It's confirmed...

I've been keeping an eye out for my little old lady with the umbrellas and she does in fact have a different color for each outfit....

(Soon to come...Halloween Walk pictures...but I'm having technical difficulties getting them onto an comptuter with the internet...I am going to aim for tomorrow...but no promises)

A Little OCD...

So you know how if you own a restaraunt or a Fudge Factory or just in your own person food supply you are suppossed to rotate your stock...you know...when you buy a new can of cream of mushroom soup you put it behind the one you bought 3 years ago so you use the old stuff first...

I find myself rotating our office supply stock...and I'm pretty sure there is no need for it...

For example...when I load paper into my printer...I always make sure to put those last 2 or 3 sheets from the previous bunch on top of the the new bunch...I feel bad for those last few sheets that might never get used otherwise...

Also...I rotate my paper clips. I have a big container of paper clips that sort of looks like a trivial pursuit game piece...it has 6 different colors of paper clips in it and when I first got in the office they were all mixed up. I took some time out of my day and separated them all and now I only use one color per day so that they all have a chance at being used. But it honestly frustrates me that only the top ones get used...so every once in a while I 'stir' up the section so the ones at the bottom get a chance...

I do the same with the post-its...binder clips...and even the clip boards in the office that we use sometimes...

I'm pretty sure this is a disease...and it could be cured with good medication...

There's no place like home...

This week...and I know it is only Tuesday...but this week has been full of home references...

*Sunday in testimony meeting our bishops wife got up and walk talking about how they got to go to Nauvoo this past week...

*Monday at work I was on the phone with a guy named Matt and we were talking about what a crazy day it had been (refering to stolen backflow assemblies) and then he said...at least the weather is nice...and I said...Ya, I just moved here from Illinois and I was worried that it would never cool down...and he said...Oh, I moved here from Illinois too...(somewhere in southern Illinois I believe)...

*At Lane Bryant last night we had a lady in wanting to get some warmer clothes for a trip she is taking "up north"...so I was thinking Minnesota or Canada...no...she is going to Illinois and Indiana...I know that I consider that 'up north'...but it was an Illinois reference all the same...(she pronounced the 's' in Illinois...which bugs me...alot...)

*That same night at Lane Bryant I had a lady in buying clothes and she said that when she visits her son in Arizona she usually just ends up shopping all the time....so I asked her where she was from and ...you guessed it...Illinois...

*SHUT UP!!! JUST THIS VERY INSTANT MY PHONE RANG AT WORK AND THE CALLER I.D. SAID ILLINOIS!!! WOW....THAT IS AMAZING...(even though it is just a telemarketer)...

All these references to the Mother Land have made me all the more excited to go home in less than a week...Oh my goodness the anticipation is killing me...

Be prepared for a blog full of pumpkin walk pictures....my dog...possibly La Casa Salsa...maybe the Adventure Zone... who knows really...

Tut Tut...looks like rain...

My job is located in Tempe Az...but every morning I have to drive into Phoenix to deliver some meter reads to the City of Phoenix...
And almost every day on my way back from the City of Phoenix building I see a fairly well dressed older Mexican lady walking down the road. She usually has on some sort of business looking out fit...a jacket and a skirt...and she is carrying a bag...and she ALWAYS...has an umbrella and it ALWAYS matches her outfit perfectly...
I can't decided if all of her outfits match the one umbrella...or if she has an umbrella for every outfit...
I'm going to pay closer attention because that is one item I have never thought to accessorize with my outfit...but if she has...then I think that is sort of cute...

Public Service Announcement...

It has been over a week since I have had any soda...diet or otherwise...

I miss it...

Well...that was rude...

I am sorry for disappearing without a trace on my blog...I know all of you have surely been in a quandry wondering where I have been. I'm still here...but I just don't have any internet at home anymore. My roomate who set up the internet at the house is moving out and she said she wasn't going to take the motem and router and stuff with her...but then she did...so we are out of the loop in our apartment...
I did have a few minutes before I have to leave work and I am mostly caught up on my work so I thought I'd sneak a quick blog in before I left...
Not much is going on...Just working a ridiculous amount it seems like. I'm trying to pay of my ridiculous credit cards and then I think I might cut back on my second job. But...maybe I won't.
I am going home in less than two weeks for...you guessed it....THE PUMPKIN WALK!!! I serioulsy wait all year for this to come....and I wasn't going to let a little thing like a few thousand miles get in the way. I'll be home for over a week and I am so excited because it will not be in the 90's there....I miss my dog...and I will get to eat at La Casa Salsa again...sigh...
