Sometimes The Ends Justify The Mean

I seriously love The Office. I don't know if anyone knows that so I figured I'd just throw it out there. Jim and Pam warm my soul. : )
Just checking in to say I'm outta here! Heading to Tennessee tomorrow for a few days of vacation in the Smoky Mountains. We have rented a cabin, have maps and detailed instructions from my parents who were just there last week, and have many many car snacks (my favorites- Combos, Corn Pops, and strawberry Gushers). We are leaving right after work tomorrow in our rented mini-van and will be in the Gatlinburg area through Tuesday. I'm excited, but frightened of the cold weather I'm about to face. I have lots of sweaters, a peacoat, and ski gloves (the only thing that keeps my fingers from going completely numb in temperatures below 65).
After the drive back to O-town on Tuesday, I will be heading down to good old Cooper City for T-giving, then back up to work on Friday. I am going to be VERY tired of the car!
So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone since I probably won't be posting before then. Here's a little piece of video I give thanks for, taken at the New Kids On The Block concert a few weeks ago...

Still Hangin' Tough...

I am so tired!!! I had a ridiculous weekend.

Friday we went to downtown Orlando to celebrate a friend's birthday, and of course it was Halloween so it was insane. I couldn't believe how packed it was. I am usually not a fan of downtown, but we went a little earlier and left by midnight before the real insanity started. And it was really entertaining to see all the creative costumes. Plus I got to meet our new President and First Lady!

Saturday we had a scavenger hunt at Disney for Bethany's birthday, which was fun. We were on three teams of 3, and had a long list of items to get and pictures to take. It ranged anywhere from a picture with an Asian family to mullet and fanny pack pictures. Most of us are pretty competitive, so we were pretty serious about getting as many points as possible. In the end, my Green Team won. Hooray! Some of our winning photos- us eating a turkey leg, at the Singin' In the Rain umbrella, and with our Dirty Sanchez moustaches!

Saturday night was the annual Halloween party we go to with lots of old friends from when we worked at the Movie Ride. We were the Spice Girls, and definitely were a big hit. You'll notice how hot our Sporty Spice was...

That's me as Posh and my friend Ozzy Osbourne, aka Hatch who throws the party.

Sunday was the New Kids On The Block concert in Tampa, which was fantastic!!! I became 11 years old again and went crazy along with the entire crowd. It was a great show, and we are already trying to find some way to see them again before their tour ends. Tickets in Mexico are only 1400 pesos! ; )
