TGIF...Kinda

To say it's been an interesting week would be a total underestimate. Let's see..where do I begin?

Well, the good stuff first...I found out that I am one of three people in my entire company who will find out next Wednesday if they are the winner of a 2009 Mini Cooper Convertible. That was cool. Although, I am a little unsure of how the final decision shakes down....are they going to make me play some "Price Is Right" Style Game in front of the CEO of Regions? Dear Lord, please say no. I am praying they just make me pick a key and see if it fits the ignition. That's more my speed...except I run the risk of setting off the car alarm or turning on the wipers...on second thought, maybe I'll take the game.

The second most exciting part of my week....Mexicans!! They are everywhere in my world right now....clearing brush, paintng the interior and exterior of the "other" house ( it's like our ugly stepchild....but not anymore!!, and doing other odd jobs as needed. It's been intriguing to say the least- especially our trip to Home Depot last night with their translator. No really, it happened, and I was there in the midst, using my limited Spanish vocabulary to interject as I felt necessary. It was all good 'til I started dropping in some French here and there and well, it just went from bad to worse. Six people in a Home Depot speaking three languages about five buckets of paint can get pretty damn confusing.

But now it's Friday, thank God, and I have the whole weekend to relax. Not.
