A little R & R might do me some good.
I’ve not been myself lately. And I know I’m just tired as hell so my fuse is short and my patience is pretty much non-existent (not like I have much to begin with). And I’m all sorts of hormonal crazy. Apparently, it was picked up on at work. So, my manager made sure that I took tomorrow off and is sending me to get a mani/pedi at a chi-chi spa place.
So. Awesome.
Honestly, no one I’ve worked for before as ever cared that much about their team. It’s overwhelming, really. I do absolutely love my job. I love what I do, the people I do it with and the company I do it for. In my 11 professional years (fuck, 11!? omg) I’ve never had that. I’m really lucky and grateful and don’t really know how to accept it. So, thank you Katie Swick for caring that much and being an awesome manager. I wouldn’t want to work there with out you. Remember, I’ll throw you in the Bayou if you ever leave and then your face will melt off. <3!
So, tomorrow, I’ll be relaxing. Hopefully the Dangermobile will be good to me. We’ll have a talk before I leave. Otherwise Katie might have to come rescue me.
Maybe I’ll post pics of my toes when I’m done. 
Also, since I haven’t really shown my people who don’t see me erry day, I think I should show off my hair. I actually love it. I’ve never in 32 years worn it straight until now. I dig it and I think it suits me more as I get older.
For reference, this was me about 3 years ago just after the big DEE-VORCE and when I first started dating Mikey.
And now! I took these 2 days ago.
Mike thinks it’s funny that you can see our toilet in one of those pics. He’s five years old.
Bed is calling my name.
-Sleeping in.

I concur, Katie is awesome! (and it’s about time you dragged her to twitter)
) I”m glad you’re gonna get some pampering tomorrow at the chi-chi spa. Or as my new favorite English dude would call it: poncy. Gotta be my new favorite word! Either way, incredibly fabulous. Also, if I do move to Houston, I will have to come work with you. Otherwise, no deal. Deal?
I told you before but f’rul, your hair looks AMAZING! I am super jealous, as you know. I can’t believe the color still looks so rich. Mine holds color for like, 2 weeks. I already need to re-dye it. Oh well…
Sleep well, my fabulous friend. I love you. Thank you for being as patient as you’ve been with MY breakdowns, with as stressed as you’ve been lately. We make a fabulous team!
<3!
i am indescribably jealous of your love for your job. very happy for you, but crazy jealous. my job? i spent my half hour drive home crying from stress, everyone i work with sucks, and…i hate it there. i can’t wait to move! i would adore to have even half the happiness you have at your job. you deserve it, though! i’m glad you finally found a place where you’re appreciated and recognized for your awesomeness.
Ok, you apparently have my dream job. I’ve always said that your co-workers are what make or break your enjoyment of a job. It sounds like you have it good all the way around. I’m so happy for you, Ali. After the problems you’ve had the last couple years with sucky companies and non-professionalism, you truly deserve to be working at such a wonderful place with great people.
And your hair is too cute! I would’ve never been able to imagine it straight on my own, thank you for the pics LOL. I’ve aaaaalways seen it curly. But it looks so awesome on you and I agree that it suits you perfectly.
Now go have some R&R
XOXO
Awww, shucks. Katie heart’s Ali. (Katie actually hearts her whole fabulous team in the event the rest of you are reading this
.
Rachel’s probably mad that I never made her take a day off and get her nails and toes done
Some how I don’t think Phil would have gone for that, what do you think Rachel?
PS – Does this mean you’ll blog about your friggin’ scarf, now?
I’m not mad, but I really don’t think Phil would have gone for that. Although Jeff would have asked why we didn’t do something more fun! You could have totally got him to sign off on it! lol
Glad you are getting some R&R pretty lady. Soon when you say you want R&R you can just call me. I’ll be Rachel Rogers! Anyway, hope you are having a great day BFF!
You deserve all that R&R. What a cool boss.
Totally love the hair.
Love the hair, miss sassy pants! Swickster is awesome.
I hope you had great day, honey!
