Thank you, Sain…

Thank you, Saint Agnes Academy. For when you required me to read The Merchant of Venice, little did you know that would directly contribute to my teams second place finish in last nights trivia at the bar. Money well spent, Mom and Dad.

And that’s not the only high school learnin’ I’ve brought out of retirement lately. Today, I had to do algebra at work to invoice a client. Specifically, I had to use Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. It’s important to note this math wizardry is coming from a girl who is so bad at math, she was forbidden from taking any math higher than Algebra II. Yes, I am so bad at math, my high school wouldn’t even let me sit in a room with other people doing it. I still haven’t balanced a chemical equation or used the quadratic formula – but maybe I’ll get around to that this weekend.

In other exciting news, my face is sunburned and wind chapped from Miami. I look like Samantha’s “Beef Carpaccio” face from Sex and the City and I have no idea how to fix it. I’m thisclose to making a pumpkin face mask (I found a moisturizing mask recipe online) and just taking a long ass nap in it. I will be in Breckenridge this weekend so I have to do something fast before my face just rips in half.

Finally, starting Jan 1, my company let me work from home one day a week. Since the beginning of 2012 has been a smidge busy – Thursdays from home have involved hunching over my desk ripping my hair out. Today, however, is turning out much better. Funny how much more you can get done when you arent spinning 900 plates – and dropping 899 of them. Working from home is a weird hybrid of being unemployed yet also employed. Its like the best of both worlds. I can watch Fatal Honeymoons on E! while running a client call. In between calls, I can do laundry and eat leftovers. I can get used to this!
