Wake Up. Wake Up.

Good look.

"Screw off, I'm joking, man!!"

Hmmm, cute boots though.

Pick Me Up

Hump Day

• I received an email at 10:30 am for a meeting at 1:30 at the main office. I don't mind meetings one bit...but, Sir..a little more warning would have been great. I had to struggle to get a school kid's after school time situated.
• I also had my yearly review at work (a little late). I like the company more and more. I was really nervous about the review process but walked out of it feeling lifted up, encouraged and clear direction on my time so far and future. I now feel silly for being so nervous.
  
• On the way to the main office today for the meeting, a pickup passes me, slows down, I pass him, he speeds up, he passes me, he slows down, I pass him....this goes on for about twenty miles before I decide I'm a bit annoyed and tired of it...he finally gets right next to me and holds up his right arm to show off his muscle. I laughed out loud. He tried to say something using hand motions...I was clueless, uninterested and it was raining. I put my left hand up and pointed at my ring finger, as if to say, I'm married. He fell for it and sped off. Hey it's not my fault the brainiac didn't notice that there wasn't a ring there.
• The guy in the pickup truck didn't look old enough to be out driving a pickup truck at 1:00 in the afternoon. He looked like he should have been in school.
• We went to Arkansas for the Thanksgiving Holiday to spend time with family....well, the family spent time together....I retreated to the 4 wheeler to check the trails in the woods.
  
• I'm going back in March or April to play .... I mean work on the 4 wheeler (and possibility the big tractor) to clear some paths of fallen trees. It gets harder and harder to leave that place every time I visit. I love the family up there and the area they live in is gorgeous.
• I broke down and wore an Arkansas Razorback t-shirt for kicks on Thanksgiving Day. I showered afterward!
  
• On the way back home, we got stuck in standstill traffic 10 miles east of Texarkana. Then we got to drive five miles an hour in pouring rain all the way to Texarkana. Mother showed me that the google latitude iphone map will show you traffic on the google map. We learned that it will show a red line for stopped traffic (which it did) and a yellow line for slow moving traffic (which it did also). We ended up pulling over and waiting out the storm and traffic. It was tough times but we roughed it out.
• When we finally crossed the state line my younger daughter yells out..."OH, Texas, I see your flag, I missed you sooo much..it's been soo long since I've seen you!" Stinker cracked me up!
  
• I love the family, the time off, the lazy mornings, the talks, hugs, fishing, good church service with excellent singing, the food and the laughs. I'm happy happy that I had the opportunity to get to take my girls with me.
• I'm also loving being home. Maybe I missed that Texas flag too.
  

Wake Up!

Tuesday's Slightly ADD Thoughts

• (Written Monday Night.)
  
• I have a ton of catching up to do since I've been everywhere for the last two weeks.
• It took me awhile to get back online tonight, but I came to the conclusion during my re-hookup of computer troubles that I really really need (want) a laptop.
• Why was I offline? I went to AR for family time and took my computer after going for almost a week without it.
  
• I can't tell you how annoying it is to sit and listen/watch people play with a laptop for the longest time (while you have a zillion things you could do) and then they act angered when you look down at your iphone.
  
• I'm tired. You'd think I would get caught up on sleep after overeating a bunch of turkey...but I didn't.
• I was sore for two days after the 10k run. (Shhh...yes, I know I just did the 10k 2 days ago.)
  
• I talked to a celebrity during lunch today. My Monday went from a little stressful to happy land.
  
• Please don't snow Wednesday. Please don't snow Wednesday. Please don't snow Wednesday.
  
• Monday's whip me like crazy.....ballet x 2, laundry galore, weekend catch up, Monday-work wore out....
  
• I took off one Friday at work...and I'm still paying for it. Taking off the Friday before Thanksgiving Holiday might have been a bad idea...but still waaaay worth it, to hang with some sweet New Jersey tourists.
• Tonight I have accomplished getting the computer back up, some photog work, cleaned kitchen, swept and ran on the treadmill. Now that I've blogged a little bit...I'm thinking it's bed time.
• Happy Tuesday.
  

PreRace Thoughts

I did this race two years ago and it was 30 something degrees outside.
We got here an hour early and there are already a ton of people here.
This race is pretty much a crowd of running clubs. They've spent the year doing a tour of races and this is their last one for the year.
The girl that ran overal last time I was here is here again. She's my age. I'm ok with 2nd place.
Everyone is oddly perplexed by the running chips.



This Duck Event is a huge deal in these parts.
I can now say I've been to Stuggart twice in my life....on purpose!

Wake Up

Paul Blann sings and records a version of Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

I love his voice and sound.

Very nice.

(And I think he's famous.)

Just now....

..going to do blood work and I learned that Dirk was born in 1978? I could have sworn I read that he was born in 1985. I guess, now thinking back, it really doesn't make sense for him to have been born that early and accomplish what he has.

I've been fasting since yesterday and really feel kinda blah without my caffeine.

I waited later than I meant to because I had a meeting crop up that was unexpected.

I'm hungry, thirsty and want.....errr need Red Bull.






Not sure I can make it.

Microsoft Employees Line Dancing?

...to the Black Eyed Peas, I gotta a feeling.




My thoughts:

For real?

Did they get a bonus for doing that?

Do they get minimum wage?

They lose a sales dare with The Disney Store next door?

Is that song really that long?

How many of those people have ever done that dance sober?
