Things I learned volunteering at Zoe’s Valentines party

Foam + pipe cleaner + glue = disaster. Foam + pipe cleaner + stapler = success. Elmer's Glue is attracted to cashmere. My favorite name is "Zoe's Mom." I don't respond well to "Hey hey hey hey hey hey." Time flies when you're making Heart People. Googly eyes go everywhere. I'm wholly unprepared to react to the statement, "Hey, Zoe's Mom, Zoe bit me." However, I think I was quite gracious upon hearing, "Hey, Zoe's Mom, I'm sorry I lied about Zoe biting me." And finally:Those teachers don't earn nearly enough. Not nearly enough. I have to go back to work now. And I'm flat-out exhausted. Holy shit.

FroYo at Red Mango

Found a new treat tonight in downtown Kirkwood. Best of all: it's guilt-free. YUM. (The Racanelli's pizza for dinner, unfortunately, had pepperoni, mushrooms, and a healthy dose of guilt.)

This is the way to travel

Walked out of security to find Robert waiting with a sign bearing my company's logo. He grabbed both my bags and led me 10 feet out the door to a running (ie warm!) black Lincoln Continental with leather seats and tinted windows. OMG. I could get used to this. I mean, really. Plane to highway in 5 minutes, riding in luxury to the corporate offices 35 minutes away? Yeah, this is why I went back to school for an MBA. This morning almost makes up for 2 years of hell. Almost.

Frozen tundra

Or something like that. STL to MCI, same as last week. Quick overnighter this time, though. Driver picking me up at the airport and delivering me to the office in Lenexa. A girl could get used this. Too preoccupied with work these days to blog much. All good stuff, even if it's taking awhile to sort out. Hopefully it'll be locked down in the next couple weeks. Meanwhile, I'm having an absolute blast with my new responsibilities. Northing much else to report. I'm tired of the stupid cold, but who isn't? Spring seems too far away.

Oasis

Z-O-U!!!On another note: They really oughtta put a sign out there that says, "Welcome to the KC airport. Get your coffee now because there ain't shit behind security."I can see the Starbucks. I just can't get to the Starbucks. Fruit cup, OJ, and a granola bar I brought from home are gonna have to suffice, as the only places back here behind security are a Quizno's and a Bud Light kiosk. Really? WTF?!
