I am in love with this!! It’s the perfect theme and colors for my mood lately since March rolled in. I’m a sucker for anything that has polka dots!

I’ve been Twittering a lot. If you don’t have Twitter, I suggest you sign up! and follow me @luxechandelier.

Richard, a deaf mutual friend, and I plan on going to the Biggest Loser casting call on Saturday. The website says not to show up more than 3 hours before casting call but I don’t care I’m still going there bright & early and sit in my car if I have to just to make sure we’re the first few in line. So on Saturday – I’ll be Twittering all day while I’m there.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in Arizona in March. I was away at RIT for the past 5 years and now I get to experience the nice weather we’ve been having. Today was just perfect to the point when I walked out of the office it didn’t even feel like I was outside.

The other night Tyler and I watched “Friday Night Lights” and I loved the song. . .

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts
She’ll make ya breakfast
She’ll make ya toast
She don’t use butter
She don’t use cheese
She don’t use jelly
Or any of these
She uses vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline

I followed the Rahul Treatment Plan today and it kind of didn’t work.

Every time Rahul (don’t you love this picture of him?) was feeling down he would go shopping to make himself feel better. Anyways, today I wasn’t feeling like my usual self so I thought I’d follow the Rahul Treatment Plan with Tyler this evening.

We went to La Fitness first to check out their gym and see how much it is monthly and we weren’t pleased with their gym, it’s small and overcrowded. We then went tanning and I spent 12 minutes in heaven. I work inside all day in an air conditioned building so I don’t get to feel the sun’s rays often anymore.

After that we went to Bed Bath & Beyond and debated for a good few minutes on which mattress pad and fitted sheets to purchase. I’d say the Rahul Treatment Plan wasn’t that successful on us since we kind of felt guilty for buying a mattress pad & fitted sheets.

Hopefully tomorrow morning after I wake up I can say that the Rahul Treatment Plan worked out well! The only problem I may have is I’ll be too comfortable in bed to wake up for work.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Today I really needed this hung in my cubicle. There was an awards luncheon for our company scheduled for today and I had declined to go because there wasn’t going to be an interpreter provided for me. At the beginning when I started working there, my boss informed me that she’d get me an interpreter for meetings I’d be required to go and so far there has been none. Today I did not want to go to the luncheon and sit there pretending to understand everything that was being said and pretending to laugh when everyone laughs. It turns out G came over to question my intentions of going to the luncheon with K. I was furious because K is not me, and if G wants to know why I’m not attending then she can directly ask me! When I got back from lunch G gave off an attitude when I said Hi to her.

They’re breaking the rules with the ADA law of not providing an interpreter for me. I wanted to approach G about this but I decided not to and to keep calm and carry on.

With the economy so bad right now, I’m just grateful that I have a job and I’m not going to quit but in the next few months I’m going to keep my options open and see what other jobs there are out there and if they have anything better to offer.
