So far my new work schedule of working 4 ten hour days is going pretty well! I made it to day 2! I am getting up a half an hour earlier, which isn't too bad. The drive to work is better, but then again it was pretty good before. The drive home was about the same. My expectations for the day were pretty low. I figured it was going to go by oh so slowly and just drag on, but surprisingly it didn't.
I bumped my lunch back by 45 minutes. By my normal lunch time though, I was starving. Either I am going to have to be more diligent about eating breakfast or I will have to bring a mid day snack. When 3:30 rolled around, I kept thinking about how I should be walking out the door. Thankfully that didn't last long and I was soon wrapped up into another project. Before I knew it, the clock said it was 5 and it was time to go!
Overall, I feel like I had more time in the day to get into a a big project and actually feel like I had time to finish it and not feel rushed. I am also definitely looking forward to my Friday off!
On another work note, last week they changed the dress code and it is official, no more flip flops! I am a little sad, but it does give me an excuse to go buy dressier sandals! :) In the long run, I think the change will probably be better for the office. I have noticied already the other girls have been dressing nicer, like wearing heals with jeans and more dresses.
Lots of changes, but so far all of them good!

It's a Sizzler!
I was watching the news this morning while getting ready for work, when I heard the weather forecast for the next couple of days is going to hot, hot, hot! It's officially summer! According to Channel 7, the Inland Empire is going to be 102 today, tomorrow 103 and Friday 106! We will definitely be staying inside and trying to stay cool or maybe even hit up the pool! As I just wrote that, I realized that we had already planned a trip to Disneyland for Friday! Our passes are about to expire, in 7 days, so we have to go! Maybe we will head over to California Adventure and go on Grizzly River Run. It's always too cold when we go and I am not a big fan of walking around all wet. Hmmm, we also have reservations at the Blue Bayou. Not sure I want to be all wet while trying to have a nice dinner. Maybe they will be wrong! Here's to hoping it won't be as hot as they predict!
Anyways, it's going to be hot the next couple of days, so drink lot's of water everyone and stay cool!

What Honey?
Every since I was little, I used to talk in my sleep. A couple of times, I have even scarred people by sleep walking. In about 3rd grade, I was in girl scouts and we went on a trip to Minnesota. We stayed the night in a cave and sometime during the night I was sleep walking. Boy, did I scare my troop leaders. A cave is not exactly the safest place to do that!
Thankfully, I have out grown the sleep walking, but I still talk in my sleep! Ever since getting married, David is always telling me about what I say at night. He even jokes to other people, about how all of a sudden I will be sitting upright in bed and talking in clear, full on sentences. Now, I never remember anything the next morning and he never wakes me up. From what I have said, he believes that I am normally dreaming about work.
Everyone always asks me if David snores or talks in his sleep and that I know of he doesn't. In reality, he probably does but because I am such a deep sleeper and I can sleep through almost everything. Well what do you know! He does talk in his sleep and it was about a food! Just the other night, I was startled awake by him talking. He said something about, "Westend cafe is not good. Well, actually it's horrible." I couldn't believe it! I was thinking to myself, I have to write this down because I can't forget. Well, I was too darn sleepy to actually write it down. Thankfully, I remembered and when I told him in the morning he couldn't believe it.
So now when he tells people that I talk in my sleep, I can say that he does so as well!

Weekend Recap
I thoroughly enjoyed this last weekend! It was very relaxing and a much needed break from all of the busyness of life! Friday, after work I convinced the hubby to come with me shopping (what a great husband)! I had a gift card to H&M, which the girls gave me for my birthday that I still hadn't used. We headed on over there and I found several things that I loved and got them all! Hehe!
After shopping, we hit up Yard House for their happy hour. The rest of the evening was spent playing Mario Kart on the Wii. We just bought it so the novelty hasn't worn off yet!
Saturday, was spent celebrating Melissa's birthday. In the morning, we went to Simple Simon's with the family and it was nice to eat outside on a summer morning. We went home and I took a nap. Then we headed on down to Corona Del Mar beach, for a bonfire. I believe I have mastered the art of s'more making! The marshmallow needs to be nicely toasted and chocolate all melted. Yumm! Hope you had a wonderful birthday Melissa!
On Sunday, our alarm clock unfortunately did not go off and we missed church. It was weird being home on a Sunday morning. For some reason I decided to make crepes, which by the way I have never made in my life (post coming). I had a lot of fun making them. The afternoon was spent doing absolutely nothing, other than watch House: MD. FYI: the hubby deleted all 22 episodes of CSI that were saved on the DVR. We keep getting confused, as the episodes aren't in order and we keep missing critical character development. It's time to add them to our Netflix queue!
We went to dinner at Salsa Mar, to celebrate Father's day with David's dad. Like always their food was good. The salsa was even better than normal. It had a little bit more kick and I love that.
Since my folks are in Indiana, I spoke with my dad earlier in the day and he talked my ear off like normal. Housing prices, the car, and weather are always his topics of choice never fail, but I still love him!

Me as a Mosiac
I got this from Sara. here’s the idea:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into flickr search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into big huge lab’s mosaic maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.
The questions:
1. what is your first name?
2. what is your favorite food? right now?
3. what high school did you go to?
4. what is your favorite color?
5. who is your celebrity crush?
6. what is your favorite drink?
7. what is your dream vacation?
8. what is your favorite dessert?
9. what do you want to be when you grow up?
10. what do you love most in life?
11. what is one word that describes you?
12. what is your flickr name?
This was fun! Thanks Sara!

You look tired
Unfortunately I inherited my mom's lovely genetics, so like her I always have dark circles under my eyes regardless of how much sleep I get. Recently though I noticed that the circles under my eyes have gotten a lot darker. Whenever this happens, I have re-evaluate how much sleep I have been getting lately. I thought about it and for awhile now, I have been getting about 6 and half each night. I can totally function on 6 1/2 hours, but I need at least 8 hours of sleep a night to look and feel refreshed. I don't know if it's because the days are longer now or just that we have been busier. It's also hard for me to go to bed when David isn't ready. He gets to sleep in another 2 hours later than I do, so when the clock hits 9:30 he isn't ready to go to bed! I need to get into a better schedule, especially if in two weeks I am going to have to get up even earlier and work a longer day!
Do any of you need to go to bed before your husband does? Do you tend to stay up later because of him?

Too much CSI
Recently, David and I have been watching a lot of CSI: Las Vegas. We do not like the Miami or New York versions at all! It has to be Las Vegas version, as the characters are so much better. The hubby loves Grissom and I can't narrow down a favorite character. I love them all!
The DVR is set to record it and we currently have 11 episodes that we need to watch. Everyday there are more and more of them. I think there are at least 3 or 4 reruns shown everyday! Last night though, we decided to have a relaxing evening just at home. Which I definitely needed by the way! Way to much socializing was done this weekend and I needed a break! We watched 3 episodes and after the last one, we had to get out of the house and take a walk and clear our minds!
There is a point when you know you have been watching to much of one TV show and that is when you start dreaming about it! That's what has happened to me the last couple of nights. I think we need to take a break from CSI or only watch 1 an evening and not 3!
