OOPS!

OK, OK, so I haven't been posting. Bad Catherine!

Things have been ho hum kind of dull here, but given my large span of time for which I wasn't blogging, I have a tad more information to share than usual! This past weekend my sister and I took our parents out for an overnight on the town in celebration of their 26th wedding anniversary. We reserved a one night stay at a four star hotel for 2 and got family reservations at a fancy restaurant and everything. When we arrived at the hotel to check in, the hostess said, "Oops, we don't have any more available rooms in the same style that you reserved." All I could think was "oh crud, now what?" But after speaking with her manager she said that she was sorry for the inconvenience and that they were going to give my parents a 2-story loft room instead. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A ROOM 3 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE ONE MY SISTER AND I HAD BOOKED!

Needless to say, that went over quite well! On a more unfortunate note, I was scheduled to be in NYC for my boyfriend's birthday this upcoming Monday, but he was hired to work longer in Florida. So no NYC trip for me this summer! Although that was kind of disappointing, i had far too much fun packing his birthday presents in a box for UPS to deliver lovingly on the weekend before his actual birthday. I am really going to make him work for his gifts. It's a box, within a box, within a box. Each layer is surrounded by streamers, confetti, and little "on this day in history" messages. I really wish I could see his face when he's unwrapping it all! hopefully that will bring a bit of a party to him since he's so far away from his friends.

Yesterday I had a bit of an adventure. I had the day off of work, and almost no gas in my tank. But, I needed to drop off the wonderful birthday package at the UPS store. It's not too far from my house so I decided to walk. Upon my arrival home, I google mapped the walk I had taken. It turns out that I walked 8 miles roundtrip. I think that's pretty cool.

Other than that, nothing to report except that there are only 30 days until college move in day, and 2 paychecks left to receive!
