Saturday Night



Ok obvioulsy it wasn't my bachelorette party but lisa bought this fun camera that had littile sayings when you print them out, and she took this one of me and we didnt know what it was going to say. haha so we thought it was pretty funny that my pic ended up on that one! that might be the only time that i have that underneath my name!! the night was very fun, i think that Lori--the real bachelorette, had a good time.
Tracy, i got your message about the Race and i am very excited. i will be in Schamburg on sunday but i should be there in time to tune in! yeaaa!
today i am buys packing my stuff up for real this time! i am going through all my old files and throwing everything away. i found paperwork from 1999! ha i was 22 :)
ok i hope that everyone has a great day!

Pink Day


Yesterday we had our "Passionate for Pink" day here at work. We all got to dress in pink and wear jeans. Each department decorated our areas. We sold "In celebrations of" and "in memory of" flyers and hung them up all over the office. i think we raised like $600 or something for Breast cancer awareness. It was a lot of fun. We have 3 breast cancer survivors who work here. Actually one works in my area and she isn't doing so well right now, her cancer came back and she has been ot of work since August, i don't know if she will make it back here. Anway it was a fun day here. Last year we were on the news for it but id on't know if they came this year or not. I am in the front row of the picture.

Beautiful Saturday

it is so pretty outside today! the leaves are changing colors and the sun is shining!! love it! I met shannon underwood for lunch today at old chicago downtown. she is doing good, she is still not feeling well, but is hoping the sick feeling goes away soon, she isn't actually getting sick just feels like she is going to all of the time--YUCK! Not too much else is going on today.i am going to head back home and continue cleaning, i got the way downstairs done this morning, need to to living room, i have laundry everywhere--at least it is clean i guess :) I went over to karyns last night to hang out with the shorts and abbie-it was fun, the kids (and rick) befriended a little kitten, alan named him Crawford. Did he stick around for long? well i hope that everyone is having a good day!!

fRiDaY



happy friday everyone! i am very ready for the weekend, i do not have big plans but it will be nice to just get stuff done around my house!

We had a bake sale at work today to raise money for postage for the packages we send to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan--you should have seen the MAD dash to get in there when it started at 8:30-people were throwing elbows! it was funny. i got a pumpkin cookie--there were LOTS of good stuff. i think when i leave here i will probably lose 15lbs-LOL! seriously though!

I got my hair cut again on Tuesday, megan just did it at her house. i have gotten SO many compliments on it!!! i love it! she just took it up more, but for some reason people have really noticed, very fun to get compliments :)

Ok i should get going. Isn't this pic of this dog hilarious??? it was in some email i got, what a cute little guy. i bet he hated being in that costume. Tracy he is a Shih-Tzu, maybe you can get that outfit far Ral???!!! :)

SUNDAY

Happy Sunday. Not too much going on here, iam over at Karyns and we are trying to figure out how to download songs on hew new phone! Hmmm we are having some trouble. This weekend has been pretty good. Went to Kellehers with Lisa and then downt o Maritinis for a bit on Friday, i did not drunk dial--disappointing i know. Yesterday i cleaned a little bit and then went to Sue's for her annual cookout. it was ok. lots of families there so i felt pretty out of place, i didn't stay for too long. i ended up going home and reading and then fell asleep for 12 hours!!! hahaha :) i guess i needed it. so now i am over at karyns and i am going to head to the gym soon. Pretty boring life i am leading!! oh well!

crazy friday!

It has been a crazy day to say the least! Turns out that Verizon isn't done doing the background check on me yet, they are still waiting on WIU to get back to them to let them know i did go there and did graduate! So i get back from my "last lunch" and get the message that i won't be able to start until Nov 5th. I had already had my exit interview with HR so i didn't know what i was going to do. I Had a MAJOR meltdown and started crying at my desk. Mom and i were texting back and forth trying to figureout what i was going to do. She offered to let me clean their house for $100--LOL i accepted. Anyway i talked to my manager and they are going to let me stay here for another 3 weeks. WOO HOO!!! i am so happy, i was really nervous!!! So today really isn't my last day! I am an emotional wreck right now. hahaha, i need a drink! :)
