In Which I Eat an Apple and Type at the Same Time

It sure has been a while hasn't it?  Well, it's been quite a busy past few weeks here in Nashvegas.  During the days it was all GET-READY- FOR-THE-MEETING at work, then at home it was all P.A.R.T.A.Y!!!

Just kidding on that last part.  It was more like SLEEPING.  We did go out one Friday night for a friend's birthday.  We went to Tribe, one of the local gay bars.  The bartender called Josh "babe".  I think he was shocked and maybe a little complimented.  I always feel happy when bartenders say nice things to me like that....but I'm a woman and that's what men do, compliment us.  (Not really sure what I'm talking about here...just typing really fast.)  Then we went to Karaoke! Whooo hooo!  I love karaoke so much.  We went to a different place than my normal bar, and it was much less crowded.  The best part?  I got to sing Wonder Boy by Tenacious D!  The other place has a strict no Tenacious D policy.  It's my favorite song to sing.

Sunday I woke up early and drove with co-workers to Philadelphia, Mississippi.  Mississippi mind you.  Have you heard of this town? Probably not because there is nothing there.  The casino was nice and I actually did like the incredibly and unbelievably long walk from the room to the main meeting area.  The food was terrible though!  And having to avoid wheat as I do, there was very little to choose from.  Mostly just chicken wings.  There were no veggies the entire week.

I tried to bring my own food, which mostly worked out well.  I did have to eat one gluten free bagel with peanut butter.  It was dry and horrible.  I only like bagels when they have 1/4 inch of cream cheese on them.  I had bought some rasberries and brought them with me.  On the first day I ate a bunch and then felt terribly sick.  The sickness pain hit me while I was walking through the loud and smoke-filled casino floor to our "food".  I sat down, then had to get up and find the bathroom.  I asked a woman at the nearby resteraunt, and she wouldn't let me in there and looked at me like I was a freak because I didn't know where the check in desk was.  I found the woman's bathroom just in time to throw up in the garbage can in front of the woman cleaning the bathroom.  That was fun.

My new position at work is sort of a big deal.  I didn't know.  I've already got Chiefs lined up and waiting to talk to me.  I exaggerate only a little.  The head boss here talked to me again.  That's like a record or something.

How long does it take for fruit flies to hatch from an apple core?  How long can I keep an apple core on my desk before my coworkers make me throw it away?  Oh, I need the fruit flies to feed my venus fly trap.  I might catch some ants tonight and bring them in tomorrow to feed it.
