Swamped!

I know I've been silent this week.  Not because I don't want to blog but because I have been swamped!  I haven't filled you lovelies in on the recent happenings in my world.  Someone at my company (at a different location but that I interacted with on a daily basis via phone and email) was let go a few weeks ago.  That person's job then fell to me.  Keep in mind that this job is one that kept him busy pretty much 8 hours per day.  I already have multiple titles and do the jobs of about 10 people, which pretty much kept me busy.  But now I do the job of one more person and there really aren't enough hours in the workday to complete these jobs.  It stinks.  I'm on my feet all day, going between my office, my lab, and the additional space I am now in charge of.

Needless to say, I have been crashing when I get home in the evenings.  I haven't had any energy to do anything at all.  I wish I had the energy to do my Zumba workouts or at the very least, my exercise ball workouts, but I have been falling into bed the moment I walk in the door.  Unfortunately, I haven't been getting much accomplished at home at all. :(

I do have a few pictures to share though!  We went to the beach this past weekend and it was amazing!  The weather was in the mid-80s, sunny, with a nice breeze.  It was glorious on the beach.

Bentley chilling on the beach blanket.

Dolphins!  It doesn't matter how many times we see them, it NEVER gets old.

Here's a close-up!  There were actually around 6 or 7 that we counted but this was the best picture I got.

Lexus loving on Daddy.

My love.  If you look closely, you can see me in the reflection of his shades.  Just don't look too closely!  My body is so NOT beach ready.
It was so funny.  After we got settled and had been relaxing for about 15 or 30 minutes, Bentley started grumbling.  I could tell he wasn't "fussing" but he was definitely "talking".  I looked around and he was staring at this woman behind us.  I walked him over to a nearby "pool" and back hoping he would stop but once he settled back down, he kept right at it.  Being that he is my social butterfly, I had a feeling he wanted to go meet her.  So, I took him back and told the woman that.  She was super sweet and loved on him.  After that, he was totally satisfied.  He led me over to another lady sitting nearby who was more than happy to give him some attention.  And, when we got back to our blanket, he settled right down and stopped "talking"!

My sweet boy again.  He was really enjoying the sun.

Love this one of my sweet pea!
 When we started packing stuff up to head home for a shower, I heard a couple of ladies beside us talking.  I heard one of them say, "Look at that little dog!  I bet he's only about 2 pounds."  Immediately my mind went to our friends Melissa and William and their little 2.5lb Chihuahua Rigby.  I looked toward the water and guess who it was?
I can't believe this amazing shot of  Rigby that I got!
The Munchkins were so excited to see him and he was squeaking he was so excited to see them.  We got to love on Rigby for a while before we finished packing up our stuff and headed back home.

We went to our favorite theather, Cinebarre, for dinner and a movie.  We saw The Lincoln Lawyer, hubby's choice.  It was pretty good.  I didn't feel like it was a waste of my $9 (I got 2 tickets through a Living Social or Groupon deal...can't remember which).  And of course, I never mind a little bit of the eye candy that is Matthew Mcconaughey (although something weird was up with his hair in this movie).

I love that you take the Munchkins to the beach, and that they are so social :) Louis is very social as well, but I fear that he wouldn't sit still for a minute at the beach.

Hmmm..perhaps I should test that out this summer?

That picture of Rigby is awesome!
