Random and Out of Order

So I was trying to set up my blog to post later and was quickly adding pics.. and realized in my somewhat distracted state, I uploaded pics out of order. haha.. Whatever. *shrug*

And first...a story you'll laugh at from today... Background: from losing my sh*t (blog post below) to Britney (a late night) to United W@y stuff to my first presentation at 7am tomorrow (nervous!) to allergies to a somewhat health scare (below post), I think I was just plain spent. So, guess what I did. I got home, came upstairs and, feeling like CUUUHRAP, opted to lay down for a bit. Woke up after a couple hours, decided to go to Target and to get some food and realized my rental car's lights were on. (remember I have the rental for while Im at the UW since I do so much driving). I thought "Oh no..." I got closer and realized... the car was RUNNING. I thought "oh no! I locked my keys in the car since I was so out of it!" I got even closer and realized... the doors were not locked. So yeah...the car was running. For hours. With the doors unlocked. Good job, Jax. Goooood job. *shaking head at myself and considering myself EXTREMELY lucky!*

Okay, so... out of order randomness...

After I finished with the Day of C@ring last Friday, I took little G money to the doggie park!! A stupid nice man gave her a treat. I don't advise giving ONE dog a treat in a park full of dogs. My little pup made NO friends, but instead proceeded to growl at every dog who came close to her and her special treat. It got so bad, I picked up the treat and then had about 10 dogs around me....The whole thing was likely funny to watch, I think. I opted to take her home rather than give away her treat b/c I knew she really wanted it (yes, she's spoiled. I know). However, we got in the car.. and notice how interested in the treat she became. Not.at.all. She's such an only child. haha.. wow. Advice: when a dude offers your dog a treat at the dog park, say no. :)
After the pup park, came back and met Sara at Oscar's for a bday happy hr for one of our friends.. Our friend, Tadd, just got a little bulldog and brought him up!! He named him Hef. How adorable is he?! :)
Okay, so during the actual Day of C@ring earlier Friday, I traveled to lots of companies' volunteer projects and snapped photos, thanked them for their help, etc.. One of my companies was assigned to the same place as Eric's group so I got to visit for a bit! They were painting. Obviously.
I have no idea...*laughing*
This was about 6:15 am last Friday morning. We look like we're picketing! (We were told that a couple times, too). It's supposed to say "Give.Advocate.Volunteer. Live Un!ted." It was 6am. Don't blame us for getting the signs out of order. haha... These are some other loaned execs btw!
Kicking off the campaign in the Reynolds Cnter at TU!! :)
They were giving away the sunflower centerpieces so all week I've had some happy sunflowers on my table at home! Love it! I love little casual flowers. Kinda forgot to buy gerber daisies this summer.. I usually pick some up or the house off and on when I see em. :)
Okay, the pics below is from Mon night's Thank You event for Eric's job. It was a party to thank their employees for giving to the UW! :) Eric's involved in his company's campaign so kinda fun that I got to go as his "plus one" but also as a liaison for the UW (hence the black UW polo I was rocking). We're a philanthropic couple.. er..or something.. haha.. ;)
Left there and headed out to my friend, Kristy's, for a Gossip Girl season premiere party...complete with cosmos! Love these girlies! We were all happy to welcome Chuck Bass into our lives.
And in hopes you're still hanging with this completely random blog (sorry!), while I was half awake at Target this evening, lookie what I picked up for UNDER 30 bucks! How cute is this handbag?! I am so in love with my pink coral coach one Eric got me for my bday, but it's officially almost fall and the pink coral isn't going well with some of the fall colors. *sigh* Don't think the pink coral is going away til spring though.. Oh no.. It will come back out with some black attire and add a "pop" with some winter stuff. :) (and I also may have an intention of stopping in the coach outlet when in Dallas in a month and a half..haha..) ;)
Alright, I have my very first presentation on my own tomorrow morning at 7am for about 50 people. I have to introduce a guest speaker, show a video, talk about what we do, answer questions.. agh! Gotta go prep, peeps! Wish me luck-I'm actually quite nervous!

Hope you have a great weekend planned! I also hope your weekend plans involve rooting for your fav football team! We're going down to the TU game in Norman! :)

In regards to tanning, I think maybe we should start some sort of support group. I'm 14 months and going strong! We could have TA - Tanners Anonymous! HAHAHA! I've found that really hot showers are somewhat complimentary to the wonderful warm sensation of the tanning bed, but not nearly as relaxing as the 20 minute nap that accompanies the envelope of warmth - *SIGH*
