Yup.

Does anyone else have this problem???

Classy Fridays

So I meant to write this post on Friday, but somehow after the gym, going to my sister's for sushi seemed like a much better idea.  Lucky for all of you, I've decided to still write it! haha!

So on Thursday, I was told by my new work BFF that we were starting "Classy Fridays".  This summer HR decided to let all the employees wear casual clothes to work, every day.  It's been great, I get to wear jeans everyday.  However, some people are starting to take advantage of this and are wearing short shorts and club-ish dresses to work.  And while that is definitely a whole different blog topic, I can't help but think what exactly is work appropriate when it comes to shorts and skirts for the office?  I mean, don't normal people think, oh, my entire thigh is showing, maybe I shouldn't wear this work??

Anywayssssss.....

BFF informed me that since we can "dress down" every day, let's class it up and wear something wicked cute and classy on Fridays.  After dragging my feet, she convinced me this would be a great idea. Plus, then I was able to wear this wicked cute polka dress I got, and hadn't had a real reason to wear yet.

Perfect!

Until I woke up Friday morning and it was cloudy and 65 degrees.  Mother effer.  Since I'm at work wayyy before BFF, I debated texting her letting her know that I was wearing jeans, but I decided against it.  She was so excited about this, and what the hell, I really wanted to wear that dress!

I get to work and BFF walks in.  In jeans.  And a freaking sweatshirt.  Not only did she completely abandon Classy Friday, but she was probably wearing the scrubbiest outfit I've ever seen her in.  You've got to be kidding me.  She apologized, said something about it "being cold" and blah blah blah.

All day I rocked that dress.  And while I was freezing, because of course the A/C was blasting, I got a lot of compliments about how amazing I looked.   BFF has told me that next Friday she PROMISES to dress up.  I won't be there, but she doesn't need to know that..  ;)

Pigtails

One of the women that works for our HR department came into the lobby today.

She's pretty.  Blonde hair, has great clothes, a fun silly personality.  

...and she had that beautiful hair in braided pigtails.

BRAIDED PIGTAILS.

This got me thinking... how old is too old for pigtails?  According to her facebook, which you know I stalked, she's 36.

I say that's wayyyy too old. 

If that's not too old, is it work appropriate?  I say no.

So I need your thoughts and comments.  Am I right?!

The Khaki Pants

 As many of you may know, I'm weird.  I find khaki pants to be, well..... not for me.  And give me a water bottle, it doesn't matter how tight the cap is screwed on, or what kind of "no-leak" bottle it is, I will find a way to empty that entire thing in my purse.

And knowing those 2 things, makes this story even more comical.

Oh, and I have I mentioned it's Tuesday?  A Tuesday before a holiday, so it should be an easy day, right?!

I woke up and thought I was having a heart attack.  Or a stroke.  Or something.  I dunno, my chest hurt and it hurt to breathe.  Of course that's not going to have me calling out of work, or complaining on facebook that I'm "sick" (seriously people, I don't care about your "cold" and how "you're dying", meh!)  Anywho, I felt weird and I think that's how I ended up wearing khakis to work.  Now, I'm not against other people wearing khakis (kind of), it's just that... well, I look absolutely retarded in them.  You may be wondering why I even own a pair, and it was forced upon me. I had to buy some for my trip for the trade show I worked over Memorial Day.  And while I paired with a navy top to match my 4th of July nails (I'm so patriotic!), I look like I belong in a country club.  But hey, that's just me. 

So imagine my surprise when I get to work and I sit down in my chair and notice a huge wet spot on my hip.  What?! Where did that even come from?!  Oh whatever, let me just take my breakfast and lunch out of my bag....

YUP.

My water bottle decided to empty itself in my bag.  Again.  And to show you how impressive that feat is, here's the water bottle I rock.  You have to bite the little thing at top and suck for water to come out.  (My brother in law got it for me after I had spilled water all over my bag the first 50 times.)  

Here's the disastrous fail of my bag and the chair.  And me.  Yup.  I dumped the bag out, put it down on my lap and managed to get my thighs soaked as well.  I'm a mess.  This is proof that I should never wear khakis.  And maybe I should never put a water bottle in my bag, ever.

Not to mention today was the first day in history I decided I was going to bring  in Rice Krispies in for breakfast.  I scooped some out and threw them in a little baggie.  Have you ever seen a sandwich baggie full of mushy rice krispies? it's pretty nasty... and upsetting, that was my breakfast!!

 

On the upside, I can breathe without it hurting.  :)

Have a great 4th, everyone! :)

Happy Hot July!

Happy July Everyone!!  I should apologize for slacking again, but I think we should all just assume that during the summer I'm going to slack.  That way when I'm actually good and post, we can all be happy and excited :)  YAY!

It's hot.  It's been hot.  And I loooooooooove it.  We all know I'm a beach bum , so the heat and summer makes me happy.  It's so hot that my iced coffee can't even handle it.  

NG  came in early (shocker, I know) to beat the heat and get in the A/C.  I would have been annoyed but she picked up some bagels from a local bakery for us as a treat.  Look at the freaking size of these things!!

 She's definitely trying to make me fat.  

With it being a holiday week, I think we're off to a good start.  I have no meetings to deal with, tomorrow is Tuesday, but it's really like a Friday and I'm off to the beach for the 4th.  Although, I did get assigned a bunch of "projects" since BossBoss thinks it'll be a slow week, and as you can tell, uhh yeah, definitely got started on those...  ;) haha!  Unfortunately, phones never stop ringing, so I don't see she thinks I'm going to do them, so oh well.

For all those who aren't on vacation, I hope your week is easy!  And for all those who are on vacation - like my sister - MEH! not fair.  SO jealous!
