This was me when I woke up this morning:

No good...

update

UPDATE:
It is 9:08 pm on Tuesday. I have already worked over 30 hours this week. I just noticed that my left eye is producing massive amounts of yellow gook. Now the lights above me are shutting off as is my brain.

chirp chirp

Chirp Chirp...look what landed on my desk:


And no worries, he came in a pack of three so he isn't alone. I just haven't decided where to put his siblings. I am so tired/delusional I keep imagining that he is blinking at me!

$35 Life

I was checking my bank account online and saw a $35 check posted and couldn't remember what I wrote it for, so I clicked on the image. Here is what I found:

Drew and I accumulate receipts for common expenses such as groceries/dinners/wine/Okaa and then split them up when we get paid. This is what I owed Drew last time. Notice the date and the memo line...on Valentine's Day I wrote a check for my life for $35. This epitomizes silly....

Things that help

I was locked out of the house last night so I took my time at the grocery store, which resulted in the purchase of a toy.
I am sure I had one of these as a child. The small things in life that help you get through Friday afternoon. It actually works to. It makes popping noises and the little balls bounce around. TWSS... Is it 5:00 yet?

Happy Bird-day

Today is Drew's birthday! Happy 18th birthday Drew!

I told Sara that we were going to have Drew's friends over Saturday and I wish she could be there to help me be a hostess. Here is her response:

"Anyhooo Drew's bday sounds like fun! Don't you worry If we've learned nothing else from our crazy mothers its how to throw a party! Too much alcohol, lots of food and a little shirley q liquor if all else enteratinment fails and your set."

Thanks Sara, and now, a little Shirley Q to brighten up this grey hump day!

DYWBYT

In all of the partner's and executive director's offices there are white boards on one wall. They use these to keep track of clients and dues dates I guess. Anyways, on one of the partner's white board he has DYWBYT written in big letters across the top with words coming down from each letter. He isn't in his office today so I stuck my head in his door to see what it said:
Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty
Interesting...I guess that is a good rule to live by. Maybe we should tell some of our clients this...

The Office

The Office is my favorite TV show. I don't think any other series has been consistently good, funny, entertaining, ect. that has aired in my generation. I could watch old episodes over and over and never get tired of the same Michael Scott-isms. Tonight is the second new episode of 2010 and I am so excited to watch it! On this evenings episode Dunder-Mifflin is being bought out by a new company and the employees (mainly Michael Scott I imagine) are adjusting to this change in ownership. This is going to be good!

In other news...the snow is FINALLY gone. I was getting annoyed with walking my crazy husky dog on iced sidewalks. Drew made fun of me because his front step still has some ice/snow on it (which bothers me immensely) and I can barely walk on it. Especially in my accounting shoes (heels)!

TGIT (Thank God it's Thursday)

Weekend Activities

Hello!

As a result of the snow, work was a bit hectic yesterday. I worked from home until about 11 and then I ventured out to drive to work. The roads were pretty nasty still but I made it fine. There were very few people that came in, most just worked from home!


Well, this weekend was quite adventurous. Friday night we went to PetSmart to buy Okaa a new harness and it had already started snowing at 7! It was beautiful! So we got the harness and dinner and then came home! The next morning it had snowed a good 5 inches! It sleeted/snowed all day! We decided to clean the house and tied Okaa up outside on her lead with her new harness. At one point in the afternoon I went out to check on her and she was GONE. So, Drew and I went on a cold ass dog search. We finally found her after suffering from near frost bite and mega frustration. I thought Drew was going to KILL her. But, she is fine, just too strong and that harness was just not strong enough! Needless to say we were back at PetSmart Sunday afternoon returning that POS and getting a much stronger one.

We also bought Okaa a dog bed/couch on Sunday. As Drew says, that is the best $18 we have ever spend. Rotten dog...
We also hung up my little fish measuring spoons which makes me oddly happy:


Ok, time to get to work! Doing a provision today! Wish me luck!

News?

I was checking in on my google reader (best invention ever) this morning and saw this news article on WRAL's news feed:
Willie Nelson
I just laughed out loud in my cube. This does not constitute news! Of course Willie Nelson's band members had Moonshine & recreational amounts of marijuana. I would have been surprised/let down if they didn't! And why did the ALE feel it necessary to bust them? That is just silly.
In other news, it is Friday. THANK HEAVENS! I scheduled a vet appointment for Okaa at 8:30 tomorrow morning since she is over due for her rabies shot and I spied a Possum on Drew's neighbor's porch two nights ago. However, I imagine with the pending weather fiasco that I will be rescheduling.
Time for more coffee and making these M-1 & M-2s balance. Have a fantastic day!

State of the Union

I can't lie....I didn't watch much of the State of the Union address last night. Drew, Drew's roommate (Scott), and I turned it on for all of 5 minutes before we had enough of the formalities surrounding this speech. The cliche prose, standing, clapping, whistling, sitting, repeat, as Scott put it, is so inefficient. I am sure the president spend alot of time talking about the economy, job creation, new regulations, ect. I wonder how much it cost to pull of the State of the Union address? To assemble that many people, make sure that building is secure, get all the news stations there, outfit for presidents entourage, the list could go on and on. A better thing to do would have been to make a radio broadcast like in the FDR days (fireside chats). It would have saved so many of your tax payer dollars!

Speaking of...let me know if anyone needs their taxes done ;)

One final thing...this made my morning:



COFFEE TIME!

Wednesday

Happy Hump Day! Congratulations on making it half way through the week!

I always get excited when Wednesday is over because I only have two days left in the week! Although, I imagine that coming in to work this Saturday is not out of the question. I did see that there is a chance for snow/ice Friday night in to Saturday morning...so we have that to look forward to! I did make an appointment for Okaa to go to the vet Saturday morning so I may have to change that. She chewed up her collar two days ago so she has been a naked Husky dog since we don't have time to go shopping for a new collar. It is on my to do list!

My business cards were in my box yesterday so I guess it is official! And I completed my first federal tax return! Go me!

I hope everyone has a lovely afternoon!
