Baseball, hot dogs, databases and hey, birthdays!!
Friday, August 31st, 2007

Hey, Internets, I’m BAACK!

Not that I really went anywhere but into the bowels of a major work project, but I’m finally peeking my head out and looking forward to the holiday weekend. (in which chickwriter extends her weekend by taking Tuesday, 9/4 off so I can spend my birthday being a lazy bitch).

Up late last night online with bheerfan playing the hey, moving databases game. I got done testing sites about 12:45 or so, then basically was awake until about 2:30. Then awake at 5:30 and finally up at 7. Whee, isn’t insomnia fun? /sarcasm

I saw my new gyn this week. I adore her beyond the telling of it. We talked about the fun, fun, fun of menopause and after the requisite exam, I walked out with a prescription for Ambien. I am so looking forward to sleeping a full night.

Wednesday night, we had a company outing to a Potomac Nationals minor league baseball game. It was fun, amusing and I’m glad I went – mostly because I haven’t been doing anything social in such a long time. We had a box, just above the opposing team’s dugout. I was close enough to watch the players sweat, spit and oh yeah, adjust their crotches. Fascinating. ;-)

Got to see one home run and hang out with folks. All in all, not a bad evening.

A couple of cool things arrived in time for birthday goodness: Season 1 of Heroes and Friday Night Lights. Whee!!!

Today I have a short work day (always of the good!) – at 1:00 I have a lunch meeting with one of my favorite clients, then after that a short doctor visit and I’m home for the duration. I’m SOOO looking forward to a long holiday/birthday weekend.

Speaking of birthdays: HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY DAY to the always fabulous and darling estrella30. Loads of love and hugs to you, Nan. The birthday icon is on your behalf.

::twirls you::

I know I missed a few birthdays in the mad rush of August, but I was silently wishing you ALL a wonderful natal day.

Hope everyone has wonderful plans for the weekend…even if it’s just being quiet.

    and after the requisite exam, I walked out with a prescription for Ambien. I am so looking forward to sleeping a full night.

    I’m an Ambien devotee, but I am interested in trying the new CR formulation. If it works as promised (kicking in later to keep me asleep) and as well as original recipe works putting me to sleep, I may just cry. *g*

    damn, must be sleepier than I thought…

    ’cause that’s the best explanation for misreading this
    adjust their crotches
    as “adjust their crochet.”

    Glad you are having a positive gyn experience!
