i chose not to post my post on this blog. (haha! 'post my post'... why does this stuff crack me up?!). instead, i chose to post it on my own blog. i figured it's best for me to take up a lot of space in my own space. damn. i'm on a roll.

so, if you choose to accept... please feel free to accept this viewing invitation to my blog post at daringliontamer213.

Jeez Chineez: V-DAY

The day of looooove. Valentine's Day is just around the corner!! And I have never been less interested! Don't get me wrong...I am always all about Valentine's Day. But give me my husband returning from a deployment in Iraq any day and Valentine's Day is officially blown clear out of the water. However...we still want to do something nice...after all, it is Valentine's Day. About two weeks ago, I called a restaurant we both like to make Valentine's Day reservations. Little did I know that this particular restaurant did not believe in love, Valentine's Day, or having a good time. It's a shame really. Read on:
"Hi, are you accepting reservations for Valentine's Day?"
"Yes, we are!"
"Okay, I'd like to make a reservation."
"Okay, how many?"
"Two."
"Oh, I'm sorry. We only accept reservations of 4 or more..."
"........................even though.......it's......Valentine's Day?"
"Yeah."
"Okay...uh...uh...uh...uh...well...uh...bye..."
Yes. This is a true story. Some businesses just don't use common sense. So John and I are just going to have to find one that does. I boycott stupidity. Sorry unnamed restaurant. As lovely as your food is, I don't want to spend Valentine's Day eating with a crowd of people. Since I haven't seen my husband in over 6 months, I plan on having a romantic candle-lit dinner with him. Period. Reservation for TWO. Period. And YOU just don't cut the grade this Valentine's Day.
In fact...you know what? Screw restaurants! I'm going to make the kickest assest (true story) Valentine's Day meal EVER. Eat that!

JeeVee: The Poster Saga - Book 1 - Out for Blood!

Remember this fabulous piece of art? Well..the talented arteeest behind that masterpiece has now moved into the back office with us. Welcome...Josh!

When Rach was sitting there, she was infamous for her quirky little toys and her knick knacks all around her desk. Well, not much has changed - Josh is all about it too. See -

mini bowling pins...

play-doh

goodluck gargoyle

Oh...and this one is special - LOL!!

Yes, there is a story to this!

Apparently, Josh and Rachel (from sales) made an agreement to have the power to hang whateeeeeeeever poster they wanted in eachother's 'work space.' So, Rachel snuck in this morning before Josh got here to surprise him with a poster of her super fave, Taylor Lautner.

All I have to say is that Josh is out for blood...[get it? wolf pack? team jacob, out for (vampire) blood? lol! I know..a knee slapper! Jeez Chinese - I know you got it!!]...till book 2...[dun dun dun]

Jeez Chineez: So Long, Farewell...

Well...amazingly enough two weeks has just FLOWN by. I've enjoyed being in the office. It's truly a beautiful thing, the dynamic of the office. All the little quirky things that make it so great...I love it. And I love everyone. I missed you all and I will miss you when I leave tomorrow. Thank you for my chair back and for my very own desk back too. It's been great. I'll miss our workout ball stretch sessions and gab sessions in front of the giant mirror (an outsider must think this sounds so weird...) and of course foos (I finally played!!) and hearing people foos and lunches and early morning coffee and how much I love spying on Bainbridge Island people from my window. Sighhhhh...
The Christmas party was OFF the hook, as usual (we've gotta do an official blog on that, yo) and I seriously couldn't spend Christmas any other way than with you guys.
I love you all. Until next time. KEEP ME IN THE LOOP!!
