Busy

I had a busy week, and never got a chance to post a blog over the weekend, which was brought to my attention by a few loyal readers.

It started off just busy and hectic at work.  Mondays are the worst because everyone is trying to play catch up from all the slacking they did on Friday, so I am constantly fielding phone calls from policy holders and claimants who have no idea what they're doing, and stepping them through every little part of the process.  Annoying.  Seminars or something need to be held with new employees and their policy holders when they come over to our company.  It would save a lot of time.  And then, give 'em a cheat sheet at the end of it all so they can use it, instead of calling me all day long.

Thursday night I went bowling with Natalie and Barbara.  Fun times.  It was good to hang out with some girls and talk girl talk all night.  I haven't done that in forever.  I got to drive Aaron's car, as long as I filled it up with gas before I brought it home again.  The roads were terrible because it had started snowing again, but it was still warm, so it was that bit, wet, horrible snow that sticks to everything.  But I made it home safe and sound.

On Friday, some of my co-workers were putting on a fund raiser for the breast cancer awareness walk that's going on in September.  It was at a place called Houlihan's, and 5% of the meal ticket went towards their fund raiser, along with any donations.  They did pretty well, it sounds like, so good for them.  Aaron and I went, sat around for a while for a table, got some drinks at the bar, and ate some really good food. 

Saturday was pretty relaxed.  I think.  I don't really remember what we did on Saturday, so I guess it wasn't too incredible.  I think there was a lot of running around involved.  Sunday was grocery shopping.  We went to a place called Trader Joe's, which sells a lot of organic and wholesale stuff.  It was a teeny store packed with tons of people, and filled with things I wasn't familiar with.  Aaron said I was walking around the store with a look of horror upon my face.  That may have been true, it was pretty scary.  Then went over to Jamie and Karlie's on Sunday evening for some burgers, hot dogs, and hangin' out time.  We hadn't seen them in over a month for whatever reason, and it was about time.

Monday was Monday, and today was a Tuesday.  The weather is finally getting warmer and more friendly, and I can even seen green grass sprouting up, people on motorcycles, and barbecues stinking up the back yard.  It's Spring!

I've been trying to wear my contact lenses more frequently, because I had gotten out of the habit of wearing them when I was sick.  Then the nosepads on my glasses broke, so I couldn't wear my glasses, and was forced to wear my contacts 6 days a week, ALL day long.  It was rough.  Sometimes my eyes would sting after I took them out.  I think I'm getting used to them again.  They just seem to be more of a hassle than what they should be.  Maybe I should look into lasik. 

Well, it's getting close to that time of night.  Hopefully I'll be able to post next weekend.  Aaron's folks are coming into town on Friday, and we're going to a Twins game on Sunday!  I'm excited!
