i've been meaning to make a post about this since last week, but life got in the way. this morning M & I were discussing related topic which tells me i must post, so here goes....
last week B calls me to see if i can leave work early to go to the movies w/him & Z. i'm busy, so i can't but ask what are they going to go see? Iron Man, i wasn't interested on 2 levels, partially because the movie is what it is...i went to see transformers, what more do you want from me?
but mainly i couldn't go see the movie because i can't watch Robert Downey Jr. it's not that i don't like him, because i do, it's that, well, remember less than zero? i was scarred by it. the scene where he's so hooked on drugs that he services his (male) dealer to get a hit & he can barely stand & he's all f'd up & stuff is dripping out of his mouth? part played all to well, so whenever i see him, that image is the back of my head.
the boys went & saw the movie, they liked it. i was happy to have missed it. however i did get Z's 2 hour summary of the movie (that was probably just as painful), but he was really happy & excited so it was easy to somewhat listen to him tell me over & over about it. the next day after school i got to hear it all over again, must have been a great movie!

training - 1st session
wasn't bad. she didn't fill out her h/r paperwork yet. but we went over a few things, introduced her to the office, went over timesheets, expense reports & a little Quicken. may have scared her a bit considering it was only 2 hours, but gotta work fast, limited time.
e-mail dream
last night i had a dream that i went into boss's office for something & i saw in his e-mail inbox that he was getting copies of EVERY SINGLE e-mail i sent out!!!!
i was freaking out looking at the subjects titles of the e-mails & wondering what the heck happened because i knew i hadn't purposely cc'd him. then i realized somehow or another he had the server setup to forward him copies of my e-mails so he knew everything i said in there!!!!
the horror of him know the truth of my feelings - BAD, BAD, BAD!
thank goodness that was just a dream!

Mother's Day
so this was the best Mother's Day i've ever had...so far at least.
on fri when we picked up Z from his buddy's house, he gave me a handprint he had made in class for MD. on back, he wrote his name with a backwards Z.
Sat after the game we headed down to LA, i requested smog for MD, an usual gift yes, but a good one for me. i even drove. i hate the 395, but once i hit the 15 all is good. we did some shopping, i needed new clothes for the new job. i hadn't put much thought into it until recently & realized a lot of my clothing is from before Z, so it's at least 6 years old!
we attempted to go out for a nice dinner, but beings it was Sat before MD, was almost an impossible task w/out reservations. we ended up going to Joe's Crab Shack. i didn't order crab because i didn't want to deal w/the mess; but Z did, so i had to shell his crab for him beings B just started eating...
when we were done with dinner it was already 9pm so we decided to just get a room & stay the night. we had packed a light bag just in case, so it worked out well. we stayed at the same hotel i stayed at when i was there for U.Ralph's funeral. can't believe it's already been over 6 months.
the hotel was nice & they provide breakfast in the morning - yeh, not only did i not have to cook, i didn't have to clean - BONUS!
then we went to ikea but didn't get much. then we headed to another mall so i could get a few more items. i don't like shopping much these days, it's really difficult to find something i like, that fits, that isn't horribly expensive. now i understand why so many people around here think the city is so expense, when you only go occasionally, it's practically impossible to find the stuff you want on sale & you're so desperate you just buy what you can.
i didn't find any pants, i did get about 6 shirts, a few undergarments & 1 pair of shoes (heels, that i will have to learn to walk in....w/out falling that is!).
before we left the city we took Z to a little amusement park right off the freeway that he always asks to go to (at least when he's awake that is). he enjoyed himself. he went on a couple of big rides, but said he didn't like them. then we drove home. Z slept most of the way & when he got home he asked how did we get home so fast because he didn't believe me that he slept most of the way.
B & Z just headed out to the store because although we spent $25 on MD cards last week, B forgot to pick one out from Z to me & i told him i wanted one so they had to go buy one. Z just gave me my card & a whoopi cushion for MD, nice huh? B gave me his card, it was really sweet, then he also gave me a ball of soft mozzarella cheese & a cream cheese coffee cake!

milk mass
when we got home from LA & we were going around trying to get the house picked up to start the week, i noticed B had left a cup on the coffee table. i don't know if it was from Sat morning or Fri night, but i know it was B's because it was milk & i hadn't given any to Z lately. so anyways i made a comment as i walked the cup to the kitchen sink about how i was glad the house didn't smell because of the milk that had been left out.
then when i got to the kitchen i emptied the cup into the sink & the milk was no longer liquid! so i'm yelling "OMG, that's so disgusting" & although i hear B & Z's voices in the background, i can't comprehend their words because i'm so overwhelmed by the milk mass, it was the consistency of yogurt. i turned on the water immediately afraid the scent would reach my nose, thankfully i never got a whiff of it.
B said he was making sour cream for me...no thanks!

last soccer game
so Sat was Z's last soccer game of the season. i think he did well considering the anti-athletic genes he inherited from B & I. sure, he ignored the coach a lot, played & rolled in the grass, kicked the ball in the wrong direction & chatted with buddies from the other team...but it was his first season, his first time being part of team.
i think he did best when he played goalie. he dove (yeah, dove) after the ball 2x. this last game, he played defense & he kicked the ball 3 or 4 times.
i don't know if he'll want to play again next season, but he said he wants to try basketball next.

could spit nails
boss is interviewing for my replacement, so far he's seen 2 candidates.
the first, seemed ok but he said she seemed too young (the boys later told me boss said she was fat & talked like she was retarded)
(self note, how happy will i be to no longer work for someone who judges people like that? = very)
the 2nd candidate was here yesterday afternoon. she wasn't friendly to me at all, actually she ignored me. which says a lot to me, i think you should be nice to everyone, especially when interviewing. anyways after the interview boss said he liked her, wants her to come in a few hours each day so i can train her. however, girlfriend doesn't even know word or excel, so why is boss even considering her? because he knows her family!!!!!!!
