another year older...

very anti-climactic....but i guess it's ok..i wasn't expecting this huge hooplah, especially since i had to work...but it was actually a very awesome day. my team was so great, and in a peppy mood. i couldn't ask for anything more. we just had a crazy day. we worked hard, but we also goofed around a bit..just being silly, as usual. i don't think i could ask for a better team than this one. we do work well together...and even though the work itself sucks, the people are awesome. i don't think i can say enough about them. they make me laugh until my sides hurt..that doesn't happen very often. and we pick on each other a lot too, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone.

ya remember those games we played in college? you know, the ones where we said, 'not it!' when we didn't want to be DD? and then you had to make up some messed up sign, signaling that you're 'not it'? that's what our team does. whenever we don't want to order food or we don't want to do some kind of work. the last person has to get the food or do the work. our signs have kind of gotten out of control, but i love it. so last friday, we were in such silly moods, that we started a wave of 'not it' signs, which went all around the room....comraderie, i tell you. and then me and scot started singing the wgci birthday song...you know the one... ---

'now who's this on the birthday line?'
'it's my-ra. it's my-ra'
'and myra whats your zodiac sign?'
'it's gem-ini, it's gem-ini'
'and how old are you on this day?'
'i'm twenty-four, i'm twenty-four!'
'go myra, it's yo birthday, go myra, it's yo birthday myra where you from?'
'west side!'
'where you from?'
'downers grove!'
(i can't seem to remember the ending right now...i'll get back to you on that one....but you get the idea....)

oh! and my entire team was so sweet and bought me a birthday cake! and this ain't no regular yellow cake...this was a sweet mint chocolate chip ice cream cake! ya heard that? yes, you heard right honey, and mint chocolate chip is my favorite flavor of ice cream! like i said...one of the best bdays ever in my adult life...

so anyways, that's how fun last friday was. then my team let me leave early so that i could have dinner with arch, mari, and rach...(now isn't that nice?) i felt bad because they were stuck working on a friday night, but i thanked them profusely for it. and unfortunately, they couldn't make it out that night. oh well....next time we all go out, i have a feeling it's going to get interesting...

so i finally get to leave work early today. i stopped working around 8:30PM tonight, and now i'm just doing all the stuff that i haven't had time for the past 2 weeks...i can't believe i've worked the past 15 days straight....that's why it feels so wierd not being here all the time..i'm not quite sure what to do with myself now...i know that tonight, i need to do my laundry. shoot, i have to do my expenses too...eh, i'll do that tomorrow...

i'm sorry that i'm boring you with all this work talk..but seriously, i have nothing else to talk about in my life...friday night at zentra was fun as hell....some people stopped by who i haven't seen in FOREVER. so that was a very nice surprise. like justin, and darlene, and timmy...i think that i just need to get out more. i want to socialize more. and i'm sure i'll have more time in about a month or so...can't wait for that to happen..oh! and the biggest surprise...cheryl, ed, girlie, and nors bought me a tiffany's bracelet! oh yes! you read that right! it is a tiffany bracelet, honey...not the cheaper bluenile.com bracelet....the one that i've been wanting for the past year. and they bought it for me. uh huh...this girl is bout to be bling blinging all over the place! like i said this birthday was hella good.

lets see...what else happened? oh. well, i worked all weekend. and last night, to unwind, a bunch of us were just loitering up the joint around midnight...good times, i tell you...good times....there i go, talking about work again. well, like i said...work is about all of my existance right now. all of my existance.

*sigh* i miss my other life.

is it time to sign up for another aidsride?

*we'll think about that one*
