TGIF!!

You would think starting off your Friday at the DMV would be a clear signal, omen, smoke signal, whatever you might call it...that today was most likely going to be a crappy day. Luckily I turned it around and it wasn't too bad. So here was my day...kinda boring but somewhat entertaining in a sense:

6:45am: wake up to my enemy...the alarm clock...no good looking man next to me in bed...damn, just a dream and not reality!

6:50am: shower

7:15am: Clothes on and heading out the door

7:30am: Set off alarm to our side of the building...quickly put in code before police come. I as successful today! Work starts...put on the first pot of Starbucks breakfast blend coffee on for the team. I don't even like coffee. I grab my cup and make me some yummy Orange Spice Tea.

8am: Check email. 57 emails in my inbox. Zero were junk mail. Lovely.

9am: Co-workers trickle in. Angry that they get to come in later...but happy when I get to leave at 4 and they have to stay later on a Friday night. Lindsay...happy hour...coworkers...no happy hour!

9:15am: Create merchandising unit for Wal*Mart. Created 8 foot planogram in 30 minutes. New record!

9:45am: Send planogram to president of company and VP of sales. Grab purse and drive to DMV.

10am: Arrive at DMV early. Appointment at 10:20. Got number and started waiting.

10:05am: Number called, got new plates in hand, new registration card but have to wait in second line for tags.

10:07am: Man lets me cut in line, hands me tags, out the door. Yay...quickest time in DMV ever!!!

10:30am: Back at work. Extension 204 ringing. Hello mom. Mom notifies me that she is driving to rental to let carpet guys in. The lady who owns the rental never showed up with the key. What a dim-wit.

10:35am: Create 8 FedEx shipping forms for boxes that I am shipping out later.

11am: Go home, put on plates so I don't get pulled over or have issues with the toll road. Call mom and ask her if she wants me to bring her lunch. She says to bring her Del Taco.

11:20am: Drive to Del Taco, got food, hopped on Toll Road and drove to condo.

11:35am: Saw carpet that the owner picked...mom and I shake heads...why did she pick that color...oh well...we are only there for the summer.

12:00pm: drive back to work.

12:20pm: Arrive at work, start Home Depot project. Must create packaging for 23 skus.

2:20pm: Done.

2:21pm: Pack items. Lots of bubble wrap and boxes. Slapped on the FedEx forms and push the boxes in lobby for pickup.

3:30pm: Meeting with Kim (President at work). Learn that my research got us 16ft of retail space in the home improvement dept at Wal*Mart. Ya baby!

3:45pm: Learned that we are getting bonuses and raises. I love our company.

3:50am: Spoke to CMO and he says there is a good chance of getting a promo. Manager sounds good to me.

4:00pm: Grab laptop and go home. Pick up dad and extra paint. Talk to neighbor about moving. Neighbor sad to see us go. Oh well...everyone has there time. Ours in now! :)

4:20pm: Leave for condo. Mom calls 3 times between here and there. Geez mom!

4:35pm: Dad sees carpet and shakes head. Says...why did she pick that color? Our thoughts exactly!

5pm: Carpet guys are still working on second floor. They guess they will be there until 11pm. Eek! Mom arrives and we decide to walk over to Taco Rosa for happy hour. Yay!

5:05pm: Ordered a blended margarita (first drink in 5 months). Yum. Got chips, salsa, and guacamole for 4 bucks. What a deal.

6:15pm: Walk back home. Check out the new pool in the complex and notice they have a section for toddlers. Ayden will love that. Can't wait to see him soon. Checked out tennis court. Brand new. Eyebrow raises. Dad says we will have to get some rackets. Find shortcut to shopping center we just came from. hmmm...very cool. Dad says he will go this way to Starbucks for morning coffee or to taco rosa for happy hour. Dad is so funny. Check out spa. Looks nice. Can't wait to move in.

6:30pm: back at condo. Carpet guys are still on second floor. Still have the staircase left and the family room. The rest has wood floors. *sigh* we decide to leave.

7pm: Back home. Hit a little traffic on the 405. Speedy toll road got us home quicker though. Ran inside and started the shower. Ahhh....long day....got on PJ's, helped mom pack two boxes before her show came on (ghost whisperer)...I crawled upstairs and jumped on the laptop. Flipped on the Tivo...

9:42pm: Still answering emails. Working on PH stuff. Now starting to look for flat screens on sale to go buy this weekend. Costco looks the best. Our TV from there now works pretty well. Hmm...now typing blog...

So that's my day in a nutshell...it was busy...tomorrow will be just as busy. **sigh** I just loving moving...fun times. :)
