Just to re-cap...
Names that employers, co-workers or other outside sales people have called me that aren’t my actual name:
Emily (More as a term of affection by my old boss. Having seen The Devil Wears Prada, she declared me her “Emily”. The nickname stuck.)
Lisa (Former boss’ father’s incorrect interpretation of my name.)
Trish (Former boss’ father’s name for me the...

Convos with Maggie
Maggie: What are your wedding colors?
Me: Navy, ivory and rust
Maggie: Thanks!
Me: Why do you ask?
Maggie: I wanted to find coordinating wrapping supplies for your present. But failed.
Me: Ah, I'm terribly sorry.
Me: Though I greatly appreciate the effort and it will be duly noted when considering your thank you card.
Maggie: Oh, I figured I just won't give you anything. Just because I can't find matching paper.
Me: Ok. Understandable. I would do the same.
Maggie: We're so alike.
Me: It's uncanny.
Me: Our sarcasm is so dry it could recede the shoreline.

Sprinting
Know what is an unfortunate side effect of drinking VAST amounts of coffee in the morning? Aside from the heart palpitations and the overwhelming desire to propel yourself out of a conference room window 2 stories above a channel of water to test the theory that you can fly?
The sudden and crippling need to pee every 15 minutes before you lose control of your bladder.

All's Quiet on the Office Front
(when I'm bored, and James is away from his desk, I'll start pestering him on gchat)
Me: jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames
Me: when i had the idea to write that, i was really going braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains in my head, like a zombie, and giggled
Me: because braaaaains and jaaaames sounds the same
Me: i know you are just so excited to be spending the rest of your life raising a family with a mildly retarded beauty like myself.
James: i wouldn't have given you a ring if i didn't want my children to be just as insane
The story of how I will never wear this dress to...
Now that the weather is summery, I’ve taken to wearing dresses to work. I’m limited to two dresses that are work appropriate, and having recently gained weight, one of them has been taken out of the running. I wore the remaining dress to work today. It’s a v-neck but i wore a camisole underneath to shield my chest from the ogling eyes of overage men who work in my office.
Today,...

On this, the day of my goddaughters' baptism....
Me: Just so you know, James and I have been making godfather movie jokes since you asked us and there are no signs of it slowing down.
Ellie's Mommy: Awesome. I want a "best of the godfather jokes" asap
Me: It was more like bad impressions while he was trying on his [new] suit. Also, after the ceremony, we want to take a picture of me kissing his "ring" finger while holding Ellie. To frame and put on our living room wall.
Ellie's Mommy: done.
Me: I have to say that I am INCREDIBLY flattered that you think so highly of us that you think we are responsible enough to be this close to Ellie's life. Above your other family, friends.
Ellie's Mommy: it's because you guys deserve it and we love you so much and you love our daughter so much.
