Busy week!
Much like Acid, I have been going through changes at work too. While she has been "Nationalized", I have had the joy of going through a merger. If you recall from past rantings some of it good, some of it just annoying. This week my new boss was in town and then my new staff were in later. I feel like all I have been doing is meeting and entertaining. Took the department out bowling for a team builder. We had a blast. Some pics were taken by the staffers so who knows I might actually get one posted. It was a good week but man, busy. Coupled with a couple of National task forces I am on, when do I get to do my own work? I know I shouldn't complain because I basically like my job, like most of the people I work with, have a great department and boss ... I dunno, this job can consume you and I don't want that to happen. Since I am basically alone now, that could be so easy to do. Must fight it and still make time for friends, family and the beach!
So with that said, lots on tap for this weekend. Today starts bride day extravaganza. Beachy's brother is getting married 6/30. Today is the bridal shower for JLL who actually has a xanga site but never leaves me comments you slacker! Anyway starting with a tea and then Beachy and her mom and I will go look for mother of the groom dresses followed by coed beach pub crawl. Naturally I am looking forward to this last bit. I had put myself in timeout for drinking to save $ and to make sure I wasn't using it as a crutch ...but tonight I'll be back and looking forward. Not sure if that makes me a JD crutch lover or not ...feel free to weigh in.
Sunday - beach
Monday baseball game - cowbell night at the Devil Rays vs. Yankees.
Wed - leave for NY with granny in tow to hangout with the cousins! REALLY looking forward to this. Will be there through the 30th. Not happy with the cold/rainy weather predicted but I have already been told to quit whining ...hmm me? Just because I will not be able to see the sun for 5 days and Jones Beach is not my beach and face it they are not going to take me there any way ....oh I am whining - ha ha
For you hockey fans out there - you Edict - um send some love to the Lightening pls!
Finally for you music fans out there what do you think it means that all I want to listen to for the past 24 hrs is The Guess Who, Three Dog Night, Blood Sweat and Tears and Janis Joplin? It makes me think of when I was a kid and I had babysitters blasting Joy to the World as they smoked pot and let me listen to their "big kids" real music. Meaning? Dunno. Maybe I wanna be a big kid
TTFN all - have a great weekend!

Who doesn't want to be a big kid? Going to South Beach on Tuesday and Islamorada!
I've been playing a lot of The Guess Who at la oficina . . . I think you're missing that 2nd hand smoke, man! hehe hehe Ack! Wedding dress shopping? Remiscent of when I lived in STP! Wow, remember that one? Oh wait, how can one forget? hehe hehe. Have lots of fun w/the boys and girls tonite.
That's it I am going out for Mexican food today,I ca not get to the beach but I can get to El Tapatios!!!
I do not expect that mergers are easy to work with ,here is hoping that all goes well for you.
You are way too busy for me.................man...........have a great weekend.......hugs.
See you at The Trop for "more Cowbell"!!
Ahh, the bridal extravaganza! Hope it was fun, but if not, just remember it through a JD and second-hand-weed haze and it will take on new and fantastic qualities.
Hope things went well Sat. I thought about you as mom and I headed down to Mainsail. And I hope the DR whip your Yanks tonight! (One can always hope...) If we don't talk before you leave, have a great time in NY.
JD is no crutch. He's a dear, dear friend who's support is often underrated. Although I'm a bigger JD fan, if you need some variety, consider his cousin Jose from south of the border. You gotta have friends... Miss you!
