Long Lost Friends
So last night I met with Maureen at Magnolia and we ate outside on the street. It was such a nice evening, the sun was shining and people we're out running around just happy to be outside in some warmer weather again. As we were finishing up our dinner, I noticed a girl walking down the street who was bouncing up and down...I realized that I she was trying to look at me! And when I took a second look...it was my old college roommate Lindsey! I haven't seen her since we graduated!!! Anyway, she looked AWESOME! And we were so excited to have run into one another! We exchanged phone numbers, and this morning she sent me a text message just to say it was good to see each other and that we have to get together for a drink.
Anyway, afterwards I went to Fuji to visit Seymen...and managed to drag him to Barnes and Noble. We spent 45 minutes there. Thank GODD for Dan Brown and the DiVinci Code books. He's obsessed with him as an author, and he was able to keep himself entertained for the 45 minutes trying to decide whether to buy Deception Point or another one (not Angels and Deamons --He already read that one)...Anyway, it was a pretty productive trip and I was able to pick out two books, one of which I am VERY excited to read because it is a new book by one of my favorite authors. Unfortunately, my feet were pretty sore for some reason. Must have been walking around too much in the high heels during the day, that I couldn't really focus on choosing books. So I will need to make another trip to the bookstore before we leave for Tuscan.
Oh yeah, and we found out that our friend Eric who we were hoping to see, is unavoidably detained...So we won't see him this year. There's always NEXT YEAR!! He won't be able to come over to the resort and sit with us, drink margaritas, and get sunburned ;-) That also means, no cooking dinner at his place, and Beth getting all excited running to the patio, RIGHT through his screen door, breaking it...hehehehe :-) But it's OK. He knows that we can down to see him, and we loved it so much there that it is still worth it to go for a few days and just relax, get massages at the Elizabeth Arden Spa, and bathe in the sun :-)
So yesterday I was feeling all fustrated because I was bored. We are more than caught up on the two projects I'm working on, and "teasingly" I wrote to Seymen to ask if he thought it would be a good idea to tell my boss if he doesn't give me my new project that I'm going to quit again. Seymen suggested that I should hold off on that ultimatum...And it's a GOOD thing that I took his advice ;-) Keith e-mailed me not 30 minutes later, to tell me that a 2nd project had come down the line which I would also be allocated to...and the kick of is next week. This morning I came in to another e-mail saying that the first project is ALSO supposed to kick off next week. Should be interesting...Especially since the entire company is OUT OF THE OFFICE for the entire week the week after that ;-) But eitherway, I'm PSYCHEDDDDDDDD that I'm FINALLY getting my new project. It'll probably start up full force after Shutdown week. But it's sooooooo close that I can actually TASTE IT! ;-)
