Making plans

I don't know if it has been the crappy winter weather that we have been having (we live in upstate NY, where is the snow?), or the fact that these last few weeks have been insane at work, but I have been in a bit of a funk lately. Weekends are all the same - come home from work on Friday night and barely make it through dinner with my eyes open, spend all day Saturday and Sunday cleaning, doing laundry and running errands (because I get home too late to do anything during the week) - back to work on Monday, repeat.

But in the span of 24 hours, we have gone from this bleak existance, to actually having plans! With friends! Over more than one weekend!

Upcoming items on our social calendar:

* Palisades Center and Dave & Busters with friends this weekend
* Hubby's best friend and wife visiting in February
* The baptism of a close friend's little one in February (means a trip to NJ)

I am so excited.

Guilty Pleasures...

Tagged by Debby: what better way to get back into the swing of things?

The game: list or write an entry about five of your guilty pleasures. then choose five other bloggers to tag.

Okay, here goes.

1. Celebrity gossip - I just can't get enough. I read E! Online EVERY DAY while eating my lunch (love Ted Casablanca's "The Awful Truth"!), and have been known to buy In Touch, Life & Style, and Celebrity Living - all at one time. Plus I read the Star every week (thanks to my Nana!).

2. Drycleaning - with the exception of jeans, sweats, socks and undies, everything goes to the drycleaners. Yes, it costs a fortune (especially since I no longer have the luxury of my $2.99 dry cleaners), but everything always comes out looking so nice.

3. My electric blanket - With these cold NY nights, I don't know what I would do without it!

4. Shampoo and cosmetics - Bed Head and Merle Norman, respectively... that is how I pamper myself.

5. Chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream - Enough said.

Hmmm... to tag five people. I don't even know if five people read this, but here goes:

Her, him and her (three out of five - not so bad!)

Testing the waters...

It's about time for me to take the plunge and get back into blogging.

Be back tomorrow.
