Friday=donuts?

Every Friday since I started at my current job over 6 years ago, there are donuts that appear in my office. I have mixed feelings about this tradition. Yes, I like eating the donuts, but on the other hand, they sure aren't doing my diet any good. We tried unsuccessfully a couple of times to get them to add a healthy option (i.e. fruit) but the only thing that has made an infrequent appearance are bagels. For those of you who don't know, bagels actually have MORE calories than a donut, just less sugar. Go figure. Anyway, I will have to go see what is left after getting into work later than usual (I had a meeting).

Last night we decided to make a run to Kohl's after dinner to find a new pair of pants for Scott. Caleb decided that he wanted to wear his "backpack" into the store which I was thankful for. His backpack is actually a stuffed puppy harness that has a "tail" that Mommy can hang onto. In essence, it is a leash. I never understood why parents would do this to a child, but then I had a 2 year-old. A 2 year-old who likes to run and hide amongst the clothing racks at the store and scare the crap out of Mommy but not coming when called. NOW I understand why people put toddlers on leashes. So, we are walking around the store, which is nearly empty, getting many dirty looks from people who used to be just like me. And very knowing looks from the people who have actually been there. Caleb pulled me from one end of the store to the other, but at least I knew right where he was.

Plans are moving along for the party this weekend. Tonight will be cleaning the upstairs. The ENTIRE upstairs, including our closet and master bedroom. *shudder* We can do this....it's just not going to be pretty. I have 4 separate lists that I have been diligently creating so we can keep everything together, including my sanity. I don't want my entire weekend to focus on this one event though. I AM going to be doing some geocaching. We only have 12 more to go before we hit 400 and I have done a cache in over a month. There is valuable weather wasting away that I need to take advantage of!

Mom and Dad are still in Oregon (maybe) but are headed south into northern California today. Then they are planning on taking several days to drive back north to Washington along the Pacific coast. I am so jealous! I just hope they take lots of pictures and really enjoy it. How could you not have fun driving that little Mini in that kind of country? Gorgeous!

Off to finish some work and then run out of here early today. It is an absolutely perfect weather day out there and as soon as everyone else is gone, I am outta here!
