The day before vacation...

So it's the day before vacation, and I am so excited. Why because Employee Appreciation Week beat me down last week, and I am still wheeling from it. Clearly by Friday, I just had to try out the slide in the bounce house to ensure that it was fun for the children. But seriously, that week is hellicious! The planning alone is a beat down. However, this year, I had a new little helper, the kid aka Chicago. She is our new HR rep, and she is 12. Don't worry, I all ready told her she was 12. She reminds me of me when I first started working my first job after college. So full of life and good ideas and energy. The cynicism hasn't even touched her. It's great. Not to mention, she is a yankee, and that makes her my people. I am happy she is here, and I am happy that she helped with this Employee week, because without her, it could have been much, much worse. Like say, LAST YEAR!

So tomorrow I am heading off to Traverse City which is very awesome because it reminds me of my childhood. My family and I used to always vacation there, and I remember this awesome little magic shop. I hope it's still there. This time, I am taking my BFF Hollywood with me. She is very excited too and has focused on bringing a parka. I think it's funny. But it won't be too funny when the temp drops to 38 at night. Well it won't be funny for her if she forgets that parka.

So today, although it is Tuesday, it is really my Friday. So I better get to cracking. I have a paper to write for school.
