Quickie
February 28, 2007

Ok, it’s been one of those whirlwind days and I just don’t have much left in me to be verbally creative.  Here are just a few random musings:

Tonight is the 2 hour season premiere of America’s Next Top Model.  Why do I love this show so much?  I think it’s all the hair/makeup/fashion shoots.  I [...]

Stop and Smell the Roses
February 27, 2007

Tonight a group of us here at work are going out for dinner/drinks to honor a coworker.  Tomorrow she is going in to have a masectomy.  Not only is it a pretty major surgery, but, as a woman, that must be a very difficult thing to have to do.  It will be great to take her out [...]

Cross Your Fingers For Me
February 26, 2007

A few of us just got an email from my boss that we need to meet in the conference room at 9:30.  EEK!  Why?!?!?!?  I hate that now I feel like I’m on eggshells at work and in jeopardy of losing my job every freaking day.  NOT FUN.
Cross your fingers that I’m just overreacting and [...]

TGIF!
February 23, 2007

Why is it that even though this week was shorter than most, it still felt painfully L-O-N-G??  I guess it was mostly because of all the meetings at work.  I’m looking forward to a weekend that’s not too jam-packed.  Hopefully that will give me a chance to catch up on some of the stuff that I [...]

Girls Night
February 22, 2007

Tonight me and 4 of my best girls are having a girls night.  We’re actually starting here at the office.  It’s our big quarterly meeting and there will be a little wine and social hour after work (hey – at least I get free booze since I’m sure as hell not getting a raise!).  Then [...]

Well Good Fucking Morning to You Too!
February 21, 2007

I live in California and work in the mortgage industry.  Times are tough.  Home values have plateaued and rates have shot sky high.  A lot of companies have closed their doors because they just aren’t closing enough loans. 
Things at my company have certainly slowed down in recent months, but our VP called a meeting awhile [...]

San Francisco & the Joys of Photoshop
February 20, 2007

The weather was SO beautiful this weekend!  Mr. Rawkstar and I relaxed most of it, but on Saturday we spent the day in the city with our friends, D & D.  We spent the first part of the day walking up and down Haight Street, eating and shopping.  There are so many cute and funky little stores…it’s [...]

Food Manners in the Workplace
February 15, 2007

I work in a relatively small-sized office.  There are about 30 employees total – about 1/3 in offices and the rest in cube land.  We’re a very close-knit group and several of us are good friends outside the workplace. 
While we all get along 99% of the time, I’m getting to the point that I fear [...]

Series of Love
February 14, 2007

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Hope everyone is having a FAH-bulous day!    Tonight Mr. Rawkstar and I are going out to dinner at this awesome Italian restaurant.  Being Italian, I have a really hard time eating it out because it rarely meets my expectations.  I went to this place a couple years ago, though, [...]

Awwwww….
February 13, 2007

The receptionist just brought me a box and in it was a beautiful bouquet of flowers  from Mr. Rawkstar – irises and tulips.  I think they were intended to arrive tomorrow for V-day, but they came a day early.  That’s quite alright with me because they will brighten up my cubie for an extra day!  [...]
