Friday List

** meeting at 7:30 this morning.  mandatory.  i'm not sure why.  don't get me wrong, it these meetings are interesting, and on a normal day i really enjoy going.  but since i was gone yesterday, i didn't feel like i could afford those 2 hours.  


** once i got into my office, i tried to work on claims all day.  however, you know how it is!  as soon as you have something you NEED to get done, everyone & their brother has stuff THEY need done.  *laugh*  on top of answering questions & whatnot for my trainee.  and new claims coming in... i stayed until 6:30 & still didn't get everything done that i'd wanted to.  but i'm okay with that.  i have to be, i guess!  lol


** mongolian grill for lunch.  mmmmm!  trish told me not to eat the eggs (??  did you guys know there was an egg recall?) but matt & i both did and PTL i'm fine.  i assume matt is, too.  *laugh*  they wouldn't put it out there if it wasn't safe, right?  : )  


** met mom at the theatre at 7 & we saw The Switch.  jennifer aniston & jason bateman.  i don't really feel one way or another about JA, but i *heart* JB and he did not disappoint!  also, JG (jeff goldblum - did they cast this movie for all J's? lol) plays JB's bff, quite well!  oh, and JL (juliet lewis) plays JA's bff!  oh my goodness, they really did all have j's!  haha!  anyway, i can recommend this movie, i really enjoyed it!  JB has aged really well, and his smile makes me giddy.  which is really weird, because i've always liked him, but never particularly LIKED him.  heh.  


** popcorn.  mmmm.  oh yes!  


** picked up my mail on my way home & had People & a postcard from Finland!  yay!  






** when i got home, my new neighbors were just getting home, too.  they're chatty and friendly.  possibly a little TOO friendly, and should tone it down a notch.  mike is the one who mowed my lawn - which was cool except for the grass everywhere, but for all i know that would have happened w/ phil, too, so it's alright.  (i'm much less mad when i know who did something rather than just having a random situation, ya know?  idk why!)  mike also informed me that he knew where i worked, which was a little disconcerting - he'd asked the park manager about his neighbors, and she mentioned it.  then he asked me what day i was born in august, and i was like, "uhhh, i wasn't born in august."  he'd seen my LP tag.  heh.  anyway, just a couple of things that i'm not sure i would have mentioned while talking to the new neighbor in the dark, right when they've arrived home and have their hands full.  but that's just me!  like i said, sweet ppl, AND they have a chloe (her daughter).  : )  that was fun!  


** sometimes i am anti-social, but almost never when confronted.  i LIKE ppl, and i like to be social, but after an 11 hour work day & a movie, i just wanted to come inside & jammie up & watch white collar... so mike mentioned that he could mow my lawn, and his gf/wife/gal who lives w/ him said, "oh, he'd be happy to do your yard work."  which, again, very nice and neighborly, and thank you very much.  but i can't pay you.  phil does my yardwork because he's my brother & has a kind and helpful heart, just as i do toward him when he needs $$ or a sitter or something!!  so, then, i felt kinda awkward, because i didn't WANT to be anti-social, and i didn't want to negate their offers or anything, but i was very upfront about not being able to pay them.  

** when i did get inside & the computer up... no new white collar on hulu yet!  booo!  *laugh*  but royal pains was up, so i started to watch that, and then my computer went "phhhhhtttt" at me twice and i gave up til tomorrow!  the beginning of the show was nifty, tho.  : )  


** i need to get up by 10:30 tomorrow to get to the PO, and i really am exhausted.  so, have a great night/day and i'll ttyl!  ttfn!  : )
