It Is Thursday, All Day

I got up early today (per usual).  Ready to quickly get ready and head to work for my overtime.  I scaled back the OT this week.  I worked late on Monday and decided to only go in one hour early everyday.  Today, it is not happening.  I am just sitting here playing with the computer.  Have not been able to force myself to go early.  I am training someone and that makes the day seem longer......  Today she will get to work at her own workstation.  That will make her very happy!!  No fun to sit and watch me work.  I can promise that is super not fun. 
Looking forward to after work.  Meeting the OL and Easy Rider.
  No, we are not having a small reading party.  We are going to a pottery shop.  We have been talking about it for awhile.  Just have not found the time.  I want to paint one of those ceramic Christmas Trees.  I know it is March.  I want it ready for next year.  Every year I think about doing one and run out of time.  Not this year!  This is the year of my Christmas Tree.  With that to look forward to, the day could seem sllllllllower.
Time has also slowed to a crawl because of our exciting week-end.  On Saturday, The Hubby and I are taking The Kid and his Cousin to Springfield.  We are having a LincolnPalooza.  All day, all Abe!  Yes, I might have a book in my purse just in case I tire of Abe before my male friends do.  It is possible!  I have already bought new journals and mechanical pencils for the Cousins.  They are going to love this day!!!!!  So glad we get to share it with them.  Counting blessings again!
Hope you have a Super Thursday too!

Night Out

Once in awhile we do grown-up stuff. When we do it is usually with my husband's brother and his wife. Seated across the table from me. We always have a great time. There is usually wine and food. Last night was not an exception. This was a big get together. We invited my brother and his wife and a friend from long ago and his wife. The occasion was to see a wine and cheese cafe.
The afternoon was hot. So very hot & humid. We were not looking forward to being outside. Before we left the rains came. Lots of rain. We were concerned our outside time would be spoiled. We were pleasantly surprised when the temperature and humidity dropped. The temperature was in the 70's. It was wonderful.
Part of the name is TCC. Stands for Two Crazy Chicks. One of the crazy chicks our server. She was delightful. We had a great time with her. She seemed to have a great time with us. I know she enjoyed tallying up our bills. We really did our part to help her business.
The wine was fantastic. Normally, I stay with white wine. Last night I went red with a pinot noir. It did not disappoint me. Delicious! We all ordered appetizers to go with our wine and shared. I ordered a garlic & herb flatbread, ummm, delish. Someone ordered a plate of meat. Duck was on the meat tray, also delish. There was brie with raspberry sauce on top, pretzel bread, cheese tray, french bread. Everything was unique and so verrrrry good.
Conversation flowed with the wine. We were small town impressed with their gadgets. They had this thing that cooled wine instantly. Crazy!! Laughter flowed with the wine. It was a relaxing, enjoyable, delicious night.
Today I am off on another adventure. This time with the kids.
