I'm so bad at blogging. I used to do this all the time, but now it's something that I rarely think about. So here's the deal. I'm gonna try blogging again, but you need to read it. And comment. Comments are key.
It's been quite a weekend. Turned out to be a long one, too. I took a personal day on Friday for a job interview (read more about that here), and had the rest of that day free, which is a rare and glorious occurence. Saturday was spent at my parents' house playing with the dogs (Tasha, of course, and Doug's dog Mabel) while I was trying to upload Quicken. That wound up taking much longer than I expected, because my computer decided to be a bitch and freeze every three minutes. Finally got things working and all was well with the world. I fully intended to go home, relax and go to bed EARLY, since I had to be up early today for Confirmation. And then Joe texted. He wound up coming over to the apartment around 10:30, knowing that I wanted to be in bed no later than 11:30. We wound up going for a 6-pack at 11:20 (Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, yum!), so needless to say, I did NOT make it to bed at a reasonable hour. Four beers and one shot later, it was 3 AM and the salsa music was cranked up on the laptop. Sadly, Sam went to bed before the dancing started. I'm sure she regrets missing out on the fun, lol.
Thankfully, I was not hungover when my alarm went off at 8 AM. Confirmation was held during the 10:30 Spanish Mass, and it was actually really nice. I've never been to the Spanish Mass before, but I definitely want to go back. The music was awesome! This was my first time being a sponsor for Confirmation... no wait. That's actually not true. My godsons were both confirmed at their baptism, so I guess I was technically a sponsor for them, too. Okay, so this was my first time being a sponsor for a Roman Catholic Confirmation. Pretty cool. The girl I sponsored is a former student. Hard to believe she's in 6th grade already! After the Mass, I was invited to lunch at the convent with the other teachers, the pastor and the bishop. By the time I got home, it was close to 3 PM, and I was exhausted! The rest of the day was spent watching movies... "Princess Bride," "Dirty Dancing," and now "Shrek."
And the best part? Tomorrow is a "professional development" day, which means no work! Gotta love it :)
Okay, I think that's enough weekend update for now. Later, gators!
