late night blogging

stupid tv: sometimes, you see really stupid ads on late night tv. this one in question for now is astepro. astepro is a relatively new nasal spray for allergies. sounds good so far....until you actually listen to the commercial. the warning states "do not take it if you have an allergy or adverse reaction to astepro." really? i thought it was perfectly fine to continue to take meds that you are alergic to. go figure.

dancing: dwts has been pretty good this season. i'm really interested to find out who will make it to the final 2. i typically root for the underdog but this season, i don't think the underdog will have a shot at the prize. but he's pretty cute to look at.

sick men: ugh. need i say more?

easter: easter morning, my parents, bbfe, nik, and private came over for brunch. we had an egg and sausage strata, french toast casserole, waldorf salad, watergate salad, brie, and mimosas. yum! i only wish that bbfe wasn't sick with allergies. grumpus!

kitkat: best wishes to private and her new kitty. i think they're going through growing pains in order to get to now each other. hopefully it'll even out towards the end of the week.

procrastinator: i'm really not interested in going to work today. can't i just stay home and work from here? as it is i have meetings all the way through to the end of the day so there's not even a chance to cut out a bit earlier. oy.

good friday

friday was good: today is good friday. today was also a good friday. work was ok....got a chance to speak candidly with a senior leader on how a certain project is not valuable in it's current state and we shouldn't roll out. socialized with peeps from work and left early.

parents: ...are visiting for the weekend and we all went out to emilio's tapas restaurant in midlothian. it was fair. i'm not sure we would head back. both bbfe and i agreed that europa is a much better option. the food there (europa) is superior, the service knowledgeable and attentive. the choice of selections at emilio's was abundant but mainly potatoes and fish based. as a non-fish eater due to allergies, i had a harder time finding tapas entrees that i could eat. one of them ended up being an appalling empanada. it looked like something that they just shoved into puff pastry and fried. it was way too greasy.

easter: i have a basket for my mom which she'll have to find in the house. since she hasn't been here for over 6 months, i have lots of hiding places to take advantage of.
