Angry Bird

Summer is here! It's 7:00pm and still crazy hot.

We didn't order enough lunch for our shoot today, so I didn't eat lunch until 3:30. In combination with the heat and my size I was feeling pretty sick.

It was a good day though. My favorite part was an office-wide email that was sent out.

Subject: Angry Birds

Over the past few days, there have been reports of a hawk located near the south main entrance to our building.... Facilities and Properties Administration is aware of the situation and have taken precautionary measures by contacting ... animal control department. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

In an effort to maintain your safety, please use caution as you enter and exit the building until further notice.

This email made me giggle! I heard a few people have actually been injured, which is horrible and I hope they recover quickly... But in the meantime I WILL be turning video on when I enter or leave the building!

Here is my angry bird look...

Sometimes Haiku

warmth in my belly
feel the liquid in my bones
brain finally off

Damn Key

I was excited to pull into the parking lot 20 minutes early today! I can leave early and beat a little traffic on the way home, TGIF!

I put the car in park, paused my audio book, and (tried) to turn the car off.

The key won't budge. It's stuck... For reals! I'm stuck in the minivan with the engine running.

Normal people run out of gas or get a flat tire or their battery dies. Their car STOPS for some reason.

My car won't stop. Ha-shizzle!

After wiggling the key every way possible and trying several different parking spots (just incase) I was frustrated to the point of tears.

I called Kia to get some help. After speaking to three people I was dumped into voicemail.

That's when the tears really started flowing.

I was balling like a baby when I called my boss. He laughed at me... And then said he'd meet me at my car.

Then Billy-Bob from Kia called and talked me through getting un-stuck.

1. Put car in neutral and turn the key to ACC
2. Put the car in reverse and turn the key to OFF
3. Put the car in park and pull the key out.

Ha-shizzle! Finally! Took twenty minutes to turn off the car!

Billy-Bob was so sweet and concerned that I must be in a bad part of town 'cause I was still crying... I confessed that I was in my office parking lot... Awkward! But he'll have a story to tell.

Apparently I have to have something fixed with my breaks, I'll leave that to Hubby.

Damn key!

"... and scene"

INT - Studio - Day

Michael, Christy, and Kathleen sit around a production table covered with monitors and trash from lunch.

Kathleen gets up from her chair and walks towards the door.

Christy picks something out of Kathleen's chair and holds it towards Michael.

Muted conversation and a laugh. Kathleen turns around to look back at her co-workers.

KATHLEEN

Are you talking about me?

Christy reveals the light bulb she is holding.

CHRISTY

(laughing)

You were sitting on a light bulb?!

"... and scene."

Riddle me this Batman, if a princess can feel a pea... what does that make me?

For shizzle, no matter what, I have some mad ass skills to sit on that bulb without breaking it. Crazy!

Soda Pop

They changed the cost of soda in the machine again...

I brought 1 dollar bill and 3 dimes for my soda purchase. Slid in my bill and plopped each dime in. I should get a bottled beverage and a nickel back.

Nothing happened when I pushed the button (five times, I'm kinda slow sometimes.) Finally I realized I was 20 cents short! Fine, just give me my money back and we'll part ways. No harm no foul.

FOUL! It would not give me my money! And I will not let this machine keep it.

Fortunately Karen was at her desk when I called from my cell phone... I couldn't leave my $1.30, I didn't trust the machine.

She was laughing at me when she brought me 20 cents.

Laughing

Had so many laughs today. Good friends.

My favorite was when, after bursting into tears, I apologized for ruining lunch. Karen, without trying to be funny, said "don't worry my lunch was already ruined, this burger is awful!" from tears to laughter in 10 seconds.

And these girlies always make me laugh...

The Dark Place

I've been in a dark place for a few days. It's getting better.

My loving family and good friends are helping.

I found this picture on my phone today. It made me smile. I think Caitlin did this on Friday while sitting on my head... One of the only ways to relieve my tension/migraines.
