morrisette concert, and Saturday I might be dog/house sitting for a week, which means MORE MONEY!
How was all of your weekends???
The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous, FINALLY!!
************************
So I get into work to find about a bazillion emails from our IT tech about all these classes I, along with some of the attorneys, have to take for our installation of ProLaw, which means I have to shift around everything else to accommodate this. I knew it was coming, just wasn't in the mood to deal with it full-force the morning after a 3-day weekend!
There are 2 large dogs running around the office causing mayhem - Gen, the Portland bufflesister, and Hanna, a golden retriever. Stuff WILL get eaten and/or broken, most likely much of both, today.
I hardly slept at ALL last night, I dragged my ass to the gym first thing this morning, before work, so I got here running on empty as it was, now all this? Where's the scotch!!!! :op
Not to mention, I just opened a pleadings binder to find several dead ant bodies nestled inside.... I think I need to run, now, and get out while I can!!! :o)
**UPDATE: Gen got into one of my boss' offices and got one of his shoes, so I finally managed to get the shoe back (wasn't easy let me tell you :op), so I threw the shoe back in his office and shut the door..... well, it um kinda locked! :op
One of the dogs just shed about 2 gallons of pee all over one of the very expensive oriental rugs... guess who just spent 1/2 hour cleaning that up? Everyone went out to lunch and apparently I'm on doggie duty (not to mention answering the phones and the front door) until someone comes back.
And, to top it all off....... I had two pieces of leftover pizza for lunch (what else? lol), I ran to go copy something real quick (shoulda known better, shoulda known better, I bet you can tell where this is going), came back and my last piece was GONE. Did I mention I'm soooooooooo getting drunk tonight? :op
