More free Red Sox!

So, Randy got us some free tix in a great section! I sure hope they win tonight, they've been on the usual July slide. Go Red Sox! Go Josh Beckett! Get those White Sox!
Off to the beach tomorrow with my sidekick Karen. Supposed to be about 76 with sun and some clouds. Should be nice enough, and we haven't had nearly enough beach time this year.
Just made plans to go to Nashville over Labor Day weekend with Karen and Kim. SO excited about a girly weekend away with my two best friends. Got tix for the Grand Ole Opry already (that's GOTTA be one of the places you should see before you die, right?) We're staying right downtown near where all the cool music bars are too. Can't wait to wear my stylin' cowboy boots I got in Austin last year, without socks and with a denim skirt. Can't rock that look in Boston, although it's ok with jeans around here.
Hm, what else. Oh, brought the Emmie kitty in for her annual exam and shots. She hates it there. We have an awesome vet though. She's a little on the plump side (11.7 lbs on a small frame) so we have to reduce the food intake even more. Got her a kitten, feed her better (and less) food, and she hasn't lost an ounce. I'm never gonna get any sleep with these hungry kitties. Plus she has, shall we say, loose output issues, so I gotta go back on the hunt for an alternative protein source (ie, not chicken) and try it for 3 months. And you all know how paranoid I am about the stupid pet food stuff. Oh well. She looks like she's gonna have babies, and she was spayed ages ago.
That's it for now. Gotta put on my red sox shirt now.

NYC Trip

Weekend in New York...my early birthday present from Randy (REALLY early, but what's time got to do with it when it's this great?!) We haven't been there together since the night Saddam Hussein was captured, so we were WELL overdue. I'm a huge Allman Brothers fan...love the music, love what it represents to me - great fun in the summertime and great times with my friends in bands past. The Holy Grail of Allman Brothers concerts is their annual run at the Beacon Theater in New York City. This year marks the 40th anniversary of this band. Yeah you might think Gregg Allman Marries Cher from the 70's and all that stuff, but these guys play freestyle, always mixing up the tunes and bringing in guests and just awesome on the stage. Anyway, Randy scored tickets (at face value no less), got us tickets for the Acela train, and a free stay at the Waldorf Astoria thanks to all his Hilton points. Pictures anyone? Local bar for dinner and beers before the show. I love the little...

Telecommuting, and vacation plans

Telecommuting is awesome. The biggest upside to our company being bought 2 1/2 yrs ago is the ability to work from home. I don't abuse it and always get a lot more work done (no interruptions) and it's great for big projects. So, with yesterday's 9 incher, that's what I did. Randy works in downtown Boston and they said, hey, if you're not essential, don't come in. He didn't have brain surgery scheduled and neither did I (he's a regional VP and I'm a sales analyst), so we stayed home and did what we needed to get done. I always feel a little guilty or "weather-wimpy" in storms, but then I think, most employees at my corporation are women, most of them are moms, and most of them stayed home because it was a snow day. Why should I make myself a road hazard, driving like I'm 80, stressing out for over an hour both ways (usually 35 minutes) after spending forever digging the car out from my street space because of the plows, and bein...

Yucky sloppy slop

I live near the coast, so instead of the 8"-to-10" of snow my neighbors to the west have the pleasure of cleaning up this fine evening, I had the unusual experience of shoveling and salting the sidewalks around the house, part of the driveway, and the stairs... IN THE DRIVING RAIN . It soaked my coat and hat all the way through. My boots are nice and drenched for tomorrow morning's commute. I can't recall a time when I have ever shoveled in the rain. It felt like 6" of snow, but was packed down to about 3" of yucky-dirty-heavy-brown-sloppy slop-slop waterlogged snow. Add to that the great joy of discovering that one of my neighbors hadn't scooped up after the dog. Nothing like throwing a nice heavy load with a nice load in it. Even though it's pouring down rain outside, it's about to deep freeze, so instead of spending 4 hours out there chopping at the ice like I did on Christmas Eve, I decided I'd rather sleep tomorrow morning. I hate this...
