I always thought it would be nice to take Monday off... but then Tuesday just becomes Monday. It's the exact same thing, a day later, and with more work piled up!
Is it Friday yet???

Back to work... AKA I hate Mondays
It is so hard going back to work after a few days off. Tons of emails clogging up your inbox. Work overflowing your desk.

Shop 'til you Drop!
Well I just had a very tiring weekend! My Mom, sisters & I went on a bus trip down to Erie, Pennsylvania for some shopping! It was so much fun, but very exhausting. It was a rough start when my alarm went off at 4:45am on Friday morning! I really am not a morning person, so it took me a while to wake up and get going.
Quick stop a duty free (picked up some Scotch for my hubby).
Then we headed to Grove City Prime Outlets! What a great mall! We spent 6 hours there.... and although I bought some really great things, my feet really hurt after walking for 6 hours straight! I am not used that that. On Saturday we went to Walmart, Kohl's and then Millcreek Mall. Sunday we swung by the Walden Galleria Mall in Buffalo on the way home.
It truly was a fun weekend with the girls with shopping, drinks, and lots of laughing. :) I'm just glad I took Monday off to catch up on my sleep & give my poor legs a break.
One of my favourite purchases is:

Um... What time is it???
So I know I said I love Daylight Savings time.... but honestly.... It is getting dark SO early now! I finished work at 4:30 and had a workout right afterwards, and the sun was already practically non-existent!!!!
This is ridonkculous!!! I guess it really means that the winter is on its way. Dark when I go to work, Dark when I come home from work. This is not a good trend!

Mid-week dinners
Rainer and I are pretty busy sometimes. His hours are all over the place, and I have been working quite a bit of overtime lately. By the time I get home I am often very tired & mentally drained. Normally I do try and make healthy dinners with some green veggies and lots of protein....
But sometimes, I just can't. Sometimes I just have to throw something in the oven and not think about whether its good or bad for me. Exhibit A - tonight was leftover Lasagna. It was delicious! Even a day later it was great.
Leftovers are highly underrated. There is definitely a time limit on them though. You cannot just eat them after weeks of being in the fridge. I always try and eat leftovers the next day or, at the latest, on the second day. Leftovers make a very convenient, cheap lunch! Can't complain about that!

Extra Experience!
So the theatre close to our house just opened up last weekend. Friday we the first night they opened. Rainer & I decided to go & check it out on Saturday evening. We are thrilled that it is only a 1 minute driver from our place - yes we probably could have walked , but it was chilly!!!
It was pretty funny - not as hilarious as we thought, but still entertaining. But that's not the highlight. The cool thing about our evening is the ticket guy was like "Would you like the extra experience?" and we were like "Whaa?" The guy explained everything to use with the bigger screen & customized sound and all that jazz.
So we paid out extra $2 & got to reserve our seats in the big theatre with LEATHER seats. Very comfortable. They do rock, which frankly I'm not a fan of. But it was so comfortable & relaxing know that we did not have to get there really early just to make sure we had a good seat. We will definitely be trying that again - especially for the blockbusters that are going to be crowded.
I tried to take a picture of Rainer in our leather seats on my cell.. but it didn't really turn out very well with the funky lighting. Honestly it kinda looks like he has bangs. For the record he does not have bangs - that is just the shadow. :)
Anyway, we got there (it is VERY cool with uber comfy sofas everywhere) & decided we were going to see Due Date - the new comedy with Robert Downey Jr. Looks funny, and along the same lines as The Hangover (which we both enjoyed)

Daylight Savings Time
Officially my favourite day of the year. Who says there isn't more than 24 hours in a day? I DO!! Today there was 25 hours - and I LOVED it! I slept in a bit, but by the time I got up, I still had the entire day to do all my chores. 3 loads of laundry, raked the yard, made dinner & dessert, & watched 2 movies.... and it is still not even 8:30pm yet! What else can I do?!
I LOVE daylight savings.... Well I love it in the fall when the clocks get turned back an hour. I probably will not be as chipper in the spring when we lose an hour. Then my day goes to 23 hours, and I will not get anything done. But that is not for months, so no need to worry yet! I'm going to enjoy some brownies!
