86 - gone, out of stock, zilch

If you are in the restaurant industry 86 is a number that you know well, and then it has carried over into American slang.  If you type in 86 in Wikipedia, you will see the information below:

"According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, "86" is a slang term that is used in the American popular culture as a transitive verb to mean throw out or get rid of, particularly in the food service industry as a term to describe an item no longer available on the menu, or to refuse service to a customer.[1]
Today, the term "86", and especially its past tense, "86'd" is widely used in American culture and beyond."

I fell asleep with my baby, thought it might be for the night, got cold, decided to have some tea, started helping my husband with some computer stuff, and BOOM! My brain alerted me we did not have a blog release today :)

What a fabulous day, so this morning I treated my mom to our favorite Korean Spa, and you get locker numbers, mine was 91, and she thought hers was 86, it did not fit. Then we flipped it around and realized it was 98, lol.

Got a great deal, it was 15% off day, got a scrub and massage for the price of one, and had exactly 20 minutes to get to my next destination, this is how it went:

12:40pm Done with massage, get dressed
12:45pm Done getting dressed, power walking to car
12:50pm Driving home to drop my mom off
12:55pm Dropped her off, made it to work on time 1pm

My mom hung with the baby, my husband ran errands, and I worked at my children's school for a few hours, it was great to see everyone again, I really love my life, my community, and everything I do.  I never used to be an office person, the thought of sitting at a desk nauseated me.  Now, however, it is a pleasure to have my kids busy in class, they wave and go back to having fun, they love school.  I love to interact with the teachers, and I am actually really good at office stuff, so they appreciate my skills, and knack for getting things done. 

After school ended drove the kids home, hung out a bit, had friends over for dinner, ran to teach a Pilates class, got home, passed out with the baby.  I think he doesn't want to go to sleep anymore because last thing we did before we left for 5 days was put him down for a nap.  He probably says, "I'm not falling for this!"  He is the best, he seems to have grown so much since I last saw him, yummiest baby ever :)

So now I had my tea, wrote the blog, and am going to have a Hollywood kind of day tomorrow, will explain in full detail in the blog, stay tuned.

This was a White themed party on the ship, and we had dinner with some good friends, I did not feel guilty, enjoyed every minute, loved getting dressed up again, had a ball, my husband was relaxed and had fun, we deserved it!
