Okay- so I was having a little bit of a meltdown before "documentary movie night" worried that i may not be able to pull bulldog off the computer long enough to get a few sentences in for my blog posting challenge.
I thought I might have 49 pink cows today at my fabulous job. Note to self: if you are an excel guru, and you impress the socks off your boss during your first few Excel-challenges- he will think that there is NOTHING you can't do (or in this case REDO 5 times). Truth: Everyone at RAA is ridiculously busy- but NOT everyone is busy redo-ing things that were final 18 times.
Also- if people attending meetings would learn to follow instructions like deadline for hotel blocks, registration deadlines for head counts (helleaux- WHO WANTS TO HAVE NO FOOD AT THE END OF THE LINE- or worse, what if we run out of imported beer becuase YOU (x40) didn't let us know you were coming), and do it all with a smile- the world of association meetings would go much smoother. Thankfully, I work with awesome people who let me be a little crazy- and no one expects me to be superwoman either- plus, I love my job that I kind of enjoy the chaos.
We're watching a documentary (made by a guy bulldog was friends with growing up in upstate New York)- called Moving Midway - about a town in the south who is tearing down an old plantation- and the divide it causes between white and black residents. I'm looking forward to it even though my first response was "what does anyone from upstate New York know about race relations in the south"? Then I remembered that my best friend in the world is from upstate New York and he has never made a single presumption about me or Mississippi- so I'll give the documentary a chance.
Plus, since there is no chance Ole Miss will lose this weekend playing a junior college in Arizona, MSU is on a bye week, my jetsies are on a bye week, there is not even Yanks/philies baseball, nor college basketball to distract me- I thought I might as well learn something instead of aimlessly wandering through my weekend- though, i plan on working all day tomorrow building the NEW RAA website, and then spend Sunday working on my (not that important- but very needed) presentation to our Associate Member Council- who I call "my peeps" becuase these are the associate members (non-airlines) who make the planes, fix the planes, engineer greener more efficient planes, provide ground support to planes, train aviation professionals, etc- these are the the folks who make my job necessary- so I'm thrilled that I get to actually do a presentation about our plans for the next year- more than that, I'm thrilled that 12-15 executives from amazing companies care what I have to say. I spend a lot of time posting things about our airline members- but many times, the most colorful characters in our industry are the suppliers and manufacturers.
It's quite chilly out in DC tonight...it's a good thing that it's Gingerbread latte season.

Ft. Hood- Is War worth it?
I was extremely busy today- I didn't even know until I called Bulldog around 4:30 that anything horrible happened today. After a company wide town hall meeting where the financial situation seems pretty dire, resigning myself to paying extra for healthcare next year, and thinking big picture- I have a great job, and just because there will be no raise or no bonus does NOT measure the value of my work or my value to the company. I got more worked up about the announcement that a task force was formed to discuss the use of "out of office" messagees in Outlook. Corporate America can be funny. I feel valued though, and that's something I have the perspective to undertand doesn't always happen.
But no matter what anyone at the Smitty B feels about their job, none of us are Dr. Nadel crazy- none of us are so petrified of doing something that we feel like we need to go on a shooting spree. Perspective y'all.
but, a larger issue is whether or not the mental health of our soldiers can ever really be treatedZ? seeing horrible acts of war - a war that has NO clear goals and NO end in sight must seem futile for many. I never bought into George Bush's idea that somehow the folks in Iraq attacked America. It has been proven over and over- maybe the people who don't understand the definition of communism, or who thinks that Sarah Palin has foreign affairs experience are blind to this, but certainly EVEN if we were retaliating against Iraq- is the cost of war still worth it? Iraq is not going to attack America- I'm sorry world- it's just not going to happen- We're more likely to have poor people in America killing and keeping bodies of 11 people in their home or shooting their family...or 75 suicides at Ft. Hood in the past 5 years. Chris Matthews made a great point that folk sin WWII hardly talked about the war. (except for my Uncle Mike who loved to tell me about the battle of the Midway)- now, the pressure is to talk, talk, talk and now this horrible situation sheds light on the enormity of war. My heart just is so sad that anyone would destroy the lives of our brave men and women like this...
