happy wednesday

Its only Wednesday.  Longest week ever.  You know its a long week when you want to drink by Tuesday (which I did).  Then today I had a director ask my if I know how to take notes in a meeting and proceeded to remind me that she has done her time and no longer takes notes.  All this in front of other co-workers. What I wanted to say in return was not appropriate (or appropriate for my blog) so I just held it in....and then proceeded to finish the meeting, based on the notes that I took in the meeting in question, so yes I know how to take notes.  For lunch I had a latte and cupcake from Mildred's and I don't care.  Happy Wednesday to me.

Good thing this wasn't at the bridal shop when I bought my dress, I would have spent my unborn child's college education to have it....

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Kansas City gets very excited for this holiday, I mean Pauly from Jersey Shore will be in the Power and Light tonight! I am so glad I remembered that I have this shirt because it is perfect for today, even if I am breaking the dress code at work.

This video will NEVER get old and explains what my shirt means.  I hope everyone enjoys the day!

butter cream icing

Yesterday was my the first anniversary of my mom passing away. No, it wasn't a sad day. That doesn't mean that I didn't think about her, miss her or remember exactly where I was a year ago. It does mean I got through the first year.  They say its the hardest one, I hope they are right because it was a long one and it of course had its ups, but it had its downs...like nose dive into a black hole down. A down I have never experienced but I am better because I have.  I now know what it REALLY means to be sad.  Sorry ex-boyfriends, you got nothing on this.  Back to my point...yesterday wasn't sad, it was good.  Really, it was a good day and of course there is always something missing since my mom isn't here and yesterday didn't change that. So we made it, as a family, and of course with a cheers of red wine to my mom at dinner (a heart healthy dinner of salmon and risotto made by our family friends).  Another reason it wasn't sad is because I came home this this at lunch...flowers from Benjy and Miranda and Cheryl's Cookies from Stephanie and Andy.  The only butter cream icing better than Cheryl's was my mom's :)

having a rough day?
