We're leaving for St. Augustine, Florida in a few hours! A nice, relaxing weekend of nothing but sitting in the sun, swimming and reading. Sigh. It will be fabulous! Steve got our hotel free, with his frequent traveler points -- so we're staying in a super-swank hotel right on the beach -- I can't wait! Everybody needs a vacation where they just do nothing, don't they? No touristy, busy, full-schedule trip -- just a few days at the beach where you don't have to get up at a certain time or be anywhere to meet anyone. Just you, a good book, and the beach. Ahhhhhhhhh
I'm growing tired of this layout .... and maybe before the end of summer I'll have decided what to do for a new one. I like this one just because it's simple and different from all my other layouts .... but I've had it a LONG time. It's well past time for a makeover. I have a few ideas -- and none of them involve half-naked men or women -- I don't want to have to cover my own site with my hand when I'm looking at it at work :)
We spent Memorial Day weekend painting the office at home & then building a big desk for it. We framed out the desk, painted it and then installed two ready-made countertops from Home Depot on top. It looks pretty cool. The desk is an L-shape desk around two entire walls in the office. It gives us plenty of desktop space and room for all of the computers, scanners, printers, etc. It will be great to not have everything crammed onto a teeny weeny little 3 foot wide desk!
THIS-OR-THAT TUESDAY
1. Do you prefer silence or do you like background sound (music, TV, etc)? (If I'm reading, I like silence though ... but for working, I like music or TV)
2. Bathe/shower in morning or evening?
3. Sleeping in complete darkness, or with a nightlight on?
4. Lay out clothes the night before, or just grab what's closest in the morning?
5. Hang up/fold clothes neatly, or just toss them wherever?
6. Work out at a gym, or at home on your own (or do you not bother with exercise)?
7. Talk on the phone, or via IM/e-mail?
8. Are you usually on time, or late?
9. Spendthrift or frugal? Tough question .... I think I'm both. That IS possible, you can be careful with your money and not be a tightwad!
10. Thought-Provoking Question of the Week: You work with someone who is not in the habit of bathing regularly. The smell seems to be getting worse and worse! Would you: 1. try to do something about it, or 2. try to grin and bear it? If you said 1, what would you do? Maybe for their birthday, get them one of those baskets from Bath & Body Works, be sure to have the body wash and shampoo and a bar of soap! I don't think I could ever outright tell them they stank and needed to take a bath! That's the bosses job :)
Have fun in Florida, Lacy!
