It’s Friday …. Is it too late for a nap!

I have always understood the phrase “Thank God It’s Friday” but never really said it, cause while I love Friday it’s a fun day but it’s also a reminder that in two days the work week begins. Not to mention that weekends have become this never ending stress ball of things to do, people to see, and things to clean. We only have two days and I don’t want to spend one of them running all over town especially when I know the other is going to require at least half a day at church. I don’t like thinking about the fact my weekend is already spent before it even begins, especially this week. As I’ve said it’s been a long week, a good week, a productive week, a successful week, but yes a long week none the less.

Yesterday at this time I was sitting in a hotel room with 6 guys starring at a wall with some text on it. Yeah you might have been expecting something a little more exciting … 6 dudes and a chick in a hotel room and all … but yeah my life is not that exciting. At noon yesterday I was informed that I would need to travel with some coworkers to finalize a presentation to a client. Mostly they wanted someone who could get copies printed/bound as leave behinds. We worked until about 11:30 and I think I fell asleep around 1. I was so stressed about over sleeping that I woke up several times during the night and now all of that is catching up with me. It was a quick trip, overnight and it included a casino. Sadly I didn’t even spend a quarter, which I’m pretty sure is or at least should be illegal. One simply shouldn’t walk into a casino and not play; I mean I should have at least threw a quarter in a slot machine so I could hold my head up high around my fellow gamblers. It was a quick trip but it literally zapped me from any energy I had left in the tank for this week. The guys came back today (long after I did) and they all said the presentation went well and they appreciated everything I did, which is always nice to hear. So fingers crossed it went as well as they hoped and we get some good news soon!

So now it’s Friday night, I’ve watched 3 episodes of Good Eats, and I’m struggling to stay awake at 8:30pm, though no fault of Alton Brown who is an awesome and amazing man, even if he is also a little “Evilicious” and i'm pretty sure he's my elementary school principal just using a stage name.

What’s insane to me is that by 10 pm I’ll be wide awake and lay there until 1am wishing I could sleep, and right now I’m doing everything I can just to make it to 9…stupid second wind! My goal for this weekend is to clean my car. I have a planned road trip coming up (more on that soon!) and I like to start road trips with a clean car, even if at the end of the trip the car looks like Andy Dick on a 3 day bender. So while I sleep away most of my Saturday (ahhh the joy of not having a husband or kids) I hope you all have a nice safe Saturday and enjoy your weekend. (PS I’m two days away from making my goal of a post a day!!! I should come up with something fun to celebrate…..).