One year ago today, bulldog and I watched the election returns come in, i cried, we drove by the white house- the ENTIRE CITY was electric- people hugging, dancing in the street....I still can't believe the magic of Obama's election- it's sad that 1 year later, someone in service to America destroyed civility and the lives of so many people.

NaBloPoMo Day 4- Swirly Musings
If Yanni and Paula Deen had a baby- it would be biscuits and feta. Also, if you don't get home from work until 8, and you put your hot pink flannel PJs on for the first time of the year, wander into the kitchen, open the fridge and see maybe 8 things and start mentally arranging the options - that's also what you end up with. I have to say- me likie!
Had to kill a ginormous house centipede that clearly was preggers b/c the moment I sprayed it with raid and trapped it with a cup on my bedroom wall...it expelled a string of baby centipedes. G.R.O.S.S. Folks think Mississippi has strange critters- but here was have the creepiest crickets that look like aliens and these house centipedes that apparently are great for eating spiders, etc- but, I'm pretty great at killing spiders so I don't need nature's help. Really.
Today, our fabulous COO, Julie Silverstein (COO of "the company" SmithBucklin not of RAA) was our featured speaker at our monthly STAR meeting (okay, I admit- this was the first STAR meeting I've attended in the 18 months I've had the most fabulous job ever. But, Julie rocks- and she would be an amazing SNL character because she's very animated...and funny. Also, she (like the famous Diana Lundie) was once a coordinator at SmithBucklin- LIKE ME- so it's very inspiring to have someone leading your company who totally knows what it is like to do exactly what you do. The only downside- I learned she is a Yankees fan. In the grander concept- she believes that being a rabid sports fan actually is very healthy for the soul- a great way to escape everything else. Since she has lived in Chicago for eons- I was disappointed that she hasn't adopted the heart of a Cubs fan...Also, she never got a masters degree and doesn't see a Masters as a "must have" to be successful. She believes in intangibles- things that can't be taught- things that you learn and develop in the real world. That's a relief to me who sometimes worries that because I graduated from college early, and jumped into work and never got a masters that somehow I'm less valuable. Glad to know that it's a personal preference for many folks.
If anyone is interested, I really did plan to attend the GW Graduate School of Political Management- but in the 3rd year of my first job in DC when I was working for a successfuly political consulting firm- my boss asked me to make an outline and help him with a presentation - because he was going to guest lecture at the GSPM. Many of the guest lecturers I was working with anyway on a daily basis- I figured, i could save my money and just learn on the job. My only educational regret is not learning more statistical analysis or very high-end database management.
Oh, is there a baseball game on tonight?

NATIONAL BLOG POSTING MONTH- DAY 3-
I'm really really tired...but I'm trying to keep my promise to myself to blog everyday for a month- it's not as if I have nothign to say- it's that I'm a sleepy gal.
I met up with my cousin Mary Katherine tonight for supper- at the Dubliner- complete with an irish lad singing. On christmas eve each year, Aunt Katherine always makes Reuban sandwiches for mom, dad, aunt Kathleen, MK, Patrick, me and Uncle Harvey. Since Mary Katherine is always with her inlaws at Christmas now, we decided to have corned beef reubans tonight- since it's been years since we've enjoyed it during Christmas. That might not sound that exciting-and it certainly doesn't make much sense for a family in the middle of Mississippi to have something so unsouthern as corned beef- but I think part of the fun used to be what an accomplishment it was for Aunt Katherine to find corned beef..,and for many years, you had to drive 40 minutes or so to find a place that sold swiss cheese- so we always looked forward to it. do I sound like I'm 80 years old with this story? probably.
