It has been a while since there has been any action at my office, to divert my attention from working.  But today was my lucky day… thanks St. Patrick’s Day!  Luck of the Irish for me!

This guy spent quite a bit of time sitting outside my office window this morning and having one HELL of a conversation with himself!

I am guessing he was so talkative because he was WASTED and chugging a 40 ounce at 9am, on the side of an office building.  What’s crazy, is he is not the typical looney tune that frequents the area around my office.  This guy had on spiffy new white shoes, a shiny watch and a lanyard around his neck with keys on it… like he had an actual job or something.  Yet there he sat, swigging beer and talking to himself.

Then, as fast as he came into my life… he was gone.  Just left his beer and walked off, leaving me with an empty hole in my heart and my work to get back to.

So my co-worker Bill had to go out and try to help fill the void that was left inside me.  He is always going the extra mile for me.

As good of a fill-in as he was… it just wasn’t the same.  Sometimes, you just cannot replace the original - just ask “New Coke” from 1985!

UPDATE… BREAKING NEWS:

His day got NO BETTER!!!  We had lost track of him for a while after he walked off… then spotted him up at 7-11 - YES THAT 7-11 - Soooo, we made Bill go up there and scope him out.  The guy tried to pay for a piece of cheese with a handful of pennies.  When the clerk told him it was not enough, he reached into his pocket and a whole bunch of other pieces of cheese came spilling out, so he just left the store.  Unlucky for him, a cop was pulling in just as this was all happening, got the scoop from the clerk and followed the guy across the street into the crazy’s parking lot, where Bill also followed to get some pictures of him being arrested.  Poor guy.  All he wanted today was to get piss-ass drunk and eat some cheese.  Poor guy!

So this past Sunday was my birthday.  I am now officially half way through my 30’s, and I have to say, I am not feeling so bad about it.  I had a great birthday.  On the Friday before my birthday my co-worker Bill spoiled me rotten, since he would not see me over the weekend.

First he had flowers delivered to me at work, which were adorable and made me very happy!

Then he gave me a goodie bag filled with all my favorite snacks - Mike and Ike’s, Skittles, Lindt Dark Chocolate, Teriyaki Beef Jerky and Pistachios.  Then he also included some funny joke items, like fresh batteries for my “toys,” Serenity Bladder Control Pads since I am getting so old now and may not be able to make it to the bathroom and some good chapstick, since my lips are ALWAYS chapped from running this winter.  It was awesome!  He is a great co-worker!

Saturday night Todd and the kids took me out for my favorite dinner… Japanese Steak House.  They got me some great gift cards for pedicures and to stock my Kindle with some new books.  Then after dinner, I met Dena, my brother, Nadine and Kevin and Ashton’s girlfriend Heidi among others for some birthday cocktails.  Dena got me an awesome sand repelling beach towel for this summer and a cooler bag for the beach - LOVED that she got me that stuff, it made me happy for warmer weather!  Nadine and Kev got me a buttload of Lottery Tickets, Heidi brought me flowers and my brother had his yearly birthday card for me.  I forgot to bring that in to scan - I’ll have to do that tomorrow.

We met up at our local dive, Judy’s Pub, that we always go to and I was surprised when I walked in and the whole bar was decorated for my birthday.  It was awesome, although I am not quite sure yet whether that should be considered a good or a bad thing.  Good that I am liked enough for them to do it, or bad that I am known well enough in there for them to do it?  I am going with good!  :cheers:

Sunday night I celebrated with my family by having a delicious marinated Filet Mignon dinner followed by my mom and Kaiden’s attempt at making cake pops.  It was a great evening.

It was a great birthday weekend and I am blessed with great friends and family!

My co-worker got a new pot for his plant and this sticker was on it.  I’m going to start wearing it around!
