Things that make me say "Yeeeee!" and also "Dang."
Today was supposed to be my first ever day of training someone at work. They tend not to have part-timers train because of scheduling hoo-ha. But the chick I'm supposed to train on customer service stuff (a bit more advanced than just order taking), called in sick. Frown and Fie! I do so love talking Customer Service philosophy.
In 1998, I bought a dress to wear to my 10-year High School reunion. Then I didn't go. I wore the dress to my 28th birthday party, and again a few years later for Halloween. A few years later, I was going to wear it again, but it no longer fit. Saddened, I put it in the back of the closet and forgot about it.
Yesterday, while complaining to H that I had nothing to wear to the Vampire Ball, I remembered that I had it. For no reason at all, I tried to on to verify that it didn't fit. Guess what? It fit!!! Since I haven't gotten on the scale in about 6 months, I have no idea why the dress now fits when before it didn't. It's a bit short, so I'm getting some cool feetless tights to go with. They are kind of expensive, but cool clothes in my size often are. I figure I haven't spent any money on Halloween since the Madstone closed (2004) so I feel okay about picking up a pair of tights and some decent fangs.
Slow going on the poetry front. You'd think with all this mania I've got going on that I'd be writing angry poems from here to next week! I'll get there though. But it may end up being like, 1/3 Haiku. I'm thinking that even if I only come up with 30-50 poems in that amount of time (100 days) that combined with some of my short stories, I may have the makings of another publishable work. We shall see.

I didn't have the guts to attend any of my class reunions. I guess if somebody reconnects with their classmates on Facebook, then that would make it less scary than going to a reunion totally cold. I haven't even friended any high school classmates on Facebook and nobody has friended me.
