I've been thinking of you lately blogger. I've been so busy with work & life in general I just haven't had time to talk to you.

My office recently moved. I'm quite happy about it. I have 2 cubes now. One with a view of Puget Sound & the other is the reception area. Yeah, everyone (that I don't work with) 'think' I'm the receptionist now. It kind of bothers me knowing that there are other people in the office there that think I'm a receptionist. I find myself (when appropriate) telling people that I'm the EVP's Assistant (for those of you that don't know me that really is my title).  But, back to the reception desk. It's really all my fault. I was the one that said "I hate going to a different floor only to find the reception gate down & I don't know where I'm going. We need someone sitting up front." "Great idea my boss says" So, now I'm up front. Which is fine, I have more contact with everyone & they come to see me now, not the other way around. Which I like a lot. Hopefully it'll lead to me being the 'Mother Hen' aka Office Manager. I need to create more work for myself & prove to the boss we need an Office Manager. She loved the idea when we originally talked about it, so now I'll just have to do it.

I just finished reading "Eat, Love, Pray". I really enjoyed it. If I was a writer I'd want to write a book like she did. I kept thinking to myself that i need to write more. Not that I even write, this is the most I've written in years. I like writing; putting my thoughts on paper. I wish I could type faster though, my brain talks faster than I type.  I had a journal back in the day when I was single. I remember going thru it & then throwing it out when I moved in with C. I wish I had kept it . . . but on the other hand, maybe it's fate I tossed it out. I'm sure there are things in there that I don't want or need to remember. :)

The weather has been shitty for ever here. I really can't stand it anymore. I didn't plant a garden this year; I may plant a fall garden once it gets a bit further into the season. C is working a lot of hours, just opened store # 3. I just keep thinking in my head that one day they'll franchise, we'll be rich & I won't have to work anymore. (Keep on thinking you say?) Positive thoughts - Positive thoughts. Then when we are rich & I don't have to work maybe I'll take a re-learn to write class. hmmmm - that could be fun.

It was lovely talking to you tonight. I promise that I'll try to keep in touch more often & practice writing more.  But I really need to go fold the towels, walk the dog & get ready for my guilty pleasure . . . Reality TV at it's finest, The Bachelorette.

What's been goin on with me you ask?

1. It’s been raining like crazy for like the last 20 months.
2. I had 2 coffees this am & 2 Krispy Kremes (what was I thinking??)
3. I’m eating some Tom Yum with tofu soup right now. It’s delish! (Even though I like the bus stop Pho instead; I had that yesterday for lunch. And yes the restaurant is inside the greyhound bus station over here. It's the BEST in the city)
4. Even though I took a pill last night I didn’t sleep well last night (Chris’s cell went off at like 2am huh?)
5. I feel out of sorts today . . . .
6. I really haven’t gardened yet this summer (due to the Vertigo & all of the frickin rain)
7. Someone (a slug I’m assuming) ate the cucumber I planted. What a bitch
8. The office is moving next week (at least we are moving to a better building & one of my desks has a view of the sound – Hell Yeah!)
9. I have to move & pack myself, and 2 of my 3 bosses next week. And I’m sure I’ll get stuck with packing the obnoxious closet where everyone dumps their crap.
10. I have a 7:30am appt for a MRI on Monday. That should be interesting since I’m claustrophobic.
11. I think I’m going to make grilled fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil sandwiches fro dinner tonight.
12. I need a real vacation.

~peace out~
