Closing Up Shop

2009-01-13T07:35:00.000-08:00

I regret to inform you that I will no longer be a blogger, this blog will be deleted after a few days. The biggest reason is that hubby's security clearance is coming up for renewal and anything I have said could jeopardize it. I have also run out of things to blog about, between spending quality time with hubs before he leaves and work, there's no room for fun adventures. I am still going to read them and comment, though!

Miller Post

2008-12-17T19:47:00.000-08:00

Miller was tagged by Milo Jetplane to do this, but he will be giving me random facts about himself in time-out. He will explain why.....

Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

1. My Mom and Dad named me after Dad's best friend that was killed in Iraq. His last name was Miller.

2. I am fully potty trained, but when I am mad at my mom and dad, I pee on the floor right in front of them to piss them off. (thats why I am in time out tonight)

3. My favorite person is my Paw Paw, we even look alike.

4. I just learned to jump up onto Mom and Dads bed, its really high!

5. Sometimes when its cold outside I don't want my feet in the cold grass, so I just pee on the side walk.

6. I love to sleep on my back!

Well we knew it was coming sometime in 2009, but yesterday we found out Hubby will be leaving sometime in the February for training for a few weeks then 6 months in Iraq. The worst part? He won't get to come home after training like last time. Straight to the desert. And to put the cherry on top of all this......he has to go to the Inauguration for 5 days. Great........

Early 30's
Not Married (& very bitter about it to other married people)
Moved here to take this job after meeting Boss at a Christmas party she attended with her parents
CONSTANTLY talks about how she goes to the gym TWICE a day
Is TOTALLY in love with a married coworker
Basically harrasses him on a daily basis
Carries fake Kate Spade and Prada purses, the BAD fake ones that were obviously never made by them
Wears a fake Rolex
Talks about her Dad like he is her husband (VERY WEIRD)

As you can see this makes for some pretty hilarious situations. Our office is very small, there are 3 women and a few men. At first I thought she was nice, but could tell she would be the first one to throw you under the bus if it benefitted her (which turned out to be very true). When I first started she would always talk about the other lady to me, and I just sat there like "WOW", so finally one day I decided to ask the other lady if she talked about me to her. Of course!!

It's so funny how she could be so clueless, at first I was angry that she had the nerve to say anything about me, but I realized its because I came in and made her look bad. I have busted my ass at this company and done some really great things since I started 3 months ago and I get positive feedback from my boss almost daily. She is jealous, plain and simple. At least it makes for good blog material!

**Sorry if anyone has fake items, I just think they are cheesy**

Should I?

Just a quick post before work, I have been debating on whether or not to tell y'all about Evil Co-worker Girl, not that anyone at work knows about my blog, but what if they found it? I wish I was more anonymous......b/c these are some great stories!! I REALLY wanna tell all........

Fabulousness

Thank you to The Bona Fide Preppy Bride for this award!

Here are my 5 Fabulous Things I love right now:

1. La Roche-Posay Effaclar K. This is THE BEST stuff ever!! Its acne medicine from France....I have not seen 1 single pimple since I started using it a few weeks ago. But the best part is that is literally zaps any blackheads you might have. My face is so smooth, I love it! I picked it up at Ulta on sale for $7, but its normally
$19.

2. Redken Forceful 23 Finishing Spray. Better than Hairspray, and actually smells good!

3. My husband who let me have my Christmas present a few weeks early, I will show later!

4. My job! I just got a 15% raise and promotion!

5. Last but not least, Green Tea Lattes from Starbucks. Yum!

Back from Oxford

2008-11-30T18:16:00.000-08:00

What a great Thanksgiving! Here is a little recap for you:

We got in Wednesday night and went to Proud Larry's for dinner and drinks with my brother. As we get our food, their Mom and Dad sit down at the table next to us!

Then on Thursday we took it easy, Mum and I cooked while my Dad and David took Miller to the park and ran into

Big Daddy, Dazed and Confused, you remember her right?

Then Friday was great! 45-0! David and I ended up just staying in the Grove, due to the bad weather, the early high score, and the whiskey.

Saturday we walked around the Circle and ate at City Grocery. It was a nonstop party, at least for me, I am really starting to feel my age.......I am so glad to be back home now!

Outfit Update

2008-11-23T18:47:00.000-08:00

The weather has thrown a wrench in my outfit plans, there is a 50% chance of thunderstorms for gameday.....so my dress and heels are not the best option for the muddy Grove. I picked these up today at Tar-jay:

I have a Herringbone jacket that I could wear with jeans and a black shirt. I am so mad about this, GRRRRR.....

I found really cute gold flats at Steinmart on Saturday to wear with my white dress, Thanks for all the advice!! I also picked up some things for David: khaki cords, a new pair of dress shoes, a sweater and a few ties. All for under $80!

Just 2 1/2 days of work left!!

Help!

2008-11-15T14:56:00.000-08:00

I found my Egg Bowl Outfit! I will be wearing the houndstooth number to the game and the white dress Saturday for dinner. I promise its winter white, the picture is a little bright.

I need help, can anyone suggest a shoe for the white one? Heels just don't look right, its a tough one.
