Weekend

Ahhh, the weekend.  It was wonderful.  It started off with a date with dad.  I took him to see Jim Gaffigan as a father's day present.  Hot Pockets!  It was great.

Saturday morning my two dear friends picked me up and we went to the Survey Cafe.  This is my new favorite place.  They make THE BEST caramel macchiato that I have ever had.  This cafe uses all eco friendly cups and to-go packaging made from corn.  They feature organic shade grown coffee and espresso.  The cafe is in a historic house in historic Bonita Springs.  

This morning I stopped in on the way to work for a muffin and a macchiato (the caffeine hit me hard!  I am shaking from it!  But i'm also being very productive at work!)  I even ordered a veggie wrap for lunch that i'm going to dig in to in a few minutes here.  Yum!

yummers

On Saturday I went to a local resort to celebrate a friends birthday.  We had a great time sitting by the pool, going out to dinner, having a fashion show at one of the stores, and swimming at mid-night.  On sunday afternoon we experienced true Florida.  We were out by the sunny pool and we saw some dark clouds start to form.  10 minutes later it was as if a category 2 hurricane had hit.  The wind was howling and the rain was coming down in horizontal sheets.  We couldn't get inside fast enough!  Nor could we open the door.  So we sat inside and waited for the storm to calm down and then we headed home.  Oh blessed Florida weather.

One more quick story.  I stopped in to Marshals to grab a few things after work last night.  I ended up shopping for about 1/2 hour and then I think i spent another 1/2 hour in line.  Once I finally got up to the cashier I reached into my purse to find my wallet missing.  Gar.  It was thankfully at home, so no worries there.  Just a little frustrating.

But today is wonderful.  Yoga to wake me up, caramel macchiato and muffin from the cafe, and some Jesus time at work.  It's a good day.

Back to the Blogging world?

Well, i spend much time reading other people's blogs, but I don't really blog myself.  I guess now is as good a time as ever.  I'm just sitting at my desk surrounded by files.  I took a break for a snack.  It's 11:00am and I'm hungry already, but what else is new.  My lastest update on life is that my ballet recital is over.  Sad.  I had a blast though.  I always love the stress, adrenaline, and drama of performance day.  There's always something!  But it all went very well.  I have two weeks off ballet before summer classes.  I thought I would have a ton of free time but I am just as busy as ever.  I like being busy though.  I could cut some stuff out of my life but I like it all.  
I'm looking very forward to seeing Jim Gaffagans comedy show tomorrow night with my poppy.  I'm going to pick pops up from the airport and we are going to have a dinner date and go see the show.  It's an early fathers day present (hot pockets!)



this weekend I am spending at the beach...i live 8 miles from it and never go.  A sad state of affairs.
Next weekend is camping at the springs and a mewithoutyou concert.  HAPPY!

until next time...
