Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

For a minute I didn't know why I'd titled my blog that particular lyric. Then I remembered, my boss is out sick today. Kathy is a great boss to work for. She's funny and really sweet. She feels like a sister to me. I know it's not the most professional policy to become personally attached to someone at work but I don't think I'll ever meet someone Kathy cannot get along with. She's just one of those people. She is this office's ray of sunshine.

Well, right now she's a sick ray of sunshine. Thus, why I'm in her office.

I'm helping my best friend since middle school pick out bridesmaid dresses. I'm not little. I'm not huge either but I am a solid 16. It's kinda hard to help your friend plan a wedding from 2 states away. I've spent some time trying to find a bridesmaid dress that won't make everyone look 2 sizes larger than they actually are.

It's funny seeing pictures of dresses on a "Plus Size" site of these tiny little women wearing these gorgeous dresses. You'd think on a plus size site you'd see the dresses modeled for their intended demographic - plus sized women. No such luck, though, so I've had to imagine what they'd look like on my body. Not a pretty picture, folks.

Still, I sent her 10 options I think will be nice. 4 even that I'm really fond of. I don't know who all is in the wedding party but I guess it doesn't matter. I don't even care if I get stuck in some God awful monstrosity that makes me look like a whale. This is her day and if she wants it, she wants it. It's my duty to comply. It's also my duty to throw her a bachelorette party. Maybe I'll go with her to Vegas and we can celebrate together. Get drunk, hit a strip club, something. I dunno.

Today has been nice and easy. I only have one agent in so that makes things especially good for the lack of pressure. Lots of data entry and very little on the "OMG DO IT NOW" stuff.

What to make for dinner, though? Cheesy mack and Chicken with broccoli? Sounds like a plan to me. Or maybe Keilbasa and rice.Decisions, decisions.

Day 7 - 358 to Go.
