Sandwich Story


I thought i would post what my day has been like so far...humorous things like this keep happening to me, and i thought you, my blogging family, might gain a few laughs from it.
So we have a board meeting in the Chamber today..the whole chamber board ( around 10-13 people) come together for a meeting. They decided they wanted sandwiches at this meeting. So i was asked to go up to Safeway and get some subs and chips for the meeting. I called in the order and then was chastised for not calling earlier. But they said they would do it. So i show up to get it, and it's in the middle of Hermiston High School lunch rush..NOT FUN. I get the sandwich's and chips, balance them and get them to my car and get them to the conference center but i was a little late. So the meeting was just getting started. I walk in and realize the sandwich's ( 3 huge subs) are not cut. And Debbie my boss is like will you cut them for us. I felt like saying yes massah. So they all stare at me while I'm struggling to cut these huge subs ( mind you I'm cutting them with a HHS sports boosters STEAK knife from the steak feed we went to) that was the only knife provided for me. So I'm like sawing through these sandwiches trying to get them cut, pieces of the sandwich were flying around. I was so embarrassed and you know when you cut a sandwich badly like parts of it are all hanging out...when i got through it looked like a sandwich war had been fought and i wanted to yell sandwich down in a war voice. So i ran out of the room and I'm hiding in my office now. Sigh. The whole time i was cutting up their sandwiches they were all just staring at me. sigh.

A Rainy Day in Paris

I have been VERY remiss on my blogging!!!! I hate that!! I'm in a dreamy, cozy state right now so I'm going to find a picture on google that reminds me of my mood and write my feelings on
that


Found a picture of a rainy day in Paris..i wish i could hop a plane right now and get lost in the beauty of a small Parisian cafe. I'd sip espresso wearing a warm scarf and have nothing in front of me but a blank sheet of paper and a pen. I'd sit for hours on end writing on the flurry of thoughts in my mind mixed in with the observations of pedestrians walking in front of me. After i felt i had soaked in enough of the world around me i would venture out. Pulling my woolen cap closer down on my head i would just stroll up and down the city streets; soaking in the culture and the world around me. Happiness would overtake all my senses...being in a new world does that. It makes you not only re-evaluate the normalcy of one's world back home, but the beauty and wonder of being alone in a new place. Even the being alone wouldn't bother me...I'm an adventurer at heart. I thrive on new experiences and places....someday...someday I'll get to that cafe and that moment. And friends, I'm not sure if I'll come back:)
Enjoy the rainy day...and explore the thoughts that come to your mind when you find you have a moment to contemplate and think
