Time to update the 'About Me' section.

Well, I'm a Bailey girl again. My divorce was finalized yesterday, which turned out to be more quick and painless than I anticipated. I only cried a little before it started and the baliff is entirely to blame. He was just way too nice, telling me that "it'll be alright, ya know". Hmmm. I knew that, but he didn't need to be nice. I was starting to worry that a hug would be coming next. The judge was super nice too and just asked me a few yes/no questions before she changed my name back and I was good to go. All in all, it's just a relief to have it over with.

My good friend Ms. Kimmy is taking a cake decorating class and this is what she brought home last night in celebration. Don't you just feel the love. She even used her daughters '4' candle from her last birthday to sing me "Happy Divorce Day To You"! If I end up with copies of the pictures, they'll definitely make an appearance here. I don't recommend eating such an extravagant cake around 10pm, due to the resulting sugar rush. I still don't remember sleeping last night. My arms and legs just couldn't stop jittering. No worries... it was totally worth it.

Proof that I might be losing my mind.

I have a Snickers bar that's been sitting in my pen cup, on my desk for about 2 weeks. It's had an eventful life while in my care. The Snickers bar spent it's first few days in the cup, completely ignored. Once I remembered it was there, I tossed it in my purse for later consumption. Well... it fell out in the back of my car and promptly melted in the 8 million degree temperatures of an Arizona car. Of course I was overwhelmed with sadness at this point and placed the melted mess in the freezer. Last week, I took it out to defrost and set it back on my desk.

REPEAT.

Yep, I've done this twice now. Poor lil' Snickers is at my desk again, all defrosted and ready to go. Weird part is that I no longer crave Snickers candy bars and I only bought it out of habit. Crazy. At any other point in my life I would have eaten that goodness in any form... fresh, melted, frozen or defrosted. Anyone who wants to drop by my work for a visit can enjoy this piece of work!

Another reason to upgrade the phone.

There's nothing like driving around a bunch of crazy people on a Friday night. On the upside, I did brush up on my two step with the country folk. I found that as long as my partner knew what he was doing, then I only seemed slightly spastic. This Wednesday might lead to some free swing dance lessons... I'm pretty excited about that. The problem with all this is that I need pictures. I've been slacking off big time. I blame my phone. Obviously it means I need a new phone with a fancy camera, so I can immediately send the pictures to my computer. It's officially on the To Do List.

Our independence proved to be a distraction.

Summer has definitely started. The heat takes my breath away as soon as I walk outside. blech. My car has only overheated once... so far. Keeping my fingers crossed and the car filled with coolant. Hopefully she'll be a good lil' girl and keep chuggin' away through the rest of the year.

Summer school is complete. There was definitely an oopsie daisy, that I'm totally blaming on the 4th of July. Kinda forgot the date for the last test... don't worry, I remembered 30 min. too late. Luckily I still received a B overall. Good enough!



Those cookies pictured above were the distraction. We threw quite the shebang at work in celebration of the recent holiday. We cooked up some hamburgers and hotdogs, microwaved a tub of Country Crock mac n'cheese even ate a few grapes. The grand finale was the cookie decorating. Look at those works of art. It took a lot of thought and mad skills.

Other than that... I've still been pretty busy lounging by the pool.
