Lost

i am about 1/2 way thru the Lost finale.  and, as i said on FB - what the weirdness, charlie brown?!  just when i am like "yes!  yay!" and all teary happy, it throws me a curve & i'm like, nooooo!  *laugh*  but did you watch??  what did you think?  i'll have more when i see how it all ends... i hope i'm happy with it.  i really really really want to like the ending.  i have loved this show from the beginning - and then i gave up on it for a season and a half - and then i loved it again.  even when everyone was like "WTH?" 

okay... took a pause, and i have to say... i did like it, but have to wonder about  - where were michael & walt?  what are we supposed to take from that?  i'll be interested to discuss w/ other losties. 

today was CRAZY.  got up at 6:30, marty picked me up about 20 minutes later, went to the meeting at HQ.  okay, i know some ppl find these meetings very interesting.  and sometimes i'm one of them.  but today just was not holding my interest.  i did perk up for the safety portion, but then it kinda irritated me.  *laugh*  got back to the office around 9:30 & dealt w/ the explosion of email & messages & whatnots.  the plan for lunch was haefner's but then i had an impromptu retirement vacation meeting, and trish ended up having to leave w/o me.  d'oh!  it worked out okay, tho, because there was baked potato soup in the cafe & that's one of my favorites.  and i only spent $3 for lunch instead of $7!  ; )  i'll probably spend $7 tomorrow now.  lol  anywhoo!  because of the impromptu meeting, i got invited to a 1 o'clock meeting on the same subject, and that was fun!  it was only supposed to be an hour, but ended up being an hour & a half.  so then i missed trish on break!  *pout*  but she let me bum a smoke *smile*, so i got to say hi at least!  *laugh* 

then i had another meeting at 3:30, and in between all that, my email just kept growing!  i didn't even have time to research some of the answers!!  so, that's what i'll be working on tomorrow!  i do love my research time, though!  it's a blessing, solving puzzles & getting answers for ppl.  4 o'clock was quittin' time since we started at 7:30, and i was exhausted! 

of course, my evening was just beginning.  marty dropped me at home & i changed into loungewear, grabbed phil's birthday cards (yes, there were two - baby brother only turns THIRTY once you know!) & headed to sonic for a strawberry lemonade.  except they made it a limeade.  and you know i love the limeades!  still, i wanted a lemonade, so i took it back.  then i was not impressed with the attitude i received.  first of all, when i ordered a strawberry lemonade, they repeated back to me a lemonade and i corrected them.  they then repeated it back correctly.  and they STILL made it incorrectly.  when i drove back around, they all were staring at me out the door, like, "she didn't stop at the squawk box, did she?  why is she back?"  then the gal who'd taken my order came out & i told her the mix up & she just stared at me & went back in.  no apology, no sense of anything but annoyance.  and that could have just been my perception, it's perfectly possible that she thought she apologized.  i don't think so, tho... because when she handed me my new drink, i don't think it was a lemonade.  i think it was a strawberry sprite.  which i did not discover until i was already out of there, of course.  why didn't i take a drink before driving away?  i've no idea.  probably because i was thinking, "there's no way they'd screw it up TWICE!"  yeah, shows what I know!  lol 

anyway, i mean it's not a big deal as far as the drink goes - they're all the same price and i like them, so whatever.  what annoys me is the total lack of acceptance for doing a poor job, AND not even trying to do the right job the 2nd time.  and do you know why that is?  NO CONSEQUENCES!  seriously, it's even SURVEY time for these ppl & they aren't concerned with getting it right.  that tells me that there's no real reason for them to GET it right.  i will say, tho, that it's not everyone there, i think it's just a few "bad apples."  because - let's face it, i'm there on average 4 out of 7 days a week.  i'm spending $8-10 there a week on drinks!!  (well, probably less because 1/2 of the time i'm there for happy hour)  *sigh* 

after the drink scenario, i picked up frosties for phil & leyton & headed over there to play.  we had some fun, even tho the poor kid was totally tuckered out from a fun day at the zoo, and no nap!  he was CRRRAAAANNNNKKKYYYY, too!  it was alright, tho.  we watched Bibleman & played & ate waffles.  : )  when mom got home, she was a whirlwind & not really paying attention to either of us.  i left, but then leyton came out, crying because he wanted to tell me a secret before i left.  there really wasn't anything, he just wanted more hugs & love you's.  : )  i obliged, of course!  mom gave us hugs, too, and apologized for not doing so as soon as she got home.  i think it was bath & bed after i left for real!  heh. 

who could get mad at him for tantrums??  not me! 

made it home a little after 9, got to chat w/ joy for a brief moment, watched Lost & voila! 

now, no time for Apprentice (who won??) - i think i'll go find out but will watch tomorrow.  i need to sleep!  ; )  i hope you all had a great day & if you watch Lost, let me know what you thought, please!  also if you have problems (or not) w/ a food chain you can't bring yourself to boycott because you love their product!  : )

ttfn!
