Vacation Is Over

Vacation is over - time to get back in the work mode. I think I lucked out with the weather this past week - it wasn't too hot every day. If I had waited until this week I would be miserable - 90s forecasted for every day - too damn hot! I think I will like being in an air-conditioned building even if I have to do work!

I found my binder of recipes - Yay!! i though I had lost it. I found an old Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that I tried out tonight - they didn't turn out like I wanted. Not sure if it's because I cut the recipe in half or if it's because it's so hot in the condo. I don't even know if I will bring them in to work tomorrow - very disappointing. I will next try the White Chocolate Raspberry Tart recipe I found.

The baby shower went OK yesterday - people who said they were going to be there didn't show up - a lot of guests arrived late - including the guest of honor. The shower started at 100 and she didn't get there until 200. One of the people that got there at 2 brought her dog - and not a cute little tiny dog - oh no - it was a rangbunctious black lab! I am very thankful for the two other ladies that helped with the shower - Susan and Barb - they were incredible! They really should be professional party planners - they put together a really nice shower. Shannon - who was supposed to be the 4th person was not a help at all - she's the one that sent the evites out late and then didn't include all of the information. She was supposed to bring the water and soda and didn't. When Susan asked her about it she said - well, no one emailed me back so I didn't do it. Even though her email said - I will bring water and soda - i guess because we didn't acknowledge that she was doing that she decided she didn't need to. Overall - I think people had a good time - I felt like a hired helper.

It's 900 right now and I probably should head to bed soon - it hasn't really cooled off very much - I took a cool shower but am all hot and sticky again. Weather shows it is down to 79 outside - doesn't feel like it. Any ideas on where I could hang out for a bit after work during the week to stay cool - it would need to be a dog friendly area so poor little Muppet can cool off too. Only thing I can think of is in the car with the air-conditioning running.
