WTH???

REALLY? WTH?
I was walking to work today and as a lady (complete stranger) comes around the corner with her husband, she dead stops in front of me and squeals (yes, squeals!):

"Oh my God! We're twinies! Isn't that cool?" I apparently gave her the WTH look because she points to my pants "We have the same pants."
My reply: "Ah, ok. Great." And walk around her to work.
Weirdo....
It's not jr. high - we're strangers on the street.

#300

Yep, blog post #300! :D

For those of you who have heard me talk and those of you who have not, (read: complain/bitch) about the one co-worker that I have that I do not like, sit back and enjoy!

Dear Co-Worker:
1. You are not my boss. I hope you can remember that! If you would like help with something, then please, by all means, ASK for help! I don't appreciate you dictating me to do your clerical tasks while I am buried under paper and files of my own.
2. When you are on hold with someone, do we all have to listen to the muzak? Seriously! I don't need to know that your call is important to them, followed by the musical sounds of instrumental Copacabana! Turn your damn speaker phone off!!!!!!! Stick it to your ear like the rest of us.
3. You are capable of waiting of clients when they come in. Please don't make them stand there and wait because I am on the phone or waiting on another client. CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Sincerely,
Your irritated coworker

My Cubbies are doing great! I am SO excited about how well they're doing!

Have a GREAT weekend!

May update, part 2

I guess all that's left to update on is Memorial Day weekend...

Friday, we went into the city to have dinner with my sis and brother in law. Despite the 3 hour (it should have been a little over an hour) trip - love Chicago area traffic. :) Anyway, we arrived safely, took the El (made DD's night! - she's still talking about it) and walked a couple of blocks to "Piece" - yummy pizza!!!!!! Thanks, A & D for a fun evening and good company. DD's favorite part, of course was the "train ride" and the "shoe store" (we just walked by one and I thought she was going to wet her pants with excitement...girls...)

Saturday was pretty quiet - we picked up DD's glasses, DS had an orientation for his cruise with my in laws next month, and I worked at the library in the afternoon. I use the word "work" very loosely - it was VERY dead in there so I managed to finish the book I was reading - time well spent....

Sunday we went to the zoo with some friends. It was a GORGEOUS day! Sunny, mid-70s. The animals were out and playing. The zoo was packed! (Zoo pictures to come in a few days...) We spent the night at a hotel about 15 minutes from the zoo. We had dinner at Ed Debevic's, then went back to the hotel to relax.

Monday we had breakfast and swam in the pool for a while. We checked out by 11 and headed our separate ways. We swung by Archivers (oh I love their $1.99 spot!) and picked up some embellishments. We picked up McD's on the way home for lunch and crashed after we ate. DH & DS went to go see the new Indiana Jones movie - they weren't real excited about it.

I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend!

May update, part 1

Greetings fellow bloggers and blog readers!

I do not know where May has gone. Geez... The weather this month has been up & down.

Oh let's see, what have we been doing this month?

The first weekend of May was BEAUTIFUL! Sunny, 70s...so that Sunday, we loaded up the bikes and drove about 20 miles to the bike path and rode for about an hour. It was lots of fun and it was nice to see spring coming. Then we accidentally stumbled on a parade, so we sat and watched that for the rest of the afternoon. We came home with about 5 pounds of candy...

Mother's Day was very nice! We went to the Cubs game - the weather was HORRID! Rainy, windy (20 mph with 40 mph gusts) and a high of 46. More like football weather, BUT we waited out the delay and the Cubbies won! :) Complete with some fan action - an idiot in the bleachers jumped the wall and was running around the outfield during the game. Hope that moron collected enough money for his bail AND took it with him!

DD got her new glasses - FINALLY this past Saturday! What a fiasco! We waited 6 weeks for them! Hello? Customer service people! She had her exam 6 weeks ago and tried on frames that she really liked but they didn't have them with the long temple bows so they had to order her a similar frame, 5 - 7 days. A week & a half pass and I finally call them - Oh, ah...well they should be coming. Another week passes, I call again - they're on back order. No one called!!!! HELLO????? SO, I wait until the back order date and wait a few extra days. Stop by to see what's going on. They should be another 3 or 4 days. I wait another week, and call. Nothing. Of course, the next day when we have a million things going on, they come in but I leave early and we get them fitted and order her lens. So they call this past Friday - they're all in. So, we go pick her up early and take her - the temple bows are WAY too short! The lens are pressing against her eyeballs and the girl says "I think she could be ok". Ahhhhh - NO!!!!! So, of course, we leave to go out of town for the evening (that will be update part 2) and when we get home at 10:30 there is a message that they have worked on her glasses and they should be fine. So bottom line, she has them now and LOVES that they turn into "sunglasses" now.

Hope you're all well and I'll update you further soon!

Scraps so far....

I haven't gotten much done but here they are...

I did the card as a sketch challenge (thank you, Nunu!) This is just a quick color challenge digital layout.

Hopefully I'll have some more in the next few days....

Tomorrow is....

National Scrapbooking Day! Yes, that's right - it has it's own "holiday". :D However, I won't probably be doing much during the day tomorrow - gotta work... Hopefully tonight and tomorrow night, I can do a little scrapping and have a little "show" soon!

To my scrapping friends - I challenge you to do a layout using YOUR handwriting - NO computer fonts anywhere.... You can do it! (Please link me to your layout)

Have a SUPER Friday!
Happy Scrapping!

Happy May Day!

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy month of May! May you have a spring filled month!!!!!

HUGS!
