I’m here and reporting for duty, sir

Yes, yes… it’s been so long. And it would probably be even longer except people (and by people, I mean Inga. Okay, fine… other people, too) have been bugging me to post something. I neglect the blog. The blog, it is neglected.

I was trying to post a nice sequence of events for you all but R kept interrupting me: “What are you blogging about, blogger?” and I went and lost my mojo. That R! *shake fist* Let’s try a list. When in doubt, list it out!

- I got the job in L.A. but only after a TWO WEEK approval process.

- Apparently, AZ took eons to get them the background check.

- AZ sucks.

- But, being a huge believer in “everything happens for a reason”, I’m just going to roll with that.

- It did suck turning the job down, though, but I felt good that the offer was extended.

- Kinda like being nominated, but not winning the award.

- Actually, it’d be more like WINNING the award, but giving it back.

- Where am I going with this?

- What am I talking about?!

- Let’s move on…

- I got the job here rather quickly.

- Rather quickly after FOUR interviews.

- Two of them, panel.

- *shake in boots*

- Actually, I wore heels.

- Both times.

- But that’s all I’m going to say since we all know the rules re: blogging about work… *zip lip*

- Great company, though… shhh…

- My apartment complex wanted a ridiculous amount to break the lease.

- There’s getting screwed, REALLY getting screwed and then there’s… THAT.

- A few days ago, I got a flyer on my door for a resident referral coupon.

- It made me laugh.

- LIKE I’D TELL ANYONE TO LIVE HERE.

- I’m sick.

- Really sick.

- I think Nic gave me her sickness when I went to her house for Easter.

- Ham, mashed potatoes, fruit kebabs, deviled eggs… and a side of crud.

- It was really fun, though.

- Afterwards, the 3 of us (R, the kid and I) went to see my brother R and sis-in-law B since they were in town.

- By “in town”, I mean “Scottsdale”.

- R has met quite a bit of my family.

- But there’s still a LOT more.

- My brother R, R (lol) and I drank pina coladas by the pool while the kids frolicked in the pool.

- The life.

- That was before I got sick.

- Really sick.

- I don’t get sick that often. Not like this.

- I’m driving R crazy with the whining.

- I can’t help it.

- Honnnneeeeeey, can you make me some teaaaaaaaaa? *sad face*

- I still went out last night.

- I couldn’t help that, either.

- It had been too long.

- I’m paying for it today, though.

- Actually, I’d feel like crap anyway soo - who cares?

- I had fun but…

- Men are weird.

- One guy at the bar asked what I was drinking…

- Ordered said drink from bartender…

- And still had me pay for it.

- Don’t get me wrong, I can buy my own drinks.

- I just think that’s weird.

- Really weird.

- One guy, really nice dresser, DID buy me a drink.

- But, he was married.

- We cancelled each other out, since hello?

- I have R.

- But I find it interesting that married guy has manners…

- Single man doesn’t.

- Must be why Mr. Married IS married.

- Mr. Married said: I don’t want anything from you or anything, I’m just being polite… but would you like a drink?

- Women need more men like him.

- He’s from Kalamazoo.

- Let’s go there.

- Actually, you go. I’ll stay.

- I have R.

- And thank God for that!
