Happy Anniversary to me

Spoiler alert: No pictures or good stories on this post. I'm back to being totally boring. I feared that my life would be so boring that I could not substantiate a blog and my fears have come true. Here goes. On Sunday, I celebrated my five year anniversary with my company. They're actually pretty nice for anniversaries. You go to this website and get to choose from several gifts. The code I have to enter to access the website is "2058" which is funny, because sometimes I feel like that's the year I'll probably retire. It's their subliminal way of remind me that they own me. Anyway, I really don't want anything that's on the website, but it's still a nice gesture. There's a few rings to choose from, several watches, a Lladro polar bear, and a karaoke machine. I may get that since it doubles as a DVD player which we could use in the master bedroom. Because what marriage couldn't benefit from a karaoke machine in the bedroom? Next time I get mad at Lee, I can just stand at the end of the bed and belt out a little Alanis Morissette instead of having an ugly confrontation.

Weekends have been relatively uneventful since Texas has decided that this summer's climate will be similar to that of the sun. Holy Moses it is hot. We haven't even been able to enjoy our new outdoor furniture and all of our plants are dying. I did some lap swimming at the SMU pool this weekend but the water was even hot. The weather guys are saying it's going to stay like this for at least another week. I can't wait until fall. In an effort to beat the heat, we went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I guess I didn't realize that this was a sequel - I thought it was just another pirate movie. So I was a little lost because they just throw you right into the second movie. FYI if you're thinking about seeing it.

I did a fun thing Monday night with three of my co-workers. We went to Origins for a complimentary "Girl's Night Out" and had facials, hand treatments and makeovers. I love Origins. And they ladies in the store love me because they hug me when I leave. I like to think that it's because I have a winning personality and not because I buy enough beauty products to keep a small village in Africa looking fabulous for a year. Dr. Andrew Weil has created a new line of products for Origins and it's awesome. My face feels like a baby's ass right now. If you've never tried Origins, I highly suggest you start with this product. I tried to eat this when nobody was looking. I should work there. But if I worked at Origins, I wouldn't be getting my completely awesome karaoke machine for the bedroom.

Lee and I are back on the Weight Watchers hard core. I plumped up a little during the test taking, but it's coming off. We didn't eat out last weekend and we're going to try to stay in this weekend too. It's so hard to bring myself to turn on the oven when it's 115 outside. It heats up the kitchen so much. We've started going back to the church where we got married because we like it better than the church that's close to our new house. That means I get to go back to my old grocery store that I like so much. I can get my shopping done there in about 10 minutes since I've memorized the aisles and can write my list in that order. I've got mad skilz. Please don't start rolling your eyes - I told you at the very beginning of this post that my life is like watching paint dry. This past weekend, the seasonal aisle (Aisle 14) was filled with school supplies. I almost wish I was back in second grade so I could get new crayons, a new backpack, pencil box, lunchbox, and Trapper Keeper. I always started off the year so organized and then just fell apart as the year went progressed. Such is life now.

We'll see what the next week holds... I know you're on the edge of your seats.
