After posting my previous blog, I decided to exercise my brain. I went on an internet search for good brain teasers/riddles/etc. I found a site which offered a "Middle School Twister" and an "Elemantary Twister.
It is amazing what you tend to forget over the years, haha.
Unfortunately, I did not do so well with the Middle School level questions, but at least I got all of the Elemantary School level questions correct!!!

Try it here!

Make Someone Happy!

I am listening to Pandora Radio on my Blackberry, as I normally do at work to tune out noisy co-workers. Usually, I listen to Country Radio or Rap/Pop Radio of sorts...anything to keep me high-spirited throughout the day.

Well, this morning I decided to listen to Frank Sinatra Radio. There is nothing like the "classics." My headache is gone...and I feel happy!

This music makes me long for warmer weather and spring dresses to dance/glide around in!

...Big puffy white clouds...lush green grass...cherry blossoms...

This music also reminds me of spending summer days at my grandparents house. My grandmother and I would go to the library and rent old movies like, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." I've definitely seen that movie at least 20 times.

This song in particularly just made my morning :o)

The Stinky Lady

In keeping with the trend, I figured I must also share a little insight about "The Stinky Lady."

So, we have a "Stinky Lady" at work...and unfortunately, we aren't talking about the average stinky lady who has bad breath, or tends to forget her antiperspirant. She is stinky in, quite possibly, the worst possible way ever.

"The Stinky Lady" acquired her alias because of the stinge she leaves behind in the bathroom...

Yes, I know...EW. And yes, EW is sooooo appropriate.

How it came to surface...

Naturally, I, along with several of my close co-workers, started to notice a pattern every time we went in the bathroom behind her. We observed a peculiar odd smell and at first, we couldn’t really put our fingers on what it could possibly be (or, we just didn’t want to). However, we came to the horrifying terms that this woman was “stinky” and she was “stinky” DOWN THERE.

Now, us woman must all admit, we are familiar with such a stink, but we take heed to NEVER let happen (by means of daily hygiene, of course).

And as if that weren’t bad enough, this woman proved that she was not privy to the concept of AIR FRESHENER as she makes herself right at home with her daily #2 dumps. Seriously, she does not spray afterward. I know, unbelievable. U.N.B.E.L.I.E.V.A.B.L.E.

And to top it off (this one is for you E), she does not refill the toilet paper. Talk about rude, inconsiderate, and lazy!

Hahahahaha, go figure, as I’m typing this, guess who just came out of the bathroom!?!?!

Funny story…

One day, I got fed up with the inconsiderate stink and went on an air freshener spray frenzy. After sitting back down to my desk, and feeling quite proud of myself for having the balls to walk around holding my finger on the trigger for that long, I started to notice a few "hacks" and "coughs" coming from my fellow co-workers.

Soon after, I realized that I, too, couldn't breathe...my eyes were stinging...and my throat was dry. I proceeded to slouch back into my chair, nonchalantly, open my desk drawer and hide the Spiced Cider spray all the way in the back.

For the record (and possibly give her some credit...somehow), I have not noticed the unusual smell when standing next to her at the kitchen counter, or when passing in the hallway. But, regardless, EW...I already know the truth and nothing is going to change that. Like come on woman...eat your vegetables!

Final Thought:
And for the SECOND time since I began writing this...
Guess who seriously just walked into the bathroom again.

I can wait until I get home to go potty...

The Smelly Guy

So, we have this guy at work (JF) who continues to grace his fellow co-workers with the wonderful scents of last nights leftovers. The fart-like smelling food is, at least, a weekly occurance and unfortunately it affects everyone...as his office is next door to the office printer.

I just received the JF FOOD ALERT (JFFA) email warning...what a joy on this Friday afternoon.

From: L

To: All employees
Subject: JFFA! JFFA! JFFA!
Date: Friday, February, 12, 2010

Just a warning! If you need to come to the printer...JFFA!!! JFFA!!! JFFA!!!

Work is so entertaining when you have good friends to share in the humor of others...

Snowstorms of 2010

So, we never get snow...and if our area gets snow, it is usually as far north as possible (i.e. Williamsburg, Richmond). Well, here are a couple of pictures from the past THREE snows...all within the past week and a half!!
