Happy Jottings

The New Year is off to a good start. The return to work has been easy -- productive and at a good pace, starting out slow then picking up.

While things are not too crazy yet, one of our bosses suggested we have a get together. Lounge, cocktails. We all gussied up -- men and women! And even our friend L, whose get-up du jour was black shirts and jeans, gussied up! He looked soooo adorable and sharp at the same time!!!

All the girls were in dresses, and the boys in their dress shirts. It was awesome because everyone felt handsome as we sipped our mixed drinks in the glow of red and green lava lamps. :D

It was unfortunate that our boss, chief instigator of it all, could not join us because of a family emergency. But I'm hoping for a do over where he can actually join.

This is what I had been waiting for in all the places I've worked in -- chances for us all to just hang out, get to know each other, and be normal people. Chances for us to be friends. And NAA, I think, gets that. So am very glad.

While waiting for NAA, we played desert island -- the only game I could think of. And it was, luckily, a hit. With a little psychoanalysis twist. Hoho and I were the "hosts" and everyone would butt in with their own "readings" as well.

Am so glad.

Rushed off to meet with my Beyotches' mums, too. And I felt loved and cared for by everyone. And beautiful, too, on top of all that. In my new evergreen dress, a loaned belt, and Steve Madden mary janes!

Mad about mary janes.
