SATC2

On Thursday I went to see SATC2 with my girls. WOW. It was the OC Social Event of the YEAR! The theater was packed with women and a few sprinkling of men. At first, I thought it was weird that people would get dressed up for this movie. After talking to my co-workers at lunch, it didn't seem so odd. People dressed up to see the Dark Knight, Harry Potter and Star Wars films....why should SATC be any different.

I loved the first one and hoped that the second would be the same or better. Overall the movie was entertaining, but something about it wasn't the same. It was definitely missing something from the series and the storyline seems kind of over the top, even for them.

My mind on overdrive

I can't sleep.
Too much thinking.
Work.
Too much worrying.
Sickness.
Too much over-analyzing.
What if?

I'm worried and scared for her.
I can't even begin to imagine what is going on in her mind.
I hope she's going to be okay.

What does it mean?
How am I going to step up?
Will I even be able to?
For how long?


I want to cry, but I can't.
Instead I sit up worrying, and thinking, and over analyzing.

Good Morning?

It's now 3:17 AM on Monday morning and I just finished 4 hours of work here at home...I'm not even a little bit tired at the moment. I should sleep...but I feel like catching up on my Google Reader and watching old Movies and working on my quilt.

Is this what happens when you become and Associate? You start having crazy work hours that include the weekends??

My alarm clock is going to go off in 3.5 hours. Lets see how long I make it tomorrow...err..I mean later on today. =X

Random Loves...

University of Southern California - so much so that I visit the campus semi-regularly and often daydream of what could should have been. I also daydream about the day that I return for my Masters (I just need to figure out in what to get my Masters in...oh yeah and how I'm going to pay for tuition...)

John Legend - his voice makes my knees go weak. *sigh*

Kefir - okay not so much, but I've made a commitment to myself that I would eat healthier and have breakfast every morning. So every morning this week I've been drinking 8 oz of kefir....and I'm finding myself much more...regular...which is good, right?

Game Day - I can't wait for the season to start. GO TROJANS!

Vegas Baby - so far I have only been once this year. This is very different from previous years when I would go 4-5 times a year. One of my goals is to get myself a vacation condo out there....maybe after I get myself my own condo here...

Craft/Scrapbooking Supplies - It's an addiction. I love buying stuff, but I never use them. I'm becoming a supply hoarder. Its bad. I need help.

Covers and Mash-ups - This one is especially crazy. LOVE IT. 

An Important Message

It was Tuesday afternoon and I was sitting at my desk desperately trying to stay awake while I chug away at my work. My phone rings AGAIN. Ugh. What does the Developer want NOW?! I think as I prepare for my happy work phone voice. It went a little something like this....

----------------------

"Hi. This is Anna." trying to sound as upbeat and awake as possible.

"Hi, Anna. This is [insert Company President's name here]. I have a confidential matter that I need to discuss with you. Is there a conference room or somewhere that we can discuss this in private?"

gulp. "Uh..sure..um...someone is in the conference room now, but I can just shut the door of my office.."
omgomgomgomg. "Okay the door is shut."

"Great. So I have here [insert head of HR's name here] and [insert CFO here] on the phone." oh gawd. I'm going to throw up. *closes meebo on the computer* "..and we are here to tell you that..." *squints* oh gawd..... "We have decided to make you an Associate!"

*gasp* "REAALY??!?" mental squeal "Thank You!!" OOOOOH Ah-MY GAAAAAWD!!!!


-------------------

And that is how I found out that I am now an Associate!!! *happy dance*

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

One of our wonderful, glorious afternoons in Vegas was spent at the Bellagio Conservatory. I love seeing what they come up with each season. I think this visit is one of my favorites. The Garden smelled heavenly.

Life's Truths for Adults

I received this email the other day with a list of "Life's Truths for Adults". Its all so hilariously true. hehe.

Life’s Truths for Adults

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

31. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'll bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
