[I] do mind. The Dude minds. This will not stand. This aggression will not stand, man.

It feels like forever since I posted, but it is just cause this has been a crazy hellish week and I am glad to put in my rear view mirror.  Although this week has not been all bad - because last night I had a blast going out with My Guy and our friends.  It felt like the first time I have taken a deep breath all week.  There were moments where I realized how gorgeous the grounds of Crane Estate are and the music (Entrain) was fun and the food and the friends were - and - well - are part of the reason today I do not feel like completely burnt toast.

I am really disappointed in myself because I have not done one lick of exercise since Monday - instead I have been working 12-13 hour days and not sleeping and probably eating too much.   I have to admit I traded a part of my life (more than I would like to admit) for my job.  It is all consuming and it was something I wanted and worked hard to achieve.

Now the weekend is creeping up on us (as it appears time has stopped in my office) and I am at a complete loss of what to do.  First, I am totally exhausted and could use like 3 days in my bed to recover.  Second, I am behind (yes, I know right now I should be working not blogging) in work and need to get more work done to catch up.  Third,  I at a loss on what to do for fun.

So I have some ideas:

1)  Go running and swimming so I feel better about the "exercise-deprivation" I am feeling from the week.
2)  Dog park - my dog totally rocks and spending time with him downtown is pretty awesome - downside is that it takes a huge chunk of the day.
3)  Do something completely different than I normally do - just to feel somewhat jolted out of this work week funk.

So the challenge is on for me to do something - anything that will take me out of my normal routine and bring some zip and zang into my weekend so it doesn't go down as one of those weekends that you can barely remember what you did or how it could possibly be over.  That does not mean a completely slammed weekend of activities...just something that makes me stand up and say...  WEEKEND!

I am not always clever enough to come up with these things, but heck a girl has to try right?
