What Say You To That, eh?

This week is a week I have been waiting for for the better part of 2 years. July 7th is the release date of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. My favorite movie of all time and not only is the movie coming out but the big reveal on the ride rehab as can be seen in this funny video with Johnny Depp. I am hoping to round up my Johnny Depp girlfriends to go see the movie together.

For most people this is a big 4-day weekend but for my lousy company it's a standard weekend with a crummy day off on Tuesday and I couldn't get Monday off. So what should have been a nice getaway weekend is now just a plain old weekend. I decided, rather than try to do to much in 2 days, I would focus on cleaning out my closets (the linen closet and my clothes closet are an utter disgrace) and the guest room which has become a storage site of late. The rest of the house is actually in reasonable condition so if I get those pieces done I think I'll actually be in quite good shape.

For all I complain about the non-holiday weekend, I do have Tuesday and a vacation day I took for Thursday. Chad will be here working all next week except for Thursday. No clue what we're going to do except he's ready to cook dinner again for me. I'm going to cook for him as well - I think I've met my great and worthy opponent in the kitchen..Iron Chef Celebration? I know he's better than I am. I can be happy being a sous chef - less stress :-) All is going well with him, still I realize I'm an old maid at the end of the day. I'm just so terribly independent and self-sufficient it's hard to a) let someone take care of me and b) take care of someone else.

Old Maid, Me. Next week: Pirate Me! Arrrgh!
