Another 2 weeks

Sigh, another 2 weeks. Sucky 2 weeks. Same old shit.

Went out with Cindy last Friday. Started out as a nice wine tasting then dinner, then a movie. Turned into wine drinking, dinner/drinks, then going to the bowling alley to see T and staying till after 2am talking to Julie/Michelle and Amy, we had a blast. Then going to the Casino. OMG. Totally should not have done that. ouch

But I am excited that next saturday for my big 40th birthday I am going out Saturday night with Cindy and T to see the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


Downtown!

Midnight MOVIE!!!

Way beyond excited to see that. I saw that as a teenager. Woo Hoo!!!!

Work is blah, the weather is typical St. Louis October. Rainy/chilly/cloudy. Happens every year.

Going to the woods with dh and the kids sunday.

Johnny's last swimming lesson is saturday. They are BEYOND excited about Halloween coming up. Charlie is in the same costume as last year and Johnny got an awesome fireman costume.

Ok, another update

Here's my fall garden pictures. Took another gardening class. I enjoy those.











Took both kids bowling today. We had alot of fun! They are so adorable and they totally enjoyed it and were very good.

Johny is doing great with his swimming lessons. He jumped in the pool and went under the water! I am so happy and so proud of him!!!!!

Now that the class from hell is over, I will enjoy my time on this new project that I went to London to learn.

Phew!!! The New Hire CLASS is DONE!!!!!

OMG. Those were the most stressful 5 weeks I have ever been through. That class was Murder!!!!! I've been so cranky and stressed out. They're new hires only learning a 2 products on 3 systems easy right? LOL NOT! One guy kept giving me a hard time and either instant messaging or surfing the internet. No respect. And I used to like him alot too. The rest were ok, but these are ADULTS, and intelligent ones at that. They didn't play. I had to be 100% on my game all the time. I had to learn assertiveness. I came away from this with a big lesson that I have to toughen up. Watch I'll be a total bitch to the next class cause of these assholes. LOL

It just makes me grateful for my first class, the were so great!

Did I mention the 5 flights of stairs I had to climb in London?? Eek!

Sunday: Arrived, no luggage etc. Walked around a bit, crossed the footbridge over the Thames river to see where the office was. Went downstairs and found the subway. Subways (The Tubes) in London are amazing. You'd have to be pretty stupid to get lost using these things. Color me impressed. In bed by 10:30pm

Monday: Had to go to the meeting no make up, stinky clothes, no hair gel, no laptop etc. Took the subway to Leister Square which is like Times Square in NY. Did some souvenier shopping and ate at a steak restaurant. GREAT DINNER! Walked around to Picadilly Circus and took the tube back to the hotel. Stayed up late drinking beer in the lounge in the hotel lobby, everyone was having so much fun I enjoyed just watching the people.

Tuesday: FELT LIKE SHIT!!! Luggage came, I felt horrible from staying up late the night before. Work was blah, then after work took a walk with this lady named A. She was Very nice, we had lots to talk about but she walked my fat ass all over London. It was amazing! The weather was beautiful. We had a beer at one of the oldest Pubs in England. The pubs are so beautiful on the outside. Saw lots and lots. Walked around these tiny little streets. London is so expensive, I could never afford to live there. Ate dinner at this tiny local place.

Wednesday: Work then went out after work with co workers to a pub then to dinner. Had a great beer and a nice meal. It was very enjoyable. The lifts were slow so one of the guy made us all walk up 5 flights of stairs. Thought my heart was going to explode.

Thursday: Got cut loose early, grabbed a tube to Wesminster Abbey but it was closed. Walked around a bit and jumped a bus to Trafalgar Square, wasn't much there so jumped on a double decker bus for $40 bucks but drives all around the city with a voice tour. Promised a boat ride but they stopped running. But it was worth it.

Friday, work then left at 12:30. Getting home wasn't bad. Walked in the door before midnight which was what I anticipaged. Loved Heathrow airport. Smoking lounge right next to the gates. Free samples of whiskey!

London Update

Been a week since I've been back. Exhausted every night, in bed by 10:30pm, getting 8 hours uninterrupted sleep. Still recovering from that trip.

The original 6:25 flight was delayed so they put me on a 4:50 to Chicago, I jumped on it grateful for the chance. Then made the connection to London. Got stuck 3rd seat out of 5. These 2 lunkhead guys on either side of me fell asleep and didn't move a muscle the entire 8 hours!!!!! The plane didn't take off till 9:15 waiting on luggage from all the connecting flights.

The flight up SUCKED. Got through the passport thingie ok, then find out I HAVE NO LUGGAGE!!!! It was on another plane not getting in until 11pm london time. The would deliver it to the hotel the next Morning.

SO I HAD TO GO TO THE BUSINESS MEETING MONDAY MORNIING IN Jeans and shirt that I slept in the night before. AND

NO MAKEUP

NO HAIRBRUSH

NO MAKEUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That beyond freaked me out, this is a business meeting!!!! I've never gone to work with no makeup.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm checked in the hotel about 2pm london time. There's

No ice machine in the hotel

No soda machine in the hotel

What the fuck?

I watched Tv but kept falling asleep cause I was so exhausted. Then walked around the Canary Wharf area, found the subway and the office. Went to sleep at 10pm. EXHAUSTED

Next morniing went ok but I didn't have my laptop, it was in my luggage. Everyone's skinny in London, the food sucks. Everything is all natural, no sugar, none of the fattening fillers in our foods. Like tuna/cucumber on wheat toast. Or prawn/lettuce on wheat. YUCK. Downstairs in the mall it's row after row of Sandwhiches for lunch.

I get back from the office Monday night and found ALL THE REST of my stuff gone!!!!

My magazines, my blanket, my slippers, my bag of soda gone!!!! I sat on the bed and bawled my head off. Turns out the maid thought I checked out and brought it all to the lost and found, but chucked the magazines.

so the luggage came in but the rest of my stuff was gone! unreal

more later.
