Feeling work guilt this weekend. Yes, I stayed until 6:30 Friday even though everyone else left at 3. But the work I brought home (that should have been done Friday) is still sitting in my bag and I have absolutely zero motivation to get it done. During the week, I am still productive. But when the weekends come I am so exhausted I can’t stand the thought of pulling my work laptop out or even checking email. This is new – used to check regularly. The problem with this weekend in particular is that the week ahead is filled with early morning meetings. Big Boss is in town and I have a TON on my plate. So if I don’t get this project started/completed today, I will be even more conspicuously late with it next week. Argh… Guess I’d better get started… sometime. Zzzzz…
On the plus side, Mr. V, Pumpkinhead and I had an awesome weekend. Spent Saturday scrubbing the house to prepare for a July 4 pool party. Weather cleared up Sunday and our party was wonderful. Good friends, good times and we got some great pictures. Fortunately all the mess was cleaned up last night so now I’m just completely beat and, except for the aforementioned work project, have nothing to do but put my feet up today!
Oh, and the graphic designer who is doing my wedding invitations emailed to say they are all printed. Envelopes go to press next week and then we’ll get them to start labeling and mailing. So psyched! She’s also invited me over today to borrow her books so I can start looking at wedding programs, placecards, table tents, etc. Weeee!!! And she’s coming up with something cute for baby announcements also. She does such beautiful work that I’m delighted to see what else she develops for us. 
P.S. This is the same talented lady that delivered the most romantic present ever from Mr. V early on in our relationship.

I made the mistake of checking email last night. The female director of one of the three groups where I worked had sent me several emails with tasks/questions. And because my company is a global company, the number of Monday emails was typically insane. This week, especially today, is NOT looking good. Hope you and I both have smoother work weeks than we anticipate!

Dude, I think you and I might work in the same office. Totally feeling your pain – and worst of all, it wasn’t just a weekend, but a holiday weekend. One (being me) should not wake up to 50+ emails on any weekend morning, much less a holiday. Tomorrow is going to SUCK.
