Not Me Wednesday!

My wonderful father-in-law gently reminded me last night that I haven't blogged in awhile...and you know what? He's right! I thought I'd do a mid-week Not Me post until I find the energy to write a post about something a little more thoughtful. I'll start with today and work my way back a couple weeks - or as much as I can remember.

Today at work, our new company president of 2 weeks did not tell our Account Management team that instead of having the option of moving from Chanhassen to either Edina or NYA, we all would be relocating to Edina. Not sure how I feel about that - not that I mind the driving, just was hoping to avoid the city rush-hour traffic. Hopefully gas prices go down because our wages aren't going up!

Last weekend we had a family get-together for my mom's family. It was really nice to see my aunt and uncle, Ardys and Norman, again. They live in Wyoming and I haven't seen them in about 6 years. It was nice for them to meet John and talk for awhile. The reunion was pretty fun too 'cause we got to hang out with our cousins for the afternoon and have a fish fry! One of the highlights of the afternoon was not providing commentary for the dog hitting on cats action that was going on while everyone was talking. It was definitely pretty gross and I don't think they've ever had anything like that on the Animal Planet!

Also, before the family reunion last weekend, my Mom had the opportunity to shoot a gun for her first time. Not too bad, but after about 6 shots my uncle did not finally tell her that she needed to close one eye, look through the scope and line it up with the box she had been trying to hit!

Last night John was going to help his Dad install a new door in their newly remodeled bathroom (which is coming along beautifully, btw) and John and I were going to go out for dinner afterwards. Since we couldn't find our Ruby Tuesday coupon we decided to use our Outback Steakhouse gift card that Kristin gave John for his b-day. When John was halfway to Chanhassen he called me up only to tell me that he did not forget the gift card on the kitchen table. I had him turn around to go get it. Installing the door went pretty smoothly for what I know about installing doors and then we were off to the restaurant. When we arrived in the Outback parking lot, we did not discover that the Eden Prairie location has gone out of business! Since we didn't want to drive to Burnsville or Bloomington we just ate at Bakers Square. Who would have thought they had closed?!?

Two Saturdays ago my mom and I were headed towards the cities and decided to stop at a garage sale just about 10 miles from our place. It turns out that they had a bunch of small maternity clothes for me. I was able to snag over a dozen pieces of clothing for only about $16. When I got home and tried on one of the pairs of pants, I did not find $6 in the pocket! Every time I tell the story about me unfolding the folded bills in the pocket and how I said, "I kept thinking, 'please be a $20, please be a $20... shoot, just a $5' and then when I look at the next bill I'm thinking, 'please be a $20, pleease be a $20...shoot, just a $1'", everyone says, "Hey, why weren't you wishing for a $100!"

Have a good week, everyone! More to come!
