I don't hate you...

Well maybe. Maybe not.

I joke. I kid.

But if you've e-mailed me in ...lets say....the month of January and I haven't responded...

I'm not ignoring you.

Promise.

This entire month of my job has been a little nutso (think being 3 & 1/2 weeks behind, then trying to do it in the matter of a day or so) and it has zapped every ounce of energy in me.

I am finally ahead of myself at work so I'll be taking the next few days to get in touch with everyone and get caught up on all your jazzy lives.

Give a Girl a Starbuck's Coffee Cozy and...

If she's LyLa, she'll entertain you for 15+ minutes with a variety of gentleman like disguises...

The DJ Stachey & Soul Patch

The overgrown walrus

The classic english....

The ever popular (& my favorite!) fu manchu

& the Mister Peanut for good measure.

Little Thing 28

The fact that LyLa is soooo stinkin' excited to clean the office today for LAGCOE.

Peek-a-Boo!

Just another Friday at the office...

For some reason, we can't figure out why everyone keeps asking if we had a "liquid lunch"...

Full Moon at Noon?

Work has been slow for the majority of us in the Oilfield. Some pass some time by watching the Cajun Onstar Video, while I, on the other hand, get to e-mail Gentleman Caller and have him respond a lot sooner than the usual 3 hour wait time. He's still a bit oblivious to all the workings of his new iPhone which means he's slow with his typing, but lucky for me he's mastered the camera phone. Throughout the day, I get various "country gangsta" photos sent to my phone - the four wheeler inside the kitchen, the pet rooster, "Bruiser" (his beloved truck) all muddied up after a good rain - and I love them all. Silly, pointless photos that make me smile or say "OHHH Lawd!" Yesterday when conversation ran low, I opted out of asking him to "Tell me something I don't know." for the 1,000th time and asked him to send me a random photo. Big Mistake. While I won't re-post the photo here (DixieLust would like to keep some of it's integrity), I will say that I got to see one of his co-workers bending over in the machine shop and showing me his "full moon" while other co-workers stood in the background and made vulgar faces...

It's what I get for asking.

Little Thing 5

Singing along (& dancing) to the "90's Big Hits" station on Yahoo! Music as they play Mr. Big's "To Be With You."

Little Thing 4

Finishing all my work before my deadline without having a mental breakdown...or blowing up at anyone.

Coming Soon...

The past few weeks at work have got me feeling like I've come down with a nasty case of senioritis... But as "grown-ups"( I use that term very loosely) we know that this is the school that never lets out. The weekends are flying by, the weeks are dragging on, and all I want to do is experience summmmer. I keep day dreaming about all the magical summery things I'd be doing if I didn't have an 8-5.

So today LyLa came up with the genius idea of compiling a list of things we could we do to get the most out of the season. It's a list of 25 or so things that can be done on a weekday afternoon (no more wishing & waiting for the weekend!). And all of the ideas are simple and practical enough to actually do - not just in theory.

Hopefully we'll have the list ready by tomorrow!

Cant wait to share it with y'all.
