My "co-workers"

The lovely people that I am always talking about... They ask me why I refer to them as my co-workers instead of my friends. They are my friends too! I wouldn't hang out with them after work if they weren't. LOL. Just kidding! They make coming to work a blast... and we like each other so much, we all got matching shirts!


Today, we were the Blues Crew.

Time...

Aaah!!! I wish our day was 30 hours long sometimes. It just seems that there isn't ever enough time to get things done. Blah!

Time management... I need a lesson in that. Anyone have any suggestions?

Rock the Pumpkin!

Just one week away! I can't wait to see how all the little kids will be dressed.

And for all of you with little girls, you will have to come to the Missionettes booth. We are trying something new this year.

I'm so excited!

Here are 7 strange/ weird/ crazy things about me:

  1. In one week, I drink a total of 1 tall glass of actual water.
  2. To this day, I have not learned how to put make up on my face. As sad as it sounds, on the few special occasions that I have had to wear make up, my mom does it for me.
  3. I eat some really weird things. One of my favorites being a Filipino delicacy called balut. I would describe it on here, but I don't want to gross you out. Click here to see what it is. Ya, pretty disgusting, huh? Tastes a lot better than it looks.
  4. I don't like ranch dressing. (Maybe because I didn't grow up in Texas.) I know, how weird that I can eat that thing in number three, but can't dip some veggies in ranch.
  5. I have never mowed grass in my life. Or even done anything in the garden. It seems that everything I touch dies on me.
  6. I love to sing karaoke... but only when no one is around or listening.
  7. I've always dreamed of working on the top floor of those really tall glass buildings in the big cities. I still haven't figured out what they do up there, or even which big building I want to work in, but hopefully one day I'll find out. Even if I have to start out on the third floor.
There ya go! 7 things you may wish that you never knew about me. I stayed up too late to finish this.

Now I tag... whoever is left that hasn't done it yet!!!

get well soon...

get well soon beth... i'm sorry you're sick. you have to hurry up and feel better so we can do our laundry!

will a dr. pepper make you feel better?

The weekend...

We went away and had a blast. Five girls on a road trip for 2 day and 2 nights to San Antonio. We were on a mission to watch the Spurs game. Here was our weekend in a quick summary.

  • Ate at the Alamo Cafe on Friday night with the Bridges: Delicious fajitas and all you can eat tortillas.
  • Saturday: Ate at Good Time Charlie's for lunch (award winning onion rings)
  • Shopped like a bunch of kids let loose in a toy store at the Northstar Mall.
  • Ate at Texas Land and Cattle on the Riverwalk for dinner: Yummy steak and shrimp! (Thanks to Beth's uncle for inviting us.)
  • Watched the Spurs beat the Pistons.
  • Played games at the house.
  • Sunday: Ate at the Rainforest Cafe on the River (An experience all on its own. A little pricy, but I would recommend it.)
  • A little more shopping.
  • Stop at the Krispy Kreme on the way home.
  • Drove home.

And now we are back...

It was fun, but I'm glad to be home.

Still sick...

I haven't gotten better yet. And obviously, since my last post, I still haven't learned to go to bed at a decent time.

Ugh! Don't like this feeling...

I need to get better by this weekend. We are going to San Antonio to watch a Spurs game. I'm so excited!

Boss' Day

Today was the day to show our boss how much we appreciate them. Our department decided to plan to cook lunch for them. They are both so good to us and they deserve to feel appreciated. Since we couldn't just shut down the department for an hour, we decided to just cook for them. Everything was so delicious!!!

On the menu we had Mexican lasagna, Spanish rice, beans, lime chips with guacamole, fruit (for the health conscious), and peanut butter cake for dessert. Everything was absolutely amazing.

Ahh... the love of food in our department. I don't know what we would do without it. I think I'm going to get fat working there. =P

Thank You Jesus for blessing us with amazing bosses. I've never been in a work environment where I actually look forward to coming to work everyday. Thank You for giving them the knowledge and patience to work with us. I hope they had a wonderful Boss' Day today.

Sick...

I think I'm getting sick and I don't like it. Maybe I should drink more water and get a lot of rest. I'm not a big fan of water and I don't know how to sleep early.

This stinks! I'm sniffling and sneezing like crazy! I'm going to bed now...

I just hope Dime doesn't get it from me.

Jane

This morning, she had an amazing time...
Ha ha ha! And I think you should share some of that ice cream you bought!

Homework time...

Maybe Ruby can learn how to add money and tell time too...

