Had some friends over for dinner last night, and it was WAY more fun than you should have on a Monday night when you have to work the next day, that's for sure!
My co-worker said the coolest thing at lunch yesterday... He was talking about all the work he did on his garden last week and all the work he'll be doing over the long weekend next week, and he said, "We are all victims of our dreams."
How true...
I won a bowling bag!
Last night was the officer's meeting for the leagues at my bowling alley. My dad is the president of my league, and he brings me as a guest. After the meeting, there is a buffet dinner (the food is great!) and then a no tap tournament (which means that you only have to knock down 9 pins to get a strike). I won the women's prize with a 216, 169 and 205! :-)
Took my aunt out to lunch for her birthday and we had a great time. Gave her the necklace I bought her in November in St. Thomas on Ron and my honeymoon. It's about freaking time!!!! :-)
Best of luck to Billy, Erica and Faith as they go in for some more scheduled tests tomorrow.

Thunderstorms, so I couldn't use the grill... Power went out while I was cooking with an electric stove... Steak was overcooked because the thermometer lied to me. Otherwise, dinner was awesome, and Ron really liked it. :-) Oven fries were the best.
Today is Ron's birthday! I'm going to make dinner for him, so if you don't see any posts for a while, we didn't survive. ;-)
I was having a pretty good night playing mellophone yesterday, when all of a sudden, we finished playing a song, and my friend turns to me and says, "Lisa - you blew your BALLS off on that!" Figuratively speaking, of course.
Later that night, I was trying to figure out why my stomach felt like I just did 50 crunches, and then I realized I must have been breathing correctly (yes - there is a correct way to breathe and most of us do it wrong.)
So - yeah - that was pretty cool.
Update: She's bruised but okay. The stuff landed on her shoulder.
A good friend of mine got hurt at work today because some overhead shelving fell on top of her. Last I heard, her other half was picking her up to take her to the hospital. Hopefully, all is okay, but since I have no information, I'm worried enough to be distracted.
Yesterday my mom threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law. It was very nice, and everyone had a good time. My grandfather made some nicely painted wooden birdhouses for prizes, and I was in charge of games. Erica got nearly everything she needs for Faith, and that's without even getting anything from her side of the family yet. She decided to save her family's shower for after the baby is born to celebrate her healthy birth, which I thought was a great idea. So, that puts us about 6 weeks away from the birth of my niece!
I think I've finally reached a crossroads where my quiet, easy going nature is going to start affecting my career. My review says in a nutshell that I do good work, but I'm too laid back for my position. I need to become more extroverted and every once in a while say what's on my mind instead of taking 20 years to formulate it exactly the way I want it to come out.
I really want to do this because I want to progress in my career. The question is, can I do it without behaving like someone that I don't want to be?
Fiddlesticks...
And as I told one of my friends at work, now that Monday's over, the rest of the week can't be that bad!
I'm pretty happy with the way Reviews By Lisa is going. I'm getting out a review every other day (still trying for every day!) and some of my friends have sent me some encouraging words.
Skippy's being a maniac tonight, so I'd better get off my computer and help Ron.
Goodnight all!
Saw Mama Mia yesterday with some friends from Melrose. It was great - really funny! And I'm sure the music is going to be fun to sing in chorus for the GAS in May. Then went to the Blue Moon for open mic night. It was a good evening to end a long work day in meetings.
In other news, my geek radar is really going nuts over this one - http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/a8f6/
I've started another blog!
http://reviewsbylisa.blogspot.com/
The purpose is to provide my unique point of view on the products and services that I use every day and maybe make some money in ad revenue and by being an Amazon Associate. I really hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think.
Found out that my mom is reading my blog. Cool! I'll be even more impressed when she starts one!
Also, happy birthday to my brother, Billy.
Found out that one of my coworkers had a stroke over the weekend and is in ICU. He's only 35 years old. Don't know many details, but from what I've heard, it was bad enough that he's paralyzed and can't talk right now.
Unreal... Your whole life can change just like that.
Prepare for the future while enjoying life now, I guess. You never know what kind of hand life is going to deal you.
