Hmmm....

I really need to take the time to write more in this blog! But its like keeping a journal.. I just never could keep up with it! Besides every time I started a diary, my little brother would find it, read it and mortify me! Anyways, I just started this entry and have to leave it as I have to take this call and its 5pm! Yeah, work week almost done!

Surprise!

I was not looking forward to today, because its Friday. One might ask, why I am not looking forward to a Friday? Well... I will tell ya. I was informed on Tuesday that a meeting had been scheduled for me (without even asking if I was available!) for 11:30am. Why is this such a bad thing? Because I COULD NOT WEAR JEANS TODAY! I really do look forward to wearing jeans on Fridays. I like feeling casual. So around 11:30 one of my managers asked if I was ready to go (we were going together) and we left the office. About 20 minutes into the drive our office called saying the client called and he needed to cancel. My only thought? Yeah! I can have lunch! So we turned around and headed back to M3. About 10 minutes out, Jeff asked if I would like to order lunch. I said no, I was going to eat my Lean Cuisine. He calls the office and asks what everyone is doing for lunch. He said we were 10 minutes away. They said they would wait for us to get back. We get back to the office. This is what we were greeted with: Yes, the office surprised me with a bridal shower!!!! I was shocked I tell ya! Shocked! My beautiful cake! Me and my cake... This is after Kevin tried to put my face in the cake. So rude! And its Red Velvet! Victory! Not one ribbon broken!

Not happy!

I can not believe that I am getting sick! My nose is all stuffed up, my throat is hurting and I have been home since 4pmand have not been out of this bed! I guess I should be happy that I am sick now and not 3 weeks from now! But I have so much to do work wise..... hoping I feel better in the morning!

30 days!

And I will be Mrs. Rich Lansdale!!!! I can not believe it. It truly seemed like yesterday when were just starting the planning! Now I am down to the very last moments... These next couple of weeks I am sure are going to just fly by! Dum dum de dum!!! Can't wait! I am sooooo excited! But first let me re-count the conversationn I had with the bridal shop... Me: Hi! This is Alisa calling. I would like to schedule a time to pick up my dress. Bridal Shop: Sure... how about the 22nd? Me: Sure, I will be in the weekend of September 24th. Bridal Shop: No dear, October 2nd. Me: But my wedding is OCTOBER 16TH! Bridal Shop: Well, that is not going to work then. Me: Yah think????? So now I am waitng on confirmation that I can pick up my dress the weekend of Oct 2nd. Can you say stressful???

9/11

I am not a political person at all, but this day will always be remembered for those who lost their lives so senselessly and tragically. The site of the Towers burning and falling will live in my mind for the rest of my life. The feeling of helplessness when I could not get a hold of my brother who was in New York at the time will always feel real to me. I can't even think about it too much now without getting choked up about it. Thankfully he was no where near the WTC's but seeing all the lives that were lost that day makes me just feel so sad for all those families who lost someone 9 years ago today. I don't want the image of the plane crashing into the 2nd tower ever to leave my memory. As it will always be a reminder that there is evil in this world and we must find a way to rise above it. Proud to be an American... today and everyday!

Sh*T!!!!!

Knew I had a good reason to be worried about the electrical... got the wrong receptacles and in-feeds sent to me and now I can't build the electrical in my storage wall. And then at 1pm found out the files don't fit onto the bases... what else can go wrong????

Day One

I woke up at 3:40am this morning. Left the house at 4:20am Was at my jobsite at 4:55am. Was on my feet walking up and down the big freakin hill for 6 hours! Watching my trailers of furniture arrive. Went back to the office at 11am. And decided to leave for home at 2:30pm. I am now sitting in bed, with my feet up and waiting for Rich to get off the phone with the hopes of asking for a foot massage!!!! Tomorrow is another day of delivery and building will start. Still very nervous, but lets all hope all will still go well. Little concerned about the electrical though. ....

Its the weekend before

all hell will break loose! I knew September was going to be a crazy month, but I really am not prepared for it. I don't want to wake up at 3:30am on Tuesday morning to be able to leave my house by 4:15am to be at a jobsite at 5am. I am really nervous about this installation. And really really hoping I did not make any mistakes! I don't want to go to Texas next week. I hate business travel, plus I will still be installing CII and I hate to be away for a major installation. And then of course, I am hoping all goes good with that install. After the 17th, I hope I can breathe a little easier....

Daisy Duke!
