i know you are all dying to know how my labor day weekend went, so i felt obliged to post today so that you can finally get some sleep. it was quite fabulous, thank you. to be honest, i thought i would be let down. no offense, girls, but i had been so excited about 3 days off and a fabulous trip to austin, that i was sure it would never live up to my expectations. i am quite glad to report that i was wrong. for those of you who were not so fortunate to attend, i will give you the high points. for those of you who were, it will be a fun recap.
- hitting what seemed like rush hour traffic on I-35 at 11:30 at night in waco.
- a 2 a.m. visit to a restaurant whose name i can't remember where we did have to wait to be seated. after much contemplation over what to order, i finally made the comment, "i'm really not that hungry but i guess i'll get a breakfast platter, eggs over easy, with bacon. oh and chocolate milk."
- going to sleep at 4 a.m. and being woken up by whitney at 9:30 a.m. by her trying to shove a piece of fruit pizza in my mouth.
- haircuts by kaylan & makeup by elise (as evident in the profile picture) for our going out on saturday night
- eating at chuy's which involved awesome salsa, queso, and a buritto that truly was bigger than my face.
- picture taking at the capitol and other downtown fun
- road trip to Gruene with 4 in my backseat which included numerous sessions of singing at the top of our lungs only to be disturbed by random cop sightings.
- the filming of a jerry springer-esque show about a love triangle from a small texas town. the characters included two pregnant women, the man in their life, a rabbi and a quirky midwife. i'll let you guess which part i played.
it was a fabulous weekend. one where i was fully conscious of how wonderful it was while it was taking place (which is always nice). during a time where i'm not always comfortable in my own skin, it was so nice to drop my inhibitions and feel like myself again. and even feel kinda pretty. you girls are fabulous and i love you. let's do it again next week.
in other news, dillards is - as always - a barrell of laughs. my nemesis (one of them anyway) has been moved to another section. my favorite coworker has decided not to quit. a new employee got arrested on monday. i am now one of two people working in my section that is not pregnant and i am the only one without a child. i'm surrounded by an insane amount of hormones. i am also realizing that i am not nearly as perceptive as i thought. apparently my manager is 4 months pregnant and missing part of one of her fingers. the new girl pointed this out. how did i miss that?
i guess that's all for now

You really should have noticed the partially missing appendages of your manager...
Just to clarify, you did not go to sleep at 4 am, it was at least 5:15 because I had called Chuck when he woke up for dove hunting, which was around 5
Also, you forgot the integral other main character on the video...the host, Kerry Ringer.
