Matt's b-day surprise

Well January 8th was my hubby's b-day. I was super busy with a project going out and couldnt plan anything before hand and Matt just so happened to total a car on his b-day so I was a little distracted. So I began planning the day after for the weekend after his b-day. I called a new restaurant to make reservations and they told me some bull about not being fully open so they couldnt take my reservation. I didnt really understand why but thought that maybe we would get lucky and get there early to get a table. I invited everyone at work and some tried to invite a lot of Navy friends but as usual with everything I plan only a few could come. The five of us ended up at Agave which is a fairly new Tequilla bar near the Gulch. We had a plethara of tequilla shots and mexican food and laughs.

The laughs were mostly at what Shelly would call "Southern Belles" and what I would call "Becky's". These are girls that wear dresses about 6" too short allowing their butt cheeks to show and who really really want to be seen and heard by everyone in the bar.

After Matt had about 12 shots of tequilla and a beer he was pretty much ready to do just about anything but I still couldnt convince him to bust into the Becky's party and start dancing in the middle of all of them. So we said goodbye to Cafra and Ryan, Shelly, Matt and I went to the Flying Saucer. Upon leaving Shelly and I hashed a scheme to shoot Ryan and Matt with silly string. I got the idea from one of our first dates when all we did was run around in the rain and shoot silly string at each other. My truck took the bulk of the blue and orange shooting string of fun.

Work wont work

At my office for the past two weeks we have been having trouble with the server and when this happens no one in the office can work on their projects because we back up our work on the server. The only thing any employee can do is get on the internet or break out the pencils and paper. Well being that my office is solely based on computer work and my job is a CADD jockey or now Rosie the Reviter I get on the internet. The past two weeks I have been too busy to get on the internet so even when the server was down I had to break out my pen and start redlining my own work for later when I did get a brief hour of Revit bliss. Well this week I dont have a deadline for 3 weeks and probably need to work from now until then but I will allow myself a little bit of blog time.
I have gotten used to using the intercom system at work since everytime I want to do anything big on my project I have to announce it to the whole office. At first I would giggle everytime I would use the intercom but then we started to make it a game of who could come up with the most unique way of saying you are saving to central and now it has evolved to just plain annoying.

"publishing post"
"typing blog"
"clicking mouse"



"SAVING TO CENTRAL"
When you get 20 people doing this at least once an hour it gets old.

"DONE"
