February 16-17, 2010 Diet Blog

Tuesday was spent recuperating from the four day weekend at lightning speed. It was so busy at work that I thought I was going to have to have the phone surgically attached to my ear and the file cabinet surgically attached to my butt. Whew! I scrambled home and then went to school. It had snowed all day so it was wet and slushy then turning to ice. I got through the class with a vague understanding of what he was teaching so I felt pretty good and spoke to a Santa's Elf recipient on the phone for about 30 minutes. It's getting funny. The recipient is trying to use psychology I think. They claim now- not to care if they find out who I am or not. Too funny.
Blairstown BFF had a job interview today. I sure hope that she gets it. It's only a temp for now but possibility of permanent if she works out they said. Say a prayer for her if you think of it.
Today was busy too. I brought the book cover in that my best BFF had framed for me so that everyone could see. The support was overwhelming. I just hope that they all buy copies of the book. It does seem like everyone wants it free. Unfortunately that's not a thing I'll be able to do. They give me a few but that's it! I need to sell them. (sigh)
The girl that I thought hated me at work has many connections and hooked me up with a book signing today. I was astonished. I'm beyond pleased! I hardly know what to say...I said yes obviously...I'm NOT dumb!
I wore the red satin blouse that I got for Valentine's Day and the black slacks that used to be too small. Everyone said how great I looked. I wish it would come off faster. Sadly- we have to start at one pound and go from there. "Love yourself" was the topic of conversation after that. My supervisor overheard me call myself "just a receptionist." She said "we put our best and brightest up here at the front desk." I nearly fell out of my chair. She said it sternly- but I think she meant it nicely...odd right? After she left I couldn't help but take the opportunity to wonder out loud to my co-worker "I wish they paid us as the best and the brightest...." she agreed with a hearty laugh.
We were entertained by an amateur magician today. He borrowed my pen, then he went to hand it back to me and it disappeared. I know the shock value on my face was great. He grinned and showed it to me in his other hand. My coworker missed it and so she made him do it again. I was thankful because I wanted to see it too. I watched like a hawk. I have no idea how he got it from one hand to the other. It was a nice break in the crazy normal day at court.
15 dolphins got stuck in the Hackensack River right by the courthouse today. It was very upsetting. How on earth did those poor things get so detoured. News was there, media...I'm sure that they were so frightened. I hope they are okay.
Home was warm and welcoming. I did some laundry, had some dinner, did a bit of homework, face booked and wrote this blog. Now...a hot shower is finally in order to end my day just right.
I'll sign off here! Have an excellent night! See you next blog! ;-)