Big Sister

It's official. As of yesterday, Diamond is now a big sister. A brand new baby boy was delivered in North Pole, Alaska this morning. I don't have all the details yet, but I will post some pictures as soon as I get some.

Welcome to the life outside of your mommy's belly Phoenix Marvin Rae! Thank you Father God for bringing another beautiful baby into the world!

The day has come...

One of my really good friends, who also happens to be my co-worker, has decided to quit her job. I knew it wasn't going to be much longer before she made this decision, but today she made it official. I'm going to miss her. I'll still see her outside of work on our special girls nights of course, but I will miss taking our 4 o'clock breaks together, bringing each other lots of work to do, and just having my good friend right around the corner to talk to. We used to work in the same department sitting right next to each other, but I had to move. Now it's her turn.

I thank God for blessing me with Dori. She is an amazing woman of God that has encouraged me through both the good and bad times. I know that she will be blessed in all of her future endeavors. Just like a lot of the bloggers, she is going to be a teacher. She will add to the collection of already really great ones! Good luck Dori! I'll miss you!

And the dentist says...

"You have a cavity!"

OH NO!!! My dreaded fear has become a reality. Blah! I have, or thought I have, been taking care of my teeth so well. I brush three times a day everyday, and still, I get a cavity. I feel like my teeth are already worn out from excessing brushing. Oh well, it will make it. And it will be gone next week.

And here I am, the one always reminding my baby to take care of her teeth so she won't get a cavity, and then I have to tell her this. Maybe I should be like her and drink more milk, maybe, just maybe that will help.

Dot dot dot

I just realized that I don't know how to finish my sentences with just one period. I love my "...'s." I don't know why, but it's a terrible habit. Imagine reading a 15 page paper with all the sentences ending in three periods. Whoo, that could take up a lot of words in the word count!

I just can't help it... =)

Who knew?

We were sitting at what was supposed to be the Chapter One tailgate party last night having a quite amusing conversation with one of our new friends. We learned quite a few interesting facts from this young man...

He plays the bagpipes and was telling us all about it and how he wears the traditional kilt. I have never actually met someone who could play this instrument so that was pretty cool in itself... Then he has this conversation with my friend....

  • New friend: It's quite relaxing, ya know.
  • My friend: Playing the bagpipes? That's good!
  • New friend: No, wearing the kilt.

Now that was interesting!!!

OOOWWWWWWWW!!!!

My tooth hurts! I woke up a couple of mornings ago and it just hurt. I thought it would go away, but I don't think that's happening. I hope it's not a cavity. I haven't had one of those in YEARS!!!

I don't want to go to the dentist. They scare me.

REMINDER TO SELF: CALL THE DENTIST!!!

Columbus Day

Happy Columbus Day tomorrow!

Why do the kids have school?

I want to sleep in!!!

I want to be a Princess!!!

Yesterday, we went to watch Disney Princesses on Ice! It was a great show. I'm such a kid. Here are some pictures for those who weren't able to go...It was beautiful! But this year, I actually didn't get suckered into buying $10 cotton candy or popcorn. That was a relief. It sure was tempting though.

Pretty Purple

I had nothing else better to do this Friday evening... so I changed my blog layout like everyone else has. So many choices.

I need a nap.

All you can eat

So I was outside about two nights ago while some mosquitoes had a buffet on my legs. I thought they would be gone by now, but it looks like they are getting worse. I was going to post a picture, but it just looks so gross. I have FIFTEEN big swollen bites! I think a new breed has moved in because they were ginormous! Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration.

Oh well for wearing a skirt to church on Sunday. JK!

Oh... and my co-worker suggested white nail polish for relieving the itch and even though it leaves a white crust around them, it actually works!

Thanks for a GREAT boss!!!

I think that so far, in all of my years of employment, I have found the best boss ever. She is so sweet and always reminds us to "do what we think is right." She has a kind heart and a good sense of humor. When we makes mistakes, she does not talk down to us or make us feel dumb for making silly errors. She's really great.

Well, I celebrated my 4th anniverysary at the credit union and little did I know that every anniversary we have, she takes us out to lunch at a restuarant of our choice, and it's her treat. She's just the bestest!!! I picked Outback. It was so good. Although they were out of what I was planning on ordering, I still got some yummy coconut shrimp! Boss' Day is coming up here real soon... she is going to be on vacation next week... well, remember the desk prank I wrote about before? Well, it's her turn!!! Happy Early Boss' Day!!!

We aren't really that mean to each other. We actually have something really special planned for her...
