Restlessness
This morning I woke up so late. My mom had to call me and get me out of bed because I was going to miss work if I didn't get moving! She sent me off with a cup of tea that she made for me while I was getting dressed. I ran out to my car (in the pouring rain). I put my sweatshirt over the top of the mug so the rain wouldn't get into my yummy tea. Well, by running to my car, I ended up spilling the tea all over the sweater. So I headed up the driveway and onto my usual morning route to work. When I hit 590, it was raining like crazy but still, as usual I moved to the left lane intent on passing the slower cars (because I was late you know?) Well...over the mini-hill, I realized that the lights in front of me were all brake lights!! So I had to slam on my own brakes to avoid smashing into everyone else. After sitting in the 590 parking lot for 15 minutes (still not past the Empire Blvd. exit!) I ended up calling Jess at work to let her know I was late. I finally made it to work and ran from my car to the door...but as I was running, I realized I forgot my swipey card. Great...There was a women going in but she was too far away to hear me call to her. So I stood outside in the rain until the next person to drive up could open the door for me. Luckly it wasn't too long. The worst part about it is that I had my swipey card in my purse the WHOLE day, and I didn't even notice until DINNER tonight!!!
Anyway, even after the rough start to the day it was a really great day. I had a little bit of trouble focusing. Jess was sitting at my cube most of the day, so we could work on our project together...but we were both slap happy so it was kind of hard to stay on topic ;-) but we pulled together and got our work done, with even an hour to spare!
Oh my god. Golden palace is on TV right now, and Stan died! I have to go watch to see what happened! BRB! Don't go anywhere OK?!?!
OK, I'm back. False alarm. He isn't really dead. Anyway...where was I? Oh yeah, Jess and I being slap happy at work. So Jena has been pretty busy at work and we took a few breaks to go over and visit her, eat some animal crackers, make her start laughing, you know the usual. Well, after much discussion we've decided to start Girls Nights. Not sure exactly which nights, but we're going to have dinner nights, happy hour nights, shopping nights, and sleep over nights once in a while --on weekdays :-) So we can have enough time to talk and not have to "go back to work" :-) I'm psyched for that. I've been missing my Girlie nights :-) I LOVEEEEEEE girlie nights. When I was in Texas we had Girlie Nights with Shelly and Liz at Liz's house, and then of course GNO in New Hampshire with Maki and Erin. So, I'm very very happy to have Girls night reinstated. Jena has even suggested that we should go to the Roost (Country bar in Rochester) and do Thursday night Line Dancing! (They teach you on Thursdays)
Anyway, after work I taught English to my turkish student. It's been a while because last week I had to cancel Wednesday night due to babysitting Michael, and the past three weekends I've been out of town...so we had a lot of catching up to do. Afterwards, we all went out to Shiki for dinner. It was a night for couples at dinner. Chau and Thuan, Nate and his friend Jessa, Shaemus and his girlfriend (Toni I think?), and Seymen and I. It was actually a really nice dinner and everyone was really into trying the desserts :-))) That's my FAVORITE!! We had Mochi ice cream, ginger ice cream, and chocolate cake (that wasn't chocolate?) hehhee :-) Sooooo yummmyyyy!!
Anyway, I better get going off to bed. I have some more reading to do. I'm almost done with my book. I don't want to be up all night....again...hehehe. I was up till 2AM last night reading my book. I couldn't put it down. :-) OK! Nighty night!
