Pibble. Swag. Owls. Horses. Falafels & Origami. [Oh My!]

I woke up to this [on my phone] today:

hiiiiiiii, meatball! [aka, stella] ♥

I miss my dog :(. Rob said she spends the majority of the morning "talking," which sounds about right, before she and Stella hit the kennels for the day. Aww, the meatballs...


It looked like our day at work was going to be much more hectic than it actually turned out to be... which was probably good since we were itching to take a second and explore the latest box of logo'd swag from our corporate office.

express.. keepin' it classy ;)

Yes, that's right, the glasses and the mustaches on sticks have our company logo on them. Welcome to the power of brand repetition. We. Logo. EVERYthing. Haha. Elisa and I had some fun... wonder what they'll send us next? 

Becky texted me midday to see if I had plans after work. I figured it wouldn't kill me to push off the personal trainer one more day, so that I could get down there and pick her up from the airport. She sent me these drom her layover... it's like my friends know what kinda goofy stuff makes me smile? 

owls everywhere. i love it.... (:

Cute. So yeah, it was off to CVG for the second time in a week's time. From there it was dinner time, and surprisingly enough, we came to a decision without defaulting to the Comet. Good call, too, on Becky's part - we found ourselves at Andy's Mediterranean Grille over off Nassau, a place I'd not been since probably my sophomore year in college.

samosas. pita. falafel. shish tawook! yummmm.... | andy's | cinci, oh

GOOD CALL!
I made an itty bitty box out of the napkin wrapper while we were at dinner, but the remaining square was juuuust a little too small to fashion the horse I wanted to go with it. When I got home though? Different story. Haha.


horsigami! ;)

Ahhh. Good stuff. Haha. It's getting late, and I've just caught up with Becky and her New York adventure [& some amaaazing pictures!]; it's time to get some sleep and get ready for tomorrow.

Enterprise Fail

It's almost Friday.

.......... ALMOST.

Tomorrow, I'm headed to Illinois to see three specific people: Dawne, Rob & Ali. Sydni and I are heading out right after work tomorrow, westward bound for the weekend. That being the case, I thought it would be fitting to rent a car, to avoid tacking on mileage to mine, etc. Cheap, halfway convenient, seemingly easy to do so.

"Yyyyyeah right!" said Enterprise.

Let's rewind to the part of the evening that didn't make me want to strangle the twerpish CSR at Enterprise. (:

I headed out to Milford to get Sydni, stop by the storage unit, and then downtown to Catie & Andy's. Catie had dinner ready, because she is an amazing chef and an even better friend. While Sydni did enjoy the dinner, she was moreso enthralled with Charlie and Callie [the cats...] and wasted no time digging out toys to play with them. I'm not sure who had a tougher time.. Syd, or Charlie. Apparently Charlie deserved every bit of obnoxious energy Syd had to offer.. haha.


"KITTY CAT! KIIIIITTTTYYYYY CAAAAAAT......"

Haha. Thanks again to my hilarious, helpful friend Catie for dinner, aaaand for accompanying me on what turned out to be a useless, time-wasted trip to the Enterprise at CVG.

Long story short, I did not opt to pay an arm and a leg's worth of security deposit and have my credit checked as a result of bringing only a debit card as opposed to an actual credit card. Sure, I get it, that's a policy on probably page 3 of 8 of that 6pt-font service agreement, but the weird thing is, I wasn't bothered nearly as much by my oversight than I was by the pompous individual who serviced us. I have a decent tolerance for rude people, but there's a limit, and I have to say I think even I would've been embarrassed to have to work with someone like that. *Sigh. To each his own.

The good news is, we have a car, and we'll just take that instead. (:
Anywho, we're back in Northside now and ready for bed. It'll be our first jaunt from here to Milford in the morning, so I'm crossing my fingers that doesn't cost me two hours to get there and back. I doubt it, but who knows.

I don't really care, because this time tomorrow night, well... I'll be in Illinois gearing for a couple of days with some of my other favorite people. Life is good.

G'Nite, blogbots!
