30 Fun things in 30 Days: Day 10

I am not really sure what i am doing here either

Today I went to see my dentist.  Now some people don't like the dentist, but I do.  My favorite part is when the hygienist scrapes my teeth with that two ended pirate hook.  The rest of it kinda hurts, but the scraper bit makes up for it.  I had lunch with a few people I love, made alcoholic melon, then hung out with some lovely lady friends.  Then I realized I am an old 30 year-old, and went home and went to bed.  Oh, and a friend gave me a homemade pair of earrings.  She is bad-ass, as are most of the people I love.      

30 Fun things in 30 Days: Day 9

Today I took the girls for a walk (blah...it is hot at 7 am here.  I thought about attempting a jog, but one of the girls, I won't mention names, was panting at about a minute in...so we didn't.  Dear mom, sorry I killed your dog on our jog...not good on the 3rd day home.  I had lunch with a few people I really dig at a eatery I really dig (minus the time there was a really horrible hostess and i refused to go).  Then had a good conversation with my pops about creole versus cajan food...then got to spend the whole afternoon with one of my best friends.  Despite the horrible heat, I LOVE BEING HOME!!!!!  Here is me and one of my besties on our way home from the winery.  We were too busy having fun at the winery and eating grapes (Dear so ill- I love your local grapes) to bother with pictures at the time. 

I am glad she was driving...I am such a lightweight now

Then I spent the night with my mama and the girls.  Which is so lovely.  I love home.

I pretty much hate small dogs...well, except for these two

30 Fun things in 30 Days: Day 8

Today was my second day at home.  I am so lucky that my fam came down to visit.

It is so nice to not be at work.  I got to have dinner with three good friends and a the new littlest man in my life.

I got to spend some time at the pool.

Hang out with one of my best friends at the pool.

And had dinner with 3 good friends and a little dude.

I had dinner with three of my favorite people at a restaurant that I used to spend way too much time at in college (thank you roommates who work at food places).  Then, when I got home (dog tired) I got to spend time with my teenage cousins from our of town.  It is so nice to be home...also, it is hot and moist as hell here.

30 Fun things in 30 Days: Day 6

Today was fun.  I did a few obligatory work things (which I enjoy), did my final first round of interviews for the naked herman (the name of my dissertation) and then went to wine tasting and indian with a few of my favorite people in Pocatello.  So fun.  Tomorrow I get on a plan home...and probably should not have had so much to drink. oops. 

Here is my friend eating a plant at the wine tasting

Here is the man-friend talking about something verbostly

Here we are at dinner...with another bottle of wine

30 Fun things in 30 Days: Day 5

It is hard to get anything done when you know you are going home in two days.  I realized today that I am going to miss work.  How cool is that!  I love my job.  I love my coworkers, and I love my boss.  They are good folk.  We are such a supportive team.  It is going to be hard to leave when I move in a year. 


We had a party during our staff meeting to celebrate a birthday.  My boss made food...and as always it was delicious.  

She makes Thai food that is so yummy.  Another thing we do is say what we like about the birthday girl then pop off a popper.  They freak me out.  It is like fireworks inside.  My coworkers say it is exposure therapy for me...They are flooding.

I also got a pedicure today so that my feet are purdy for home. The guy who did it basically used a cheese grader on my heels.  Sorry, gross.  I know...but they look better. 

I think Lynn will approve

Fun things today.  And....I am ready for home!
