Well ladies and gentlemen (do I have any male readers? If so, you need to comment more, cause I am not so sure….) the weekend is practically here (3 hours and counting for me) and you all know what that means! Besides getting to sleep in, wearing pajama pants all day, and not getting off the couch unless I feel the need, it is also my birthday weekend. Yeah that’s right. I am claiming the WHOLE weekend.

I think Simeon and I are going out to dinner tonight and possibly a movie if I can convince him to tear himself way from his computer for that long. (He has been really busy with work lately and my job has been to distract him from it as much as possible. We are trying to make a baby, remember?) I want to see Must Love Dogs. I am a total sucker for a romantic comedy and let’s face it, John Cusack is just adorable.

Then tomorrow we can enjoy a relaxing morning (I do not plan to be out of bed until at least 9am, thankyouverymuch) and get ready for a retirement party for one of my old co-workers in the evening. It should be a pretty good party with lots of family and friends to celebrate. Oh and you cannot forget about the food. We totally know how to do the food up right!

Sunday is my actual birthday and we are meeting my boss at the Reserve (his golf course’s country club) for lunch. Then I plan to wind down and completely enjoy a day that is ALL ABOUT ME.

I have already started getting showered with gift, which I can’t say I mind at all (that would be the Leo in me!). My lovely husband gave me my new floors. A few weeks back my mom bought me a silver necklace and a couple pairs of coordinating earrings (she was worried she would miss me on the actual day and wanted to make sure I got my gift, how cute is she?). Oh and I have even indulged myself in a little online gift buying at LL Bean, cause anyone who knows me knows I cannot pass up sweaters!

Well, I plan to fill you all in on what actually happens later. And you never know, there may even be pictures! Until then, have a great weekend everyone! Think of me!

I have a confession to make.

I am addicted to
The Surreal Life on VH1. At first I was quietly sneaking peaks late at night when I was trying to fall asleep and there was nothing else on. But then last week we got a second TiVo box (I totally needed one in my bedroom. Once you go TiVo, you never go back.) for upstairs. So then I was able to have it record shows when the main TiVo was recording (digitally recording TWO shows at once has got to be the highlight of this decade). I was finally able to succum to the evil that is washed-up celebrities living together. So I did it. I ordered a Season Pass of The Surreal Life. And I don’t regret it.

Last night I came home from work with a killer headache, slammed my dinner and spent the rest of the night in my dark bedroom, cuddling with Frodo. Oh yeah and watching six episodes of The Surreal Life in a row (you can watch way more when you can fast-forward through the commercials–it’s fabulous).

All I can say is that I think that Christopher Knight (Peter, from the Brady Bunch) and Adrienne Curry (the first winner of America’s Next Top Model) totally need to HOOK UP ALREADY. Oh and Vern Troyer (Mini Me) has the biggest chip on his shoulder and deals with it by being a complete ass. Yes, you are tiny, get over it already.

So there, I said it. I love The Surreal Life. I mean, what else was I suppose to do since they cancelled Newlyweds?
