Roll Call
Is anyone else as unfortunate as me to be at work today? I'm in the office and we're headed out of town after work. I fear this will be a long day if no one is around to keep me company!
Re: Roll Call
Present.
I'm here all day.
Present, but not at (paid) work.

It still counts
This for me too!
That happens occassionally here too! *fingers crossed*
That would be awesome. I know no one will come tell me that, but if the boss is out this afternoon and my H can get out early, too then we'll see.
They're actually not going to be here until Sunday. They're spending today and tomorrow in Chicago because they had to drop some furniture off for my brother.
I think I have a plan. We're going to have some people over on Sunday for a little BBQ. Then on the Fourth, I think we're going to go to Grand Haven in the morning and spend a few hours there. Then we'll go downtown GR in the evening, maybe catch the parade, but definitely do the fireworks.
The next thing I need to do is figure out food.
That sounds really nice. And it's cool that you get some time during the first half of the weekend to prepare for their visit.
Yeah, that really helps. Usually before company arrives for the weekend, I'm spending Thursday evenings frantically buying groceries, making food, and cleaning my house.
I do the same thing!
I'm doing the same thing. (Actually, including hosting and trying to convince my ILs to go to the GR fireworks on the 4th.)
Yup, that is what I am doing today! Fun.
I'm loving it too. I feel like her style is very accessible, which is nice.
And, honestly, I melt a little each time they show a picture of the Duke and Duchess together.
I love how happy the Duke looks with her. To me, that is just so beautiful.
Her style is accessible, and while I like it, I almost think it is a bit too accessible. I like it when celebrities are a bit more fashion forward. I know the comparisons abound and probably get very old, but I think Diana was a bit more risky in her fashion choices and I liked that. So far, it's hard to imagine any of Kate's wardrobe choices being truly *iconic*.
She really seems to embrace her "common" roots, though, and seems to want to continue that lifestyle as much as possible given the circumstances -- living on their own without servants and whatnot. Her style seems to reflect that. But, I think it may very well evolve and she'll become a little more daring with her choices.
Did you ever see this picture, that circulated the Internet? It's cute.
I did see the pictures from Cinderella. So cute! I do like that she still does her own shopping and won't accept free items from designers (although I'm not sure if that's because of ethical rules or a personal preference). They definitely seem as normal as can be and that's cool. I agree that it will be interesting to see how her style evolves over time.
I have two big vents:
First, I am working on a project for a customer that drives me CRAZY! Everything he gives me is in chaos and so time consuming. I need to make some labels for him and some of the stuff is reprints of labels that I've already made and some of it is stuff that is totally new labels, but it's not organized that way. So I need to sort through it all to figure out I just need to reprint and what I need to create from scratch. Nothing ever has part numbers either, so there's that as well.
Secondly, I sent over a huge expense report earlier this week to my boss. It's still not signed. I am horrible at communicating with him, particularly on the topic of expense reports. Ugh.
Unorganized people are so difficult to work with. It sucks.
Hope you get a sign-off on your expense report very soon!
