Mail & Chili's & Flash Mobs, oh my!

i got $2 in the mail, from the survey company!  along with the booklet i need to fill out for a week about my radio listening.  i'm listening to pandora right now.  bryan adams is singing for forgiveness... i had a friend in college, levi, who looked quite a bit like bryan adams.  i wonder what happened to levi?  he's one of the (sadly large number) men i was very good friends with (i thought) in college, who suddenly disappeared from my life w/ no explanation. 

anywhoo!  that's neither here nor there! 

i did my chicago driver routine this morning & got to work fifteen minutes EARLY and thought to myself - why do i ever get in the right lane on that bridge?  so, we'll try it again tomorrow & see if i'm blessed again!  : ) 

(Peter Cetera sidebar.... "Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret, Breaks my heart to see you cryin... I don't want to lose you, I could never make it alone... I am a man who will fight for your honor.  I'll be the hero you're dreamin of.  We'll live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the Glory of Love...)  He's amazing!  this peter cetera moment (and karate kid memory) was brought to you by pandora radio.  *grin* 

okay, so if you can't tell, it's very late and i am very loopy.  not that the two are mutually exclusive.  i can certainly be clear headed late at night - or loopy at any time of day!  it's part of my charm.  ; )  today was a very interesting day.  work was normal (busy-normal, which i enjoy) & had lots to keep busy.  ppl were funny today, in a good way, so that was nice.  someone brought in REALLY HOT salsa, and a couple of the managers tried it at the end of the day, and lemme tell you it was fun to watch!  VERY different reactions.  one is not used to spicy things at all & i wish i'd had a camera for the reaction!  the other one eats spicy stuff all the time & loves it, but ate this particular salsa & turned quite red in the face!  blamed it on the a/c.  LOL  (to be fair, it WAS stuffy in the office, so ... )

after work, i met mom & leyton at chili's for dinner.  best loaded baked potato soup!!!  yummy! 

leyton & mom had fun, too, as you can see.  : ) 

when we left, leyton blew me a kiss, it was the cutest thing!  i mean, we blow kisses all the time, but it was just the way he did it - holding his transformers umbrella on his shoulder, idk!  just cute!  : ) 

i got to chat w/ april & joy when i got home, which was nice!  also watched Lost and then got distracted watching Flash Mob videos on youtube.  have you guys heard of these?  a group of kids did one in a local hy vee awhile ago, which was the first i'd heard of the phenomenon.  it's awesome - a group of ppl in a public place just start dancing (or freeze, or do some other random thing) together and then leave like nothing unusual just happened.  *laugh*  check it out for yourself, really!

i like that one because they're not dancers, most of them, and they're from all walks of life!  you can see the grandmotherly type ladies and businessmen and little kids and teenagers... i love it!

this one is a random MC Hammer dance, which was just fun! 

there are a TON of michael jackson tribute dances, but some of my favorites were schools.

and finally, the one that started it all for me, the hy vee flash mob.

ttfn!  : )
