It's snowing...

AGAIN!

So, I officially decided...like three days ago...

I'M READY FOR SPRING!!! NOW.

My Birthday

So my favorite holiday all year has come and gone. (sniff sniff) I had the best day! I actually started celebrating on Saturday with a Murdery Mystery Party, which was a BLAST! The slide show is below to prove that-ha!

Yesterday morning we had cake for breakfast at the office. It was YUMMY. Then we went to lunch at Senor Tequilas, where I was forced to wear the sombrero, dance with the Mexican employees while they played the guitar and sang to me, and stare at a shot of tequila (I refused to drink it). Dancing in circles with a sombrero on your head is harder than it looks.

I pretty much got nothing done at work (other than a few things that were unavoidable) except read MySpace comments, respond to emails, and answer phone calls all wishing me a Happpy Birthday. Good times were had by all...well, mostly me.

Ate dinner at Outback with my family after work, in which I consumed an entire loaf of chocolate bread with chocolate sauce by myself while I waited for them to show up. It was delicious. And yes, I pigged out. It was my Birthday, who cares? :)

Presents and blackberry cobbler at Mom's after dinner. Mike got me the Season 2 DVDs of "The Office." Gosh, I just love that show! I ended my wonderful day watching 4 episodes before bed.

I had the BEST day ever!

So, 364 more days until my favorite holiday comes back around!! :) Woo hoo!

Food

So, I hate it when I'm hungry for lunch and I don't want to eat what I brought and NOTHING else sounds good. Because when you finally settle on something, you don't get satisfied.

I'm bored with food. Someone needs to invent something to replace food. I'm bored with the fast food selection, I'm bored with the chain options, and I'm bored with the grocery store.

Ugh.

Countdown

4.5 days until the BEST day in the world!!!

Feel free to send cards, flowers, presents, and money to my home address.

Thank you very much. ;)

Hello Sun!

Welcome back Sunshine!! I have missed you. Please stay out and melt away all this stinkin' ice before the snow blows through this weekend.

Thank you. That is all.

Your Friend,
Amy :)

Brrr...it's freezing and I'm surrounded by idiots!

After a weekend full of ice, sleet, and freezing rain, there is a beautiful blanket of white...only it doesn't leave prints when you walk on it...that's of course, because it's ice. A solid layer of ice.

I am always reassured that I live in a world with idiots whenever it snows or ices. There's always the 4 wheel drive vehicles that think they are invincible and come whizzing by you while you are blazing to work doing a record speed of 8 miles per hour. Seriously. What is wrong with people??

It was, in fact, just this morning on my stroll to work that I saw desperation...pure desperation. A woman crossing the intersection heading over to the smoke shop wearing only capris and a windbreaker. Really? Now, I've never smoked cigarettes, and I don't know what it's like to be addicted to something like that, but I would think that if I ever was that desperate, I would put on more clothes than just capris and a windbreaker to take a hike in 17 degree weather. People are idiots.

So, at the conclusion of my 4 day weekend being stranded in my own home, I have nothing productive to show for it. There's really only so much TV watching/internet surfing that one can do before maxing out with boredom.

Note to self: Stock up on good groceries and snack food before the next ice storm blows through.

My trip to San Antonio

I went to San Antonio Tuesday and Wednesday for a quick business trip.

On my trip I...
showed an elderly gentleman how to turn off his Razor phone in exchange for a piece of gum on our flight.
successfully completed 6 Sudokus.
listened to a man constantly hock up lugies for an entire one hour flight.
seriously considered throwing things at said man to make him stop, but thought better of it when I played scenarios in my mind about how the end result could end up with one or both of us injured.
ordered a plate of nachos for lunch that was big enough to feed an entire herd of cattle.
had a few meetings (hence the reason for the trip).
watched the "People's Choice Awards."
learned what "Rainbow Air" was (a cleaning machine a hotel uses to filter/clean the air in the guestroom).
had another meeting.
ate at the Petroleum Club for the first time.
had one enjoyable flight (out of 4).
thought my head was going to explode with a combination of a head cold and the peak altitude of the airplane.
was thankful when I hit Tulsa.

It was a great trip!

Achoo!

I heard on the radio last week that there haven't been very many flu epidemics this season. Why? Because everyone is passing around the stinkin' head cold instead! Myself included. This is the second...that's right, the second time I've had to fight off this bad boy. Quite frankly, I'm tired of battling with it. It's been going on nearly a week, and what do I have to show for it: three used Kleenex boxes, a very dry and raw nose, a sore throat and mouth from having to breathe through my mouth instead of my nose, and no friends because I have scared them all off with my germs.

It officially sucks.

So, I called the doctor's office today to see if they would call me in a prescription to fight this thing off without me coming in to see him. Of course, they wouldn't. They want my stinkin' money, so they are making me come in for an appointment so they can tell me something I already know: I have a head cold. :( Boo.

All that to say this: I'm ready for summer. Head colds suck.

Remember me?

Let me introduce myself...I'm Amy...the person who is supposed to be writing this blog. It seems I've been MIA for 3 weeks. Sheesh. My apologies.

Anyway, I'm back. Thanks for missing me.
