How much does work suck after a 3 day weekend??!!

Jeez! Can I just say - I loved my 3 day weekend! It's the first time in months that I have not done anything work related for one entire day, much less 3. I left my laptop in the trunk of my car until yesterday afternoon.

Today is filled with people feeling a lot like me, and people that aren't here because they were smart & made a 3 day weekend into a 5 dayer. So pretty much I am relaxed and completely disenchanted with the prospect of work right now.

So, wanna see what I'm thinking about instead? I purchased this rug on overstock.com yesterday:

I'm going to put it in our living room to add a layer of texture.

Rug goes under the coffee table/couch. I purchased some beautiful large tropical plants for the house yesterday, so that will add some interest as well.

So now I am searching for lighting. I'm thinking of a chandelier or pendant to replace the lame ceiling light over the coffee table. I've found some fun stuff at lampusa.com

Anyway...am I the only one being so rebellious today??

Tee hee... I know EXACTLY what you mean.

It's been QUIET here today... and that was fine by me.

Gosh- I wish I could be lazy. Over the weekend, I ended up getting assigned to fill in for another chick while doing my own job until we find a replacement. Woohoo- I love coming in on a Monday to that news!

As for the LR- cute rug. I like the wall colors and the mantel. It will look fabulous!

That is bunk Rachel! Do they pay you her salary on top of yours? That would make sense, right?

haha I would love it if they did but sadly no. I'm just "filling in" until they get someone hired.

christa i love your new rug! i cant wait to see how it looks with everything in your living room.

you are def not the only person jonesing for the weekend again... i took a 2 hour lunch today and answered personal emails most of the morning, and have been doing wedding related stuff and surfing BDW this afternoon since i got back from my 2 hour lunch. thank god i have friday off to prep for my legal day on saturday but i feel like i have so much going on at home in the evenings to get ready for my inlaws to arrive on friday at noon, that i am seriously wishing it was going to be another quiet weekend. instead i have to go get married LOL so no relaxing for me.

I'm on a 4 dayer so I'll let you know tomorrow lol...but I assure you it will suck!

Love the rug! Your house totally looks like a home now, last I saw it the place was empty. Very nice!!

I'm actually getting ready (between typing) to go to see Stevie Wonder at the Hollywood Bowl - woohoo! I'm just drinking iced tea right now, saving the alcohol for later so I don't poop out early

Oh cool!! I saw your thread title about that...clearly I thought that was sufficient information. Thought wrong! Have fun!!
