The Price is Right

My goal for the Month: Whenever someone compliments me on something I am wearing...I am NOT to reveal how much money I did not pay for it!!!!!

I have such a bad habit when someone says, "Hey...I love that shirt." I automatically respond with...."I paid $3.95 for it!"

Wrong....need to be a bit more tactful....

Curvy Size 2

I find hilarious when I am cruising the "sale," section of Gap.com and they list their curvy pants on promotion and the only sizes they have left are 2's and 4's....
Really....really...really? What size 2 or 4 do you know Gap.com that would say they are curvy?

Print Please

Is it sad that I have a bunch of medical forms to fill out and I am excited?

I love to fill out forms...I love to print...now I just need to find the PERFECT pen to write on my forms with...because I will have to use the same pen on every single form...Yeah...there are that many forms...

Kodak Moment....

Dude....I just saw a girl in our cafe at work with a sheer black shirt on with a black bra only underneath. She had a short black skirt on w/ stacked black gladiator heels on...

I figure she must have a man as a boss, otherwise a female boss would have sent her home by lunchtime....

All the same, I wish I would have had my camera to capture it, cause no one will believe me...Drats!

Nervous Nellie

I find it amazing in the movies or TV when people get bad news or are nervous in general, they throw up. But in my case, when I get nervous...I get horrible gas....This just does not seem fair...or the least bit sexy...not that throwing up is...but on a sliding scale, I think it's sexier than flatulence.


I am just saying.....

I'm full, thank you!

Why is it that when you feel your plate is completely full, sometimes God dumps mashed potatoes on it as well?

And I don't even like mashed potatoes!!!!!

Glass of water please....

Why is it that executives, etc never carry water bottles? I always feel self conscious when going into meeting with my pink water bottle and no "leaders," have one.

• Are executives not all that thirsty? Is that their key to success, only be hungry for power, not thirsty for it...
• Do executives believe that water bottles are below them?
• Do executives not believe in recycling and saving the earth?

Just curious....thoughts?????

What can I say...l'm popular.....

Picture this...I am eating lunch yesterday with my boss...enjoying my fruity chicken salad from First Watch...YUM! And this woman comes and sits at the table beside us and greets me with a warm, "Hello, how are you?" We exchange a couple brief words and go back to our respective tables.

My boss then asks how I know this woman and I respond, "Oh, she works at The Limited at Easton."

My boss looks at me and says, "You have a problem."

So true....

Work Lesson # 1

I try never to write about work on this blog, because it certainly isn't about work...but here I go, breaking my own rule.

I was meeting with someone today for the first time about something that I don't usually work with. And without giving up too much info, he asked me if I knew what he did and what the meaning behind all he did, etc. I answered his questions quite well, if I do say so myself. Although he kept saying,"good answer," and "yes, that's exactly right," he kept asking me to pretend I was this and I was that, so I could better understand what he did. It was patronizing and annoying....I finally said, "I completely understand where you are going here, the examples are not necessary," in my really profession voice. I thought, you take that and stick it in your chocolate smoothie! (As we were walking back from Starbucks.)

Then I stepped out into the street and nearly got hit by on car...creditability went down to zero and the examples returned...

Drats!!!!

9:45 AM

It's 9:45 and I have my Diet Coke and M&M cookies...my world is complete......at least for the next 3-4 minutes....

One, Two, Three Strikes You're Out

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not too fond of the following things:

• Heat/Being hot-I panic!
• Children
• Organized Sporting events, especially watching them

And even though my area at work was told as a special treat we would head to the new Huntington Park to catch a lunch Clippers game, I tried to keep a positive attitude. I am very appreciative that they allow us fun days and to be away from the office. I, in fact, tried to remain positive even when we got to the park and noticed numerous "mini buses," with daycare names on them. I even remained positive when they were handing out posters for children as you walked in.

I don't know when my cookie started to crumble, but I think it was around the time that I realized that it was "Daycare Day," at Clippers Stadium and I was surrounded by at least 100 kids. Now I know that sometimes I get a big dramatic on here, but I am spitting the truth on this one...Kids everyone! I felt like Ms. Hanigan from Annie. Except instead of little girls, little girls, I would have sang, little kids...little kids.

These children began to chant things such as, "You missed it loser, " and "Let's got Clippers, let's go...Clip my nails!" And I will be honest...they were almost cute the first 50 times.

And then there was the heat. I am a very hot natured person, the time I tell you I am cold...I am potentially sick and dying. So yesterday as we sat in the extreme heat with the sun beating directly on us, I thought I was going to die. At one point I stood up and looked like I had a "wee," bit of an accident because I was sweating so badly.

And to top it all off, we stayed the entire 9 innings, as did the lovely, lovely children. At one point I actually began to tear up because the situation was just not funny anymore. I was miserable.

I know this post wasn't particularly funny, but I just felt like someone else should know my pain. Perhaps I should have warned you in the beginning of the post....

Hell no!!!! No one warned me at the beginning of the game...so we are all kind of even...
