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

[A10CalGal]

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.

[jajajaja]

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?

[jajajaja]

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.

Excellent! I like your style Maura. I did not take a 2 hour lunch, only because I plan to leave here around 4:00 to go to my yoga class...so short lunch = no guilt for Christa!

Legal day! Holy crap! That is a great reason to slack at work

Ugh, you are my hero. I am definitely taking more days next year. And thanks...I'm excited by the rug. The paint color looks a little weird in the pic...but I am confident the rug is going to marry nicely. I still don't have pictures on the walls...I reminded myself that I do not have any business trying to hang things on my own (you have to find a stud? use a level? what?) I will def post pics as it comes along.

So whatcha doing?? Are you having a icey beverage? with alcohol in it??

[starchild]

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!!
