Countdowns, Desperateness, & Other Randomness

hi all! a few random notes today... sorry not anything too interesting to write about.

--in preparation for the upcoming profit sharing check (5 weeks! woohoo!), I just ordered a little gift certificate from the points I've earned at MyPoints. And if you don't know what that is, don't worry about it, although it is a pretty cool little service. But anyway-- of COURSE I ordered it to MACY'S!!!! wooohooooo profit sharing is almost here!!!! :) now, I already have it spent about 10 ways but oh well... anyway, that's the first of two things I'm counting down to.

--and the second is SAN ANTONIO!!! and did I tell you all that we're flying out on St. Patrick's Day???? again, WOOOOOHOOOO!!! and since my boss told Steph that he would be mad if we didn't drink on the plane, I'd say this is gonna be a kick ass trip. yes, he was probably kidding, but whatever! :) I also got some tips today on where to go in the city... if anyone else has been there and has ideas, let me know! We'll be working all day, but this isn't a huge show, so hopefully we'll have plenty of time to clown around too. 7 weeks to go!!!

--well, there is ANOTHER new Desperate Housewives on Sunday, which will be three weeks in a row! This show is wonderfully mindless Sunday night guilty fun. It'll be fun to see what is uncovered on this one-- What do you think will happen this week? Who do you think was in the box? Who still has the biggest secret? And most importantly, how long do you think the producers can keep up the mystery? :) If you watch, post an opinion!

--are all of you getting snow and ice? well, we don't get everything as bad down here than as at home (which was a big factor in my moving south), but man the roads get icy. And watching Virginia people try to cope with even a dusting of snow is crazy, so I'm just trying to stay alive driving down here! And now my pretty car is going to get all dirty again! boooooo. anyway, if you all have snow and ice and all that, be careful and safe, okay?

--nope, I'm not even touching on the inauguration :Þ

-- on Saturday I am getting the rest of my new people out of training, which is going to officially double my team since I lost one to a promotion recently. And guess what! I'm not going to be the youngest anymore!!!! I am going to have a guy working for me that's actually younger than me! I am excited!!!! :) So far all the newbies seem cool, so this should be fun.

--so, for those of you asking, yes, phone tag boy and I are, well, still playing phone tag. this has been going on for almost two months now. and the weird part to me is that he's still calling! we've only really talked twice; it's not like he knows me all that well! should it freak me out that he is already that interested that he is trying this hard?! it kind of does...

--and last but not least, I'll leave you with my favorite recent quote, which seems to describe my frustration with a lot of things lately: "Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at." -- Carlos A. Urbizo

okay off to watch The Apprentice and plan my corporate takeover. hahaha. later all.
