The Rain in Spain...A Bloglette

It is raining today! Oh joyous, wondrous phenomenon of nature!! I want to bathe in the droplets! I want to run nude through the downpour!

Why oh, why do I have to work on such a day?

A Thing of Beaty is a Joy Forever...

Oh my word. How does once describe a perfectly sculpted jaw? Eyes framed by beautiful, yet masculine brows and a broad smile that could melt even the iciest of hearts?

Which brings me to a question: Could you date someone who is wayyyyyyyyy better looking than yourself?

California-She's a Calling!

There are ants in my pants, yet again. Today I will be boarding a flight to LAX where my sister and her family will be waiting for me to take me out for "the best clam chowder in the world." Good company, good food, and California! Who could want for more? Show me the greedy bast*rd and I'll give him a swift kick in the groin. Huzzah!

Speaking of kicks in the groin, Mr. Freaky Foot Fetish man called the office again. The investigators from security came to see me and get a report. Maurice, who is overseeing the investigation is a wonderful man who is taking this very seriously. It's nice to know my company cares about my safety. He warned me to take it very seriously as well. According to him, a lot of predators start with phone calls and if they aren't caught, they get bolder and move on to physical contact and things like that. He also had some disturbing news on what they had uncovered so far.
According to our PBX providers and Sprint who looked into how the man could be calling from extension 7115, the boardroom right behind where I sit, there is no way (that they know of) that he could have cloned that. The call had to have been coming from behind us.
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhghghghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I do have faith in our security department though, and know my feet and I will be protected.

This Morning...

This morning I woke up in a snug cucoon of blankets and pillows...
This morning the sun was warm and bright shining through my window...
This morning I had Peach Fresca for breakfast...
This morning on my way to work I saw a gremlin of a person peeking out from behind the steering wheel of a car far too large for them and it made me laugh out loud...
This morning I listened to an Elvis song in the car...
This morning a coworker complimented my new, short-short bangs and blonde hair...
This morning is flying by quickly...
This morning is almost over...
This morning was a very good morning.

25, eh?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZY-Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOAH!!!

Guess who I just heard from for the first time in 6 months???? Alex!! And he proposed!!!





















I, of course declined.

If You Could See Me Now!

I'm totally wearing jeans at work. It is so great. My first "casual Friday" since I worked for Utah State back in November of 01. It feels sooooo right! Friday feels more real when I'm not wearing a skirt and heels. Holler if you hear me!
BUT here is something that feels very wrong. It may SNOW here, on the valley, this weekend! I don't like that! I don't like that at all! Makes me wish I was back in Florida...beautiful South Beach. Warm....

I LOVE Espanol!

It's finally happened-I'm so excited. A breakthrough in my attempt at learning Spanish. I dreamed in Spanish last night!!! Granted, it was all pretty basic-stuff like nosotros bailimos a la discotech...things like that, but still! I really feel like this means I'm absorbing the language. Maybe now I'll finally be able to buckle down and study, knowing that it is not a completely lost cause.
Places I want to go when I'm fluent:
NOT El Salvador....I hear their prisons suck.
Costa Rica-You still in, Michi?
Spain
Cuba-I'll smuggle myself in and out somehow!

Arriba!

Blars!

So Ethan may be coming to visit this weekend!!! I'm so excited to see him and since he is developing a great musical style lately I want to burn him a CD. Any suggestions? Here's what I have so far...

Coldplay - Speed of Sound (already know he loves it)
The Shins - They'll Soon Discover
Wilco - Just a Kid
Death By Chocolate - Ice Cold Lemonaide
Ben Folds Five - Stephen's Last Night in Town
Shout Out Louds - Sweetheart
Suzy Quatro - Your Mom Won't Like Me
Travis - Why Does it Always Rain on Me
Postal Service - DC Sleeps Tonight

Any suggestions, ladieeeeeeees?

You'd be my type...if you weren't such a FREAK!

Yesterday afternoon, right before leaving work I had the privelage of filling out my very first harrasmant form!! It was very exciting. Jennie and I both got to fill one out. The situation is a little strange...so I'll start from the beginning.
As you know, a very large part of my job is answering phones. Our phones have internal caller ID, so when someone calls from within the hotel we can see the extension and department or name of the caller. For the past few months, we've been getting calls and caller ID says "Executive Boardroom, ext 7115." Well, that is the boardroom within our offices, directly behind where Jennie and I sit. DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE JENNIE AND I SIT. This is a relevant point, I promise. The caller would simply hang up whenever Jennie and I answered. We didn't think much of it until last Thursday when Jennie got an obscene call from that extension. This was after hours when she was closing...all ALONE! She told me about it the next morning, and then we forgot about it. Until yesterday afternoon, the same caller from the same extension called. This time I was the privelaged recipient. The breathy man asked if he could be "king of my castle" and wanted to know what kind of shoes I was wearing. I told him he was being innappropriate and that I was going to disconnect....he then told me "I don't understand why you're being so difficult. I just want to give you a foot massage." I hung up on him. He was so creepy, I could tell he was really enjoying the call and my discomfort. We had to file a report with security and they are doing an investigation. Sad thing is, I like feet...I like foot massages. If this guy wasn't a creepy perv calling random people about their feet, we may have hit it off. It's all in the execution ya know?

