10!

Woo! I can't believe I've lost 10 pounds!! *dances*

I'm a trouble maker, no?

Dave and I nearly got ourselves fired today for our "conduct" the past few days. We have a new person on staff and let's just say, our personalities are completely different. She seems to operate well under a stressful environment, we thrive on our laid-back, lower stress nature.

I admit I haven't been the nicest person in the world to her for the week she's been here, but nothing that to me warrants calling a meeting with our bosses. Basically I react to people in the manner I've been treated--which hasn't been very nice. It all started when she barked at the staff last Friday. Let's just say it didn't start things out on a good foot. I was honestly working on moving past that when she jumped on another co-worker about his time on the internet (he says he was on his lunch break). That set me back again. So I haven't exactly been Miss Friendly. Then the other day, she completely ignored me, walked past me and asked my coworker (who has the exact same job as me) for something that she could've asked me about. All apparently because she couldn't look at me since earlier in that day, I had slammed things down at my desk and shunned her when she talked to me. First off, I slam things in my file cabinet every day. I know this. It certainly has nothing to do with her. Or anything really. I just toss my bookbag & purse in and it is loud. As for the ignoring her? I honestly don't think I heard her. When asked to recount details of the incidents we've had, I couldn't remember things. But you know what? I don't remember a lot of things since my accident. Head trauma is a weird thing.

But we've put our differences aside for the good of the project. 'Cause it's gonna take everyone being on the same page to get the redesign done in time to go back live on-the-air at the end of July. And I most certainly do not enjoy the negative atmosphere that has been created so I'm all for putting whatever happened in the past and moving forward. This is why I'm getting this out and won't mention it again. We are all adults and are certainly capable of acting like it. I've apologized and she's apologized and we're moving on.

What worries me? I'm sure as hell not losing my job because someone is here on a 5 week detail and has already put me in some hot water with my bosses. I love my job and most of my co-workers. I work hard and take pride in what I do.

What a way to start my weekend.

The weekend...finally!

This week has been insane. And I only worked 3 days!? Why is it that those short weeks always are so much crazier? But it's Saturday and I'm pumped. I'm lounging about this morning before shopping and supper with Tracy tonight. I haven't seen her for almost 2 weeks! That's absurd, huh?

I have some pics of me with my parents and Rich at the Royals game from last week. I think Kaufmann Stadium is just so pretty. :)

Rich and I
Mom, Dad and myself
And again...

And I'm up to 9 pounds lost in case anyone is keeping track! QHEE! :)

Last but not least, in keeping with my red-head theme of this here blog: What is up with Lindsay Lohan's BLONDE hair?? Ick. I think she should embrace her natural red hair. There are so few of us. Anyone else agree? Or am I just partial to red hair? Nah, that can't be it!! ;)

Seven...

....pounds lost!! QHEE!

That's really the only point of this post.

But, I'll go ahead and write a little more. My parents are in town through Wednesday. I'm very excited to see them, but not quite sure what I'm going to do to keep them entertained. We have the Royals/Dodgers game on Tuesday and we're gonna do some BBQ-ing, but that's all I have planned. We'll see...

And, did I already say "QHEE"?!?

;)

MIA?!?

Yeah, so I'm around. Rich's mom and sister were here visiting for several days last week/weekend so I'm just now getting around to getting online some. We had a good time, watching the Royals beat the Yankees (much to Rich's family's dismay...), eating some good food and hitting Worlds of Fun.

Now it's my parents who will be visiting. Who knew we were so popular? :)

In other news--I am up to 5.5 pounds lost. QHEE! Counting every calorie really can make a difference, huh? I just feel so much better with even just the 5 pounds. It's been just over 5 weeks and I'm hoping that I can keep it up.

What else??? Carrie made me a wonderful icon:



Cool, huh? Thanks again Sweetie!

One last thing. I've been playing some Kitty Cannon (don't play if you have a love for cats...I'm just warning you). It's somewhat addictive. And slightly gross. But hey, I'm weird.... ;)
