Celebrate Good Times, C'Mon!

Tonight we're celebrating my hubs bday with more people. Not a huge crowd, just a handful of friends.

We're doing a Caribbean (Jamaican) theme. I ordered Tortuga Rum Cakes and even had them sent overnight cuz I wanted to use those as Scott's bday cake. They were pricey, but they're worth it.



I don't even know if I have anything "Caribbean" to wear to my own party. Wish I looked cute in sleeveless. I'd wear something like this:



Anyway, I better go. Need to make a list and start cleaning/marinating!

The Hubs turns 31!

Today my husband (nicknamed "hubs") turned 31 years old.  We went to The Outback to celebrate w/Jennifer from The Morning Brewcast and John, her husband.  We had fun!  Jennifer was kinda tired though.  Apparently she had slept/woken up 3 different times today...... :)

That's all! Good night.

Do I have to...

...go to work tomorrow?

Reasons for not going:

• Boss is annoying and smells bad.
  
• We started this personal productivity tracking tool and it sucks. 
  
• We were defined as a "service factory" the other day. Great. I'm a degreed individual working a mindless job, and really, I'm only a factory "line worker" but I sure as hell don't get paid as well as one.
  
• Never any "real" work and the day CRAWLS by.
  
• Everything with management is a damn secret.
• The company refuses to spend any money on us and it really shows.  You should see our PATHETIC cubicles.
  
• The place is just an overall depressing joint.

I need a new job and a new resume.  I hate this job hunting crap.

Can't Sleep

Not that this weighs heavy on my mind or anything... its more of an "I don't get it" type of thing. But it seems like every time we invite a big group of people over, most people find a reason not to come. I guess take our wedding for example. We invited 200 people and not even 100 came. (And don't they say to expect 70%?) I guess this is payback for not being as social as I probably should be. I wonder if this means people really don't like us.

Where do you meet people? Work? School?

We met the majority of people here through meetup groups and work. I haven't met too many other people via mutual friends. And honestly, my work just isn't a good "pool" of people to hang out with. First of all, most the people at my work -- I would never hang out with on a daily basis. And second, of the ones I would, they are either too old (because they have kids my age) or they have really young kids and no babysitter.

It makes me feel bad that people don't like to hang out with us. We have like 2 friends who are always up for anything, and I love that about them. Though, we do the same for them... I dunno. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Or maybe we just have 2 friends in this city. Or maybe this means I really do need to move to Austin. I've heard there are more people there like me.
