Give me a "P"

Had a nice dinner this evening with my PW friends. We have been a "group" going on 13 years now. We talked tonight how we have really grown up together and how our friendship is one of the healthiest things in our chaotic worlds right now.

We have come a long way from when we were labeled "the cheerleaders" at work way back in 1994 by a disgruntled co-worker. At the time, all of us found the nickname rather insulting, except Nikki because she really was a hockey cheerleader - Go Falcons!

After the cheerleaders, we moved on to the title, "part-time friends" because we saw one another at work everyday and had a life outside of the George Jetson looking building we worked at where we hung out with our "full-time friends".

Eventually we ended up with the Piggly Wigglys during a weekend getaway after meeting a bunch of ladies who too met at work in about 1959 at the Piggly Wiggly. Our husbands don't really think much of the name, but we really don't care. The name is unique, like us. I mean do you know of any other group of friends named after an antiquated grocery store? The Red Owls or the Hy-Vees just don't have the same ring.

So thank you my friends for many good laughs, honest feedback and as we always say, not judging one another about anything...

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b...

JG's in love

Remember that song Chuck E.'s in Love? I think it was by Rickie Lee Jones. Well, I have been singing that little tune in my head this afternoon. Evidently JG is smitten in a big way. I guess today at pre-school he went up and declared his undying love to Paige, a very cute blond with a bob. My friend Jeremie was picking up the boys and told me JG went up to Paige and told her he was going to marry her. I don't know what Paige's response was to his proposal, but when the boys were riding home Jeremie asked JG why he liked Paige. JG responded, "Because she is so beautiful."

I am breaking up with...

my hair salon... A girl has a very special relationship with her hair salon. I have been "with" mine for nearly eight years, however have hit the tipping point thanks to a little reality show called "Split Ends". The owner of my salon was a participant on the show and swapped places with a stylist in Goodyear, AZ. After watching her little tirade on YouTube I am done. I am completely shocked, embarrassed, and angry I have handed over my money to this woman. She has always been affected, but this is ridiculous. She rips on the AZ salon for being in a strip mall - news flash - her salon is in a strip mall. Plus I have consistently seen women of all shapes and sizes, wearing all types of clothing throughout the years. Don't get me wrong I LOVE THE WOMAN WHO DOES MY HAIR (who is not this woman on the video) and am completely sad that we have come to this, however I cannot step foot in there again. I think I am going to call tomorrow and tell her what I really thin...
