It's May long weekend and in honor of such I thought it was about time for a little spring cleaning. Also spring is supposed to be about flowers and such so I changed the blog background. I can't believe how much cool free stuff is out there. I borrowed this one from the Blogger Templates site.
I actually really like this one and might have to take a look at it the next time I feel up for a change.

The Shopping Spree
Normally I'm not a very fun shopper. I'm a get in, get out girl. I hate browsing. But every once in a while I have to remind myself why I force myself to go to work everyday. Sure I just bought a laptop, and yes I'm planning a trip to Scotland next summer but in the meantime it can't be all work and no play.
So today as the beginning of a long weekend of me watching tennis I decided to treat myself a little. I tried on a lot of clothes and only came out with a little and a couple of pairs of shoes. Did I need any of this stuff? Absolutely not. Did it get me out of the apartment for a while that wasn't going to work? Yes.
I didn't actually spend that much money. I know some girls who own purses that cost more than what I spent, but for me it's a big deal because it was really on a whim. I had no intention of going shopping tonight but I looked at my clock at around 6 and said "holy crap it's only 6, I need to do something". And a shopping spree was born. Oh I also had a little excursion when I missed my turnoff and got a little lost. But even that was relaxing.

Easter Weekend Review
So one would think that I would enjoy having a long weekend. One would be wrong.
As much as I dislike being at work I find that my weekends are almost too long. Sure I don't want to go to work on Monday but for me the alternative is probably sitting at home either on my computer or on my couch watching TV. Don't get me wrong these are both wonderful past times and I have taken over the world numerous times on Civ 4, but you really can't do either for more than 2 days and even that seems too long. My point is really that I didn't quite know what to do with myself for 3 whole days. So I made my way out to the farm after the near heart attack during the final minutes of the Duke/Belmont game.
First of all I should NOT be allowed to drive at night without my glasses. I can't see very well at long distances and the lights of on coming cars are not pleasant on the eyes. Nothing exciting happened Thursday night it was about 10:30 by the time I got home and I wanted nothing more than to sleep.
Friday I pretty much sat around and watched Basketball. Good times. Yes I probably should have been working on my accounting course but really it's a long weekend so I'll excuse myself. That night the whole family went to visit my grandma. You know she's lonely when she offers to make you a pizza just so that you'll stay a little longer. Poor grandma.
Saturday morning my brother and I helped Dad cut wood. Not a big deal except that it was more physical labour than I've done... well ever really. My arms are still killing me today and I think I messed up my shoulder pretty bad because my whole right arm is a dull ache right now. This was all followed by more watching of college basketball followed by taking my Mom out for dinner for her birthday. Oh I also helped name cattle for registration purposes.
Sunday I watched a little bit of basketball and then played computer games until it was time to head to OB2's for Easter Dinner. It wasn't your typical Easter dinner. We had BBQ'd ribs and chicken, followed by some more college basketball and OB2 and I complaining about all the stupid bracket picks we made. Freaking Drake. The real excitement came when the little brother and I went back to my apartment so that he could grab some stuff he had left there. He drove and then forgot to give me back my car keys. So now my keys are at the farm but my car is in the parking lot behind my building. It's gonna be an interesting week.

NCAA Pool Round 1: Clemson vs Villanova
It's been a long week at work even though technically it's been a short week. Also it's a long weekend and I'm kind of sick of this so I'm not putting much effort in. Again this always seems like a good idea at the time and then about 15 teams in I get sick of it. Next time I'm doing the Sweet 16 on. Remind me!
Final Score: 3-0 Clemson
Final Score: 3-0 Clemson

Countdown until Quebec
I don't know if you missed it but I'm going to Quebec tomorrow. I'm taking 3 days off of work and spending my long weekend out east. So I'll be in Quebec a grand total of well almost 6 days. We'll be in Montreal at 1:30et. There is some definite squee-ing at this point.
On the down side I'll be gone over the weekend so that means I'll miss football on Sunday. That means no Colts game, no Saints game, and no Giants game. Not that I watch the Giants games anyway. I tend to switch back and forth.

My Long weekend
So I went out to the farm for the long weekend, but I didn't do a whole lot of farm-y stuff. I went out to look at the first calf heifers, my calf looks really good. We also vaccinated calves yesterday, big fun there.
Other than that I watched alot of T.V. there was a hockey game to watch. The Senators won and all was well. I also watched a little bit of tennis, but Rafael Nadal wasn't playing very well and I couldn't watch the whole thing. You can read about it here .
Anyway that was basically the extent of my long weekend. Well except fighting with my brother and fighting with my mom, but that's just what happens when I go home.
