less than 20 days

Today it happened! A day I have been looking forward to since November / December of last year! The start of college football!!! And yippee that both of my teams won! Sadly I don't get the BTN station so I didn't get to watch but I watched the score the entire time! Great start to the season as both of my teams won!

Not a lot has been going on, or so it seems. Car pooling is going good... M commented a few times on how he's liking me driving - getting a little too comfortable if you ask me! Ha!

Our team ended the month $116 shy of $31K (M's goal)... well as of Friday. We have Tuesday and Wednesday to bring that in. Great month, team! Wednesday will be interesting, need to think of some ideas before the weekend is over!

J and I went for pedicures Thursday and then for a few drinks. I was happy with myself as I only giggled once from it tickling (the pedicure that is). Guess using that pumice stone is paying off!! I wasn't overly impressed with the bar we went to, but the company made it worth the while.

In a few weeks, our team (or part of it) will be on live TV. We will be taking donations for KCPT over the phone. Killer part: it's from 8 to 11pm! Our team will be nice and tired the next day, I'm sure.

Started and finished another book... Nicholas Sparks, you never let me down! "The Choice" is an awesome book. I have loved every book of his! Starting today on "Amazing Grace" by Danielle Steel.

Today makes 19 days until I'm back in Iowa! This year sure has flown by and I have no doubt with everything going on at work in the next few weeks that Sept 19th will be here before I know it.

Sorry I have no pics to share today. M says I'm a picture taking machine... not sure I'd agree at this point!

Have a great 3-day weekend everyone!

Ramblings from my mouth

So it's been a busy week... A group of us from work were at the bar Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Which made Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday difficult days. I can deal with hangovers when I don't have a lot going on the next day, but trying to work an 8 hour day pretty much blows! I work with a great group of people... well, for the most part. It blows my mind that some of the reps get away with the things they do, or think they will get away with. I guess I have too much of a guilty conscious, or too much of a strong work ethic that I wouldn't even begin to try and pull the BS that some of them do.

March madness is in full swing... one of the guys and I went to lunch on Thursday to a bar and grill. Kansas State was playing, it was so loud at Gert's we could barely carry on a conversation with each other. It was nice to feel the pride for K-State, we just picked a bad place to try and eat lunch that day. K-state lost today ... the Jayhawks are playing right now - hopefully they can pull it off.

The weather here has been up and down... it was chilly last weekend, then through the week it was into the 60's and 70's... now this weekend it's back down into the 50's, supposed to flurry tonight and be crappy tomorrow for Easter. Thank goodness it's officially spring... I'm so ready for the green grass, seeing the flowers and leaves come to life and to see people outdoors enjoying the weather. I've heard it almost every day for a few weeks - no, I'm not going or am not in Iowa for Easter. With not having Good Friday off, a 5 hour drive in less than 48-72 hours by myself is too much for me.

While watching bball today, I've been going through some online albums. Why do people feel like they have to put their hands up under their chin to try and hide their double-chin? As if your hand up there, which is totally out of place, isn't obvious enough that you're trying to hide your chin? I know we all hate it, but just let it be.

Besides working for a few hours today, returning some stuff to a few stores - I haven't gotten anything else accomplished (I tell ya, hangovers kick my @ss)... and with my housewarming party coming up, I need to get on the ball and get a TON of stuff done. I plan on busting my butt tomorrow to get a good chunk of things done. With that, I hope everyone has a Happy and blessed Easter!

Oh... and I must not forget one of my all time favorite Easter pictures... I took this of my niece around Easter of 2003.
