Happy Birthday to ME!!! :)

Yesterday was my 25th birthday...yup 1/4 century old! :P  It was pretty quite, but nice.  I picked up Ferny-girl and took her and Gus to Frankenmuth for the GEM M&G.  It was REALLY humid and rained, but fun.  We sat at the booth for a while until Gus got restless and then I took both of them and walked around River Place Shops (where the M&G was at).  We talked to quite a few people about how fabulous greyhounds are and I think there were several that were very interested.  About 215 it really started to rain and both hounds were getting pretty warm, so we headed back to Brighton.  Laura came over for dinner and we ordered pizza (yummy!) and hung out.  We were both pretty tired, so she and Ferny headed home about 800 and I watched some of the Tigers game (GRRRRR!!! >:0 ).  About 930, Robin called (I thought it was something to do with the dogs), but it turned out to be Robin, Laze, Hilde and Merrie singing me Happy Birthday!  It was really funny and made me smile!  Other than that, I just snuggled with Prince and watched Thursday's episode of 'Hopkins'.

Today, I met up with Amy for lunch.  It was very yummy and good to see her.  Even though she lives closer now that shes moved, I dont see her a whole lot!  Hopefully that will change.  After lunch we went to Borders.  They had a TON of books on sale, so I got a coffee table book called America 24/7, which is a compilation of pictures from all over the country during a one-week span.  It was normally $50 and I got it for $4.99!!!  I also got a book of M.C. Esher's drawings.

Now, Im just hanging out, watching 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' with Prince snuggling on my lap.  Im thinking of taking Gus, Gina and Prince to get ice cream later today.  We shall see how adventurous I feel! :P

EXHAUSTED!!!!

Well...I started at Exatec on Monday.  The first 3 days have been filled with a s@#$ load of reading and a lot of asian men!  

Ok...that sounds really bad.  Yesterday and today weve had people from Toyota walking through the lab and plant to look at our production and testing.  Well...because they were there (and this was a HUGE thing for Exatec), we all had to look professional (dressed up, lab coats...the works) and every time they could possibly walk by, walk through, or just plan look up from the operations floor into the lab we had to be busy.  Well...I didnt know jack about what they did or how to look busy, so someone would give me a quick 5 minute training on a test and then have me test the same two samples over and over and over and over and...well you get the idea!  The only problem was that the 5 minute training just confused the H@** out of me.  Needless to say, its been a whole lot of information overload in the last 3 days!

Hopefully I will be able to learn a little more tomorrow and Friday!

Anywho...from now until Sunday night Im hanging out in Brighton with Robin and Laze's hounds while theyre in Louisville.  Saturday, if the weather is nice, Im planning on taking one or two of them up to Frankenmuth for a GEM M&G.  I figured its a good way to spend my birthday!

Hope everyone has a GREYT weekend! :)
