Work is crazy, as usual. I keep trying to figure out what I can do to make it slow down, and well, as soon as I think we have something worked out, well, a whole other party just starts. This is the week of close, so thats this week's crazyness. Next week will hold a whole other party schedule...
So because of all the crazyness, I decided to cancel everything I had planned, and just stay at home all weekend. It was probably the best decision I could have made. I had a "Karen" weekend.....which involved spending TONS of time at the gym, running errands and trying to get my life in order, and then getting to hang out with lots of my friends. It was just what I needed.....
On Saturday night we had a Girls Napa / Greece reunion and got to spend the evening together. It was so great to get to spend some time with LM and TH...
On Sunday I spent more time at the gym (surprise, surprise) and then got to see my friend JM and her sweet husband and even sweeter two little girls. They were in town seeing some family and we met for lunch. I was cracking up as we were trying to figure out where to go eat and they really wanted Lubys....how fantastic is that?!? They don't have Luby's where they live now and being prego, she wanted to eat it! And who can complain about Mac N Cheese? Not me!!! But it was so great to get to see them - and I can't wait because J will be having twins later this year! I am planning a trip to go play with them after her mom comes back to Texas after the babies are born. I CAN'T WAIT!
I then went to hang out with The K's as they had a BBQ at their house...it was SO fun to get to hang out with their family, catch up and see some of the KPMG peeps. And I got to spend some time in the hammock - which, when I finally buy a house, it will be a requirement to have two trees close enough to have a hammock. I HEART them....and the K's too! They are expecting a sweet baby in January -- and I can't wait for that either!
Today I spent the day running errands and then about 4 hours at Nordstroms...no, I am not kidding. It is the Nordstroms Anniversary sale time and since I am such a FABULOUS customer (he, he) I get to shop the pre-sale....it's a TON of fun, but seriously, it is hard because you have to go pick stuff out, then they have to pull it and you try it on...and well, it is just a long process. But I was SO excited because they had my favorite Jeans on sale.....and well, let's put it this way...they are 50% off, and I have now owned them in 3 sizes, and I needed them in another size. So, yeah, getting them at half price is a no brainer. Don't think I didn't contemplate buying them one more size down just in case :) And then I found a cute skirt...then a purse....then found the shoes...and we won't even talk about the number of shoes I got! ha!
And then we had LG's birthday dinner with the girls....I can't even tell you how great it was to end my weekend with them. I HEART these girls and love getting to spend time with them!
It was an absolutely fabulous weekend....and just what I needed. Now, off to bed!
