My H just sent me a text that there is a fire in the mountains. I go look outside and I can see the smoke and it's windy today. I hope it can be put out. My allergies are acting up because of the smoke. My Aunt is having surgery today to remove a mass in her stomach. I am praying the Doctors get it all.
Ummm, there's a fire & you're worried about allergies?
Apparently I've gone back to junior high instead of gone to work this morning.
One of the other people on my team sits at a desk on the first floor and sells all our annual permits. We bought an Excel training CD for her and she didn't want to do it at her desk because she didn't want to get interrupted. So she arranged for coverage yesterday so she could come sit up here at my cube mate's desk (cube mate works 8:30-2:30) in the afternoon to do her Excel training. So she gets up here, puts the CD in, then proceeds to let everyone and their mom interrupt her. She asks me if she should just go back downstairs to her desk and I tell her to either do that or stop letting people interrupt her so she can do her training. She says she can't do that (that being stop letting people interrupt her). So I then tell her, yes go back to your desk since the whole reason you were doing your training up here was to not get interrupted and there's really no point in staying up here if you are going to get interrupted anyway. She packs her stuff and goes back downstairs in a huff and doesn't talk to me the rest of the afternoon.
This morning she comes up to my cube to bring me some reports and walks right by me, puts them in the safe and walks out. No hi or good morning or anything. Usually she's up my ass bugging me as soon as she sees me sign on to my computer.
I'm so glad I found my time machine! I was so sad that I lost it!
I just applied for a job where they wanted the following questions answered:
"What is on your playlist right now?" "What is your favorite beer?" "Describe arugula"
God, I want to work for this place.
Did you respond with "it's a veg-e-ta-ble- said in my best Steve Martin voice"? I would hire you in a second if you did.
Back from DS's appt- that little stinker jumped up from the 5th to the 50th percentile in height and from the >5th to 10th-25th percentile in weight. THANK GOD!!! I can breath a little easier about this stuff for the next few months.

Dang it, NO! I should have consulted with the board first. lol. This was my response (I mentioned the organic garden because this place is big on locally sourced organic ingredients): Oh arugula, you beautiful little skinny leafed plant. I grow arugula in my organic garden every year. I love its spicy flavor and the dimension it can add to all types of dishes, from salads to soups to entrees. One of my favorite things to do with arugula is put a gigantic pile of it on a delicious pizza.

Last night on FB my friend posted a picture of his wife in the L&D bed, all smiles, he said 'water broke, mommy's ready, we can't wait to meet baby'.
Literally 20 minutes later I got a text from his sister that the baby had passed away:( apparently there was no heartbeat when they hooked her up to the monitors:(

I get what you are saying. My allergies are so inconsequential compare to what the fire is destroying. I am sorry I didn't mean to come off as "ughhh there is a stupid fire bothering my allergies". I really do care about the mountains, they are the most beautiful part of the city.
The house came in over purchase price for our appraisal! Woot! Only the financing hurdle left and we were pre-approved for well over the purchase price so hopefully it will go smoothly.
My husband is convinced mother's day is this sunday, the 5th. I am not going to tell him otherwise (I have been telling him for 10 years mother's day is the 2nd sunday in May, every year), so I am going to let him give me gifts THIS sunday and then tell him. I will also expect nice mother's daytreatment on the 12th. That's bad, huh?
