One of those days...

This is an email I sent to a few of my friends documenting last Thursday. This story is also one of the reasons I decided to blog besides Lauren's encouragement. I love retelling my day to friends when the events just get out of control. Now they can all just come to one place. Please enjoy my day!

So like I said my day started with the power going off at 7 am. I skipped the gym this morning so I could sleep in until 8. I can’t sleep without electricity because I need my fan (thanks Mom). So I lay in bed until 8 then proceeded to try to get ready in the dark without power. Mind you, I had my first meeting at a client site with my boss! So I can’t shave in the dark or straighten/do my hair so I wear pants and just pray for the best with my hair. I didn’t get to eat much of a breakfast either because I didn’t have a way to cook it...okay fine, microwave cook it.

I get to the meeting and everything goes well enough (another story in its self) and we are walking out of the high security building when I realize I left my purse upstairs in the manager's office! The manager had an interview afterward so I had to get the security guard to escort me up. Luckily the manager was not in his office so I thought I got away without him knowing…but no, I passed him in the hall way and had to explain. I also forgot to mention I almost ran out of gas on the way over.

I go back to my house because I don’t like the pants I’m wearing so I change into a better pair (so I think) only to realize when I’m down the street that these don’t fit either!! So I’m sausaged in tiny pants about to walk into Office Depot for some things I need for work; I step out of the car with my umbrella and the wind turns inside out then I proceed to get drenched. I finally get inside, make my purchases, and walk out with the umbrella which flips again then I realize it’s not even raining anymore!

I get back to the office with only loosing the cap to my DDP so I leave it in the car thinking that carrying a DDP without a cap would be dangerous, at the very least, with my luck today. I get in the office and tell my boss I’m there when he informs me that we have another meeting this afternoon. Remember back that I changed out of my suit!! So I go sit down at my desk to make the best of my wet, curly hair and tiny pant that aren’t even a suit. I crack open my diet 7up over my new laptop and it EXPLODES all over my desk, me, and the new laptop. To boot, the entire office was at my door about to go to lunch so they all saw it.

We all go to lunch together at an Indian place and I only one incident the entire time. The parking lot was flooded with running water. I had to walk through it with open toe shoes. One of the guys notice and started making fun of me so they all looked and laughed.

Good stuff from today: My co-workers helped me pick out Indian food. I did ask for something not spicy but I ended up with my mouth on fire, tongue burning, sweating, and a little dizzy. But they were so nice about helping me out. I also just bought tickets to DC for July 4th which makes me so happy!!

I am now sitting in my office trying not to touch anything, dry off, and think skinny thoughts in these pants!
