Welcome to the Asylum

I write this entry assuming that you read my entry about what a crazy week was in store for me last week. Well, as I embark on a new week, I find it necessary to vent a bit, and in general, unwind. Bare with me as I ramble into oblivion. Not to worry, I only have about 30 minutes until my sleeping pill kicks in... then it's lights out.

I think we are all caught up through Thursday when I had my interview with a robot. Thursday night, however, I went to play trivia at Old C's and with the help of Carlito, I came in second... slash third. If you need and explaintion of how this happens, check out the trivia blog from that night. There's a wonderful (NOT!) picture of me with Carlito and how the night went down.

Friday was pretty standard wackiness at OS. Giggles and I routinely lose our minds on Friday and it's pretty much just a big game of who loses it first and who loses it worst. In the end we always end up pretty even by annoying our co-workers to the "nth" degree. We got a smattering of snow which caused everyone to forget the basics of driving 101 on the wonderful ride back to the subburbs which pretty much explains the life of a city commuter. Friday night I hung out at Old C's with my favorite bartenders again after I was dissed by some other friends.

Saturday was a workshop at the OS and so I had to get up early and work. Overtime is great and all, but it messed up the chi of the day!! After work I decided to go to the market and on the way stopped by to check out the 24Hour Fitness near me. After a tour and explanation of prices, I decided to join. I'm going in tomorrow after work to sign the paperwork and get my membership card. :) I've also found out that my parents are almost definitely coming out for Memorial day to see me and so that my dad and I can do the Bolder Boulder together!! YAY!! I eventually did get to the market and home where I made a wonderfully low fat dinner. I had just enough time to check my email and make a phone call before I had to head off to the church I design lights for for a meeting with the director of the service. I can't even tell you how great it was to finally have some one on one time with her without all the other committee members telling me their opinions. In short, I don't give a damn about what those other people want to see done!! It's between me and the director. Besides, you, my dear, have shitty taste!

Today was spent (and I do mean ALL of today) at Comcast Media Center in Centennial watching a taping of Food Network Challenge. This one was really different, and I would tell you all about it except I had to sign a non-disclosure waver saying that I wouldn't tell what went on during the taping and that if I did FNC had the right to come break my kneecaps.. I couldn't take pictures and there were only 50 people allowed to come. Last time I went there was no guest list, anyone could come and go as they please, you could take pictures, and there was no waver. I was pretty upset about the picture thing. I'll blog more about it after the show airs the third week of April. The other taping I went to is called Chocolate Masterpeices and is showing during chocolate week in February (around Valentine's day). I got to the studio at 7:45am and left at 7:30pm. Crazy!! About the show, all I can say is that Food Network may have taken this a little too seriously and I think that's a damn shame.

A full weekend but fun and I got some good stuff done. I'm getting a little heavy lidded... guess I've been typing for about 3o minutes, eh?

I did fail to mention that on Wednesday night I traveled down south to Courtney and Matt's who so graciously invited me to come watch the LOST season premier. Though it's a bit of a drive for me, it was a lot of fun!! Until Joe came in through the balcony door (she's on the 2nd floor by the way) and scared the ever loving Jesus out of me...

Until next time....
