Freaky Friday

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Ladies,

Today, you’ll just have to forgive me. With the boys off from school the past few days, no help at home (my babysitter is away for 6 weeks), and 4 kids in this house right now, I AM A LITTLE FREAKY this Friday. When everyone returns to school on Monday, and therefore so does my brain, we will be back with all the “on the fence” issues.

Yesterday my son turned 7. I also found my second gray hair. It was a milestone on all ends.  So beside eating cake on 3 separate occasions throughout the day, and french fries with lunch and dinner, it didn’t turn out half bad. 7 years old. I don’t know where the time has flown. It seems like yesterday my hubby and I were backpacking through Europe, unmarried, smoking like feens, eating pasta by the caseload, and having lots of… yup you know it.  Wow, did we look young… I also hadn’t yet discovered what it meant to groom your eyebrows. Good times, my friends. :)

But in all seriousness, this week has actually been one of great milestone. I was named one of 50 Best Blogs By Women, I made the cover of the business section, Modern Family and Grey’s Anatomy premiered again, and we’ve almost put the finishing touches on something major I’ve been working on tirelessly. We are tweaking a massive presentation that if comes through, will change my life. It’s a one-in-a-million shot, but a team believes in it very strongly, so I’m pursuing it with gusto. What do I always say… aim for the stars? Chase your dreams? That’s what I’m doin’. And it goes back to one of my favorite quotes: (more…)

Do You Have A Work Spouse?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

TGIF Chiquitas!! That means 20/20 tonight, after Friday night dinner with my family. I LOVE Friday nights.

As I read back yesterday’s blog post, I realized, geez, it was quite heavy. As you know, I always like to switch things up, so I came across a funny topic that I hoped would soften the mood today.

A girlfriend of mine asked me if I knew what a “work spouse” was, to which I replied “Yes,” only because I had seen it a few weeks ago on Grey’s Anatomy. Adele accused her husband, the Chief of having an affair with Baily, and Callie stepped in only to explain that Baily is the Chief’s “work wife.”

I remember all too well, my two old bosses. They were definitely work spouses. This was the neglige and sherry boss and her male boss.  Completing each other’s sentences, knowing how the other liked their coffee, gossiping together in his office about this one and that one. Uch, it was so annoying. Mind you, she was the Cougar because she was in her 50′s and he was in his 30′s at the time. But they were definitely married at the office. Like an old married couple, I tell you.
