Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here:

Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!!

However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comments make me giggle, especially since the "touche" is always at Doug and his nonstop sarcasm! Amber and Jessica and their continual giggling and chatter are about the only sounds I have heard; I have absolutely loved listening to the two of you. Cliff and his DUN DUN DUN last night were fun and his wit is superb. Natalie, Cheryl, Angie, Marla, Leslie and Betsy - the seasoned veterans - it's nice to have a voice of reason at times; you have all been so sweet to me and I thank you so much for putting up with me and talking to me when I needed conversation. Corey, our talks have been kind of fun, I hope you get what you want in life.

I really have enjoyed my time on graveyards, especially my nights with Diane who has kepts me laughing and awake!! My visits from Amberly have been very much appreciated, too!!

    While reading through this blog post, my comment was originally going to be, "WHAT?! No mention of Moi?!?!?!?!" And then I read the last (aka most important) sentence and all was well in the world again. So, without further adieu (look at me with all the French words today!), here are my official comments:

    1. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    2. I think you're lame for leaving Graves too.
    3. If I'd known you hated quiet, I would've made lots and lots and lots of noise.
    4. If I'd known how much you loved me, I totally would've visited more.
    5. Until I read this blog post, I did not know that the half-assed bubble blowing was your going away celebration.
    6. If I had known, I would've appreciated them more.
    7. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    8. I plan on hunting down your cell # so I can text you in the middle of the night, just cuz.
    9. You didn't experience me in the same way Tryn and Elaine got to on Graves and that is sad for you.
    10. When are you coming back?

    Emily, my love, my dear, my sweet - - -

    Afternoon shift is my very favorite shift to work. However, I don't have a choice of afternoon shift, I have the choice of day or night. Luckily, I get to work with you, on afternoon shift, no matter if I'm days or nights!! So, you are the icing on the cake!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
