Do you think Daisy can pass as a little girl at SeaWorld?

We're planning a little trip to San Diego and we won't be taking our little Daisy along. Once I knew we had someone to watch Daisy I felt better about leaving her behind but now that I'm with her and it is just the two of us watching House reruns I'm beginning to think that I wish we could take her along. Daisy would like SeaWorld. She'll try to play with all the sharks and lick them all to death. And then when she finds Shamu she'll try to jump in and be part of the show. At least Zac would probably find a way into Shamu's pool too so they can both be like little fishies. I'm in the process of figuring out which outfit will make her look more like a little kid. Maybe I should get her Princess Leia outfit out.

Daisy will be fine without us here. She'll probably be the cool girl with the parents that go out of town. She'll throw a huge kegger and invite all the neighborhood dogs, cats and desert wildlife.

She is pretend sleeping. I know she is waiting for me to go to sleep so she can get on my computer and send evites out for her kegger.

Dear Miss S,

Please read on in regards to your previous email.

Since about mid-January I have had your account. Every week since this account I have sent you an open order report. This past week I was a bit overwhelmed with forecasting that I did not send any of my vendors an open order report instead I emailed my vendors questions I had. Every week since I have had you as my contact I have heard from you at least 10 times a day and have spoken to you on the phone at least twice a week. I have sent you orders only to find out you have stock. I have cancelled orders only to create new ones to pull from your stock. I have done what I need to do and you mess everything up by confusing the hell out of me and yourself to the point where we have no idea where we are at anymore.

Then I receive that email from you on Friday requesting I send you a new open order report every week. Fine. I can send you one every week no problem. What I didn't appreciate was you emailing everyone in the merchandising department. They don't have anything to do with open order reports. They don't tell me how to do my job. They know jack shit about half the things I do.

I don't understand if its something coming from your supervisors but this shit of emailing everyone at my job is ridiculous. If you want something done by me, you ask me and if it is really that important cc my manager.

This may seem stupid and insignificant but it really irks me that a stupid ass email is sent to everyone in the company for something only one person needs to know about. So get your act together and stop bothering everyone. The next email I actually send you will go to everyone in your company including YOUR MOM!

Have a wonderful day.

Me.

i bought some crocs

For the longest time I wondered why anyone would ever wear Crocs. People would wear the bright orange or lime green ones to the mall and I just didn't get it. Then I heard they were really comfy. Still, I thought they were ugly. At Costco they have had these shoes for $20. I told someone I would buy them the next time I went to Costco. So Friday night I got them and I love them. Now I want like three different styles and I want to buy a pair for everyone, unfortunately big foot won't get any b/c I have a feeling the mens 12/13 size won't be big enough. Plus he thinks I'm weird for wearing them around all the time now.

The best VD I've ever had!

The last thing I wanted to do today was go to work. I would rather have stayed home with Zac and Daisy and enjoy the cloudy and windy day. Well I went to work and around mid-morning our booster club started delivering Valentine-grams. They were advertising a $3 package that included a balloon, a takeout box with 2 fortune cookies inside it. Our VP bought all us control buyers one of the grams. Later a SOS was sent out to help deliver more of these V-grams around the company. So as the good and kind-hearted person I am, I volunteered along with my fellow co-worker MJ. We took about 3 batches of V-grams. 2 of the batches had to be delivered across the street to the marketing building. Well the wind tied all the balloons together and so we spent several minutes trying to sort it all out. It was fun to waste some time.

When I got home the house smelled so good and I found flowers, cookies and a bottle of champagne on the table along with a card. I was so happy but then things got even better. My brothers called me and my nephews wished me a happy valentine day. Saul was prompted to say "I love you, Tia." Instead he blurted out "I like Zac." Then he started counting and I guess his new thing is saying "1,2,3,4, skeleton,5,6....." Cute kid! Then my other nephews Adrian and David called me and thanked me for the valentine present we sent them. David went crazy over the Venom valentine I sent him. It was great to hear from all of them! I also sent flowers to my parents and so my mom was so happy. Now things didn't stop there. Zac also recorded another song for me and he had dinner ready for me.

So even though I'm by myself at the moment because Zac had to work, it has been a wonderful day!

I hope all of you have/had a great day!

i need my NPR fix

Every morning when I get to work I have a routine. I start up my computer, get my phone out, put my lunch away and get my breakfast out. I then start up the NPR and listen to my favorite show called The Bryant Park Project. I get my news from here and I learn a lot about what is going on in the world. Where do you think I learned about the stimulus package and about P.Diddy buying up all the booze in AZ?

Yesterday I was listening to an interview with Cookie Monster and it made me feel like a kid again. I was so happy for like 10 minutes and I wanted to go straight home and watch Sesame Street.

I also get to learn about incredible products such as Subtle Butt.

I heart Sawyer

I have been slowly rewatching the previous 3 seasons of LOST. After I watch all the episodes then I'll go back to watching the commentaries and bonus features.

I think my absolute favorite Sawyer moment is in the first episode from season 3. Its where Sawyer is stuck in the bear cage and he finally figures out the contraption and the circus music starts playing and he starts waving his arms as if conducting the music. He is so proud of himself only to find out all he gets is a fish biscuit, some kibble and some water. The best part is when Tom tells him it took the bears only 2 hours and Sawyer asks "How many were there?"

year of the rat

Today is Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year. I hope those of you that celebrate are enjoying your 3 weeks to month off of work. I hope you are enjoying your vacation while I'm still at work being constantly reminded that it is Chinese New Year and that all the factories are closed.

I'm jealous. I wish I could celebrate Chinese New Year.
