The Saga of the Rope

Obviously I’ve been so busy, I forgot to post.

Last weekend we went into the city for Dim Sum, Karaoke and Korean food again.

Sunday I went with my girlfriends to see Magic Mike. They really could have cut the plot and dialogue in half. The rest of the movie was good :) We ate at Grand Luxe before hand :P

We had our company picnic at work this week. There was a lot of drama over the tug-of-war rope. I texted Roy Sunday night and he responds, “who is this?” Really? Who else is going to ask about a tug-of-war rope at 8:30pm on a Sunday? Well, besides Roy. I should have told him I was his boss. I ended up ordering one off of amazon with overnight shipping. The shipping would have been like $50, but amazon kindly asked, “Do you want to save $45 on this order?” “Why yes, yes I do want to save $45!” So I used my one month Amazon Prime trial and saved the day. Then Joe went and spent $80 on backing tracks and one of the service anniversary people didn’t come to the picnic so we couldn’t use his $200. That’s a lot of bagel money we lost.

It didn’t rain until around 4. We cut out one of the games, mostly because it was hot and people just wanted to hang out in the water or in the shade. We did the sand castle competition judging early because we heard thunder. Food was late, so we sang before it came out. Food sucked pretty bad. Otherwise things went pretty well. Some people actually did my scavenger hunt :) I think everyone had fun.

I took off yesterday and today, not because of the picnic, mostly. Rachelle, Chris and I were supposed to go to Six Flags yesterday, but that got scraped due to the possibility of more thunderstorms. I went to the Museum of Natural History instead. I guess I was still tired from Wednesday because I fell asleep during both the planetarium and IMAX movies. To be fair, the planetarium was just was too comfy and relaxing and the IMAX theater wasn’t a real IMAX theater… I enjoyed the space and creatures of light exhibits. I bought a few friend for my office.

Today I’m hanging out with my daddy. I finally picked up my preserved wedding dress. “How long has it been since the wedding?” “Two years … and a half. I procrastinate.” She said she had a girl come in after four years, so it could be worse.

I also had to buy someone another shower gift because I accidentally left her’s at home. Oops. Oh well, you can never have too many shower gifts. Unless they all can’t fit in your car. Then I guess that’s too many.
