What a weekend

I'm getting hits from San Francisco, so I guess I better make it worth it for those checking in for their dose of trickery. ;)

Managing this weekend was a bit irritating. I had a keen eye after walking into a trashed museum on Saturday morning. Everything was pissing me off everywhere I turned. I don't know what kind of trustee meetings or board meetings were there during the week, but they had no idea how to close up after they were done. And it really bothers me when I walk into my Dossin on the weekend and find it not the way I left it on Sunday. Argh! So anyways, work was work, and next weekend is showtime as the Main re-opens after the makeover. It's exciting, and I'm quite looking forward to captaining two buildings again. I'm getting a bit stir-crazy at the helm of just one.

It was my last Saturday getting off at 4:30 too. I went 'home'. I settled in and after dinner watched some Mythbusters (total shout-out to my travelling boyfriend there) before Sparty/Irish football and Tiggies baseball. It was fun watching the 15-4 game take off in the first four innings. Thank goodness for picture-in-picture. It was fun. All I was missing was Hockey Night in Canada and Brian. If I had those two things, it would have been a night made in heaven. So half of that wasn't all that bad.

Worked late at the Dossin on Sunday. I think it would entail some of the sorts of things I would be doing if I am offered more hours. It wasn't horrible. Got to tell the story of the Gothic Room a little bit and promote the upcoming weekend at the museum downtown. Fun, tiring, and after a 9 hour day, I was ready to check out. I've never had to close that museum by myself before; I always have someone else with me. So that aspect was a little freaky, but it was all good. So that was that.

On the way home I checked my voicemail (most of the Dossin is a dead zone) and it was from my cousin. So because she is the one person I have no problem babysitting for, I'm going to test run Monday nights for awhile. Her divorce has been finalized for a few months now, but her ex is being a jerk to her and while she tries to re-gain control of her situation. She has a class on Monday nights and I'm going to help her out with that. And it's just until December. And it's for family. And it will be great to spend more time with Will and Emma. So, for right now, it's all right.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at the museum - lots to do and get organized for. Tuesday is it and the week's activities begin with media day - for most of my Lansing readers that won't mean much, but when I find some stories online, I'll link you to them so you can read what people are saying. Wednesday is members/volunteer opening; Thursday is VIP night, and Friday is showtime. Those coming to ball games this weekend should come a couple hours early and tour the museum. It looks great and it's FREE. That makes everything even better.

Someone found my site through a google search with the following words: "'kirk maltby' edmonton arrest". hahaha. A post from March I wrote after a hockey game popped up. That's interesting.

Think that's all for now. I'm crazy busy this week, might not get another chance to post until Wednesday. Have a good week until then, readers. Bye for now.

p.s. the other half anxiously awaits

I should know what you're talking about, but I'm not sure I do, and that could be because I've been up since 5:15 am.

So anxiously awaiting it is. But I really don't need more anxiety right now, so hopefully this doesn't pertain directly to me. ;) I'll let you worry about that.
