The review went well. It was a late(ish) lunch, I love when enterprise buys me lunch. Not much else to say on that only that by Wednesday I will know if I will get a raise.
Last night I had a great workout (though I'm still not running much faster).
Lillie called to let me know about more RSVP's but after a hot shower and full stomach I was falling asleep. Poor Lillie. It's sad but I was mostly asleep by 8:30 with a brief phone call from my mom waking me up at 9. I'm not sure why i was so tired.

Review Time
It's that time of year again. My annual review, While i am not horribly worried about the actual review, It will be the first year in a while that I have not received the review BEFORE the actual meeting. while i can understand why they would wait. It was nice to have all my comments done and ready to go before the actual meeting.
Pat on the other hand had a very interesting day and while I won't post too much, we had a nice long walk to talk over some stuff. (nothing big don't worry). I also discovered that i can't pace around my apartment for extra steps, I'm too worried about the down stairs neighbor being annoyed by all my noisey steps. It's one thing to walk around for a reason it's another to walk around for extra steps. Sigh, she probably wasn't even home.

What Friends Are For
Last night I got caught up with Anne, She's moving along nicely on her wedding plans. She also let me know she did not forget her promise to me, apparently sometime around my wedding I made her promise to take me cake testing with her when it was time for her wedding. Thank goodness she remembered because I did not, I love cake and look forward to eating it whenever possible. It's in Albany but I'm thinking as long as it's not more then a 4 hour drive I'll make it. It will be fun to see her and well, there is cake involved. Now if I can only get her to consider ice cream cake, maybe just for the tasting?

Shower
This shower is going to drive me crazy. Four of the invitations were sent back to me, I contacted another to see if she would be abke to make it and she hadn't received the invite yet. Then on of the guests called and let me know she received the invitation twice (under her married and maiden names).
I heard back from a handful of people right away then nothing (so I e-mailed for RSVP's). Honestly most of the family I knew were not going to be able to make it but I don't want to guess so I e-mailed them. I have many phone calls to make this weekend to local friends that have not contacted me to RSVP. We were waiting on figuring out how many people we would have before setting a menu, but it's a gaining on us fast. hopefully everything will be done this weekend.

Balloons Everywhere
My co-worker got free tickets to the hot air balloon festival this weekend. He was nice enough to give me 2 of them So Pat and I went to the Balloon festival! It took us 2 tries to get there. We left in the early afternoon only to read on the tickets that we would have to wait until 6:30 to see the balloons take off. So we took a detour to the grocery store. Then It stormed until about 5PM I was worried we wouldn't make it because of the weather! but it finally cleared up and off we went for round 2. This one was clear sailing! I was surprised at how many people were there despite the earlier bad weather. We walked around to visit some of the vendors as we had a little time to spare before the balloons were to take off, just the typical stuff. Thought their was a mobile Quick check store, Pat did not want to check it out so I made a note of it and walked on.
The balloons themselves were interesting. They did not get to take off because of the bad weather, but allot of them did inflate to show off. They did not disappoint. Most were the average teardrop shaped balloon (one looked like a tux, pretty neat). but then there were others that were completely different. Their was an american flag, rectangle and all (which is apparently very hard to inflate), as well as a barn complete with animals and a silo(?), my favorite was the Bee that I did not get a great photo of because it went up as we were leaving. The only disappointment for the evening was that the darth vader balloon did not inflate. The guy said it took hours to fold it up properly and he did not want to risk it getting wet in the rain. I guess i can't blame him too much but i would love to see the balloon inflated. (even Pat was disappointed he did not get to see it).

Day Off
Pat went to Hackettstown to visit a friend. So I got a day off, I watched cheesy TV shows and took a nice long walk. It may sound strange but it's nice to get rid of him and have some time to myself in the apartment. Though inevitably I end up cleaning, as long as I have my Cheesy TV that Pat hates in the background I'm happy.
I did go shopping (quickly as to not wast my home alone time too much). I am getting nicely stocked up on gym cloths, a few more items and I'll be really set. I also got a new bikini, I'm not sure what possessed me but I thought it was really cute and I couldn't resist . It has been years since buying a new bikini, and then I buy 2 this year (one out of necessity). It's not often that I am so caught up on something like that, a little strange but it made me happy!). Now if I could only find cloths I like for the office I really need some new work cloths.

Walk Of Shame
I have heard much of this walk of shame. Up until now I have avoided it well. No it's not the actual walk of shame, I have to put my own twist to it.
I have been having bladder issues as of late. Sigh, let's just say I have been going lots and running allot. so just as my workout ended I had to go. So I went to the restroom, Unfortunately it was a few steps further then my bladder can hold. Happily it was only a little but enough especially with the workout pants on.
I not surprisingly left immediately and had a long walk home.

NJ Traffic
Do you ever wonder Why the traffic is so bad in NJ? Well let me tell you. Today on the way to work their was an accident. It was on the right shoulder not blocking any lanes. Now every one in NJ likes to gawk and that is usually enough to ruin a morning commute, today was different. NJ decided to block off part of the left hand lane. This forced a merge just before the accident point. Now I could see closing a lane around the accident if necessary but on the other side of the highway? Apparently just to rob us of more time as the road was WIDE open, no apparent reason for the close in site.
What a strange state this is.
