I feel so distant from my blog. My every other day posts have whittled down to just 1 a week. So while I am sure you have all missed seeing how our little family is progressing, know that I left you for very good reason, and that is was only temporary. One of the hardest classes I have ever had to take is now OVER! And, I worked my little *cough*BIG*cough* butt off to get through it with a drum roll please…
Please note the comment on the Final. Yep thats right, I got the high score! Woot! Just goes to show how a little hard work can pay off.
I can honestly say, I have never been so proud of an ‘A’. This was a REALLY difficult class for me, and I thought I would be lucky to pull a ‘C’. Go me!
One particularly busy and stressful week, we decided to take 10 minutes at the end of Friday day to breathe…(have I ever mentioned we don’t really take breaks other than lunch at my office, so when we do, they have to be filled with fun!) and what did we decide to do with that time?
WATER COOLER BOWLING!
(Did I mention the big boss was in Florida this whole time??)
So this post is a little overdue seeing as how it is April 6th, but between work being ridiculously busy and school being just as crazy, I have had no time to post.
April Fools Day went a little crazy this year. It started off with some packing peanuts…
Then a few more… and a closed door….
Chris said he didn’t think his office was full of peanuts, but he sure did open the door slowly!
Then my keys got hidden, DARN! and then… it was ON! On like Donkey Kong!
Alright, I admit it… I’m 29. Last Saturday was my Birthday and while I swear this is my last one, it was a bit easier knowing Addie was there to celebrate it with me.
On Friday afternoon, Ali brought her to my office for the afternoon. Kristel brought in her twins as well. They are 2 months older than Addie.. It was a fun play date and I think we should start a PTI Daycare!
Yay! My birthday is this weekend, and I started celebrating today with the help of my dear friend and co-worker Shanda. She is going to Disneyland (for me, since I can’t go this year… again.) But, before leaving she wanted to celebrate in typical PTI style. WITH FOOD!
Last week she asked what I wanted as a treat before she left. After careful consideration, I decided on Cupcakes… no wait, M&M’s… no cupcakes. Ahhh! Cupcakes with M&M’s on top! PERFECT! (can you feel the cavities forming yet?)
And don’t worry, there are still 3 days until my birthday, so if seeing these yummy cupcakes makes you feel bad that you didn’t get me anything there is still time.
I like cars, cash and jewels…
Oh the places you’ll go, oh the people you’ll see
when you try to get to Nashville, Tennessee.
Oh the people you’ll see when you fly to Atlanta,
Your flight will get cancelled… dose up on Mylanta.
Not to worry, don’t fear, things will get back in gear
and 6 hours later you’ll put down your beer.
A 4 hour flight, oh it seems rather quick,
But beware of your neighbor, for he’s rather slick
From India he roams
with his “impressive” camera phone
He smells of curry, and very cheap cologne…
We finally arrive but much to our surprise
the flight to Tennessee? It’s canceled.
Rebooking takes a day
and the rentals? – Not one way
this just sucks, theres absolutely no time to play.
The training it starts in a measly 12 hours
We’re all very tired and quickly losing our powers
A round trip we’ll make
Four hours it will take,
and thats just the start of day 1.
2 hours in, the swear words begin
as we realize the round trip was wrong.
For from where we left, we are not going back
the flights not the same, we’re all out of whack.
The hotel, it’s amazing
and I just can’t stop gazing
at all of the wonder I see.
Can it be our lucks changing
as things start arranging
unfortunately theres no guarantee.
