Beware - The Cell Phone Camera

-

My little buddy at work, Mr. Vo, took this picture of me in a meeting yesterday. He's thinks it's fun to snap pictures and videos with that fancy phone of his without us knowing while we are at work or out to lunch. Luckily I saw him and was able to at least give him half a smirk. And he caught me on a good day - my socks match my sweater. Sometimes my socks don't even match each other.

This is my "I look like crap because I have been up since 4:00 AM look". It gets worse as the week goes on. Fortunately today is my last day to drive in for the week and tomorrow I work from home.

Cute picture of you...and yah...the first thing I thought of was "Nice Socks!" lol
What a relief not to have to drive in for awhile huh? After seeing your video of your commute...it would have put me in the nervous hospital!

Who's the woman behind you? What's in the candy jar? Are you keeping your hand warm?

Chewy, it's the year old toffee in the candy jar.

CJ - Yup, you look like hell (jk - you know you look good). ya know if my socks don't match what I am wearing I get paralized which is why until the snow flies, if I can get away with it, I am in flip flops. Yes I have a pair to go with almost every outfit.

Cute picture CJ, but I also want to know what is in the candy jar, and why the top of the file cabinet is so clean...:)

Tell Mr. Vo it's a great shot! And the new style is for your socks NOT to match your clothes OR each other...so you are stylin' during those days! So glad I work at a Junior High School to keep up on these important facts, ffs, lol.

Thanks Rubye Jean. Those are probably my favorite pair of socks. Yes, the commute does is a bit of a pain.

Shrinky is back! I don't know about adorable - sleepy is probably more like it.

The non-matching Weese is not as bad as the holes I sometimes have on the bottom. I hate to throw anything away.

Not sure if I am keeping my hand warm Chewy or if I just have to pee. (Kidding). The other lady is my buddy Emily who sits right across from me and used to be my neighbor when I lived in Boston. The candy of the month seems to be mints but sometimes it's chocolate.

Hey Cristina! I do think I look like hell. Lovely puffy eyes don't you think? Didn't know you were a flip flop girl.

That is actually the top of Mr.Vo's desk OC. He is very, very neat. It is not like my desk.

It's nice to have a contact Ms. Creek who knows what is in. I certainly do not! Mismatched socks would be a great thing - something I could actually keep up with.

LOL John. But am I smiling with my eyes? Does that sweater make me look fat?

I can beat you on the socks. Two weeks ago I found myself at work with mismatched shoes.

Hey NursePam - That is funny. I've never done that (not yet anyway). How bad was the mismatch? Hopefully they were at least the same color!

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
