Buffy, Biff and Beathey - A Case of the Mondays

Every Monday morning I cannot help but think of the movie Office Space where the annoying chubby lady accuses Peter of having a "case of the Mondays." I love what his neighbor says when he asks him if people say that at his job. "I believe you'd get your ass kicked for that." I lent the movie to one of my co-workers and she loved it. She is one of those people who is almost always chipper, but I still like her. I have two people lined up to borrow it. When you work in a corporate office, especially one like mine, you learn to appreciate that kind of humor. I didn't get Dilbert until I started at CFI. I used to read it and be like, "Huh?"

Anyways...walking into work at 7AM this morning, I wanted nothing else but to go back home and go to bed. Getting up that early sucks, but at least I'm out of there by 3.

My parents got home early on Friday. They were going to make some stops on their way down but once they got on the road, they decided to keep going. I could tell they were glad to be back. They had a great time though. Dad was beside himself telling me about the race shops he went through and the people he met. I know he'd love to live and work up there. We can't talk about it in front of Gma because she gets upset. She probably thinks we'll uproot her. Of course we would never do that! I wonder why she thinks we would really do that?! They brought me back a T-shirt from the Biltmore Estate and two keychains. (Just what I need!)

Dad had to go back to work today, and usually he's really crabby, but he's in a good mood. He is bidding on a new route that would give him weekends off. It's all the way in Altamonte Springs, but he said he doesn't care. He has plenty of seniority being there for 14 years so he will probably get it. This is good for him since it will give him two days off in a row. Hopefully he'll get more rest and not be such a crab.

Other than that there's nothing else going on around here. It's still very boring even with my parents back. I need some spice in my life. I hope I can change some of that in the next few months. I'm going to try joining the Y to get exercise. I live so close, I figure I should ride my bike there....I was so proud of myself for thinking of that! I am back on a diet. I'm not going to do the Weight Watchers simply because it's difficult to count points all the time. So I am doing what I call the 1500 diet....I can only eat 1500 calories a day. I am not going to count fat grams...just calories. So far I am doing okay but I am very hungry!

Summer called and invited me out to dinner so I have to wait and see where they are going before I make a decision. At this point you could put almost anything in front of me and I'll eat it. I am thinking I may need to start taking appetite suppressants. I don't understand why I get hungry so soon after lunch. I know sometimes that it's mental, but my stomach is actually growling! Argh!
