Last Wednesday, I met up with Beth in Silver Spring on my way to Herndon for Omniture training. It was nice... we had some banana-y chips with guac and I had a steak with chimichurri and Beth had some salmon. It was really hot in there but it was good.

A bunch of funny stuff happened... but I can't remember : (

When I got to my hotel in Herndon, all they had left was a two bedroom suite. It was bigger than my condo. I felt bad because I was wasting all the space for just me, but it was pretty bad ass.

The next day I got up at 6 cause I thought I had to be at training by 8. When I got there I checked the papers and class started at 9.. dammit! So I went back to the hotel for an hour.

There were these two weirdos in the class who brought this:
Apparently this is a "Domo" some character from a Japanese tv show. I can't really explain this. The one guy had a really weird voice and I couldn't help but think that it wasn't his real voice and he was just wanted to sound like a Simpsons character.

I spent some quality time with my new boss. He's pretty cool and I think I'll learn a lot working with him.

So this weekend Armstrong and other businesses in Lancaster participated in the United Way's Day of Caring. Maybe you can explain why I decided to sign up after hearing the description. Basically you donate your time to local charities and organizations. Our team was assigned to weed/clean up a children's garden.

It was raining Saturday morning and we met for breakfast at 7am. I opted for the inside work of cleaning windows while the other 30 people from our team worked outside in the rain. I couldn't even believe it! Everyone was completely soaked, muddy, sweaty... and I couldn't even make it inside. I faked a stomach ache around 10 just to get to leave. Bleah I'm not doing it next year, that's for sure. I really earned my "princess" nickname. Don't look for me in the pic below, I'm not in it... but there's an idea of the hell on earth that occurred.

Kris came this weekend. We talked on his birthday and decided to hang out again. He even volunteered with my on Saturday morning by digging poles out of 3 feet of concrete.

We hung out with Brent on Saturday night and went shopping and watched football. It was pretty nice.

Hello loyal readers,

My life is sooo interesting.... I was actually going to go to walmart after work today (i know.. CRAZY, right?) but I realized I left my coupons at home (the horror!!) and once I got home I didn't feel like going back out again.

I cleaned my house REALLY good this weekend so I actually LIKE being here, haha. I've been cleaning up after myself more to keep it clean. I've even been making my bed before I leave for work. I actually remember thinking, "Wow, people really do this every day!"

One crazy thing that happened to me last week was: I was getting home from Gap one night around 10pm and this lady was waiting for me in the doorway of my building. She asked me if I drove a green Jetta with at "screwed up antenna." She has thick Greek accent and probably just doesn't know that the English translation is "fucked up antenna" but I let it slide. She starts diggin in her "Mary Poppins" bag (I'll get to that story in a second, Beth feels me) and pulls out a new antenna!!! She then told me that she works at a carwash and someone had left it behind. I thought it was so nice of her to go to think of me when she saw it and to bring it home and give it to me, especially since I rarely see her and we had never even spoken before! So nice.

Soo... while Beth and I were shopping in Beth's fave town, Cockeysville, I was trying on a top and I wanted to see what it would look like with a cardigan, which I happened to have stashed in my purse, of course. Beth goes "Did you just pull that sweater out of your Marry Poppins bag, because if anyone were to have a sweater in their purse it would be you." I mean... what if I got cold??

So I'm interviewing a Jesus Freak tomorrow. My interview candidate for the eMarketing Intern position we have open graduated in May from Messiah college and my friend at work who recommended him Dave aka "You and I both know I'd be happier if you were a Christian" Dave. So... we'll see. I painted my nails red... so I remind him of the devil. I think its going to go well.

Well, its 10:20... WAY passed my bed time. Plus, I still need some Quality time with Helen of Troy since I <3 historical fiction. Nitey nite!!