My Name is Judge

Friday night's Arrested Development party was a huge success...but it was a bittersweet success. When the final episode came to a close, I wanted to cry. Good thing I was going out to JET with my friend Erin and two handsome gents, which distracted me from my sorrows for a time. But let's discuss the highlights:
*Franklin's many voices, including Judge's and the Dr.'s
*The way GOB looked when Michael came to visit him in prison
*Lindsay claiming she was going to marry Michael, since she was adopted.
*The way they spelled "Penus" on the computer.
*George Michael and Michael running away to Mexico
*A home filler in Iraq shaped like a nuclear warhead.

This post is now open for discussion...

Knickers

I bought knickers last week. Yes indeedy, knickers. I'm wearing them to work tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
Let me tell you what possessed me to purchase knickers:
1. They remind me of Oliver Twist
2. As a faithful, endowed member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I seldom get to show of my leg much about the shin. Knickers reveal my sexy kneecaps without being immodest.
3. My bum looks adorable in them.
4. Most important of all-it is finially warm enough to wear such things! Ah, mid-70s weather, how I do love thee. I hope your friend mid 80s and your cousin mid 90s will be joining us soon. My sexy kneecaps and shins are oh-so in need of some sun.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Finally time to go home!!!

Another Suzy Adventure in Wonderland

I arrived at work this morning and began my robotic routine of opening the offices for business. Lights were turned on, coffee bubbled happily in silver pots, and I began to stock the refrigerators with various soft drinks and bottled waters. As I reached to the pantry for a few of cans of Fresca, however I realized I wasn’t alone. Slowly, shakily I glanced over my shoulder. My visitors eyed me with curiosity from the fruit bowl. Red hide with cruel-looking thorns all over, the creatures seemed hostile. Paralysis took over as I feared any sudden movement on my part would cause them to attack. Minutes passed, then hours*, and finally I decided to creep away and make my escape.
The door was near, as was freedom and safety. My hand felt the cool brass of the doorknob, but something held me back. I looked back again at the creatures who sat still as statues…then fear turned to desire and I had to have, had to feel it’s thorns touch my skin…
Quick as lightening, I snatched one and took it to my desk. Cut open the thick outer shell and was delighted to find what looked like a giant grape inside. Sweet and juicy, its nectar filled my soul with enlightened satisfaction. But what is this strange fruit of which I partake? No one seems to know. It is NOT a prickly pear though, we have established that much.

Awkard Moments

So I bumped into the Useless Vine and his freakishly thin fiancé at church yesterday. I’d love to tell Gena said fiancé was fat and ugly and the stinging smell of urine permeated from her pores…but I can’t. She’s incredibly square…I’ve seen more style on a box of Cheerios, and incredibly snotty, but I have to admit she is a pretty little thing. Even if she does wear her hair in a super-slick boarding school teacher bun. The good news is Mike was looking as icky as ever…with new mutton chops he simply can’t pull off, and way too much gel in his hair, his fishy eyes glazed with self-righteous hypocrisy…I’m using ellipses way to much this bloglette…but I…just…can’t…stop. Gena pointed out something amusing…when I get dumped, I don’t hold anything against the guy at all. Really, no matter the situation I blame myself. But if a guy dumps my friend or my sister…forgettubout it! I just can’t let go! Interesting psychology.

Everything You Need.

TGIF! Once again, there is a tast of excitment in the atmosphere that can only mean one thing-another weekend is upon us. Superbowl weekend, at that. Now, to avoid a repeat of last year's boring Superbowl party allow our party expert Suzy WannabeeJapanimae give you a few helpful hints.

Greetings all! I'm Suzy WannabeeJapanimae here to help you spice up your party! Now, there's absolutely no time to waste so let's get started!
1. Snacks are the essence of every good get together. Here, I'm enjoying a variety. Candy corn, hot tamales, Chinese take-out, Perrier and of course, 7 Up Plus. 7 Up Plus is my personal favorite, being that it is delicious, low in sugar and calories and has a few added nutritional benefits like calcium. I would also suggest a pizza of some sort, and definitely a pie or two.
2. Two words-Party Favors! Everybody loves something to wave around their head at party,, be it a balloon on a string, a streamer of sorts, or soap on a rope.
3. Football is tres boring. Offer an alternative viewing option, such as a movie or film strip. This will keep everyone happy, and ensure a succesful superbowl party.

Go...team of some sort!
