Well we were going to a dinner tonight for Duane's work, but he doesn't feel like going. The last time we went the food was good, but it was BORING. They do not have alcohol there as a policy (due to an accident after one of these parties that involved alcohol). I understand the policy, but it makes the dinner even more boring.
Tomorrow is a Home Buyer's Fair that I will be attending. It has classes and exhibitors, hopefully it won't be too boring. We may be having dinner with a friend.
Sunday I have an open house, although only from 1-3. Hopefully that won't be a waste of time (although I get paid $30, so it is never a complete waste of time)
It is also supposed to rain all weekend. I would like to see said friend's la crosse games (never having seen one before), but I doubt I will if it is raining all weekend.
I am also reminding Duane that he could invite me out to lunch once in awhile (oh and maybe do the dishes too).
A Duane funnyism: Him- "Have you noticed a funny smell over here? (indicating area right by the garbage can) I think it may be coming from the vent." Me- "Try taking out the garbage" Him- "Oh, yeah"

Business
I have been keeping busy. I visited with my friends last night that want to sell their house, and we got the paperwork all filled out.
Someone from Duane's work called me about buying a house and it seems she is really interested in buying the house that another friend is thinking about selling. It could all work out really well!
Another agent at the office (one that has been in the business for awhile) wants to meet and talk about me covering some of her appointments. It would work on a referral basis, but could also mean more business for me!
I took the day off today, but I don't have any energy! The weather is beautiful out and I want to work on yard stuff. No energy + hating to work on the yard = not getting much done. I have gotten a little bit done, but it is more fun with Duane (even if he complains 99.9% of the time).
I am going to try some spring cleaning. I have given a lot of clothes to Goodwill, but each year it seems like there is more to give. I don't feel like we have as much stuff as some people accumulate, but it still feels like too much!
We are going to NC in T minus 23 days. I am going to plan to do something fun to make me look forward to it.

Baby making
Cate and Conor over at Distraction are having a baby!

Congratulations!!

I am not a big fan of
Fresca with peach. I thought I would give it a try and it has a too fakey peach flavor.
Diet Berries and Cream Dr Pepper is tasty. I just wish it was available in a case, so I wasn't paying $1 more than if I bought a case of regular.
I should just drink water.

Weekend
So Friday night I went to see Lucky Number Slevin while Duane played poker. The movie was good and not at all what I expected. Duane didn't lose any money playing poker but he didn't win megabucks either.
I didn't get any work done outside on Saturday. Duane got a new fan though!
My open house was dead on Sunday (what is up with that?). Duane got the lawn mowed though. We went to see Inside Man, which was good but also not what I expected.
I have all these fabulous ideas for posts when I am laying bed or driving. I wish I could beam them right to the computer.
I do have a myspace page now. Duane's sister has one and got us signed up.

Gotta get on that
Survivor was ok. One of the people had to leave because he was all backed up. I understand how your colon can get backed up, but your bladder? So no one got voted off and if he is healthy enough he will be on the jury.
Smallville was good. Supernatural was pretty cool. I am kind of wondering what they will do next season. It seems they are wrapping up two of the major plotlines in the final two episodes, or maybe it only seems that way?
No tv tonight (repeat of Ghost Whisperer and Las Vegas is not on). Duane is going to play poker with work people.
I wanted to work outside all day tomorrow, but now I have to do a little work. I need my buyers to sign something and of course they can't do it tonight!
Sunday is supposed to be great weather but I have an open house! Hopefully I will get tons of leads and make it worthwhile.
I have some pictures I should post sometime soon. Gotta get on that.

Thursday
I am in the office today until 4:30. I have my inspection today and hopefully it won't take 3 hours. It is of course nice out today (rain was predicted). Weeds are starting to appear so I need to get on my landscaping projects. Interior design I love, landscaping design not so much.
I have signed up to take some golfing lessons through the city of Sun Prairie. I am excited!
Alias was pretty good last night, some witty dialogue here and there. Invasion is getting creepier! Bones was good as usual (David Boreanaz is such a cutie!)
Survivor, Smallville, and Supernatural tonight. Think I watch too much tv?

Duane needs to sell some houses
There are people at Duane's work that want to buy houses.
I cannot be at Duane's work every day convincing people to buy houses.
Anyone have any suggestions for Duane? :)

Monday of last week
Monday was the day Duane came home!
Tuesday: Duane took a sick day and I didn't do much. Our friends had their baby!
Wednesday: I did some showings and saw the new baby.
Thursday and Friday I cleaned the house and got ready for Conor to visit.
Friday: Duane and I caught up on watching tv and Conor came! I got to order a fun pizza (instead of pepperoni or sausage).
Saturday: We went to State St and walked up to campus. I tried to interest Conor in the neat shops on State St, but he wasn't too enthused (he also isn't a girl). We walked up to campus and then over to the Union.
Saturday night: We went to the Silver Joos show. Why? opened for them and were quite interesting. Duane and I bought one of their CDs. I haven't been to a show in awhile, so I didn't remember the standing for 3 hours part. My feet were not happy with me.
Sunday: We had breakfast and sent Conor on his way. Little did we know that he was driving through terrible weather! We went to Easter/Twin's birthday. It was good but exhausting per usual. We watched Fun with Dick and Jane at my mom and dad's house (we did not pick this out). It was Ok.

Catching up
Ok, last Sunday I went to Chicago for brunch and shopping.
Brunch was really good. We ate at a place called Hot Chocolate. I had a blue cheese, ramps (green things often seen on Iron Chef America), and bacon. It was awesome.
We went to many shops, most very expensive (well it is Wicker Park after all). We saw some beautiful clothes!
Sprout Home is an awesome gardening store mentioned frequently on Design*Sponge. I bought these for my niece and nephew.
