so it's official, Macy and I are being stalked by foxes! Frickin' things are scaring the bejesus outta me! Every morning we walk with our friend Mona, she's a retired nurse that walks an hour every morning around the village (she's my hero!). We walk over to her house to meet her and then she escorts us home ... at least this used to be our routine. She lives in an area that is a little more secluded than my downtown metro location (lmao) and the stretch of about 1 block before her house is open field, a ravine, a bunch of bushes etc so no where to go and it is dark ... especially at 6:15 am when we are walking. We've seen foxes MANY times and they often just stop and watch you but 2 times last week they followed me up her driveway. The most recent time on Sunday they followed at a good trot and thank god her front door was open this time so I could go in. That bloody thing followed us right to the door and then sat down to watch us for a few minutes. By the time she came out to us it was gone. I think they might be living in the drainage thingies in her ditch. So as I was near vomiting on Sunday night stressing out and figuring out how I was going to tell her I couldn't walk that way anymore, or beg her to drive over to my house so neither of us would have to walk alone anymore ... turns out she was feeling the same way! Monday morning we headed out to meet her and she was already almost at our house, she had parked down at her friends house so she could miss that nasty stretch of road where the foxes mostly like to hang out. We now walk for 45 mins in the morning with her and do pretty much her whole route around the village. This is even better than what we were doing before! Will be good for both Macy and I ... and most importantly we have not yet seen 1 fox!
So my cruise is now 1 week away! I can hardly stand it! I now have a list a mile long of potential things to pack ... oh the fun it will be this weekend trying to narrow it down! The ridiculous thing is a lot of the ensembles revolve around a certain new pair of grey boots I bought ... ones that have been worn once and then the 2nd time I put them on the zipper split on me. I was livid! There were a lot of bad words said! I have now taken them to the shoe doctor and I am optimistic that he is going to be able to fix the zipper because if he can't it will be $25 a zipper to replace them ... I only paid $60 for the boots in the first place! I feel a road trip to Pt. Huron this weekend coming on to try to return them! Hmm that might not be such a bad plan because I am also obsessed with getting a pair of black pointy toed dress shoes as all my dress shoes are open toed. I think this would solve a lot of hassle for my trip, they will be very functional with all the dress ensembles I am planning for the formal/semi-formal dinners. Damn me and my obsessiveness! Once I get an idea I often have to give in an go with it! Yep I'm going to Pt. Huron! lol
Did I mention how fantastic it will be to have 2 weeks off work?!?!? I soo need it. Luckily I am already just about in vacation mode, I had a meeting today with my staff and some of them I seriously just don't understand. I don't ask a lot of them, and frankly they've gotten away with WAY too much in the past. I am trying to lay down the law a little tougher now (ha that's hysterical ... me lay down the law!) ... and the one just has such an attitude about it. Seriously part of the job requirements since the day she walked in the door almost 10 years ago were that she dress business casual meaning no jeans and t-shirts ... today I told her no more jeans Monday - Thursday and she got pissed off. Seriously?!?!? We've been letting you get away with it for a few years and you're lippy about being called out on it? Thank god I'm going on holidays because I can't deal ...
on that note I have about100 more ATC cards to make for this cruise and they aren't gonna make themselves so I'm off to work! I came up with one really cool design if I do say so myself. I used the picture of Macy that is in the header here and made it an Andy Warholish design. I have a few fun sayings that I'm putting on as well. Fun!
