spooky town

i'm moving on to bigger and better things....

join me?

happens every time

ugh.

every single time. it never fails.

i'm going to florida for a few days in march...in approximately 1.5 weeks, not like i'm counting.

and ALWAYS...AL...WAYS.....

i get pulled into the boss's office....and the speech...

"blah blah...important...blah...project....blah....next week"

NEXT WEEK?!?! no no, i won't be here...oh..

wait...so...

i have to stay until midnight every night to get it done? yeah, no problem.

no....problem.

this happened last year too...i book a cruise...a magical cruise that i saved every little penny/nickle/dime for...got jim to save too...save save save...months go by....

so close!!

a week before it?

project...important...next week...buhhhh.

i feel like i'm in the movie office space, except not as funny, and no red staplers. :(

i know, august of 2007 was the last one...yikes

here i am again. but this time it's to document something very exciting happening in my life.



if you know me and/or jim, you'll know that in january of 2006, jim held an all day event called "Ape Day", in which people were forced to watch EVERY planet of the apes movie ever made.


you know the ones, "you damn dirty apes!"

forgot it already? Well, here's a visual:

ok, so....needless to say, it was excrutiating. and no amount of spinach pumpernickle dip or white castle crave cases could have made me say otherwise.

but here we are, two years later.

and jim still wants to do another ape day.

"nobody will come" i say. "remember the last one? oh god! the horror!"

...but....maybe.....maybe there is a way...

...

and so it was born:

Chimpo De Mayo

Apes? You got it!

Mexican Themed Fiesta Party? DONE!

Ladies and gentleman, I give you:

mark those calendars!
