Birthday Week Got Extended

Well, birthday week was good fun. We went out to eat a few times too, so that was nice. Rob and Sarah took Jenee out to dinner at Olive Garden, so needless to say Jenee definately had a great birthday. On her actual birthday, I made Jenee breakfast in bed and told her that she could do whatever she wanted and I would take care of everything else. The appartment desparately needed cleaning so I dilligently set to the task, while Jenee spread her self out and started quilting. I really enjoy quilting with her, and I resumed my role as the Sheriff of Circular Cutters (becasue someone doesn't have time to make straight lines).

It was definately a productive weekend cause in two days, Jenee finished one quilt that had been lingering on for a while, and started and all but completed another quilt. She has some pictures of the quilts so I will let her post them here when she gets a moment.

Now, why is birthday week extended? Well there are two good reasons. First of all, her bff David drove down last night to visit her, and second of all, we get to go to Disney world tomorrow. Yup, we're taking the day and going to Disney. Neither of us have been before and David's girlfriend Katie, works there and is going to bring us as guests! Sweet! So, I will make sure that there are lots of pictures for you to enjoy. We haven't had pictures for a while huh?

So what's next? Well, in two weeks we are heading back to TX for a visit but between then and now, I have two proposals to co-author and submit, and Jenee has some hours to make up at work. Actually, at the time of writing, I have just finished editing the proposal after 9 hours so I am beat. Time to go and have some grub...

Birthday Week Started Yesterday

It's T-6 Days till Jenee's Birthday (Sunday) and as I was reminded today, its really Birthday-Week. To start Birthday Week off with a bang, I took Jenee off for an early birthday present. Jenee has a particular brand of cosmetics she really likes, and because of sensitive skin, she is better off keeping to. Well, she had run out some time ago and has been procrastinating buying more becasue of the cost. So, armed with some early birthday money from a certain someone (you know who you are) we headed off to the Beauty Lorf, a little botique store that only sells cosmetic products. Jenee got a bunch of things she had been wanting and then had to stop. Until husband said that if she wanted the rest, he would step in and pay for the rest of her items so she could have an early birthday present. I have bought her Disney DVD's for the last two years so I had to break the cycle. So, moral of the story, the Birthday Girl is happy as can be.

But, I have to say, the family that run the business are very good sales people. I even got the sales pitch for some shaving product and left with some samples to try, a shaving foam and an aftershave if I remember correctly. I don't know whether its a good thing or not to be able to be interested in botique cosmetic products for men from a botique store... lol

As I mentioned before (I think) we were both sick last week so we have some catching up this week at work and home. We spent the weekend sleeping, quilting and watching Top Gear videos. Obviously we were both recuperating from our colds, and needed to rest but now we have vacuuming, laundry, car wash, proposals, reports, data entry and so on to catch up on. Looks like we'll be busy.
