Year 4 Begins

I found the cutest leather-looking box at the store after work yesterday. It was perfect for DH's anniversary gift. Hooray.

He seemed to really like it. He liked what I put inside of it too.


Yay.

Carnival 2008.... OVER!

Last year we procrastinated until the last second, threw together a carnival, and made more money than ever before.

Having learned our lesson, we once again procrastinated until the last second, and once again made more money than ever before. $500 more than last year. Win!

Next year we plan to get the carnival ready a week after it happens. That is a guaranteed way to put ourselves over the top, yes?


(Thank goodness its over. It's fun, but a lot of work and stress. Boo for work and stress!)

All "Business", please?

Yesterday DH stood in front of the mirror staring at his curly locks and exclaimed that he needed a haircut.

"Maybe I'll grow a mullet!" he said with a glint in his eye.

I stood there speechless, trying to imagine him with that hair-style.

"No, no. It won't work.", he said, shaking his head. "It wouldn't be business-in-the-front, Party-in-the-back."

"It would be business-in-the-front, Afro-in-the-back."

And that was the end of his Mullet Dream.

p.s. I am pretty sure he was kidding. If he grows a real mullet, he will wake up one morning with a bald head.

Traditional 3rd Anniversary Gift: Leather

Where have the last three years gone? Honestly there is no answer. I remember every milestone that has occurred since September 17, 2005, yet it seems like it was just yesterday.

Odd.

I'm not a traditional person. In fact, though I claim to be non-rebellious, I tend to go the opposite of traditional in a lot of ways. But up to this point there was always something about each anniversary that held fast to tradition and since it amuses me, I think I might just keep up the trend.

Year one: Paper. The DH and I signed 30 years of our income away by purchasing the Haven. Wonderful decision. We can afford to live there on our meager salaries. Imagine how comfortable we'll be when DH finishes school in a couple of years? Woot!

Year two: Cotton. I won't go into the details of year two again since they were an over-share the first time. But for anyone who wants the intimate details, here ya go!

Year three: That's today. DH presented me with a card the size of our kitchen table this morning. It was full of sweet messages and candy. Mmm... Oh, and some Neocash cards. Anyone who plays Neopets knows how nice that is. Win! I had to rush to work so I won't be springing my gifts on the DH until this evening. I'm still stumped about how to work in the leather though. All sorts of ideas are swimming in my head, some more kinky than others. But I wish I could just have one brilliant idea occur to me that I was thrilled with. I have all day here at work to think of something. Something amazing... or at least unexpected. Hrmm... I may or may not share what I come up with. Will depend on just how spicy it really was. Yowsa!!

Happy Anniversary DH!

Ms.B

That's How You Know...

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...



Thank you, DH!

Last week in Operations Meeting, the Boss Man said we all needed to start being more professional and start being on time to our meetings. The following two days both he and the assistant administrator came late and left early from meetings that are supposed to be mandatory.

Today, when 1:30 rolled around and the meeting was supposed to begin there were only four of us in the room. The administrative leaders were not amongst them. They came five minutes later.

I promise I am typing this with a huge smile on my face. It's all I can do not to giggle out loud and distract my co-workers. Good grief!!

Silly Care Center.

Blinded!

There are some visuals that you want OUT OF YOUR HEAD! Moments ago I experienced just such a horror.


I had pulled out all the furniture and boxes around the moldy desk in our office and cleared the storage bins on top as well. The floor-guy here at the care center was kneeling on the floor scrubbing the mold with some anti-bacterial cleaner.

I turned to see the progress he was making and instead got an eye-full of butt crack.


Scarred. For. Life.

G. ROSS

We discovered black mold growing beneath and behind the extra desk in our office. No wonder we're all trying not to get sick (and semi-failing!)

Blech! What a mess. This building is trying to kill us... again!

Long Weekend

Thanks to the Labor Day holiday weekend I had three days off from work. DH and I decided that it was best to do all the errands on Saturday morning so that we could just relax from that point on. What a brilliant idea. Smart thinking, DH!

Jump-start

I'm sitting here on my lunch break at work with a huge urge to blog. But when I sit here with the "new post" screen open my mind is a total blank. I figure if I begin typing there will eventually be a blog entry here. I can't guarantee any quality or entertainment will follow... but by golly, look! I'm blogging!

Our facility carnival is less than 2 weeks away. Mischief and I need to finish up some craft items for the booth. We've slacked this year compared to carnivals in the past. My craft room at home is almost complete and I know I'll have some fun working on those crafty items once I get myself motivated to start them. Hrm, yet another motivation issue. I just need to start PAINTING and then I'll get into it.

Maybe I just need to find motivation in general. I have a case of the lazies!


Ms.B

Do as I say...

.... not as I do.


Boss Man (Wednesday Staff Meeting): I am putting my foot down. We need to get serious about our meetings. Staff need to be there on time. These meetings are mandatory. And I don't want to hear any cell phones ringing in the middle of the meetings either. It looks really bad when someone leaves on a phone call and doesn't come back. I'm pretty sure most phone calls can wait. Let's step up the professionalism!



Any guesses on WHO it was during today's General Staff meeting that showed up late, then left a few minutes later when his phone rang? Yes, and he never did return to the meeting...

I know he's the boss. So he's exempt from the rules and all. But when you say one thing, and do another, it doesn't exactly reinforce what you said. Does it?


Ms.B

I'm Luvin It

DH was chatting with friends on his computer a few minutes ago and suddenly began playing McDonalds related songs on his speakers. "Bada ba ba ba." Then he put on his shoes and wandered from the room, out the front door and drove away.

I see a McMuffin in my future.
