Monday Manners

From the chapter "At Table":

Don't seat yourself until the ladies are seated, or, at a dinner-party, until you host or hostess gives the signal. Don't introduce, if you introduce at all, after the company is seated.

So what, you find yourself sitting at dinner next to someone you don't know, and you have to ignore them?

Here I Am, Bashing Away...

...on the CompanyIWorkFor, and my boss walks by and says "Why don't you go home an hour early today?"

Oooh! Ouch! Guilt pang!

OK, it's passed. They're still a bunch of jerks who don't appreciate me or pay me enough.

This is IT!!

Well, my dear bloggies. Don't be sad. But I'm leaving. 2 more hours of work and then I'm ON VACATION! Yee-Haw!

Now, don't worry, I'm sure I'll check in on you all from the glorious castles of the illustrious Flipsycab and Stennie. For at least a short time, Stennieville will be "Population 2." Hee-hee!

And we have BIG plans. We intend to:

hit the beach
do the Getty
go out and party
have a slumber party
...and I intend to bring my very good friend "Thermos of Margaritas" with me nearly everywhere I go.

Be prepared for lots of fun pictures of my adventures!

I'm bringing my guitar and some music so we can have a sing-along. And even though I'm on vacation, I am bringing my jogging clothes, so that I can forget all about them, and feel guilty when I unpack in a week.

Don't worry. I won't forget about you. But I WILL forget ALL about TheCompanyForWhomISlaveAway. And THAT, my blogalongs, is what VACATION is all about!!

Mistaken Identity

Today at lunch when I was buying my sandwich, the guy behind the counter gave me my change and said "There you go, Xena."

Huuh? Xena? XENA? I don't look anything like Xena, except I'm a girl who has brown hair. And is tall. It was one of those moments when you're standing there with your friend and you have to repeat to yourself "Don't look at Debbie. Don't look at Debbie." or you know you will bust up laughing. I actually made for the door immediately I was so afraid I would laugh, leaving Debbie inside to ring up her order alone.

Xena? What?

Monday Manners

From the Chapter "At Table":

Don't be late at the domestic table, as this is a wrong to your family, and is not calculated to promote harmony and good feeling.

Not to mention your spouse will kick your ass and you'll be staring at one cold plate of spaghetti....
