My status recently changed from an 'Hourly' employee to 'Salaried'. So no matter how much I work, same pay. Or how little I work- it really works both ways.

But for some reason I always feel like I have to stay at work at least 8 hours a day. And when I get to work after my assistant, I feel like I really need to stay at least until she goes home.

It's 5:18pm and I am ready to go. But she's not. So I write in my Blog.

There are many benefits to having a park in your backyard. My sweetie and I are in week 2 of daily bike rides. It's also great for playing on the playground, kites, picnics, etc. One great thing about this particular park is the science center associated with it.

We took the kids to the science center for the second time this weekend. There was a great bird exhibit this weekend. They had guest speakers with guest birds. And on top of all we learned from them, there were at least 10 different hands-on activities for the kids to learn even more about birds and their habitats. It's really nice to have these programs like these available.

I've definitely moved into the busy season at work. My blog update-time is getting smaller and smaller. Today has been angry customer day. Don't these people understand that I would love to hand out $10,000 if I had the ability to do so? Take a number folks!

We met our new wedding contact at the ranch. We are now just hoping that she can handle the food. Much more may be too much. We also got the marriage license yesterday. I wondered if the employees in the Marriage License office ever wonder which 50% of the couples will make it. I'd make it a contest if I worked there.

The lady who I have been in contact with for my wedding at the Ranch has quit. She was in charge of the whole shibang.

Oh freaking joy.

31 Days

The pressure is starting to set in. 31 days to go. Still have to get a ring, tuxedos, order linens and chairs, buy alcohol. Just to name a few things. I sit at work and run through this list on a daily basis knowing I can't do any of it while sitting here at my desk.

We went to a friend's wedding this past weekend. It was held at Cross Timbers Winery in Grapevine. The weather was beautiful and the cabernet was delicious. I had so much fun, I spent half the day in bed on Sunday. Of course, my other half drank just as much but enjoyed the day playing with the tiller in the yard. We now have a yard full of dirt. Hopefully, irrigation and grass will be installed before we leave for Mexico!
