tonight was...

a GREAT night!!

it's always nice to get to know people on a more intimate level. but what's even better than that, is when you become better acquainted with someone, but feel like you've known them all your life. i had a night like that.

so, a little shout is going out to Mel and Judy. Hollar!!!
You two are definitely kindred spirits. and i'm ever so thankful.

:)

gracias a mi amigo Tim!

a big THANK YOU to my fun, wacky, witty and all-around outstanding friend Tim for introducing me to"Google Reader" this evening.

It's AMAZING!!!

I no longer have to check all of my friends blogs everyday to see if they've blogged about their newest haircut, latest girl infatuation or rather, to see if they even blogged at all. Thanks to google technology, I now have put almost all my regularly viewed blogs on my google reader; which will let me know when you, yes YOU, have blogged. I no longer have to have a daily ritual of checking to see if you posted something, then be completely disappointed when you haven't. My newest and greatest application will now do all the work. And like the marketing claims, I will now: Stay up to date; Simplify my reading experience; and last but certainly not least, Discover new content!!!

Can it get any better?? I don't think so Tim. (he he!)

So, to you Tim, with happiness of heart and new found respect, I say...Thank You.

For this act of kindness and friendship you have shown, I present to you a picture of a "rolex replica" to show my gratitude.



Just so you know, I picked out the picture myself. I thought the fake encrusted diamonds added a little something extra.
Nothing but the best for you, buddy.

Enjoy Tim. Enjoy.

today at the "Y"

it's definitely friday--yippee!!--and i haven't accomplished much at work. as i sit here at my desk, around 3:30ish, debriefing with myself about my days work (and i use the word "work" very loosely), i've found that i have managed to do a whole lot of...nothing. yep. i'm sure it's apparent to you the reader, as i sit here writing this, instead of "Y" things. but i look at it like this, i am continuing on in my goal of doing nothing today. i didn't wake up with this goal; this goal found me when i walked in the door at 9:05am.

here's a list of what i have accomplished today....

~went to Starbucks for Angie & Mike
~entered registrations for some new kiddos to the Afterschool program (ah, some work was accomplished today!!)
~fed my Fish, MG!
~checked my emails (nothing good there either. phooey!)
~checked my 2 "Y" email accounts. which involves responding to crazy and some not so crazy parents, schools & coworkers; and of course, my daily ritual of erasing many spam emails that i get. for example: Russian women want to meet YOU; enlarging members; and of course, the countless Viagra adds!! (i mean seriously already!!)
~took some registration packets to the Mapleton Center (cool, more work being done)
~did a song & dance for the billing department. (yes, indeed i did)
~picked up Tokyo Joe's for jenell's and my lunch. (mmm, Sushi)
~looked at houses on the internet with angie.
~watched a velociraptor imitation by Kristen.
~sent some emails to parents regarding financial assistance. (oooh, more work being done)
~sang loudly along with Savage Garden's I Knew I Loved You on my Yahoo Launchcast radio player.
~looked at myspace, blogger, facebook and all those other social networks i can get on.
~more singing, more dancing, more laughing
~finished up my "Y" work (good job rae, good job!)

okay, i did do some work. it just didn't seem like it, because i've played more than worked today. but, i can't help that i'm so efficient that i'm ahead of the game. that's just who i am! oh yea. but, now i have a little over 2 hours with nothing left to do. hmmm. well, i guess it's time to perform another showtune for the billing department.

okay, i'm out!

a few things i've been enjoying lately...

*recently, thanks to the lovely Hope, i have been enjoying spending time at the laughing goat! (and i so didn't mean for that to rhyme) anyways, back to the 'goat'...it's a fun, local coffee shop on pearl street. if you haven't been there, well, then i guess you haven't been there.

**watching celebrity rap superstar on mtv. yes, i said it. so deal with it!!
sidenote: Sebastian Bach has been my favorite so far!!

***re-acquainting myself with Shel Silverstein's classic "Where the Sidewalk Ends".
one of my favorite's would be....

Listen to the Mustn'ts
Listen to the MUSTN'TS child
listen to the DON'TS
listen to the SHOULDN'TS
the IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
then listen close to me--
anything can happen, child
ANYTHING can be.

***also, i've been enjoying green tea with mint every night before
bed!!

****and last, but certainly not least, i've been enjoying wild nights of polka music and mancala!

yep...so that's all i want to share for now!

a little shout out to my mom...

HEY MOM!! Happy Birthday!!!!

thanks for being you, being born and being my mom. without you...i wouldn't be here! :)

i should be asleep

today, unfortunately, i was woken up about 4:30am. yes, that's correct, 4:30am; by a lovely roommate on her way to brazil. i attempted to fall back to sleep, but couldn't. and i tried my best to not be too tired today. but it didn't work. i could barely keep my eyes open at work. and i remember trying to play "candyland" with one of the girls at the elementary school, well, lets just say, i was so not into the game and i kept closing my eyes. as my friend aimee says, "i had little midgets hanging on my eyelids." and before i realized it, that little rascal was fixing the game so she would win everytime. she marked the back of the card so she would always grab the fairy popsicle card everytime. which would basically take her to the top of the board. so, yes, she indeed won!! did i care? not really.

so, why am i awake now? well, i took a nap and now, i'm not that tired.

shoot!!

5 More

Yes, I have indeed watched 5 more episodes of the office season 3 today.

It was a great day. I haven't had the opportunity to relax and do nothing in a long time.

so, yeah!

11

i've been so busy lately. yes, i know, poor me.

so today, i decided to do NOTHING. nothing that is, except watch 11 episodes of "The Office". it was nice.

i need a vacation

it's become very clear to me that i am in need of a serious vacation. i could go visit family and friends in the Great State of Oklahoma; or i could visit friends in a handful of other States. for example...Utah, Washington, Florida, New York, Texas, etc. etc. i could go on and on...but i won't.

so, where do i go?

hmmm...

i think i'll go to Greece!!!



lately, all i think about is going to Greece. i want to see the architecture, meet the people, hear the language, taste the food and explore the history...i want to experience it all.










does anyone want to go with me???
