I've Never Been So Happy To See Saturday

The past 2 days at work have been absolute torture. My work flew in a lady (that's putting it lightly) from Philidelphia to train me on a new program that I will be working with. You see, my work wants me to start developing some designs to go on clothing that are embellished with rhinestones and rhinestuds. Of course, that means...new program, must train.

Thursday I was told that I had to pick her up at the airport. Now that was a stressful event for me. Airports intimidate me. So I had to get there ass early so I could park and find where I needed to pick her up . Once I managed that, I was able to relax and sit down with my Starbucks and Great American Bagel. Of course, picking someone up at the airport that you've never seen (but you've heard alot about) was an issue for me as well. I did make a sign with her name on it...but once I was at the airport, I had stage fright and didn't want to pull it out of my purse.

She did stand out with her big ass fur coat though.

She was loud. Obnoxious. And possessed no social etiquette skills at all. The stuff she showed me on this "new" program, I already knew. Other than her colorful stories about being the rhinestone "go-to" girl for all of the rappers....really, her being at my work was a waste of everyone's time.

I couldn't drive FAST enough to the airport last night....and really was like, ok see ya later....got in my car and drove off before she even reached the baggage check man.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I get alone with just about everyone....so you know it must have been bad when I say that I have finally met the one person who can get under my skin and truely annoy the hell out of me.

Special People Are Everywhere....(never let them go once you've found one!)

I've been inspired to write this because of something else I've read.

I am the kind of person who is a "what you see is what you get" kind of gal. I am complex, yet simple at the same time. And when you come across someone who is just the same...you want to treasure the time you have together. The time you spend together is everything but ordinary. Like bread and butter. You can't have one without the other.  Something amazing comes out of hanging out together...a friendship. And when they go away, you miss them terribly. Time goes by that you don't hear from them, but you know that they are living their dream. Experiencing the world. Loving every experience. Learning from the trials and becoming a better person because of those very trials.

I know this because that's what I would do. Because we are the same. Like sisters (from another mister)

And when they are in your life again, you are glowing. I am so proud of my friend. This friend I treasure. This friend I have seen grow into an amazing lady. A soon to be mom. No, she already is a mom. An AMAZING mom. I haven't seen her in years, but I feel her standing right next to me....and I love her just as much if not more.

SLSC - this one is for you. I treasure you. For the rest of my years.

Don't Mind A Little Drip Drop...Cause of my new Lid!

Welcome to work. Today you will be greeted with a leaking ceiling. It's a good thing I'm wearing my cute cute hat that I bought at Target last night!! When I saw it last night, it called out my name and said, "You must wear me tomorrow."

It goes perfect with the cute earrings that were on sale too!

(which I couldn't find a picture of, but they are brushed silver dangly ones)

Lunch With Dad

There's nothing better than having lunch with your dad. And that's just what I did today. My dad has been and always will be my best friend. I love him so much. He knows me truely and loves me dearly. He knows exactly what to say when I am having a bad day to turn it all around and make the day great.

Thanks Dad for a great lunch!!

I Won Something, And I Never Win Anything

The best thing about working for a company that has a customer service department that makes HORRIBLE communal coffee is the coffee vendors that come in wanting our business. This is the 2nd day of delicious coffee. (Ronnocco yesterday, Aramark today) AND I won a box of chocolates today for voting for my favorite blend yesterday. Apparently, things have gotten so bad that we will eventually have an account with one of these vendors. TASTE TESTING IS THE BEST! I am awake. I am ready for the day. (it is going to be 70 degrees too).

Ok, maybe I have had a little too much.

But our servers are still f*cked up but I'm making the day better with coffee!

Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm rooting for Starbucks tomorrow.

Mondays Can Kiss My A**

I was actually looking forward to being at work today for a number of reasons (donuts in the break room was one of them), but that has now been crushed because our servers are F*'ed up. There's just nothing like my rainbow spinning icon EVERY time I try and access a file. Of course, this morning is when those files and their changes need to get to the boss lady ASAP.

Highly irritated.

It's A Gump Day.

I feel like throwing rocks.

And sometimes, in life....

there's just not enough rocks.

I've Shocked Myself

My son is REALLY into WWE ....kinda like how I am with Sex and the City, so when I took him I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did. I left work a little early and picked him up. I thought we would have time to grab dinner, but we didn't. We pulled into the parking garage and there was already a CROWD of people waiting to go in. Once we got in, we hit the bathroom (because my bladder seems to be the size of a pea now that I turned 33) and then we were off to the concession stand. A t-shirt was purchase for an inflated cost, but B was excited. We got to our seats and I then went to grab us something to eat and drink.....

Parking: $15.00

2 Pretzels, 1 soda: $16.50

1 glass of wine: $9.00

Asking a skeevy stranger for 50 cents because 

you held $8.50 in your hand: PRICELESS

The night was quite full of entertaining half naked hot wrestlers, kickin' music and pyrotechnics. I loved watching my son scream out for his favorite wrestlers, flashing their hand signs (cause all have different ones), and waving his sign that he made. We have a special bond, he and I, and now I can relate to him when he talks about WWE at the dinner table.
