So, a couple summers ago a friend of mine suggested these books to me and I had every intention of reading them but somehow never managed to do it. This was solved Monday night however when hubby came home with the first book "Percy Jackson & the Olympians - The Lightning Thief" and gave it to me. The 1st 4 books are on sale there - prolly in anticipation of the movie opening next weekend.

Lazy day
So today i was supposed to go to Wyandotte and meet up with old friends but last night my shoulders were super sore from crocheting all day (piano scarf #2 done - piano scarf #3 started) so I took a muscle relaxer my mom had given us when we were over at Xmas. Bad idea.
As expected, half an hour after I took it i became uber sleepy. I don't do pills well. Hell, even ibuprofen makes me want to take a nap! So i went to bed around 3AM (after also cranking up our "new" heated mattress pad to max). Next thing I know, it's frigging 3:30PM!!! I didn't even hear hubby's alarm go off!! And hubby gets busy at work around 4PM so he had no time to take me downriver :( very very sad.

seriously WTF?!?!
first of all welcome to blog334 (blog365 minus january lol)
So today I was watching Oprah. Normally I don't cuz she annoys the fuck out of me, but today was about "Undercover Boss" - the new show coming on CBS after the Superbowl next week and I really wanna see it so I did the Oprah thing.
They showcased 2 of the big dogs who worked for a week in their own companies - the C.O.O. from Waste management and the President (or something) for 7-11. Good choices and doubly so for me since i used to work for 7-11 and of course Waste management does our garbage.

Quick update
So starting Feb 1st I plan on blogging everyday for the year 2010. Should be fun. I'm also contemplating a blog for "magikjaz creations" - but we'll see how that goes.
Been doing alot of reading of my old journals we rescued from my mom's house. there's lots in there I don't remember and lots I do. I was such a silly girl. I'll have to get brave and share some things someday. (I say that alot i know) Today was fun tho cuz i read something I had completely forgotten and it shocked the hell out of not only me but a really good friend when i told her (i had to tell someone!!!) good times lol
Finishing up my piano scarf for the artfire order then working on 2 more. Tonight I'm also working on bottlecaps so I can get the resin poured by Sunday night hopefully and have new stuff for this weekend at the Rouge.
Connected with a couple more old friends on Facebook - including a guy i was madly crazy about way back when (but then i was crazy about them all lol) and I've been doing my best to reach out and connect with more people this year. After all we aren't in high school anymore. Old insecurities shouldn't come into play (but they sometimes do). I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Okay - time to go throw in some laundry and take a nap. I'll catch you later.

taking a trip in the way back machine
The past few days I've been reading some old journals from my past. 1986 - 199 roughly. And a couple of 1991 entries. It's enlightening, embarrassing and ...well mostly embarrassing lol. I was such a child and I had no real social skills to speak of.

Jersey Boys
So we went with my mom and saw Jersey Boys tonight and it was fantastic. Excellent music. Interesting story. Phenomenal singing.
Beforehand we went to a new restaurant (for us) O Sushi in Dearborn on Michigan Ave.We had our usual - some red snapper, salmon and white tuna nigiri, spicy tuna maki and unagi maki. We also had 2 of their special rolls - Chicago roll which was spicy tuna and salmon with scallion and the Devil Kiss roll which was shrimp tempura with tuna, salmon, cucumber and spicy sauce. Oh! and Miso soup. All the rolls were fantastic and the soup was delicious. And while we were there they gave us a free mussel appetizer that was frigging AWESOME! I would definitely order it next time. And there will be a next time cuz we got a voucher for a free roll for the next time we dine in. yay!

I don't know if I'm sick or depressed ....
But I spent 17 hours sleeping last night/today. I fell asleep on the couch for about an hour at around 2AM. Woke up and putzed around before heading upstairs to bed and fell asleep around 3:30AM. Woke up briefly during the day for 15 minute increments but never left the bed until just after 8PM!!!! I know yesterday I was feeling crappy (it's that time of the month - plus i had a sore throat and my allergies were kicking in high gear) but I also know that when i'm depressed - and the whole saying goodbye to our childhood house HAS left me kinda depressed - I don't want to do much of anything but sleep. Combine that with all the money stress we're feeling lately and I just don't know.
But tomorrow night is Jersey Boys w/ my mom!!!! Dinner and a show - it doesn't get much better than that!! AND we know someone who is doing makeup so we might get a backstage tour tomorrow after the show!!! SO EXCITED!!!!! Merry Xmas to us!!!
