yeah, it's been awhile!
I've been pinged by a few of you asking "Are you ever going to blog again?"
Well, it's not an original excuse, but it's the truth. I've been busy! Truly busy. Not too busy to keep reading everything all of you are writing about, and occasionally comment. Just too busy to give blogging any real thought.
I've noticed a few of you doing a meme that was started by Avitable, and that I found over at Kapgar's. Maybe this will get my juices flowing to start writing again since I really miss it.
Here's my take on things...
My favorite age: 40 – truly the best year of my life… so far!
My best friend: Stacie and Groove – sometimes they both know more about me than I know about me.
My celebrity crush: Sean Connery – yummy!
My defining characteristic: I’m told it’s my blue eyes.
My most evil moment: Do you think I’d honestly put that in writing? Those who were with me know, and they’ll never tell either.
My favorite food: That’s a hard one. If I had to pick only one I’d say enchiladas, but any and all pasta comes in close second.
My grossest injury: The bloodiest was when I sliced the tip of my finger off while shaving potatoes on a mandolin, but I think the bruise on my ass from slipping off the stairs going out my back door was the ugliest.
My biggest hatred: People who whine, ask for advice and then never do anything to help themselves.
My most illegal activity: I plead the 5th on this one.
My need for justice: What goes around, comes around.
My most knowledgeable field: Having fun!
My life's goal: To quote an unknown author, "Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."
My mother's influence: Being inquisitive.
My nerdiest point: Having the clothes in my closet sorted and grouped by color.
My oldest memory: Coming home from my Grandmother’s house on Thanksgiving when I was 5 and finding that someone had broken in and turned the house “upside down” taking stuff. Didn’t sleep right for months.
My perfect date: Date? What’s that?
My unanswered question: Why with the power of the Death Star do we not have a tray that is fucking dry?
My random fact: I haven’t been on an airplane in over 4 years.
My stupidest decision: Quitting college to work full-time after getting my Associates degree.
My favorite television show: Survivor. Season premiere is tomorrow!
My style of underwear: VS thongs.
My favorite vegetable: Corn – any form – and tomatoes.
My weakest trait: I’m with Kevin on this one. Delegating tasks. I like to be in control.
My X-men power: I know nothing about X-men, so I had to look this one up. I’ll go with telekinesis like Jean Grey.
My strongest yearning: To live happy.
My moment of Zen: Relaxing with friends.

when the working day is done, oh girls... they wanna have fun
The past month has been a complete beeyotch, workwise. I spend nine to twelve hours a day working, most of those hours in meetings, and then trying frantically to catch up with all the work that didn't get done during the aforementioned snooze sessions. By the time the weekend rolls around I'm faced with mountains of household chores that need done, a yard turning into a jungle, and a little man that wants to suck up as much time with his "old, fun" mommy as he can.
One of the yearly requirements for all employees of The Winnebago is to complete a series of mandatory training. They make it very convenient for us by providing the classes on-line so we can do them whenever, and wherever, we find the time. Time is the one thing I don't have nearly enough of, so... Do you see the problem here?
The other day management sends us a gentle reminder to complete our classes that reads something like this:
Uh, okay. So what you're saying is we shouldn't need to pay attention in the meeting therefore nullifying our need for attending in the first place? Okay, yeah!
For the record, I won't be getting to any of those "mandatory trainings" anytime soon. In fact next week, I won't be getting to very much work at all. I am taking a few hours off (I say hours cuz I'll still be monitoring email periodically and attending required meetings) to spend some much needed girl time with her majesty. She'll be here in two days. W00t!!
We've kept the schedule pretty open at this point but I can assure you there will be a lot of Rock Band/Guitar Hero playing, beer drinking, movie watching, pool playing, yakking, smoking, visiting the carnies, eating, shopping and otherwise girlish fun for 5 straight days. Because when the working day is done, oh girls... they wanna have fun. Oh girls, just wanna have fun!

taking them during boring meetings kills two birds with one stone."
