Weekend Recap

hello everyone. I really don't have much of a weekend recap, since all I did this weekend was work, go to the gym, and watch Sex & the City reruns, but here's the weekly dish anyway.

First of all, thanks to all for the great songs on the last post. I've been mad downloading to check them all out! :) If you have more, you can def. keep posting.

Second, I think I am finally starting to come out of my work funk (reference last week's picks & pans comments) thanks to some FANTASTIC news!!!! Starting in two weeks, I will officially be a Monday-Friday supe. wooohooo! Yes, I got my dream 8-4:30 shift!!! I am so psyched. I even get to take my two best people with me, since they also got the schedule and they told our manager they didn't want to work for anyone else but me. god knows why, but hey it worked out just fine so why question. But, although it's common knowledge in management now, none of the counselors on the affected teams know yet (and there are a lot), so if you read this and also work with me (ahem WFM girl :Þ), please keep it quiet for now. telling my team is the part that's gonna suck. but I may have actually already worked my last Saturday! I can't even believe it! some stuff I'll miss though-- my team of course, only having to dress up 2 or 3 times a week, and 3 days off with time to do stuff! oh, and being home to watch Oprah! lol. plus, the last time I had a weekday schedule I was working so hard I was about to have a mariah carey... but since this team won't involve the stress of being in charge of a multi-million dollar development project, a headstrong young staff, and strict sign off dates, this should be better :)

Also, I am thinking about going home to Philly for the Super Bowl. After catching up with my good friend Nick the other night and hearing about how after the NFC championship he joined the craziness in the city streets, I just don't know how I could not go. So, I think I'm going to take him up on his offer of watching the game in the city with him and his wife and friends, who are all like my big brothers. or even if I don't do that, just being anywhere near the city for it should be absolutely fantastic. I just wish it weren't such a hassle to get home. damn 6 hour trip, Delaware cops, noisy cat, and my car needing premium gas... oh well. we'll see.

Lastly, in other music notes, I have recently realized that I am not anywhere near the music fan I thought I was. It all started with not being able to fill my 20 gig iPod, but now there are all sorts of songs that I am finding out about that I had never heard before-- and these are essentials! So, I am starting to put together a collection of all of the essential songs that everyone should know and love so I can burn them and put them on my iPod. Here's a sample of what I am including so far: Bob Dylan- The Times They Are A Changin', Cat Stevens- Wild World, CCR- Fortunate Son, Don McLean- American Pie, Lynyrd Skynyrd- Free Bird, Kansas- Dust in the Wind, Simon & Garfunkel- Sound of Silence, Grateful Dead- Uncle John's Band, Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven, The Who- Behind Blue Eyes... anyway, feel free to agree or disagree or of course to add your own. I'm gonna go on a new downloading spree on my days off this week :)

k off to relax. happy end of the weekend everyone! :)
