V-Day Delights...


Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Are you ready? For what, you ask? Well for all of the faces of the hopeful...those waiting at their work place. For whom? For what? Well duh, for the most sought after, looked for, hoped for person of the day - THE FLORAL DELIVERY PERSON!! Every single time the door opens tomorrow, the masses will wait and hope with baited breath...eyes will widen and swing to and fro and then zero in on the door...all waiting to see who will receive the first/next/best/biggest/ delivery. Roses, tulips, orchids, lilies and that's not all. Stuffed animals, boxes of chocolates and balloons of various colors/sizes/shapes will be arriving en masse.
Oh and it's not just the workplace that will have this influx of floral bouquets. High Schools will be even worse, I mean will see even more deliveries. Flowers, baskets, balloons, banners and posters! And the various school organizations gets in on this heavy. Cue the PA... "FOR $3.00 YOU CAN HAVE A ROSE DELIVERED TO YOUR SECRET CRUSH DURING THE DAY. ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION"      Now after that announcement, maaaaannnn the students are watching the door in each one of their classes...waiting and speculating on who will be receiving a rose (Ha! Don't believe me. How many of you watch or know of a show about who receives a flower? IJS)
And then it happens (cue the PA again) "MRS. JOHNSON? WILL YOU PLEASE SEND TIFFANY DAVIS TO THE OFFICE?"  This announcement is met with oooohs and whispers and speculation as to why Tiffany is being called to the office. Tiffany herself wonders...panics? Is she in trouble?! Did something hap-and then she remembers what day it is. IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! Now she can't get out the door and to the office fast enough! When she returns she's not empty handed. Oh no, not even close!She comes back to class, arms laden with a vase of roses, a teddy bear that's at least 4 feet tall, a dozen heart-shaped balloons, a box of chocolates...and the biggest toothpaste-commercial smile ever!!!image.png
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok I will behave...is this better?

This year, I decided to do something a little different for Valentine's Day. I am taking VACATION!! That's right! I will NOT be in the office tomorrow. I will not be waiting with baited breath for a floral delivery or any other sort of delivery. I will be on VACATION. Where am I going? Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I just took the day off to give folks a reason to speculate. I figure it's MY gift to them.
XOXO,

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
