Subject: Three day weekend? WOO HOO!

Hi, Michele!

I will be labor free on Labor Day. I also do not have to go to class. WOO HOO! Did you say you are working? Drag. My sister has to work too. Looking at the bright side (?) she said, "I would have been off if I was still suspended."

I also cannot believe that it is September! You mentioned Christmas Cards, last year I noted on my work calendar for Sept 1 to start looking at company Christmas presents. (It’s usually some cheesy/cheap something with our cheesy company logo on it.) When will the boss learn the magical phrase "gift certificate"? I suggested that last year when my first gift plan fell through. The boss said, a bit peeved, "The gift certificate … people just buy whatever they want …" Okay, why was she saying that like it is a bad thing?

I feel your pain on that Harry situation. I guess if we learn valuable lessons from our mistakes then they served a purpose. But why are men such … men? They claim that women play games well they do too! Don’t beat yourself up over what you should’ve done - I try to take that same advice but I know it can be difficult!

Speaking of men being … what they are, Sara has had a big crush on the manager at *****. (I may have mentioned it.) Apparently she took a picture of us to work yesterday and he told her that I’m "cute." Yechh! Considering the picture that he saw, I really think he is just trying to start something between Sara and me. What a mean thing to say to someone who likes you: "Oh, your brother (or sister, cousin, mother, father, great uncle, etc.) is cute." I mentioned that previous statement to Sara and she shouted, "I do not have a crush on him!" Whatever! I wish she hadn’t shown him that picture. I can see it already: she and I will be arguing in the near future and she’ll shout, "You’re the one all the guys want!" and storm off crying to her room, feeling bad about herself. And she absolutely shouldn’t feel bad because that jerk is a just that a JERK! He is the main reason I want her to find another job, soon!

I will try very hard to scan that pic of Darrell next week and send it. Man, do I miss him! Like in one of your questions though, it may be for the best that he’s gone on to bigger and better things.

TV - Caroline in the City (love Bloopers!)
Movie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (love Grease)
Song - Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC (love the music from Grease)
CD -

funny moment - from Frasier - his ex-wife Lilith was back in town looking for reconciliation but Frasier, knowing no good could come from that asked Niles to keep her away from him during their evening out. It turns out that Niles and Lilith wind up in bed together at her hotel room. As they’re waking up, they’re both surprised and a bit panicky. Niles says, "Let’s just stay calm.  These things happen, they happen everyday… (he starts to panic again) everyday in Arkansas!" (The whole episode is great!)

Questions answered

ok, say its two years from now and you haven’t met Mr. Right yet.  You see Ray again, after a long absense.  He has totally changed into a better person and he wants to give the relationship another chance- what would you do? I would also be very leery of getting back with him; so many times he promised me that he would change and "not ever take you for granted again" and the next day he would stand me up. Plus he’d still have the kids, the ex-wife, the emotional baggage … it was just so much with him!

here’s another what would you do question- what would you do if you and Darell were alone together and well, you know, he started kissing you?- I am just like you are with producer Bob, sometimes if I was ..er … hormonal when Darrell was here, I’d think of slinking into his office and getting scandalous! I used to think about some of the handsome and married managers at *****l like that too: what would I do if they had me in the office and started kissing me. Like you, it’s very good (praise the Lord) that I never had the opportunity to find out what I’d have done.

what was the nicest thing a man has said to you? At ***** (I’m going to start abbreviating that ***** like I used to do in my journal) one temporary weird manager asked me at one point on a busy evening "Where are you going?" I was, like, "Where am I ‘going’?" One fellow guy server volunteered, "She goes to UAH." Another fellow guy server said, "She’s going to heaven." This was at the time when I was having a lot of doubts about salvation, etc., so that was absolutely what I needed to hear!

do you like grilled cheese sandwiches?- love them! 

what is one thing you would like to see during your lifetime?- cures for cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, etc.

(Yuck!) Did you ever throw up in school?- I did - but thank goodness I made it to the toilet just in time.

New Questions

Do you like salsa? If so do you like mild or hot? love salsa - mild

Are there any commercials that you like? The York Peppermint Patty one where the old man is in his recliner saying he gets the sensation that he’s riding, " … the luge! Racing along at over 100 mph while the wind whips over my body!" While he’s saying that he leans the recliner back and does his interpretation of the luge. (I really hope I’m referring to that sporting event correctly and "luge" isn’t something else!)

Any computer games that you like? Spider Solitaire, Solitaire, FreeCell.

Have you and your sister ever had a crush on the same guy? not that I can think of.

Would you ever date a guy that you and your sister were both interested if he asked you out? I truly don’t think I would, even if I really liked him.
