Those that make things happen
Those that watch things happen
Those that constantly ask "what just happened"
Which one are you?

Update
No, I didn't take an extended leave on vacation...I am back home! :-)
I haven't updated because it's been a busy two weeks, but I'm happy that it's busy. I really enjoy this time of year, there are always so many things to attend & celebrate. There's always a graduation or wedding to go to. My mom's, & brother's birthdays are in May, plus Mother's Day and throw in a baby shower or bridal shower and I'm good to go. I've got pretty much all of that on my calendar.
First...vacation. It was so nice to be in Florida. Early in the week it was "cold", you know, high temps ONLY in the 70's. Ha! The Floridians had their jackets on while Scott and I were celebrating how warm it was. As the week went on it progressively got hotter. We went to the Tampa Zoo, Florida Aquarium and ate SOOOO much great seafood all week. I really didn't care what we did because 1) I was on vacation and away from work and 2) I was spending 8 whole days with my husband. We went to the beach, and I proceeded to get really burnt like usual. (I was reminded why vampires don't usually go out in the sun) The restaurants we went to were perfect. I had lots of tuna, salmon, and shrimp. I even tried gator and oysters! (both were good and the gator actually tasted like chicken) We had dinner outside most nights, either at a restaurant or on the balcony at the condo. I even let my husband win at mini-golf. (though he would say differently...) We played tons of games of Uno. [I know...I know...we are lame but it's a fun game!!] Overall it was a great time and a much needed week away from all the stress we both have at work.
Since we got back we've been going non stop. I worked on the noon show for 3 days when we got back (which was a great change...I love being awake during the day) and then sweeps started. This past weekend my mom & sister came to town and we went to a bridal shower for a friend of ours. She is getting married at the Four Seasons (where our reception was) in June and we are so excited for her!! The shower was great, it was at Bravo! and the food was spectacular. After that we went shopping at Kohl's and my mom and I helped my sister spend her money. She got some really cute summer clothes. We also went to the mall where Steph bought some more stuff and even found a birthday present for Mom! Between what Stephanie and I bought for mom she got a ton of new clothes for her birthday. Mom, Scott and I went to Chilli's for dinner and had a great time. We then went back to the apartment to play Uno again...which is fun when you have been drinking.
This coming weekend is busy as well. I'm planning on going to my friend Angie's baby shower on Saturday...I can't wait for her to see what I got her...I think she'll really like it. Then we are picking up Scott's grandparents at the airport and they are staying with us on Saturday night. Sunday we are all going to Dayton to celebrate with my brother-in-law who is graduating with honors from the University of Dayton!!
The next few weeks will be trying...we are launching our downtown studio at the end of May so I have plenty of rehearsals to attend. That means a lack of sleep each week as the only time they can do the rehearsals is around 10 am. Too bad I go to bed at 9. They won't ever understand just how much that screws me up...nor do I think they care.
Oh well...such is the life.

Cute Dogs
So on Saturday I took my brother-in-laws dog (Summit) to meet my parents dog (Brody) and then my grandparents dog (Chloe) was there too! It was a crazy day but they are all so cute so I of course had to pull out the camera. (God help me when I have kids...I'll have a camera permanently attached to my hand)

Feeling a little better
I think I've gotten down to the last bit of my cold. I tell you what...I don't get sick often but when I do it's usually pretty bad! At least I got it out of the way before we leave for vacation.
Speaking of vacation---We leave on Friday!!!!!!!! (can you tell I'm excited) 9 days in Florida. No work...no stupid meetings to go to in the middle of the day...and the only stress we'll have is what kind of seafood to have for dinner :-) I know we went on a vacation 6 months ago, but I have barely had any days off since then, and the days I have been working it's been pretty stressful.
The rest of April and May should be pretty fun. I am working on the noon show for 3 days while a co-worker is on vacation. That is a lot of fun to do only because I get a few more days off the vampire shift. Now if I could only find a permanent way to get off of that shift....
That's all I really have for today. It's Monday so I'm a little slow on the uptake.
