3rd favorite city in the whole wide world

Today, Sister #1 leaves for vacation.

She'll be visiting my 3rd favorite city in the whole wide world, NYC.
Fun Fact: I was not invited on this vacation.

I guess you could say it annoys me.

Not really.

Ok, maybe a little.

Tomorrow she'll be riding the subway.
Tomorrow I'll be sitting in a foam cubicle, guarding my office supplies.


This weekend she'll visit one of the 10 H&Ms.

You know how I feel about H&M.

Whatever Sister #1, go have fun on your little vacation!

Don't you worry about me....I'll be fine.

Really, I'll be fine.

One man's trash is another man's treasure

Today, is big trash day.

This morning, while running, I scoped out everyone's trash looking for new treasures. I'm afraid this big trash day had slim pickings. The first house I ran past did have a nice toliet and dishwasher up for grabs. I'm afraid I do not need a toilet or a dishwasher. Of course, my family might disagree on the toilet. Sometimes my toilets don't work, and I probably could use a new toilet. Is this TMI (too much info)? Probably. Moving on...

The next house I ran past had an awesome chandelier tossed to the curb. I actually stopped to get a closer look at the chandelier. I'd never seen anything like it before. Folks, one of my fine neighbors was tossing a teapot chandelier.
This is a picture of a fancy teapot chandelier. The one tossed to the curb wasn't this fancy, or white. But the one tossed to the curb was pretty nice. I could see real potential with the teapot chandelier. Well, if you were a creative person and had a couple cans of spray paint.

Blogger World, I'm afraid that's all this month's big trash day had to offer. I found no new treasures, but I did see my first teapot chandelier.

I've never calmed to be a fashion stylist, or any type of stylist. Most of my fashion knowledge comes from The Rachel Zoe Show and What Not to Wear. But I feel I've watched enough fashion TV to know that this is unacceptable....

Sarah Jessica Parker what are you doing? Ok, ok I'm just going to say it, she looks like a Skittle.

The mission to use vacation time-Day I

Yesterday, I announced my mission to use up some of my vacation time. I decided to take off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 2pm. No matter what life shattering office emergency took place at 1:50pm, I was going to be out the door at 2pm.

Today, I'm happy to report that I was out the door at 2pm. Around 1:45pm I sensed a life shattering office emergency was about to take place. I simply reminded my coworkers that I was leaving at 2pm and I would take care of the problem tomorrow. This seemed to calm everyone down. Actually it probably didn't, but they knew better than to argue with me.

As promised, below are the chores I accomplished. I wish I was computer literate so I could cross them off the list, but I'm not. There's nothing better than crossing something off your To Do List. Can I get an AMEN? Anyway...completed chores are in the gray.

1. Mail my passport paperwork to higher powers that will renew my passport.
2. Mow my yard.
3. Drop off clothes at a local consignment store.
4. Attend aerobics Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
5. Meet with important bank officials.
6. Attend church Wednesday night.
7. Sweep my garage.

I'm happy with yesterday's accomplishments. The Post Office was the main one I wanted to complete. Can I just say, The Post Office is a horribly slow establishment. I was there for over 30 minutes. I'm all about saving The Post Office, because it's been around for so long, blah, blah, blah. However, when you only have one person working the front for 30 people, I kind of don't feel sorry for your organization that's going down the toilet. It's like Wally-World. Why do they have 35 check-out registers when they only use 10. They should know, crap like that makes us, consumers, mad!

The mission to use vacation time

Do you remember back in May when I discovered all my unused vacation time? I had 23.4 days of vacation time.

Today, I would like to report that I've made some headway on that unused vacation time. Sadly, that's not true. As of right now, I have 21.7 days of vacation. Blogger World, never fear OK Chick has a plan. This week, Tuesday-Thursday, I am taking the afternoon off. I'm going to leave my office at 2pm, not a minute later. I do not care what life threatening office emergency happens, I'm walking out the door at 2pm. I do admit this is a weak attempt to use vacation time, but we all have to start somewhere.

You might be asking yourself what will you do with your 3 hours of vacation time each day? Well, I'm so glad you've asked. Blogger World, let me show you my goal list. Yes, I have a goal list, because I cannot have a vacation without accomplishing things.

1. Mail my passport paperwork to higher powers that will renew my passport.
2. Mow my yard.
3. Drop off clothes at a local consignment store.
4. Attend aerobics Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
5. Meet with important bank officials.
6. Attend church Wednesday night.
7. Sweep my garage

I'm not messing around with this weeks vacation time. I plan to utilize my time. Tomorrow I will let you know how everything works out. Please stop laughing at me. I will have you know, I do have some trips planned in the near future. I'm not a complete loser!
