How I am spending my birthday

John said I could do anything I want to for my birthday. With all the travel I've been doing of late, I told him that I want to get some laundry done and a bit of housecleaning and drink champagne while I'm doing it.

Hiccup.

Actually, John is doing the hard part of the laundry - I'm just sorting the loads and putting the clothes away while watching the first DVD of the first season of CSI (my birthday present!).

Oh, Houdini escaped again today, but I found him before the cops did. Little shit - he was on the block behind us, I walked over there and called, and he came running. I had to carry the little sucker back home because I failed to bring a leash with me.

I also sent John out to purchase a rib roast for dinner- I eat out so much on the road, that eating at home looks pretty damn good to me anymore, even if I do the cooking!

Speaking of being on the road - anyone in New Orleans? I'm heading there tomorrow for the week - I actually had a very difficult time finding a hotel because St. Pat's Day is next week, and there is a big celebration there. I actually have to drive across Lake Ponchartrain to get to the client in Metairie each morning.

That's a long drive!

Let's see - what else - oh, yeah - our dvd player in our bedroom (where I am folding and putting away clothes) has been acting up for some time. It's at least 4 or 5 years old. I looked at some on Amazon.com and found that they have really come down in price tremendously since we bought ours. I ordered a combo VCR/DVD for less than 100 bucks. Geeze, I love technology!

I still have to pack my suitcase to get ready for tomorrow morning's flight, print out itineraries, maps (I do get lost without them) and finish my expense report and status report from last week - oh, and I have to do my time report too, almost forgot! And I have to log onto a couple of client sites to check some errors they are reporting.

It never ends!
