I am a Honey Bee

All about my adventures with cooking, crafts, and travel

annnnd done

I can’t tell you how glad I am that this long ass week is over. And yet, I still have a ton of stuff to come in and do on Sunday just so I am not completely swamped next week. I’m actaully looking forward to Sunday, but that’s another story.

Price has poker with friends so I am going to hang out with Emily and relax tonight. We have not hung out in a while since our schedules rarely sync. It nice to have a chance to catch up in person, joke around, and vent around random dumb shit. We are going to the mall before heading to my place. And then we are going to the Urban Grape for some wine/beer/booze since my 60 hr week deserves demands it. But then we’ll see what sort of trouble we get ourselves into.

I took this photo today while at lunch while passing a ceremony on Government Center Plaza. Beautiful.

565 Days

give or take

what’s the countdown?

how many more projected days for this project.

let’s hope that I can avoid hitting one of the office cleaning ladies with the (solid) side door as she comes in and I go out (for a pee break… TMI) in that period of time. I shrieked, she laughed nervously.

Experiencing that precious moment once is more than enough.

Pack Rat

About 2 weeks ago I cleaned my desk at work. It was looking pretty impressive. But then I opened ped and then I felt horrible about myself. Why? It was a disaster!

I go from extremes- complete OCD about everything in a line, color coded, alphabetized to utter chaos. I was a kid who would write notes during class and then when I got home I would rewrite them in neat penmenship. And then I would file it in order in the class my color coded binder. This really did last until my 2nd year of college and then I realized I was losing sleep over having perfectly copied and organized notes. So now I go between neat and chaos.

-This is chaos-

Bag of trail mix
1 straw
2 chop sticks
1 glue stick
1 container of bobby pins
1 box of teeny tiny hair bands
40 or so push pins
1 packet each of Tylenol and Advil
Mini box of pennies and a nickel
Pink eraser
Handful of rubber bands
Tooth paste (no toothbrush)
Emory board
Compact mirror
2 packets of face wipes
Highlighters: 3 orange, 1 pink, 1 yellow
2 boxes of business cards, 1 new and 1 old (without correct font and red back)
Plastic cutlery: 3 spoons, 2 forks, 2 knives
Handful of napkins
A mania envelope, a business envelope
17 pay stubs
1 paper bowl that was in there to hold misc condiment packets* that failed miserably.
1 package of.5mm mechanical pencils, 1 package of eraser refills, 1 packet of .5 mm lead refills, 1 package of .7 mm lead refills (useless)
1 pages of 3 retractable erasers
Laminated phone list
3 take out menus
2  stacks of mini post its
*Condiments:

3 pepper/4 salt
  

 

  
 

I took about 30 minutes to clean it out, do an inventory, return some things to our main supply closet, and reorganizing.

Why did I have 42 packets of ketchup?

1. I like ketchup

2. I would always grab ketchup from the cafeteria downstairs when I bought something, weather I needed it or not.

3. I like ketchup.

So, no, I was not going to throw it out. That is just wasteful. This just means I need to eat more egg white omelets and stop grabbing ketchup.
