Playing catch up, again

I'm such a slacker when it comes to writing sometimes. To recap the last few weekes:

• I bought some flowers at Lowe's the last two weekends and have planted them. I'm afraid I waited too long to plant some of my veggies from seed, so I may have to wait till fall to plant some of them. I do have 6 pepper plants in the ground and hopefully we get some tomato plants this weekend.
  
• I really enjoyed Houston. It was a great experience for me and I met many other career services people from around the country. The weather was a little warm though!
  
• I volunteered at Special Olympics last Friday with the office. I loved it and the athletes were awesome kids.
  
• Mom came down on Friday and left Monday. It was really good to see her.
• We went to Texas on Saturday for Tanya's wedding. It was a nice wedding and we had a good time.
  
• Monday I took mom to works so she could see my office and meet my coworkers.
  
• Not much has been happening this week except Greg has been gone most of it. He got home last night at 11 and left at 5:30 this morning. I hope to see him tomorrow night at some point. This is his really busy season, so we don't see each other very much. :(
• We don't have any big plans for this weekend except sleeping. Greg has to work on Saturday, so I think I may go to Mulhall Days with Jess then.
  
• It has been beautiful weather here, but of course it is suppose to rain all weekend.
  

I've fallen in love

Thanks Courtney for telling me about it! :)

Enjoy - don't laugh too hard

Coming off the sugar high

Let me tell you, I love my co workers. I couldn't ask for a better place to work. Today we had a dessert party for our graduating graduate student worker. This equals lots of sweets and me being on a sugar high. The day started off with donuts. Donuts Friday has for some reason become donuts any day of the week. I think our office alone keeps Daylight Donuts in business. The sugar is wearing off and I'm going to need a nap, and soon.

Funny things that have occurred lately in the office include: Yesterday we were talking about "Dropping kids off" if you catch my drift. Which turned into everyone telling the sayings they had heard. It was hilarious. One of my favorite was "Taking the Browns to the SuperBowl". My standard is "dropping the kids off at the pool". If you have a funny one, feel free to share it in my comments section. We have a warped sense of humor. The all time favorite however was "Taking a Jessica, and wiping my Grantham" (In ode to Jessica, our coworker)

The other funny thing was Mindy took an aerobic pole dancing class weekend. I was unable to attend. This has turned into Jeff pretending doorframes and chairs are poles. He is taking his moves from Flashdance and Varsity Blues. The best part of this is only certain people know the story behind this and so half the office thinks Jeff is crazy. It's fantastic fun.

We also received a crazy letter yesterday. I don't even know where to begin in describing it but it is fantastic. It was a good hour of laughing. We got the second letter today and the lady is crazy. We did consult a lawyer spouse to see how we should handle the situation. My favorite to lines from the letters are "To start you will need a guard dog who can also train to herd cattle" and "The landowners are absentee owners, so feel free to go hunting on their ground. They'll never know."

It has not rained for almost an entire day. It is now really muggy outside.

I'm off to Houston/Sugar Land on Sunday and I'll fly back on Tuesday night. Hopefully I'll have some good stories to share when I get back. Greg and I are going to take a relaxing Saturday, I hope. Mom may come visit next weekend and go to Texas to a wedding with me! :)

Did I mention . . .

I bought season football tickets?

There are 8 home games this year. That's right EIGHT!!!!

Homecoming is against Missouri.

There is a football game every weekend in Sept.

We have a Thursday night game.

Texas plays here.

I'm so ready for tailgating.

Life is good, real good.

I am going on a trip to visit one of my companies in a few weeks. I am going to Sugar Land, Texas to visit their facilities with other career service professionals from around the country. I'm really excited about this trip. They are picking up the tab for the whole deal, so that makes it even better!

We had our student staff appreciation luncheon/party yesterday. It was a luau theme. It was fantastic. We made a pinata for the students in the shape of a pineapple. We also played Rock Band and Pictionary.



Tuesday we did a sales blitz in Tulsa to try to recruit new employers to use our services. It was a fun trip and my group was very successful.

Next week is finals week and graduation which is sad.

This weekend we are going to a consignment auction and the Angus Gathering sale and banquet. Last weekend was a couples shower and bachelorette party for my friend Tanya. She is getting married May 16 in Texas. So I'll be in Texas a lot that week. We had a good time and luckily the storms avoided us. The weather here has been pretty crazy the last week.

Have a great weekend!
