Work Thus Far:
1. learned about presidents…did you know that Thomas Jefferson hated the pomp of the presidency so much that he greeted ambassadors in his PJs? Or that Andrew Jackson’s parrot was ejected from his funeral because he was chirping obscenities at the guests? Or that John Tyler has 15 (legitimate) children? Or perhaps that Warren Harding used to offer the White House china as an ante in poker games when he was out of money? (I do the daily trivia for my office’s morning get together…)
2. THERE ARE ONLY 139 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS! Harrod’s in London has set up its ‘Christmas World’ already…
3. Comments about the outfit (which, by the way, has made everyone happy and smiley and is: pink pumps with ruffles, a teal Betsey Johnson skirt bedazzled with painted and sequined flowers, a dark green tank, a hot pink blazer, a white pop bead necklace, and a ponytail complete with the pouf):
a. at the cafeteria my favorite servers said I looked soooo cute and that I was the only person they knew who could pull it off. they said, ‘now we would laugh and make fun of anyone else trying to wear that, but you look great.’ (they obvi don’t know my mom!)
b. what a beautiful skirt!
c. let me see your skirt!
d. well you sure are colorful!
e. two younger guys I work with stop me in the kitchen. Chad: Stephanie, what are you wearing. Let me see that. Alex: that is amazing. Chad: you look just like your mother today. Me: I sure am my mother reincarnated. Chad: you know, I used to go to church just to see what she was wearing every Sunday. Me: I know! It was one of her methods of evangelizing. She got the sinners to church. What will Pam wear today? I gotta go to see! Chad and Alex: giggle…
