final hours in 2014

7:48pm

Here I am, once again. The final days. Final hours. I really wish I could say I was done, packing up, and getting ready to head home, but alas we still have another appointment coming in at 8:30p. I just hope that he doesn't take very long. I'm not sure I can last much longer. All the coffee in the world wouldn't keep me up until midnight. I'd have to go to the back and take a nap. If I could take a nap on my desk in the middle of college study time, I think I could manage it here at work.

Do apples give people energy? I've got one of them in the back...hmmmm....

There's a mostly unfinished entry saved here that talked about wanting to invite Melissa and the gang over for a BBQ. I've been thinking about them. Hanging out with those honest little tornadoes. They seem to call me out on all the things I'd rather not discuss with adults. And I keep thinking about putting that sweet little boy to bed. The way he was screaming about how he didn't want to sleep and I convinced him to let me pick him up from the couch. Of course he was still crying but it didn't take long to soothe him. Then I went to tuck the bigger boys in and he started crying again. I've gotta admit it's nice to have that little thing want me there. So I had to kneel by his bed until he fell asleep. Don't you dare move either because he'll notice right away. haha.

If I was guaranteed to have kids like that; I'd probably go for it right now. It's not like they're perfect angels either. I've probably only seen most of their good side. The parents have a ton to do with it too. I'll pick their brains if I ever get lucky enough to have some of my own.

I saw CK today. He showed up at the office just to say hi. I'll admit I'd had it in my head that not ever running into him again would maybe be ok. I'd heard someone come in the door and by the time I made it up front he was heading back out. When he caught a glance of me he turned around and said that he was just dropping by to say hi and that's all. I asked what he was up to and that was basically it. As I started walking back to the desk he made mention of it being the last day and I jumped in excitement. So stoked dude!

That was all though. I glanced up to see him again as he walked by outside. He was looking towards the office and I started to wave but hesitated and decided against it. He wouldn't see me anyways. And I'm starting to feel silly about the whole thing. [starting to? HA!]

Did anyone check out the lunar eclipse last night? Why am I asking this question? No one's going to read this any time soon. So lame.
I tried to wake up for it, but I couldn't drag myself out of bed. Mom says she made it out and apparently it was cloudy so I didn't miss much. I hope she's not lying to me. Because I'm super bummed that I missed it. I wanted to see all things "blood moon!" Hard to do that when you have this giant day ahead of you though. I even woke up sometime around 1am but I couldn't do it. Too tired. Yesterday was an insanely dramatic day and I was exhausted.

So there was this couple here yesterday morning. According to snippets I heard, and what my mother said, they were arguing with each other about how they needed to introduce me to their son. He's like almost 40 though. They kept saying that they were going to bring pictures/tell him to stop by/bring him over/etc. All I did was laugh and smile. I wanted to be polite. I mean I haven't seen his picture or anything. Maybe I could conveniently ignore the part about his age. Not that I'm shallow or anything. ;-)

I can't figure out what it is though that attracts so many parents to me. This is the second couple that's mentioned it this season. The first actually sent her son in to us and then asked me about what I thought later. haha. Plus last week a lady came in and told my mom how she was going to keep an eye out at the school for any good looking guys to send my way.

Apparently I make really amazing impressions on people. They always seem to be old people and parents though. Never the actual sons. hah! Just my luck. That's ok though. One of these days I'm sure I'll figure out exactly what it is that I say or do. It's probably because I work here with my mom. Good family values or something like that? Plus like my amazing personality, obviously! =]

I always knew I'd be one of those girls you'd want to take home to your mother. I should be available for rent. That could involve some free dinners. Home-cooked dinners! I'm going to have to look into this!

Speaking of dinners: we went out last night. My mother, aunt, coworker, and I. It was nice, but I'm starting to realize how much I eat compared to other women. Like they all stopped with half their food on their plates and I paused to debate doing the same. Only like I still wanted to eat. haha. My coworker said that it was ok. Her sister's husband was completely impressed by the fact that she cleaned off her plate while they were dating. This could be a bonus for me.

Also my brother was just telling his boss about how when I come visit we make a list of all the food joints to hit up. He told him I was "skinny" too, so that was nice. It sounds even more impressive that way. haha. I am actually quite proud of the fact that I can keep up with the guys when it comes to my eating habits. Of course I don't eat that way all the time. But when you go out with your brother [who is at least twice your size] and only eat two fewer slices of pizza than he does; that's super impressive! I'll try to be humble about sharing this fact with other people though. [Come to think of it, if I'm ever around a guy I "like" I tend to get really shy and not eat half of what I usually do so I'll need to work on that in order for this to be an advantage for me....]

rose.
