Happy Monday! I hope you all had fabulous weekends!
My weekend was pretty good. :-) Made a batch of cake pops, spent Saturday night at Kirstren's Halloween party (I went as a nurse, in case you were wondering.) and Sunday was relaxing and indulging in my newest Facebook obsession - Sorority Life.
I'm going country on you and sharing Travis Tritt's "Great Day To Be Alive". The song is almost a decade old, but makes me smile every time I hear it.
Something else that makes me laugh?! That would be last weeks' group Hustle on DWTS! Check it out... especially the wigs on the guys. :-)
Have you entered my last giveaway of the month? No?!?! Enter here, and enjoy your day!
I'm a natural insomniac... but this whole ear infection/sinus infection thing has me losing even more sleep. I am sooo tired! Hence, the attention span of a gnat.
Did everyone partake in 50 cent iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts today? I did! Twice! On the way to work (plus I bought an iced latte) and then again in the afternoon (bless my sweet co-worker for making a Dunkies run in the pouring rain). YUMMY!!

I am so proud to have seen so many people wearing orange for sweet, sweet little Stellan today. He's here in Boston, and I hope that MckMama got to look out the hospital window and see the people supporting her.
Tonight I relaxed with the puppies and watched DWTS and then The Unusuals. I don't think I have ever seen a celebrity THAT excited to leave DWTS as Lawrence Taylor was. Great shout-out to his golfing buddies to meet him at 9:30 to tee off though... *snicker, snicker* I love quirky shows (Fringe, Rescue Me, In Plain Sight) and kudos to ABC for The Unusuals. Amber Tamblyn is great and the show is a new favorite. :-)
I'm the resident "music guru" for most of my friends and family. I have a totally random iPod... everything from The Muppets (go ahead and laugh!) to Frank Sinatra to Rachel Yamagata to Cake to well...you name it, I probably have it! For a while I've really liked Ray LaMontagne and I have one of his songs STUCK in my head. So I'm going to share and hope it gets stuck in your head too!
Today was race day - the 113th annual running of the Boston Marathon. It's a great day in our state. There were over 26k runners this year; simply amazing!
Not only was it race day, it is also a state holiday and the start of school vacation. That means a super speedy commute to work... UNTIL I got to the off ramp. Then I found all the people that were missing from the roads before.
On the plus side - it's great to see all these people going to support the runners and to see the Red Sox game (BTW... a 12 to 1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. GO SOX!!!!). My office is also in a great location to see said marathon.
The down side - that my office is in a prime location meant lots of loiterers, a hard time getting into our parking garage, and too much traffic (both foot and vehicular) to make my daily Starbucks run.
All in all, a great day to be around Boston!
In other news...
YAY to Ellie!! Her hubby is one of JC's close friends and has made it home for leave from Afghanistan. I adore both of them, and am simply thrilled that he's home (even if I don't get to see him).
Tonight I'm taking in DWTS. Maybe I'll even do a post on it later tonight or tomorrow. I'd love to hear what you think of this season.
If anybody has tips on how to deal with a hardcore sinus headache, PLEASE tell me. After a week of constant pain, I broke down and went to a Minute Clinic (my doc is on vacation). Turns out I have a sinus infection and ear infection. Good news is that it's viral; bad news is that it means no meds & it can possibly last another 7-10 days.
Another night of ups and downs on DWTS, including some REALLY good dances for this early in the season. Below are my high (and low) lights.
- Holly gets dragged around like a rag doll by Dmitry. + Denise does a good quick step. Much improved from last week! - Belinda was BAD. Poor thing tried, but looked very stiff and uncomfortable. + Ty's dance looked more like a dance this week; and less like an Army maneuver. - Steve Wozniak's dance him compared to Wall-E. - Steve-O is hurt and we see a tape of his dress rehersal. + Little Kim rocked out her dance. She was good last week, and even better this week without any references to her jail time! + Melissa did an amazing dance too! - The costume department needs to not dress Melissa and Tony like they come from the Amazon! + Gilles was by far the best of the male celebrities. He did AWESOME!
Did you watch? I think one of the Steves is leaving tonight. What do you think?
