Things Lookin' Up...

I'm always excited when life takes some pretty cool twists and turns. Even though I was worried about the whole lay off and still have some issues to resolve, it seems as though there are some bright spots on the horizon.

I told a friend of mine about the lay off the other day, and positioned it like this:
"So, I was laid off today.
Shocked. Yes.
Fear, a little.
Realizing that there is more to come in my life, and new opportunities? Priceless."

He told me I have a "great fucking attitude". Haha! He's right.

I have potentially two immediate job openings, and that excites me.

In the meantime, I am feeling sick. Everyone was sick at the office and I had managed to avoid it, but now I'm feeling the scratchy throat and feverish, so I am kind of laying around today.

I have an appointment with my attorney later today to go over some paperwork, which is also another good thing.

Overall, I'm enjoying the day and trying to let my throat get some rest. Ouchies. Soreness.

I also am going to point out that it is the first time in over 2 years I have watched an episode of All My Children. It's funny how some things never change... ah, soap operas, you can count on them for cheesy acting and ridiculous plot lines to take your mind off your every day concerns!

Full Moon Antics...

It's nothing new, people say strange things happen with a full moon... well... Yes, they do.

I went out with the Cactus Crew last night to celebrate some co-workers birthdays. It was awesome, as usual, but I ended up getting there late, so of course, most of my friends were pretty well liquored up. There were even a few "non-regulars" that showed up and stayed in full force for the evening.

When I got there, I made my way to the bar, said hello to my friends... and then... What do I do? I tried to play a game called "catch up". I didn't drink any beer last night, just my Crown and Coke combination... but I did have ONE shot - a Jagerbomb, that I did with the birthday celebrators.

I should really know better than to do this catch up game. Actually, I do... But.... The night started off slow as I didn't get there till a little after ten (wanted to tuck in the kids and get everyone settled before heading out for the night). But... it picked right up again once I finished my first yummy drink.

I should mention that hilarity ensued somewhere around my 3rd drink... There was some singing along with the band, there were some interesting conversations, a random trip to a stairwell, watching cute boys on the patio below, an interesting flirtation and an unexpected phone call.

I never really feel like giving away all the details in a blog under my real name... but let's just say that for a little while there, things may or may not have gotten a little out of control.
It was definitely a night full of unexpected twists, strange conversations and to sum it up... it was what we call, a PMFA night, which is Pretty Much Fuckin' Awesome.

Just what one would expect by the light of a full moon.
