seriously?

Overheard from my boss:
"I just bought really cute denim luggage! We may have to plan that trip to Chicago now so I can use it. But it's not sophisticated enough for Chicago, so I'll probably just bring my zebra one anyway..."

um... okay....

2:18pm - Update

Manager: "I just lost every Excel sheet I've been working on!!!!!"
Assistant: "Which button did you push?"
Manager: "The big red X."
Assistant: "Yeah, it's gone now..."
Manager: "But, where did it go to?"

I want so badly to walk in and say, "it went where all the good little Excel files go... to Microsoft heaven."

Bah-freakin-humbug

You know what cracks me up? I'll tell you. All my life I've heard, "don't be in such a hurry to grow up". When you're little, all you want to do is be older. When you're older, all you want to do is look younger. And yet society is constantly rushing us.

For example, tonight I was at the grocery store and my jaw literally dropped when I saw (are you ready for this?) HALLOWEEN CANDY!!!! Do they not realize there's a heat wave outside, or the fact it's JULY! Chocolate melts, people! According to grocery stores, it's already time for little princesses and comic characters to be knocking on your doors. I bet within a few weeks, we'll Christmas decorations at Target.

Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love the holiday season. But by the time Christmas rolls around, I'm sick of "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree" because we're saturated with the Christmas spirit starting on November 1st.

I'm all about being prepared, but when do you think is a good time to start getting in the holiday spirit?

Just start reading... it'll make sense later

I'm really going to try to keep this blog up, unlike my other one where I randomly post twice every year. Most of the time, I have no idea what I'm writing about until I get here. If you're a faithful reader (which I hope you are), you'll see I have the most random thoughts ever.

I heard the best kind of therapy is writing things out. Since my life is super ridic, I'm obviously going to be writing a lot.  With it being the first post, I should probably give you some insight to who I am for those of you who don't know. Here's a few things I like:
  • Apple products (iTunes, iPad, iPod, iLove iT)
  • Things that sparkle (I've been known to bling things out when I have the patience)
  • Traveling, I would do it all day, everyday if I could (that's what she said)
  • Football (Don't talk to me while a game is on. You'll have better luck talking to a rock)
  • My adorable niece Julianne (Most kids, I like at an arms length distance. I can't go a few days without planning to see her again. My desk might as well be Julianne wallpaper.)
  • Reality television (Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Teen Mom, every episode of the Real Housewives, Dancing with the Stars... my DVR is usually full by Wednesday.) 
  • The #12 (it's been very good to me)
Now for the things I dislike (this may will definitely be a longer list):
  • Bad drivers (I have bad road rage. You HAVE blinkers for a reason. USE them!)
  • People who constantly remind you how money they have or spent on something (I think you're an idiot you spent that much on a car with a name you can't even spell)
  • Certain football teams (I'll get into that soon. No need to tick anyone off this early.)
  • Stupid people (I work part time as a server; don't ask me for a knife and use a back and forth motion using a clenched fist demonstrating what the purpose of a knife is. I know what a knife is and can hear you perfectly, thank you very much.)
  • Pickles (Yes, I know, "how can you hate pickles?" is the usual question I get. I don't know, I just do. They smell distgusting.)
  • Animal/Child abuse (Pick on someone your own size and not someone/something so defenseless. Most cowardly act in my opinion.)
  • Overly emotional people (maybe its because I hold things in, but when people cry over everything, I find it really annoying.)
  • Smoking (sorry, I'll find another way to slowly kill myself. Like by obsessively eating these chocolate chip cookies...)
  • Fair weather fans (I love abundance of soccer fans when we make the World Cup, but couldn't name 1 person on the team 2 months before)
  • Clowns (Probably the most important thing on this list. Don't show me one, make me take a picture with one, or anything else that will make you laugh at my expense. I will get you back 10x worse.)
 I probably should be a responsible adult and go to bed... but will most likely fall asleep playing Angry Birds.
