I am the world's most impatient person.
I am literally going nuts waiting on my stock to jump high enough so I can sell it and pay off my lawsuit. I can not wait to start ripping out the floors and painting in our new office space. I HATE WAITING!!!!
I really need another vacation. American finally sent us compensation for our awful Vegas trip, so I have $100 burning a hole in my pocket to travel.
I hired another cool intern yesterday.

A.D.D.
It's only Tuesday?! AHHHH!!!!!!
The minutes are draaagginggg on, it's painful. Still, I have to reflect back on my time at KTEN and know that I am blessed, without a doubt, to be sitting at this desk so I'll keep grinding away, and answer the phone with a smile.
Moving day is coming up, so excited. I hope Larry lets me decorate, I don't know if I can handle a 3-year lease if the boys decorate. I want to bring my green couch out from storage and keep it there, and I think Patrick is bringing his Wii...maybe a flatscreen? Anyways, it will be 100 times better than working with Jordan Associates!

Vegas Part Two
I don't feel like writing about Vegas anymore. Let's just say part two would include the rude waitress at breakfast, the $45 bacon and eggs meal, the rude dealers, losing $500 and Ryan losing $2500.
Some highlights were the Mystere show we went to (AWESOME!!! We were on the front row and I bought a soundtrack). And this unreal steakhouse we ate at in TI. The owner himself waited on us and the food was a-maz-ing.
This week has been dragging but at the same time going too fast. I have so much to do before the bachelorette party in two days, I'm freaking out!!!!!
I want to take a nap. I still have 7 hours at work to go.

Vegas Part One
Back from vacation and depression already sinking in....
Vegas was horrible. I really wish I would have made Ryan book the cruise instead!!! So many things went wrong that I am going to write this in sections.
PART ONE: The Flight
We left on Friday. Our flight was supposed to leave at 4, so I left work at lunch to go home and finish packing. When we got to the airport, the flight was pushed back to 5pm. No big deal, right? So we sat around reading magazines and waited....then the flight was pushed back to 6! At this point, we are going to miss our connecting flight in Dallas so we go up to the desk and they try to re-route us. No such luck- all of the flights to Vegas out of Dallas that night are full! The guy tells us he can re-book us on US Airways ( I guess they are connected to American Airlines somehow?) since there is a flight leaving from OKC at 10:15pm.
At this point we are really pissed off. We have to go back out to the front of the airport to get our suitcases at the baggage claim....we sit there for 30 minutes and the bags never come. Ryan had to go find an airline agent who told us they had been re-assigned to our US airways flight and nobody bothered to tell us. The ticket counter for US Airways didn't even open until 7:30 so we had to sit out front for 2 hours waiting, then go back through security again when we got our new tickets. Guess who gets pulled out of line for random frisking and drug-testing? Me AND Ryan!!!
Finally, finally we get on our flight 8 hours after we had arrived at the airport. We are about to take off when a lady comes running down the aisle, saying my name. She asks to see my boarding pass, looks at it, then demands for me to get off the plane. I look at her like she had got to be kidding. She just keeps saying we need you to get off the plane right away, and to bring everything with me. I am about to cry at this point. So I get off the plane and the TSA people are all out front, saying they are going to have to de-plane and asking me why my boarding pass isn't stamped. Apparently, when I was frisked the second time through security they forgot to punch holes in my boarding pass so the TSA people thought I slipped through security somehow and maybe planted a bomb on the plane. Ryan was still on the plane while I was outside and he said the flight attendents were on their walkie talkies saying something about a security breach. The TSA lady that searched me came running up and said that she remembered searching me, and that I was fine...she just forgot to punch my card. Gee, thanks.
During the flight to Vegas, we are seated behind two huge Oklahoman guys who said it was their first time on the plane. They kept slamming back into their seats and crushing our legs. The guy behind us kept clearing his throat every 5 minutes, and the lady across from him was drunk and laughed the ENTIRE plane ride there. I am not even making this stuff up.

Rob left really abruptly last Thursday and it will never be the same around here without him. He took a job at Schnake Turnbo Frank as a Senior Account Executive. Hopefully, we will keep in contact....We took him out to lunch at a restaurant down the street before he left and it was so sad!
I hate Jordan Associates.

This has been such a weird week.
Valentine's Day came and went. We celebrated early the day before and then again on the actual day. I don't know why. I think Ryan thought he was going to be too busy or didn't want to deal with the crowds, I'm not sure. On the 13th, I came home and there were two dozen pink roses on the kitchen table. He also bought a nice bottle of red wine and took me out to eat at Lemon Grass. Then yesterday I cooked Lemon Rosemary chicken and garlic dill potatoes. I gave him his gift and we had some white wine and watched a movie.
I'm such an emotional mess. Ryan has been really sweet this week, but I'm just not myself.
This weekend is Stef's baby shower. I am trying to be excited...I bought her some really cute things from Babies R Us this week. The weather is supposed to be bad, snow and ice. I don't want to drive 3 hours but I can't miss it since I couldn't make her wedding, she would never forgive me.
I want to go home. Larry is out of town and I am so bored I could cry.

It begins.
I'm starting up a new blog....after a 5 year hiatus! I doubt I'll stick with it, but who knows.
So, it's day two of sleep medication. I couldn't handle my chronic insomnia anymore and...this Ambien stuff really works! I can't remember the last time I slept so well. It knocks me right out. The scary part is, it does weird things to my head before I fall asleep and after I wake up.
Yesterday, I got up at 5:30 and felt like I was drunk. The room was spinning and I had to hold on to the furniture to make it to the bathroom. I worked out at the Y, but I barely remember going and the 20 min. I spent on the bike is really fuzzy. Scary! This morning wasn't as bad...I actually woke up before my alarm went off feeling really refreshed. I did 30 min. on the elliptical and came home, and then I remembered sending Ryan a really psycho text last night...
I took the Ambien at 8 and went to bed around 9. I think I fell asleep, but then Ryan came to bed and I woke up and wrote him a text message. I hardly remember writing it, but I looked today and this is what it says:
"There's illegal things to be shared tonight when the darkness falls o'er a blank grey slate, come follow me higher up, deeper still where he watches your sleeping ponies stop him fast no it's too late tyertykmhgfed."
It freaked me out to read it the next day.
