End of May Update

Greetings again:

I'm winding down for the night and actually feel pretty tired.  I'm hoping to be nestled in my bed quite soon.   It wasn't a full day of work for me but I did clean the hallways and complete my manager duties for the apartment building.  It's amazing how cleaning can be a workout and work up a sweat.  I'm just glad to have all that done before I leave for Waukon.

That being said...I'm very excited to go home for the extended weekend.  It's going to be busier than I like but it will be fun celebrating, seeing family, and having fun.   I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a trip to the boat for some blackjack.   Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.   It sounds like my Mom is fairly organized for my sister's graduation party so I'm hoping Friday night and Saturday are pretty straightfoward. 

I was given the opportunity to read the first too books in the "Fifty Shades" series.   I was skeptical at first since the book was getting so much press and attention.   I had heard the book was sexual and somewhat graphic but still figured it was like those romance novels that you seen with the Fabio and some tormented woman on the cover.  Holy cow was I wrong.   The author of the book was quite ballsy when writing the series and I was often surprised by what I was reading.   Well done lady.  I read the first two books in the series in less than a week.  It says a lot when you can sit and read 10 chapters in one sitting.  I can definitely understand why conservative groups are upset about the book though. 

I'm also happy to say that I finally used my gift certificate my Dad gave me to have my car detailed and waxed.   The Fusion looks very purdy.   I'm hoping I can keep the inside and outside looking spiffy for awhile.  They also did a good job of getting rid of the cigerette smoke smell.  I'm sure it may return but I appreciate the temporary fix.   It still irritates me that the dealership did such a good job of hiding the fact that a previous driver smoked.   Bleh. 

Tomorrow is Gavin's last day of sixth grader.   I'm sure more of the teenage agnst will be appearing this summer.  He's still excited about our move.  We'll have a lot going on in the next thirty days in regards to packing and having actual movers arrive.   I'm very excited to not pay rent much longer.   Woohoo!

I guess that's it for now!

I'm attempting to get caught up with commenting and blogging today. I didn't realize you blogged before the weekend. I thought Mom was well-prepared for the party besides being short buns and kool-aid, but she was somewhat too serious at times. She was too anxious; she should've enjoyed it more. Anywho, I need to use my detail certificate too. I'm excited for Bernard to be a clean gentleman again. I also have been anxious to put my seat covers on, but I've been waiting until after the detail. Yes, the book series is addicting and pretty well-written. I'm glad you enjoyed them, but you did too fast as I couldn't give you the third book yet. Pace yourself! LoL. Yay for Gavin being done with 6th grade, but I can see it being sad too. How were his grades?
