have you had your latin kiss today?

"sweet caroline...good times never seemed so good"--neil diamond

hey hey
i don't think anything really exciting happened yesterday, i went to target, woo hoo! i got a new umbrella, it was like $3 and a new necklace, also $3. awesome..and im trying this new deodorant, i'm not sure if it's working...i know, gross. but i'm not sweating, so that's good i guess. (do i normally sweat indoors?) whatever. i came back and did some laundry and packed for my weekend with the boy. the plans for this weekend involve swimming, date night, some good wine and shopping for my house...and cuddling. sounds good to me!

hmm...let's see, this morning i woke up to lots of darkness due to the monsoon storm...it thundered a lot but wasn't raining when i left. it started raining hard part way to 2222, and i had a great time hydroplaning on 2222, it scared the crap out of me, but it's interesting in those situations how you just know what to do..and i skidded, was in the right lane and somehow ended up in the shoulder, stopped in a BIG puddle and facing straight...how did i STOP in that much water? so i just sat there, then realized what could have happened, and of course starting freaking out and crying. i started driving again and my whole body was shaking...niice. now i already hate driving in the rain b/c the one wreck that was my fault i skidded in very light rain, so heavy rain just freaks me out in general. so the rest of the way to work i was driving like 40...boo! i almost skidded again on 183, and i was like WHAT THE HECK? i think i need new tires, b/c i'm not reckless, nor was i driving at any speed which could have been called reckless. whatever. i got to the office safe and sound. my boss was like 30 minutes later than me, and safe as well.

anyways, today the CEO of latin america and the caribbean for my company came to discuss the upsides and downsides (mostly downsides apparently) of our company. so we had lunch..bbq, yum! this girl and i got there first, and got our food and probably looked like overacheivers (really, we were just hungry and i thought it started at 1145) whatever, it was interesting to say the least. i work on the 2nd floor and we are a totally different part of the office downstairs...they have a lot of issues down there, i'm glad i'm up here...maybe things aren't as great as i thought, am i in my own "plastic bubble" (A.L.O.)? hmmm...well anyways, it was interesting...now i'm upstairs, trying to start my afternoon...but of course i can't. we were also supposed to have a pool party today, but b/c of the monsooning it has been postponed, which is good, maybe i can go to the next week b/c i haven't been corporate-ly social since our picnic in the 100 degree weather.

today is my loan guy's birthday, i had to call him to confirm that he got this fax i had to send him and he said he was more hungover than life and i was like ummm ok, then he said it was his birthday so i said it was probably forgivable and he still didn't tell me about the freakin' fax...whatever. i have to call more home insurance people and i REALLY don't want to. it sucks. being an adult i mean.

anyways, excited about the weekend! yay!

peace out
