What do you get for being in a crappy mood @ work?

Today was a bad day...there was some bad news I got, a couple of my good friends are going thru hard times, my dad is still stressin me to no end...work has been challenging, and there is more that I will not bore ya'll with....
Anyway...I don't try to make it known that I'm not in a good mood...I'm a pretty private person.
So, towards the end of the day people kept asking what was was wrong...I said it was personal and left it at that.
Well, some sweet person was thoughtful enough to go out and get me flowers. HOW GREAT IS THAT??
I still don't know who it was...I work with a lot of people and I wasn't gonna go person to person and ask...I will find out though...
They smell wonderful and they are so pretty.
Unfortunately, it didn't do much for the mood...oh well, tomorrow is another day ;)

Un nuevo resturant mexicano bueno en Bowie

Today I went to Bowie to have Danny help me with some issue I have been having with my computer...Thanks Danny!! I do appreciate ALL the time you spent helping me out!!

Well, my mother was already in Bowie so Kathy, Danny, my Mama, and I went to a new Mexican restaurant in town. It was pretty good. I liked the salsa so that's always a good sign. Anyway...I got fajitas and as you probably know they come with lots of plates.....

We all laughed as there was NO room left on our table with their plates and ALL of mine....they said they wished they had a camera to take a pic....I had mine so here are a couple of pics.
YUMMY

Kathy and Danny finally made the big time

contrary to popular belief this is how I spend my evenings

Today was a pretty good hump day. My good friend Elizabeth came into the office to deliver a check to us and hung around a bit. Then around 4 30 she came into my office (its more like an entire suite I am in by myself, thank you very much) and we started talking Mtg/title stuff then around 5 when i decided I was off the clock (eve tho I'm salaried) she and I just sat and had a great conversation. We caught up, and laughed, and shared some stories. The only thing missing was the beer. :(

Anyway we both left my office around 6. I was driving home and I was wondering if there was anything I needed to do. Then I remembered a loan officer got me a gift cert to get my nails and toes did. So, that is what I decided to do. It takes forever...I had a pedicure, my nails done, and my eyebrows waxed.

Then on my way home I drive right by my dads neighborhood so I thought I should stop in to check on him and to see if I could help him with anything. Kinda a frustrating visit. My dad is so stubborn and doesn't listen about what he needs to do. I think I made progress though....let us hope!!

Anywho.....I thought ya'll might want to see the outcome of the pampering I had tonight. Put your right foot in....and ya shake it all about ;)
Pretty in (bright) pink
Hand with a BEAUTIFUL ring that my Aunt Angie gave me that was my grandmothers. LOVE IT!!
The other hand
Look at these awesome eyebrows...I mean really, Gorgeous!!

What a differance a couple of days makes

Just a quick post of Connor. I went over to Reed and Marys on Fri after work and had dinner, hung out, and played with Connor.
Then on Sunday I spent the afternoon out with Mary shopping for back to school clothes. After that I hung out there for a bit and again, played with Connor.

DAY....Fri

& NIGHT..Sun

Our day in B-more for my Mama's b day

So, today we took my mother to Baltimore. We had strict plans to stick to. We were to meet at Kathy's at 8 30 sharp. Now IF we wanted to have a cup of coffee or to chat you were to arrive early because we were gonna head at right at 8 30.
So, we left a few minutes late but it was ok....then we went to Second Chance. Its this group of 4 or 5 huge warehouses full of "stuff". There are tons of old tubs, old windows, old doors, old everything. Then there is a newer warehouse that has what I guess are leftovers. Like there are brand new cabinetry, new refrigerators...there was also a ton of furniture from some hotel that I cant remember the name of. Anyway...it was fun...it was a GORGEOUS so we got lucky there.
Then around 11 or so we headed to Little Italy for lunch at Sabatino's. We were there a few mins before they opened so we walked around and went to the Bakery that were gonna get moms birthday treat from. So, we ate lunch..it was good..and we had a good time. Then we headed back to the bakery to pick up the sweets. Its a lil place that is owned/operated by an old Italian couple. From what I gather the man says he invented tiramisu....sooo, that's what mom chose to have for her "cake"...I got a cannolli, Jeff and Sean picked out some cookies, and both my mom and Kathy got some yummy biscotti...I'm not usually a fan, but they were delish!
Then we headed out of Baltimore to go back to Kathy's to have "cake" and open presents.
We had a good time...LOTS of laughs; sorry Jeff...haha.
Mom had fun I hope...I know I did!
There are LOTS of pics sooooo here ya go: Mom with a card
Cool angle....Mike your photography has nothin on mine...(KIDDING!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA

I want to give a huge shout out to my Mama who is celebrating another birthday today. I wont tell your age mom, don't worry ;)
Hey...I found a pic of my mom that I don't think she will mind me posting. If you know my mom you know what I'm talkin about!!


Well, happy birthday Mama and lots of love to ya on your birthday ;)

OH DEER!!

I went to check in on my dad tonight. I was driving down the "country" gravel road that leads to his house and at the bend there were 3 little deer. I do believe they are the same 3 I saw about a week ago. They were right at the road and didn't seem too concerned that I was driving right near them. As I crept up they did start walking away tho...luckily I keep my camera in my computer bag so I was able to take these crappy pic....Oh well; you get the point.
I am posting these pics for 2 main reasons.
The 1st being "someone" ALWAYS says "watch for deer...when there is one there are three"...and there WERE 3!!!!
The second reason is because a different "someone" keeps saying I live in the country...I guess this kinda proves his point, ah??
