So this week involved me doing very little actual work at work. I brought brownies on Tuesday, snuck out for donuts with Sandy (our admin/secretary) and Shauna (the intern). I provided the transportation, and the coupon of course, but I wasn't having a donut. I got peer pressured into a delicious boston cream, though. Then on Thursday, we surprised our department with the most amazing ice cream social ever. We spent over fifty emarketing dollars on all the supplies. Everyone was happy though and we actually hung out for non-work related purposes for about 20 minutes. We've been having a lot of team work issues lately and naturally I've been involved in coming up with fun was to combat them. We've also had the idea to tie die shirts or go bowling. Everyone in our department (almost) is a huge weenie and never wants to do anything fun so its like pulling teeth to get everyone to hang out.

Shauna and I also decided on Monday we were going to go out and do something fun every night of the week. This lasted through Monday. We went out to a local restaurant's bar with Sandy had clams and wings and went home by 10. Tuesday Shauna didn't feel like going out, and I was fine with that. Then on Wednesday I really felt like doing something but, again, Shauna didn't feel like it. I called up this other girl I randomly met one day. We went out and eventually met up with some other people and it turned out to be an OK time. While I was out with her Shauna called me, "Julie, don't get your hopes up... but I think I might have tickets to Billy Joel tomorrow."

By 12pm on Thursday we knew we were seeing Billy. Of course, I had work at the Gap that night. When I lie to them I like to get a little creative. I think I feel less bad if I mix the lie with a bit of truth. So, I was all stressed out about what to tell them. Sandy said, "just say that you need to stay late at your real job today and you can't make it." I liked that excuse rather than the typical, "I don't feel good." So the excuse I came up with was that my boss was supposed to host some customers for dinner tonight, but she found out her mom is in the hospital, so I have to fill in. The truth was that my boss's mom was actually in the hospital.. but we didn't have any customers in town hehe. It worked like a charm and I was free to see the piano man.

I met up with Shauna with all the necessary supplies, 4 coronas and a nalgene full of my favorite pre-party concoction: blue raspberry "energy" drink and vanilla vodka. So we had a little tailgate party in the parking lot... basically alone. Why was everyone there so old?? Shauna is crazy and always gets me to do things I wouldn't normally do... like pee not in a toilet. Thursday marked the first time this has taken place since the last time I peed my pants. Photos of our impressive streams below.





So we saw/heard another little party going on a few cars away and we could tell they were about our age. They were extremely white trash so we passed them by on our way into the show. This was the first time we looked at what row our seats were after they told us they were in row one hundred thirty something. We found out we were row 23!!

I couldn't take my camera in but I was thankful that I was forced to listen to his music as a child so that I could sing along or at least recognize some of the songs. We just danced like crazy and decided we were having more fun than anyone else there.

Hey everybody! I'm doing a post! Just got back from Beth's a little while ago. We had a fun weekend. On Friday we spent some time out by the pool then cooked lots of food. Beth gave us massages and then we did a bit of shopping and got lots of deals on Saturday thanks to my coupons! We were lazy on Sunday and we only had time to chow down at Friendly's before Kate had to get on her bus.

I picked out some cute pics to share!
