Say Cheese... Now Smile!

The last couple of days have been busy. :) But a good kind of busy... I think.

Thursday, spent the day with Alice over at the Ontario Convention Center for Kiwanis Convention doing the supply sales. AhhHHHHh... the art of haggling. ;) It reminds me of my youth whenever I went shopping with my dad at the antique stores or just in downtown LA. After the whole thing, grabbed some dinner with Alice, Armando, and Joe... and then headed back to Mondo's room where the hotel accidently gave him free porn! HEY HEY HEY!!

Friday and Saturday, I guess signified the end of my "vacation" because I went back to work. Friday... back to the shop, the flowers, and the buzz of the fans. All by myself... but with my radio turned up really loud so I can dance around like a gypsy amid the 50 yards of chiffon that I was rolling. :) Saturday, made some human contact when I decorated a reception in Montebello with Brandi and Doug. :) Not to sound cocky, but I'm getting good at my job. I can drape a column like nothing and i'm like this twinkle light goddess.

Late Saturday night, Joe came over so that we could go get some copies made for the board meeting the next day. So its 1am and we go to the Copyclub thats near my house, and where we have gone before during the weehours of the morning because it WAS 24 hours, but this time... IT WAS CLOSED. SO we weren't completely discouraged and we just drove on down to Chino to the KINKOS there, but lo and hold... the freaking store is CLOSED too! When did KINKOS change their way of life? KINKOS closed?!?! I never heard of such a thing.. but there it was... with the lights off and the doors locked. I half expected a giant cow with wings to slam into me because I thought that I saw everything that I needed to see at that very moment.

Joe refused to go on with the search, so he said we would just wake up extra early and then go get the copies made before the meeting. "No prob," I thought... "it should be easy!"

Unfortunantly, I didn't wake up to all 3 of my alarms... but I did wake up when Joe came into my room at 8:30am asking me when we were to be at the hotel.

"9:00" I replied.

"GET OUT OF BED!" he screamed. (it seems that Joe only screams at me during these unfortunant instances that involve Xeroxing. Last time it was "GET OUT OF THE CAR" during that horrid xerox run durin STC.)

But then I remembered that the meeting actually started at 9:30... so we weren't completely screwed. We got ready in record time and drove on over to Copyclub (which was STILL closed) and then to the KINKOS (where we xeroxed the things that we felt were ABSOLUTELY NEEDED.) It was then that I SERIOUSLY thought I saw everything, because the speedometer on Joe "Mr. I Drive According to the MPH on the Signs" Regala went 105 PMH on the freeway. I thought that was it then and there that I was going to die... but we didn't... and in fact made it to the meeting with time to spare. I swore to never make a "Joe drives slow" joke ever again.

After the meeting, got to ride in Petey's jeep with Gina and Tracy over to BJs for lunch. We met up with everyone and it was a GREAT lunch cause everyone was talking and having fun. :) YAY FUN! Afterwards spent the rest of the day (I kid you not) in the living room in front of the TV with Joe, Mondo, and Jordan. It was a Ben Stiller-athon since we watched ZOOLANDER, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, and MEET THE PARENTS. After the Stiller-aton, Joe and I watched KARATE KID, the American Idol tape that Keri made for me, and DEUCE BIGALOW. Yeep... it wasn't a very productive day, but hey I only have week of vacation before its back to school so I guess I'm excused to be a bum right??

Anyways for the rest of the week it should be more fun and exciting activities... hopefully. :) We shall see....
