A day at The Office

I make it a point to not discuss work on my blog. It's just not professional and I don't enjoy mixing my personal and professional lives. However, I MUST share this story from today. I'm going to use names from the show The Office to distinguish the real life characters. They will be Dwight, Andy and Kelly. And Pam pretty much defines my every day life.

So it begins in the breakroom. Andy doesn't usually eat lunch in there, but today he did for whatever reason. So at 12:30, like clockwork, Kelly and I went into the breakroom to eat. As we're both warming up our food in the microwave, Dwight walks in and asks what everyone is eating. Why it's necessary for him to know what we're eating, I'm not really sure. So, turns out that Kelly and I had both brought meatloaf. Random but funny.

After we each announce what we're eating, Dwight proceeds to tell us about something he recently saw on TV about eating meat. Whatever stupid show he saw, it apparently said that the human body doesn't need meat and blah blah blah. Oh, also that people live longer if they don't eat meat. Really? Because I don't fucking care. I'll die when I'm supposed to die and I don't need you telling me what I shouldn't be eating to keep me living past 90-years-old.

Dwight and Andy began debating about this back and forth.


Andy, very carefully and without being rude, seemed to be saying exactly what I was thinking. Dwight made himself sound like an idiot while lingering around. Kelly jumped in here and there to validate points, while I kept my head down reading my newspaper. Kelly knows me well enough to know I was annoyed and just wanted to eat lunch in peace without this idiotic conversation going on and without them in the room. She gave me a slant of the eye and we both smirked.

Finally something funny happend. Dwight said, "We'll I've been a juicer for about 7 years and that works well for me." Kelly shot back with, "Isn't that code for HEROIN?" I couldn't stop laughing on the inside. I tried not to show it on the outside.

Dwight finally retreated and left the breakroom, after wasting about 20 minutes of my peaceful lunch hour. And me, being Pam, just has this look on my face the whole time.

Absolutely Fabulous!



The shoes that Stella McCartney is wearing in this picture are so amazing! I absolutely love the simplicity of the look. But I've been trying and trying to figure out how she walked in them. There doesn't seem to be anything that would keep them on her feet with the toes or heels of the foot.

Thoughts on how this is possible?

Need to make more room in the closet

So when my aunt got remarried last year to a man named Michael Jackson, I wasn't sure what all he'd bring to the table in our family besides some jokes about his name. Sure, he was extremely nice and great with her daughter, but what can he do for ME? (I'm being a bit sassy; I never actually thought that until on Sunday when I realized how much his presence in my family benefitted me.)

See, Zappos.com is based out of Louisville, my real home. Michael Jackson works at Zappos in their mechanical department. Michael Jackson also recieves an incredible discount at their warehouse in Louisville. And lucky for me, I was in Louisville this weekend. Hello, Uncle Mike!

On Sunday we took a little trip to what I like to call heaven. I bought FOUR pairs of shoes (Steve Madden sandals, Steve Madden flats, Steven heels and some other gorgeous heels but I forgot the name on them) for SEVENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS. Yes, that is $77.00 for FOUR pairs of shoes. My sister got 3 pairs and a Jessica Simpson purse, all for for $59. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!!!

So, that was 4 new pairs of shoes that I get to play with. Then, I come back to work today from my vacation, and my Jessica Simpson Teluride pumps that I ordered before I left are here waiting for me!

FIVE PAIRS OF SHOES WITHIN THREE DAYS!!!!!

Thank you, shoe gods. Thank you.

Ouch

Not to sound dramatic or anything, but having your heart broken feels a lot like someone came up behind you, put a sack over your body, dragged you to the middle of nowhere and beat you to a pulp, then left you there to figure out how to crawl out and find your way back home.

So true

"I dont get the press's perception of her as a desperate woman. She's been with every hot guy from Brad Pitt to John Mayer. She's not tragic, she's amazing."

Soul Food


This coming weekend couldn't come at a more perfect time. Little, Best Friend, Dub and I will be getting away for a couple of days for a much needed reunion and some girl time. After a rough week and a broken heart - which is entirely too fresh to discuss, unfortch - this will be good for the soul! My best girls, drinks and the beach. I don't think it could get much better :) I'm sure there will be some exciting stories to come...