Bulldog pointed out that this weekend both MSU and the JETS have off weeks- and baseball (barring a hurricane or massive rain storm) will be over by the weekend so there will be absolutly NO fan opportunities for me. I guess it means I won't be moody- no chance for any of my teams to lose, but it's one of the ONLY weekends all year that I don't have some kind of "going to watch the game" plans. Hopefully, the .awf site will be ready and I can work on moving the entire RAA website this weekend. I feel like I just can't take anytime off until that is done. It's the most ambitious project I've ever worked on since I gave up doing the political thing in 2004- and we're doing a data audit at the same time, so I'm making lots of decisions with people who know nothing about our association- and today, I actually heard myself getting louder than usual and finally said "I don't think any of you can read my mind, so just tell me who I need to talk to about _______". Isn't that the MOST frustrating work relationship ever?
I forgot that today was election day. Does that make me a horrible person? I hope not- I don't believe that Virginia and NJ are representative samples of the rest of the country. Very few people are actually from Virginia- and Republicans in New Jersey are like the left wing of the Mississippi Democratic Party.

Philadelphia Newspaper The Philadelphia Inquirer Accidentally Hails Phillies As World Series Champions After Game 4 Loss - WPIX
Happy Monday everyone! My favorite time of year- baseball season may very well end tonight. Apparently, the awesome folks at the Philly Inquirer thought that it ended last night. There is a time machine in the bathroom.
Philadelphia Newspaper The Philadelphia Inquirer Accidentally Hails Phillies As World Series Champions After Game 4 Loss - WPIX
I've been listening to WFAN's Mike Francessa all afternoon- parlaying all the reasons the JETS suck and all the reasons why the NY Yankees are destiny's darling. Why do I listen to this crap? I might as well be listening to the Ole Miss campus radio station or something. He is just so biased and mean. He doesn't understand what it's like to be a fan. He thinks Mets and Jets fans are stupid and miserable. I mean- why would you ever be a fan of the 2nd class teams of NYC when you can take the easier route- Well, before I ever met my favorite ambassador from the state of NY, Bulldog, I hated the Yankees. Except for Yogi Berra who always gets a pass because he is 48 kinds of awesomeness!!!!!!
True, I haven't been a JETS fan forever- but I fell in love with the JETS after game 1...and Bulldog has educated and schooled me well in all the heartache and frustration and lost brain cells that ensues. Still, I was unable to NOT LOVE the J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!
Today, Mike Francessa was just horrendous- why would I want to STOP BEING A JETS FAN BECAUSE WE HAVE NO SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY MAKERS!???!? That's ridiculous....I've been a MSU Bulldog my entire life without a championship. I mean- REALLY- for some New Yorkers, winning is everything- it's the only thing- it's perfectly normal to believe that if you have the most money, you win. If you have the establishment, you win.
Fine. I'm not a New Yorker- but I would align the Jets & Mets with pretty much in line with all my other beliefs- try hard, do your best, love 'em even when it's tough, never give up, winning isn't everything, heart always beats bank accounts.
that being said- it's 103 days unti pitchers and catchers report. I can NOT wait.

Sundays and all that stuff
I'm trying the National Blog Posting Month thing because last year I failed miserably with the national novel writing month project- I think better in small doses I guess. Also, I have a lot to say and it's never really organized that well, so blogging is better.
Of course, if this was during baseball season, I would haven no problem rambling on with my musings. Now, it's the beginning of hibernation for me- the long, dreaded winter which I still don't like even after living here for almost a decade.
There is NO length requirement for daily blog posting that I can try and be more rockin' later this week.
In the meantime- I love my BULLDOGS, I want to throw a hotdog at the JETS special teams players, and as long as the Yankees and phillies series keeps going and I can watch both teams completely self-destruct in the process- I call it a WIN! I have a crazy busy week at work on the horizon- I'm the only one who does what I do per se at the office- sometimes, like this week, I wish I had a clone of myself.
Also- thinking about Thanksgiving- I'm hoping we do the peasants feast thing again this year- so I can go all Paula Deen on my friends again. I should start stocking up on butter now. Yiannis, I'm looking at you.
