Dammit! Sorry about yesterday! i was way too busy blowing my day on utter stupidity and i never got a chance to update.
Nothing exciting happened on Tuesday. Skip it and move on.
Wednesday was definitely different. i get to work and remember that i have a class to take at 8:30, so i spend my first half-hour goofing around, checking mail and reading diaries. Then i go to class with T.M.I.M. and a group of idiot floor supervisors that hate me and have to be in this big 'team building' ' round table' style class on TIME MANAGEMENT. FOR FOUR HOURS! Yeah, isn't it pretty when you look at it like that?
So, we do the whole class thing and take the test (open notes) then i go and spend half an hour eating and visiting at the luncheon they provided, and another half an hour torturing my boss with the vibrating Mr. Potato Head and her blue balls. She'd had a rough day.
Then, i proceeded on to finishing up all the little tasks i had been putting off while reading diaries and chatting for my last hour and a half. it was calming.
After picking up Roni and going to Crystal's, we read 2 chapters of TSG and chilled for a while until Naomi and her Sprout got there. (he sat in my lap!!! you guys just don't understand how much this kid is just not a touchy kid ~ he rarely even gives hugs and won't really talk to people often, but he must really like me a LOT since he'll sit in my lap!!!) Next, Jen showed up with her two kids and Steve. Nicky is such a great kid and so handsome, and her Emma is the sweetest little thing you'll ever see. The final mass arrival was when Loser (as Roni so dubbed them), 'Tommy', Amy (who is every bit as fabulous as she seems to be!), and Sam (who is fun and sweet and cool!) all got there and were met by my princess. (Wow. note to self ~ i don't think i'll let her wear dresses for a while.) Now, i do need to send out Roni's words and thoughts here ~ she absolute LOVED Amy & Sam, and was truly upset by the idea that Louis might not come back but she refuses to acknowledge his name until she gets her nickname back. And she just had a sudden memory lapse on Mark's name for being picked on so much, she says. But she loves you both, she PROMISES, and she wants confirmations that you�ll still come out to see her. (isn't that funny? She just inherently KNOWS that the whole get-together is only put together for her!) The late one was O.Penguin who was a big surprise as i didn't think he'd come, but there he was!
We stayed by the table for quite a while but i finally had to play air hockey but these really rude guys were hogging it all up and so i pulled Naomi over with me to stare them down as she is better at it than i am. i played O.Penguin and won, he played Roni and they ran out of time! Riz played pinball and we played groupies for him but it's not difficult ~ he's really good at it. Crackhead killed stuff for a while and then lost a game of air hockey to me, and after some batting of my lashes and begging he then proceeded to mop the table up with me on the rematch. It was brutal. i say he IS a shark! We ended up staying until 10pm just hanging around outside until the cold really settled in and chased us off.
but she did pass out soon after her little head hit the pillow.

that is for My Roni who can scream, dance, yell,
run in circles, climb, jump, and play like a maniac . . .
but still sing her heart out on the way home.
