More of my Randomness

Ok, first off, can I just say I love you guys! Don’t get me wrong, I love all of ya’ll but I gotta call some people out this morning. When I got in this morning at 8,(YES, ME! At 8AM!) I had a nice message from NYABG. Then as I am already toiling away around 9, Shawn and Chele come with the encouragement. I tell you, this just makes my morning. Well, that and hearing Little Sidney say “Morning Auntie, Sherie” on the days I pick ShellyP up.

Last night we went to this really great Spanish restaurant in Little Havana. It was Casa Panza, on Calle Ocho. We had pitchers of Sangria and lots of Tapas. There was a singer and lots of dancing. I admit. I suck at dancing to Salsa, Meringue, and anything remotely similar to that. But it was so much fun anyway. There were 7 of us, 2 couples and 3 single people, but only 2 women. At one point JG and his partner were dancing, IL and her hubby were dancing, and SW and I were dancing. Then JG and IL switched partners. SW just said to me “I am NOT dancing with JG!” I was laughing so hard! So IL and I switched and I danced with JG’s partner. He was so funny because he kept bumping into this REALLY hot guy on purpose. I didn’t stop dancing because I was tired, I had to stop because my sides hurt from laughing so hard. It was great, just what the DR ordered.

I didn’t tell you guys about the book release party I went to, did I? It’s the book Fly On the Wall by Trista Russell. Now, I’m not much for this type of book really, but I am a huge book fan. I would have probably never picked it up browsing in a store, but I’m about ¾ of the way through and it’s pretty good. Sister can sure paint a vivid (STEAMY) picture. Maybe it’s just me, maybe I just need a man, but OH MY! Anyway, the premise of the story is a bit controversial. It’s about a 32 year old teacher that is dating her 18 year old student. It’s not illegal, it’s just a bit unethical and kinda icky. The party was nice. It was a little bit of a drive, but not that bad. ShellyP came along with another friend. There was food, drinks, gift bags, prizes, and people re-enacted scenes from the book. The room was decorated with plastic bugs everywhere. Why did it take me half way through the thing to realize why there were plastic flies stuck to the wall? Umm, Duh! Fly On the Wall… and I wasn’t even drinking. LOL.

SW leaves tomorrow. He has been here for about 2 months and I’ll miss him. He works over in our office in England. It’s been great having him here. I think I’ve done more the past couple of months than I did my first year here in Florida. I can easily spend my weekends in my pajamas reading and watching TV if I don’t have encouragement to get out. Besides that, SW has traveled everywhere is encourages me to do the same. And he sees some of the issues we have in our office that Shelly, Ben, and I talk about all the time. It’s nice when an outsider agrees with you because it kind of validates that there are issues and you aren’t just complaining for nothing. Anyway, He’s off to Brazil when he gets back to England and after that, who knows. He said if I’m over there on my world wind traveling, I can stay with him and his fiancé. One of my other co-workers over there offered to take me to France and we have family friends in Germany. It looks like I’m all set if I travel Europe.

Ok. This post started off so positive, but I’m not feelin’ it anymore. I was determined not to bitch about work, but they are already stressing me the fuck out and it’s not even 11! I think I need a drink…
