Mowtown Philly. Back Again

Ok.

So its been a while since I've posted...."ahem".
Its been about 2 months now... and counting. SORRY!

We all know how awesome I am at sitting down and committing to these things.

Anyhow, I suppose I should update you all since the purpose of this thing was to update those I miss oh'so'dearrrrly.

Weekends have flown by which leave the "weeks of havoc"! In those weeks lots has happened!
I was elected Dell's Medium Business Employee of the Month (for March)! Which came with a nice little check, a front row parking space, my picture posted embarrassingly on the main hallway wall and a sweet jeweled pin I wear on my security badge. I shall insert a picture soon. (it looks like a high school class ring someone pawned and melted down to the stone for money) I'm a proud missy though.

Secondly, I jet setted to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for work which happened to fall on St. Patricks Day! Due to last years robbery I still do not have a camera so you will have to settle for some sweet blackberry pictures.
Gary and I (Gary is my boss) set out on Thursday afternoon to the airport in Nashville, TN. Had a quick 2.5hr flight to PA and then had the most bizarre experience at the Enterprise a person can have and then it was off to the Sheraton downtown Philly!
We had to get up at 5:30a (EST) on Friday so we didn't stay out *too* late on St. Patty's Day but the places we ventured out to were nothing shy of chaos. So the last place we went had the best band EVER! It was a mix of a hipster jam band meets Justin Timberlake meets Snoop Dog meets Fleetwood Mac meets Blues Travelers. They were amazing.

This was my view at 5:38am EST on Friday from my hotel room:

I know the quality is 2000'n late but you get it.

After visiting with customers all day on Friday we then went to the "Shore" to scope out any Guido's. It was so fun due to the fact that V-Necks and Hair Gel were EVERYWHERE! Again, sad I didn't have a camera.
So after dinner we found a Lucky Strike one street over! Little did Gary know that Matt and I are frequent bowlers! I beat him 3 out of 5 games and of the last 2 I used a different ball ;) Needless to say, he still demands a rematch.
So on the way home I asked if we could stop somewhere for a midnight snack! I kept seeing these stores called a WAWA all over the place. Little did I know they made hand sammich's and hoagies 24/7! I had the best BEST Tuna on Wheat Toast a girl could ask for!
I was so happy that I took a picture of the last one in sight before we left :)

Lastly, I got home to the sweetest boyfriend and the best fur'baby a girl could ask for! I even discovered that one of Matt's favorite fisherman is from Philly so I lucked out when I brought him home this swag:

And last but not least, your monthly dose of Bentley. And his pretty boy swag haircut:

Stay tuned for the next entry when I finally have Matt's camera and can post legit pictures of our trip to San Diego, CA! (our plane leaves this Thursday).

Oh wait, you didn't hear? I won an all expense paid trip for 2 to San Diego, CALIFORNIA. Also another perk of the job....

Better than I deserve.

"Lay Some Bricks Today"

So I've done it.
I've finally re-joined the world of social media again. I'm hoping this will somehow get my mother to stop asking me to get back on facebook! (love you mom)

Please hold me accountable for updating this thing once a week! And most importantly adding pictures!

Today's title is based solely on a motto I gave my team at work...(because i am the baby of the team and normally spout out random bits of jibberish that all of the others just normally shake their heads and giggle at)....

Sidenote: Everyone I work with is in their 30s-married-with children. There isn't a day that goes by I don't get called "Miley Cyrus" or "Doogie Houser".

So, to really grasp the meaning of it, there are days when I leave work and feel like I didn't get anything accomplished or didn't perform as well I as expected. So I adopted the motto of calling that day "a day of brick laying"... So if you feel like you left your day with nothing to be shown for it, consider it bricks being layed towards something more awesome. Or just accept that it sucked. You decide.

Enjoy your sunday and this awesome picture I have bestowed upon you of Kelly Kapowski and her Pro Fisherman boy toy:
