Hi Ho...Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho...

I made it through my first day back at the office. Wow, it wore me out! I immediately walked into a huge hug from Deloris. What a welcome. Everyone was so kind, and asking how I was throughout the day. I feel stupid- I actually didn't expect to be so tired. It was nice to be back in my cube, swamped with Huttig, and listening to NPR all day. I realized that since my time out was on the FMLA, I still have like a week and a half of vacation time this year! Woohoo.

That gives me plenty of time to take Maddie on our mini-road trip. I was talking with her a few weeks ago, and the topic turned to drive-in movies. She obviously has never been to one. I believe that the only ones left are in North STL county- over my dead body!- and one in Belleville- what's the point?- so...I am taking her to the small town where I spent my childhood days. We will catch a movie there, and I will give her a tour through my twisted youth. Sounds fun, right?

Oooooooooooh! btw- I am so smooth. I gently let Dan down the other night, explaining the most respectable reason why I could not see him again. I received an email from him this morning. I hesitated opening it, but obviously I did. This man is a class act, and I am so good. He wrote that I was so wise beyond my years, and of course he understood why I could not go out with him again. However, I am very beautiful, and if I change my mind I know where to find him. Damn, I am good.

I finished my book last night- Devil in the White City. It was incredible. I have reclaimed my reading habits, and I just cannot seem to get enough! Back onto Memoirs of a Geisha. I am only half way through....

Good night, all. Five-thirty comes early.
