Blarney Repellent

I hurried up to Coeur d'Alene on Friday so I could go to the Irish store and they close at 3:00, not open on Sunday. Luckily, we had an hour break on Saturday. I wanted to smell a couple of perfumes that they have. They sucked. Oh well. I did pick up a candle holder, some Blarney repellent, and a couple of other gifts for Clem and Megan.

The retreat was OK. The Bossman got a little cranky Saturday night but after a few martinis he got better -- or maybe it was after my margaritas? Either way, it was all good. I had a nice peice of cheesecake with huckleberry topping so mission accomplished for me. Unfortunately, I had to go down to Clarkston on Sunday to rent out a place so I had to leave Coeur d'Alene a little earlier than I had originally intended. I guess I can go up to Chili's another time.

It's been a bit hectic at work this week and the fact that I'm still not caught up on sleep isn't helping matters. I can't wait for the weekend. I need to catch up on property management paperwork and sleep. And probably get all of my tax stuff in order that I've received the last piece of documentation.

I finally sent Clem her birthday presents. It took all my might to not tell her that I had shipped them so that she could be surprised when she got home. I was insane with anticipation waiting for the package to get to her and then it was misrouted to Ventura so they had to send it back to the hub to get resorted. Sheesh. So, she got it last night and then her dad made her wait for her mom to get home before she could open it. It.was.killing.me. Just open them and tell me how much you love them. That's all I ask. I should've waited until she could come up here so I could see her open them.