Y'all want some swirlywand awards?
Swirlywand JETS husband of the week: Mr. Braylon Edwards- for being exactly WHO I was afraid you wouldn't be and nothing like I was afraid you would be.
The "I really love you- and you'll be great one day- but stop spiking the ball" Award: MARK SANCHEZ. Hotdogs or not- we needed a win today. And though no one at the bar saw the illegal shift that kept the JETS 5 points down- it's your job to get in the endzone.
Best. Movie. Location. Ever Award: STATE OF PLAY for so prominently featuring Heller's Bakery and the Mount P! Even if it's not an El Savadoran neighborhood. lol

Football Season is in the air!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the METS playing only for pride, there were no distractions for me this coming weekend- like going to Philly for the Mets series...which means, I'm all football all the time- at least thru September. Now, some of y'all may remember that last year when MSU played Auburn, it was the worst sports disaster weekend ever for me- b/c we lost 3-2 in FOOTBALL to Auburn (i mean, really guys...), Brett Favre looked like CRAP in the JETS home opener (which we witnessed in person) against the Patriots, the Mets lost to the Braves in ridiculously awful fashion and thus were on their way to coughing up the division for the 2nd straight year. BUT, the kicker- and this is where I'm sure I'm the only person who was able to experience the sports disaster trifecta because as an Astros fan (they were just a game out of the wild card at this point), I thought we would at least END the Sunday drive back from NY by listening to the Astros game...but Hurricane Ike meant- they were playing IN MILWAUKEE (not a smart move b/c how can you expect players to play when their families are riding out a hurricane!- but anyway aside from being moody about that - they were in a pennant race for goodness sake)- against the Cubs (hello- home game for the Cubs) and NOT ONLY DID THE ASTROS LOSE - but they managed to lose in grand fashion- with Carlos Zambrano throwing a complete game NO-HITTER. So, by the time Bulldog dropped me off at my place on Sunday night...I was convinced that the combination of being a MSU, Jets, Mets, Astros fan was a psychological hazard.
SO- with that behind me!!!!!!
And with that being said, there is NO way that I can be disappointed by all 4 teams this weekend...this time, I'm hopeful that either the Bulldogs or Jets will make my heart smile. But I have a secret weapon too...I'm not expecting great things this year from either team- both with new head coaches, new approaches, and NEW players (helleaux- Mark Sanchez!). It's just the excitement of watching young players try and do something, anything...and I'm crossing my fingers that MSU will score more than 2 points this time- thus making anything an improvement. :-)
I'm picking the Jets to go 9-8, but just miss the playoffs. I'm picking the Patriots to win the division. That pains me to say...but, I'm realistic. At least this year, we have a quarterback..our own quarterback- not some semi-retired, egotistical, secretly injured, hard headed hall of fame quarterback who was 3 years older than our head coach. So, for better or worse- at least we have a work in progress...not a one and done mess.
I'm overly excited to watch the MSU vs Auburn game tomorrow night...with my baby cowbell safely seasoned from David Wade Stadium/Scott Field (whatever it's called now)...there are so many things to be proud of, and with all the attention on that other school to the north- very little pressure for MSU to be anything but average at best....and I embrace the underdog or in this case (the underbulldog!)....and I'm also learning patience! So, LET'S GO STATE! Play your hearts out....and uhm...give Dixon the ball.
Also, Fall has started to Fall upon us in our nation's capital. It's crisp, rainy, cool, and definately not flipflop weather anymore....I wasn't expecting this as I have all my long sleeve MSU shirts packed up somewhere- so that will be my project tonight. After being home with my parents for 2 weeks, I'm feeling like my apartment is too messy...my mom is "miss clean and neat and uncluttered"...I think it's a safe to blame my complete opposite behaviour on the fact that I'm adopted and thus, did not inherit the spic-n-span gene from my sweet mom. But, that's my other project tonight....also, packing up the baseball stuff and replacing it with with football stuff...
