The Red Hat Society always intrigues me... first off, most of these women are die-hards in that they even have purple luggage!!! I kind of laughed at that. It also brings back memories of choir at Augustana where we sang a song about a woman who decided she didn't care what people thought and was going to wear purple all the time (it was after singing that song that I learned about the RHS). Anyway... I always wonder about the women who join this society... what were they like when they were my age? Did they play it by the book? Or were they always doing their own thing? I was chatting with Ange about it and she said that she's joining the RHS the day she turns 50. Her grandmother and aunt and cousin are already members... although because her cousin is under 50, she only gets to wear a pink hat. Ange isn't going to half-ass it with the pink hat... she's waiting until she can go straight to red. :) So I guess that just sort of answered my question... at least in the case of Ange. She certainly plays by the rules right now. I wonder if I would ever join the Red Hat Society... I don't know. I think it might be a stretch for me. Will my mom ever join? Once again... not sure. But it's a fun thing to think about on a Friday morning. :)So today is my last day in the lab... everyone keeps asking me how I feel and honestly, it doesn't feel that different... other than that I know that I don't have anything to do today and that's okay. I think this whole job ending thing seems less real just because I'm not moving anywhere. Every time I've had a job end, I have moved. Now I'm staying in the same place. And I already have plans for activities with different people in the lab in the coming couple months... so I know that I'll be seeing most of them (at least the ones I care about!) in that time. So it's not like I'll never see them again, etc. So yeah... just weird. Ange and I just made a trip to Starbucks... she was going to treat me since it was our final Starbucks run. When we got there and were chatting with the baristas (who we all know since we go there so often) they found out it was my last day and the manager ended up paying for my coffee himself. So that was way nice. It really is the little things in life. People like that make me forget about how much I'm spending on coffee (at least temporarily!). There is another barista at that Starbucks who works in the afternoon who is just a ton of fun also. And if we ever had to wait too long for a drink, he'd give us certificates for free drinks. And you know what... that always brings us back in for more. Good customer service will always do that. :)
So what else? I don't know... there isn't really a lot to report right now. It is freaking cold here today... I don't know what's up with that... but it is NOT pleasant!! I'm just like... you've got to be kidding me!! I'm hoping that maybe the sun will make an appearance sometime today... but that may be too much to ask. We'll see. And it's going to be a weekend of crappy weather, apparently... which sucks. But at least Mark and I have indoor activities planned. I don't know what I'm most excited about... Mark is going to finally get to see the house tomorrow. I am really happy about that just because he hasn't been able to see it except in pictures and I know that it's hard for him to visualize without seeing it in person. It would be the same for me. So we will get to spend a little time in there looking around and I can start explaining where I'm thinking of seeing furniture go, etc. So that will be good. And then I'm going to be stamping, which is ALWAYS fun. I love stamping... but I'm sure you all know that by now... :) And then we are going to see X-3... so it will be a busy day!! But I think it should be fun...
Anyway... I wish I had more to say, but I really don't... so I guess I should be going. Lab meeting today is going to be my going away party... we're ordering Chinese/Sushi and then apparently there is some big dessert thing. So we'll see. We're all about the desserts here. I just like the free food. :) LOL Anyway... I should be going... I will talk to all of you soon!! Have a great weekend!
