| Lots has been doing on. I can't seem to get enough sleep though. I'm tired and grumpy and don't wanna write. But wanted you all to know I'm still here and reading your posts.

| I only slept for maybe 3 hours last night. Stupid me trying to not take anything I don't absolutely HAVE to have. Will have to rethink that decision.
I did a little too much at work today. Now I'm hurting.
Perfect solution to both of these issues? Take some pain meds & take a nap.
Will try to write more later. | | |
| Free foodOn Monday last week (Memorial day) we went to a little restaurant/bar near us with two of Jason's friends. Apparently it was much busier than they were expecting and had a cook and a waitress call off. It took quite a while to get our food and when they did bring it out, Jason's food was wrong. The waitress literally put the plates in front of us and RAN away. A while later we were all out of drinks. Finally a guy came and asked us if we wanted refills. He got all our drinks and probably FIFTEEN minutes later he finally brought the drinks back for us. At that point we were all done with our food and he noticed that Jason hadn't touched his food. He asked if something was wrong and Jason told him that it was suppose to be no tomatoes. They guy was like, "Oh, I'm sorry you should have said something sooner." I bit my tongue because I wanted to say, "Well, if the waitress would have stuck around for 5 seconds after putting the plates in front of us or if someone would have come back within the last 20 minutes to see how we were doing we could have told you. We can't really tell anyone if NO ONE is anywhere to be seen." AUGH! But I was nice and didn't say anything. Then when it was time to pay, she charged Wes' card $30 something instead of the $8 or so that his meal actually was (she charged his card for our meal). So instead of waiting for someone to come back he went to find her to have it fixed. It was a nightmare. There was another table near us earlier that just walked off because they were tired of waiting. I was surprised that they didn't at least try to comp SOMEthing for the craziness. I mean, maybe our drinks or appetizer?
So fast forward to 6 days later (Sunday). Jason and I went to this same restaurant for breakfast. At the end of the meal the guy who took over waiting on us in the middle of the Memorial Day meal said,
"Were you guys here Monday?"
"Yeah."
"Did you have a wrap that was messed up?"
"Yeah."
He then proceeded to tell us that he wanted to take care of our breakfast for us because that day was so crazy and we were "awesome". So, we got a free breakfast for not throwing a fit and being mean when we got bad service! Woohoo! Too bad Steve and Wes didn't get to benefit from the bad service! :) I'm guessing they probably had a lot of mean people that day and maybe we stood out because we were so cool about things.
So today we had a drug rep bring us dinner and I totally pigged out. I was set on eating my healthy lunch I had brought but sitting for 20 minutes smelling fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits got to me. So by the time it was our lunch break my will had been broken. I told Jason that we should eat bad for supper since I'd already ruined the day. He ended up going to the store and buying healthy stuff but later suggested we go out. Woohoo!
On our way into the restaurant I reminded him that yesterday was 10 years of us "dating." So he decided we were going to celebrate. We got an appetizer (even though I told him I wanted to skip an appetizer and get dessert instead) and a bottle of wine. After our salad and appetizer we were just sitting there drinking our wine and talking. The manager came up and said, "I hear you guys have been waiting a while for your food?" We didn't say anything because we really hadn't noticed. Well, I guess Jason had noticed but he didn't say anything because it really wasn't a big deal to him. He proceeds to tell us that the storm had caused some trouble in the kitchen and they were really backed up. He then told us that everything would be free. Um yeah...everything...even the bottle of wine! How cool is that? We almost felt guilty. We ended up asking for a dessert and requesting that we pay for it (actually we just needed a way to put SOMETHING on our card so we could leave a tip). So we paid $5 for our dessert and left a $15 tip.
So, that's how we ended up with two free meals in three days! Now, back to eating at home and eating healthy. I think I'll go find that dessert now!

| I got a lot of random stuff done today. Go me!
First, I slept til noon. Woohoo! Jason had been up a while and was starving. We had lunch and then went to see a UP in 3D. It was cute. Next we stopped at Lowe's to get some cheap little pots for these plants I have. A co-worker had a spider plant that was really cute so she made little baby spider plants for me. I have 4 of them. 2 have grown quite a bit and the other 2 aren't doing so well. We bought three pots that were nice enough looking and only $3. Jason said they won't be in the little pots for that long so I wasn't picky about what we got. They look decent though. So now I have my plants repotted so they can grow. They were outgrowing their styrofoam cups. I just hope they adjust to their new home and continue to grow. I'm terrible at growing things so we will see.
When we got home I decided to clean my car. My mom is coming tomorrow so I can take her shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding. I will be driving so I figured my car needed to be clean. She always makes comments about how messy my car is. In all honesty, it IS terrible. My backseat is covered in crap. The passenger seat and floor usually is as well. I can never have anyone in my car or drive when Jason and I go somewhere because there is no room. And if someone absolutely HAS to ride with me then everything from the front gets thrown into the black hole in the backseat which I hate. The things in the front seat are usually important - that's why they are right next to me! :) If they go in the back I will never see them again. And then the back gets even worse! So, I cleaned all the junk out of the car, vacuumed, dusted, and cleaned out the cup holders and cubby holes that were all sticky from coffee and pop getting in them. I tried to use the Bissell Green Machine to clean stains on my front two seats but it ended up looking worse when it dried. I don't know what to do now! Guess I will just have to start piling stuff on the passenger side again to hide it. I didn't even attempt to clean out the trunk. I didn't have to energy to do that. Doing the rest of the car was enough for the day. I can't remember the last time I cleaned my car. I know I blogged about it because I mentioned that I filled up an entire trash bin with stuff. I wonder how long ago that was? So, my car is nice and pretty inside. Wonder how long it will last?
After I cleaned my car I decided to hit some of the stains on the carpet in the house since I had the carpet cleaner out. I did some spots in the living room, office and bedroom. Then I cleaned the machine and the attachments.
We started watching a movie we had rented and halfway through Jason decided he was hungry. He wanted to get hot dogs and cook something simple but I was really craving Mexican. He didn't want it so I figured we were driving to the store for hot dogs. But, he ended up at a Mexican restaurant just a couple miles from the house! Yea! Halfway through the meal the tornado sirens were going off and some weather site that Jason looked at said there were 2 tornados headed our way. It was bad enough that Jason decided we should leave and go home. I didn't get to finish my meal and didn't want to wait for a to go container. We got home and watched from the porch for a while and then went it to watch the movie. A little while later we went back outside to watch and listen to the Nine Inch Nails concert going on a few miles away.
We finally got the movie finished and the I folded laundry while watching Jay Leno's last show (we recorded it last night - thank you Jason).
I just showered and I'm waiting for my hair to dry. Jason has fallen asleep without getting ready for bed. At least he fell asleep in the bed this time. He has fallen asleep downstairs three times this week. I can never get him to wake up so he usually sleeps down there for quite a while.
Time to read Glamour and try to fall asleep.

| I am happy it's the weekend. I really need some sleep! I came home and took another nap today. I dreamt a bunch again. Jason woke me up twice. I got up the second time and we went to eat.I was stuffed and miserable after. We stopped at Blockbuster and picked up two movies. Right now we are watching Burn After Reading. I think it's kinda boring. I would rather go to bed!!! Ge'ez, seems like sleeping is all I can think of!!
No plans for tomorrow except cleaning my car. Mom is coming Sunday to go shopping. I'm gonna be her driver. | | |
