Yesterday started off great, and ended well...needing advise. I came to work wearing a black dress that is very comfortable. I was in the mood for comfort seeing that work is getting to that super stressful stage before a show. I walked to my desk and shortly after Chrystal came to see me. Chrystal is our receptionist and one of my friends here - she cracks me up! Anywho, she told me that she liked my underwear. I was a bit confused, as she proceeded to tell me that she could see my black underwear through my black dress. GREAT! Thank goodness I have a fleese at my desk that covers my ass when I wear it. At lunch time, I made a pit stop home and put a slip on. I hate slips - but hey, my ass was no longer visable!
As the day proceeded, I needed a bit of good advice, and my father is good, especially when it comes to work. I felt a bit screwed over and dad talked me through it. Thanks dad! After that, the parents and I hit up Hard Times Cafe for some wings and chili (i got the usual three way and they like the four way). Good way to end a Wednesday!
Well, I am off to my bosses office - once again. Now I just need to put the smile on my face and be that cheery person he likes and proceed with my day!
Have a good one all. But I am going to leave you with something I read by Einstein that I liked:
"The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or of joy. The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past connot be shared with the present. Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone." - Einstein's Dreams

Happy Hump Day!
This week is going slow, but at the same time it is going fast. Every morning I have been waking up thinking it is Thursday or Friday, then come to the realization it is Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I am looking forward to the weekend.
Last night I spend a couple hours working out the details for the show directory and the press room for next months show. Getting those details working out made me feel a bit better coming into work. However, I still have a long list of things to do. It keeps me busy that is for sure.
On my drive to work, I caught up with my mom for coffee talk. It is our thing we do on our drives to the office. She was telling me that a mutual friend was asking how I was doing. Mom informed her I was stressed, since I have our largest show in a month. Then our friend replied back - at least she has a job that is keeping her busy and she isn't doing the same thing day after day after day. This got me thinking. Yes, I do have a job that keeps me on my toes, and I don't have much down time. And yes the other woman's daughter has a job that is very redundant. When I get home from work - I am ready to crash and go to bed because I am exhausted from my day. My friend, she has the opportunity to go out with friends. She may be envious of my job, but in the same field, I am envious of her because she is living the social life that I miss more than anything. My social life is going home to Bart and working while he sleeps next to me. We are given an option, I went for the job that keeps me very busy; my friend went for the job where she can still have then busy life outside of work. We all have to do what is right for us, and in the middle, if we are not happy - we have the opportunity to still switch it up!
Alright - off to the day of work.
Chin-up, keep smiling, and remember - people make the job, the job doesn't make the job.

Lions and Tigers and Bears - Oh My
Work is beginning to get burry. I have so many projects sitting on my desk. Our Maritime show is quickly approaching, and I feel like I am lost on the madness. Between making sure all the exhibitors, barters, and speakers have all the correct information and then making sure I have everything in order that I need and my boss needs – I am just lost in it all. The hours I am putting in is killing me. In the beginning I thought I was doing so good, my organization was perfect, and I had everything under control. Now I have deadlines to meet, the show directory to design and everything needs to be done asap. Anywho, I am tired.
Get as much done until
6:00
?? – 6am sleep
repeat
This will be my routine until show time. Hopefully my 3 pages of things to do will be better by Monday. I would love to feel like I am on top of it again. Either that or not be tired. You pick.
Oh – and this that when you ask a guy to do something, he automatically thinks you are interested in him? Why can't he think it is a friend thing? I never did get that.

Yet another Sunday
This past week was a long one. It is not fun going back to work after a week off. I am in above my head with things to do. It is that time again, about a month before the show - and everything is due.
Friday night was the Dixie Chicks concert - lets just say, I am glad I didn't pay for the tickets. But I had fun non the less. The opening band only had one good song - My name in Batman, but you can call me Bob. That was great. There other songs, not so much. The group that was in the suite made the entire evening a blast. We had to turn the event into something fun - and we did it!
Yesterday I slept till 1. I haven't done that, in I don't know the last time I slept that late. I needed it - I was exhausted from the week. But that meant that I got nothing done yesterday. Today, however, I was up nice a early, as usual, and I am putting my rooms back together - finally. My spare bedroom is a pig pen right now. I can't stand it anymore. I went to Target to get the felt pads for under my furniture, so my newly refinished floor doesn't get scrached and I have my work cut out for me. It will look good when it is done - so that is well worth it.
I will post a pic later so you may see my finished floors! Very exciting - i know. (it is to me though!)

Family Vacation 2006
It is safe to say, while on vacation, we ate extremely well. Tyipically, at Lake George, we have dinner competitions - see who can make the best dinner. This year, we changed things up a bit. We had teams of two, each person having two nights, and the nights were theme nights.
Nights as followed:
Monday - Italian - Kyle and Mom (Salmon Pasta)
Tuesday - Adirondack - Dad and myself (Oscar's Port Roast topped on a veggie filled salad)
Wednesday - Rochester - Mom and myself (Garbage Plates)
Saturday - Southern - Kyle and Dad (Oscar's ribs, chicken - both topped with Crazy Jerry's hot sauce - roasted corn, and garlic smashed taters)
In the above picture, for the Rochester meal, Mom and I made the infamous garbage plate with Bill Gray's hot sauce. Kyle brought the hot sauce, since we all know Maryland doesn't have Bill Grays! (Thanks Kyle)
Crazy Jerry's hot sauce - this is a must have. Six of us tried and and six of us absolutly loved it!!
This is the family, plus Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve enjoying our last dinner in the Adirondacks, which happened to be Southern night. I don't think we had any food left over!
For Adirondack night, dad and I decided to make seafood stuffed mushrooms as the appetizer. These will definatly be created again! We used ritz crackers, green onions, shrimp, and chopped stems of the mushrooms on top for decoration.
It was a fabulous week, and I am sorry it is over. Now I am back to work wishing I was back on the beach starring off into the mountains thinking about nothing! Sunday began the count down for next year. Time to start the planning of the meals, will it be themes and teams again? Or will it go back to the competition where everyone is on their own?? All I can say, thanks to that hat from which we drew the names for teams this year - for it didn't put Kyle and I together!
