today was nutty, and busy, and fun, and boring, and then fun again. lol
i had a meeting this afternoon - all afternoon - from 12 - 4:30! parts of it were boring, but only because the content really didn't apply to me or my area. the instructors were awesome, tho, and one of them i could listen to forever! i've been to presentations she's given about her travels, and she's very engaging! also, they provided lunch, and that was tastey. i still have the candy bar in my purse...that will make a nice breakfast in the morning (because since i'm not going to get to bed til 12:30 at the earliest, we know i'm not going to have time to toast my english muffins before i leave for work! lol)! speaking of food... i may have inadvertently given myself a new nickname among some of my co-workers...Pickles. you see, the ice breaker game was to get into groups of 4 or 5 & write down 10 things we all had in common. i asked if everyone in the group liked pickles... and apparently on our field trip to dbq last week i may have mentioned a love of pickles a couple of times... LOL
after work, i met my friends holly & kaylie for dinner at a deceptively fronted neighborhood mexican restaurant, la flama. i grew up in this town & went to school a few blocks away and worked a few blocks away from where this restaurant is currently. and yet... i got lost. well, that's not entirely accurate. i turned down the right street for the restaurant, but there was construction & part of the road was blocked off. THEN i got turned around. lol but it's all good, i found it finally! : ) the three of us hadn't gotten together in a long while, altho i see kaylie often, and kaylie & holly just saw each other two days ago! *laugh* but the THREE of us hadn't hung out recently, so it was nice.
and also, i have to say, the mushroom & cheese quesadilla was delicious!!! i would have pictures... *sigh* i must remember to order that charger!! apparently i am the last person where i work to try this restaurant, because when i mentioned where we were going after the meeting, everyone had wonderful things to say about it, and they were all shocked i had never been! heh. anyway, i definitely hope to be back, now that i can find it... lol
i came home & returned sarah & stephen's call from monday. stephen actually talked (okay, meep'd) to me! he's verrrry opposite of leyton when it comes to phones! leyton will chat your ear off on the phone, but stephen is more reserved. so the meeping was progress!! : ) got to IM w/ april & joy, and my computer allowed me to watch ONE episode of Secret Life. gave me fits during the 2nd one i tried to watch, so i switched to safe mode to finish leyton's first posting & write this! isn't that swell? *laugh*
now i must hit the hay! i sense more OT in my future, and i'd like to meet mom & leyton for dinner, so my plan is to get up at 7 (agh, 7!! *cry*) and go in to work a bit early, then leave at 5:30. we'll see what happens! have a terrific night & tomorrow & i'll chat at ya later!
ttfn!
p.s.
i did have some nice mail today - a post card from russia and a card from my aunt janie and the wedding invite to cousin matt & johnna's wedding in october! woot! : ) pictures later!
