It's been a busy couple days at work, so I haven't been as bored... or crabby. My boss got back from her vacation today. I managed not to screw anything up on Monday, so that's a good deal. Actually, I think I did a pretty good job while in charge. I really didn't screw up anything major, and got a lot of stuff done that she didn't expect me to. I like to exceed expectations... it's a good feeling.
I did get my evening at home on Saturday night (although I didn't make it into the bath tub). I actually had a great time. TMC is currently playing pretty much ever been nominated for a oscar, and Bonnie and Clyde was on. I'd never seen it all the way through, but my mother always talked about it. She saw it in the theater when it came out, and always talked about how at that time they had never really shown violence in a movie like that before, and how it left her stunned. For me Bonnie and Clyde was awesome! I loved it! In fact the movie may have spawned a little mini obsession. I spent all of Sunday morning reading all about Bonnie and Clyde on the internet. Here is real life Bonnie Parker posing with her pistol and cigar (they recreated this pic in the movie... it was pretty cool).
**It drives me crazy that I can't get text to wrap around pictures on this site! If someone can tell me how to do it, you will forever be my hero! **
Anyway. Bonnie and Clyde was a great fricking movie. It left me a little stunned, although not so much for the violence of it (even though there was a scene that even made Eric yell "He shot him in the face!"). I just found the ending so upsetting. How they were just ambushed and gunned down. They were given no warning at all. The cops just opened fire and unloaded on them. It hit me hard, and really left me saying what my mother had always said. "That was awful." Really, if you've never seen it. Take the time, it was really good.
Sunday of course was the Super Bowl. I made a fun new recipe (don't forget to check it out on my other blog Hungry in Omaha ), and it was a total hit. I don't want to say it was the best thing there, but it was the first thing to disappear... and it disappeared fast! We went to Kelly and Todd's house and had a lot of fun. They have 2 living rooms, so there was kind of a girls room and a boys room. So I think everyone had a pretty good time. :)
Got a little bit of good news. Yesterday, Eric got called for a job. So he started working today. The job may only last a couple weeks, but it'll still help out a lot. Money has been SO tight lately, and his couple weeks of work will be quite a bit more income than his unemployment. Plus, since his insurance ran out last month, every hour he works goes toward getting insurance back... which we REALLY need, because we just can't afford it through my work. Yeah, financially things have been pretty shitty in our house hold the last few months. Hopefully things will start to look up soon.
Well, I better get myself to bed. Tomorrow my work is having a "Spa Day". It's really not a day. It's just a couple hours, but I get paid to not work and get a short massage on the company buck. :)
