Shouldn't have worn high heels to work

(Despite the Pistons' last two ridiculous losses...)

I concluded that the last four days have been amazing. Perfectly rejuvinating, the best way to end high school, the best way to start off my summer. And I found out today that my cousin Hans is coming to stay with us this summer. It will be the first time in 18 years one of our relatives has come to America to visit!

I finally cleaned my car out yesterday, and then D and I went to Lifetime again. After a couple hours there, we went to Yvonne's to watch the game with Keri, Sarah, Sarah, Wes, and Greg.

Just the most random things yesterday made me "head-in-the-clouds" happy. Like having the time to sit down and scrapbook my heart out. Like Keri's "thanks and goodbye" yesterday. Like D and my food run to Meijer for cheap sushi and strawberries yesterday.

I'll be all set if the rest of my summer is like this.

Claude was trying to make me feel better today at work. Instead of calling Veronica (the new co-op) a "co-op" when referring to her, he was calling her "Tammy's assistant". But she is getting the best computer that Ricardo has, and I still have to move my desk over so they can squeeze her in next to me. Bummer.

Spent the day with Mr. Hot and Humid!

Yess, yesterday was an active day.

I feel bad because I woke up late and was originally going to Harvest in AA with Karen, but I didn't hear my alarm and didn't wake until she called to ask if I was coming. Sorry Karen.

D and I went rollerblading in Maybury's trails, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with myself. Who knew I was so out of shape? Next time we'll shoot for three rounds, at least.

After that, we went to Rebecca's where I met up with Mr. and Mrs. Good for the first time since before winter :)

We went to Lifetime and spent four hours fooling around with weights/biking/seeing Zach/swimming/hottubbing.

Went to Meijer, picked up some chicken and peach juice. Went back to D's and between the two of us, we made corn, chicken, salad, and mashed potatoes.

Then watched Miss Congeniality until we fell asleep.

Yesss, good day.

Cheers! Prom was AMAZING!

Wednesday/Thursday --
Last day for Rohde's seniors (Mike, Sarah, James, Matt, Bethany, and me)

Pre Prom --
After our last day of school Thursday, Yvonne and I went to get manicures and pedicures, went shopping for some last-minute things, had frozen pizza, and raved about how excited we were for prom. Cheers with our prickly pear lemonade!Then D and I went to get his tux, and then we dropped by Gabe's to watch the game with him and Stephanie. And we left early. For pretty apparent reasons, and I'm not talking about the actual game.

Prom Day --
Went to get my hour-and-a-half hair done and then makeup. Here's documentation (for the boys that don't get why girls take pictures of expensive hair) I swear I'm not naked. It's just the effects of a strapless dress.Then Megan, D, and then the Chrysler limo came over, and we picked everyone up... And went to the Shenandoah Country Club!
After parteee --
Ummm I gotta keep it G-rated so I'll leave those pictures off of here ;)

My newfound "Only Child" Syndrome

The "Only Child" Syndrome is when an only child finds out his/her parents are having another baby and he/she feels threatened that he's/she's not the cutest anymore. Now he/she has to share all the toys, be a good role model, and watch the parents split their attentions between two people.

Ricardo has a new co-op in the IT department and asked me to move my desk over and move my hours/days so she can work there too. That makes a total of 3 actual co-ops in Ricardo (and 1 is an engineer).

I'm cynical because it's like they're upgrading or something. It's like the IT department is adopting another kid or something.

See, there's only 2 co-ops in the US's Ricardo locations. I'm one of them. And today, Claude comes over and is like, "umm so about your summer plans... you'll have to move your days and hours around and also move your desk over because we have another IT co-op coming in." I know, I know, I'm super-spoiled.

I guess what happened was this girl from Grand Valley is best friends with the President of Ricardo's daughter and asked him to get her a job. What pisses me off, is I fought through hell to get this job and she just comes home from college and whines that she needs a job. So Jeremy, the president (who has never dropped by to meet me, say hi, or anything - our company is small enough that he should), pretty much told Claude he didn't have a choice but to take her in and treat her like me. What if they like her more than me? What if she's smarter and prettier?

I guess that determines that I would never survive at Bosch where there are hundreds of co-ops and they get thrown into a room to do crappy work (as a nice way to put it) and aren't even guaranteed their jobs. They're born into a family with lots of brothers and sisters. Or maybe that's a good thing.

Her resume says she can type 80 wpm. Bring it on baby, bring it on.
