Not-so-sunny Sunday

Hello Hello!

So it's Sunday, a little after 3, and I'm sprawled out on my mattress watching Project Runway and downing Pepsi and kettle chips. Rough life today, huh?? I do not feel motivated to do a single thing today. I havent even been on the phone today, just not even in the mood for much. The sun's not out either so that doesn't really help.

Since my last update, my week has been pretty busy with work as usual. The bosses talked to Sheena about her work ethics....and of course she didn't TELL us that's what the meeting was about, but it was. She's sort of straightened up since then. Sort of. She still is screwing up a lot and leaving us to pick up the slack. I'm not really sure what's going to happen with all of that. I can't see her being there much longer. But regardless, I did turn in my request for vacation for Christmas. We'll see how that turns out - I asked Shelby, and she confirmed that Sheena did not turn in her request - but I don't want to look like that sneaky girl going behind Sheena's back. Yes, that's exactly what I did but still.

Last night, Irene took me out again. We went to Dave & Busters but all the games were down so we went to the roof to drink at the bar, where a bazillion people met us out. Her boyfriend's coworkers, their girlfriends, her best friends from high school - wow just a LOT of people. I'm not sure why, but we all left there and went to the W, which is a classy dance club basically. Girls in dresses, guys have a dress-code....and we were CERTAINLY under-dressed, but we were okay enough to get in. This place was only open for an hour after we got there, and waiting to get a drink and walk through the crowd ate up about 45 minutes of that hour. So we went to ANOTHER bar, which is at the Fisherman's Wharf....which I think is a restaurant during the day?? That was open til 4 am....HOLY COW. People started filtering out a little after 3, then there was just a few of us (trust me, I was asleep on my feet but Irene was my ride, and everyone else's Designated Driver). So I think eventually everyone got rounded up, dropped off, and I got to bed by 4:30am...zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! I got my 7 hours of sleep though and was a happy girl so it wasn't that bad. Thank goodness for lazy Sundays! And yes - I'm sure by now someone's thinking "wow, 4 a.m., you must've been TRASHED - tsk tsk" but I promise, I was not. Nor was anyone I was with. I was pleased to realize these people aren't the typical 20-something alcoholics that race to see who can down more beer and get trashed fastest. Everyone was out for a good time, good food, good drinks and good conversation. I had a VERY nice night out because of that. Awesome to know people CAN be mature when they go out - so rest easy, I surround myself with good people.

I think for the MOST part, I'm feeling better since being sick with this cold thing. I'm still dealing with congestion in my chest, but I can breathe most of the time now without medication. Unfortunately, I'm thinking I have OTHER ailments bothering me (what's up, Hawaii??? Can't I just stay healthy for more than a week at a time?!) but I have a doctor's appointment Monday so HOPEFULLY I can get a handle on everything once and for all. And - I have Monday off because Irene is taking vacation days at the end of the week for a wedding, so I am working her Saturday for her, which gives me tomorrow off. Yay! But somehow, in the month of March, I think I'm always working a weekend day, and one work week I am working 6 days...not sure how I did that. Ooops.

Alright - ran out of kettle chips... ;) Time to go find something else to snack on, and I think I'll work on reading my book for a bit. That slideshow that always goes on the left? I've added more pictures so take a second and look if you want - or if it's too many pictures, don't worry about it ;) I know I tend to write long blogs, let alone making you sit through over 100 pictures. Actually it's only about 25! :) And yes, they're real, and I took those myself. Give it time - it won't be working immediately but look for it!

Hope your weekend went well!! Love and miss you

me.
