Observations and Other Things

This was an interesting week. Of course, there was Valentine's Day. Chris sent me the most beautiful flowers. There were red roses, pink Stargazer lilies, purple iris, and purple Matsumoto aster mix with red carnations. It was so pretty. Then, we went out to dinner at the Melting Pot. It was fabulous as always. Then, I got a $100 gift card to Studio Branca! Yay. It was a very nice day.

The announcement was finally made at work this week. Basically, myself and my boss are moving to a new group. As in, a brand new group that we're developing. So that's exciting. My old group is going under a new VP, who isn't all that popular with most of them. There was mixed reaction to the announcement. Some people have already decided they're going to look for new opportunities, and some people have just decided to have a pissy attitude about the whole situation. I'm excited though, and feel that it will really improve on how we run the business.

Wednesday we had our dining out group. Review coming soon. Enough said.

For about the past 8 days, we haven't been home before like 10pm. All this week I've been exhausted so I decided not to do a damn thing this weekend. Last night we rented 4 movies and vegged at home. We did get into a little argument with the lady at Blockbuster about this deal that they're running. Rent 1 new release and 1 non new release, 2 sodas and a pack of M&M's for $10. So, we rented Corpse Bride, Enron: Smartest Guys In the Room, Mr & Mrs Smith, and The Aristocrats. The lady told us we weren't eligible. Well, we argued that Mr. & Mrs. Smith technically isn't a current release. It was released in Nov. Anyway, she told us that ALL MOVIES ALONG THE WALL are new releases. We then asked her why Silence of the Lambs was considered a new release, as well as several old movies that were Academy Award winners. Anyway, she then said, "well, except those." Anyway the whole situation wasn't that big of a deal, but I'm a firm believer in the fact that if you're going to make an excuse, it better not be a lame excuse that I can find holes in. Period. But, I didn't feel like pushing the issue so we just paid $28 for our 4 movies and left.

That just reminded me of something that happened to me this week. Tuesday I was driving home from work, and I was on 270. It was bumper to bumper typical traffic and the car in front of me apparently didn't understand the concept of traffic. Soooo, she got out of her car and started yelling at me. She was little and old. It was odd. I just stared straight ahead and was a tiny bit freaked out. Then, part of me thought it was funny. Still a little freaked out, but at the same time, mildly entertained.

In other news, I leave for my cruise in 63 days. Yay. My little sister turns 21 next week. That's exciting. Unfortunately I won't see her for her birthday because our weekend is booked for next weekend. Friday we're going to see the PBR, Saturday we're going to Mardi Gras and Chris's work party, and Sunday, I forgot what we're doing.

Today, I'm still in my PJ's and I'm catching up on TiVo. That's all I plan on doing. Well, actually I might go out and get something to eat. That is all.
