When I Get Tired, I Lose My Filter

Posted By on September 23, 2010

People, I’m tired. I’m confused as to what day it is, where I am and what on Earth is going on.

Last weekend I drove up to Madison with my friend Jess to go see ASU play the Wisconsin Badgers. We were meeting my friend Julie and her husband a bunch of his family, and my friend Amanda, who was driving in from Milwaukee. The weekend was a blast and it was so nice to hang out with everyone and watch my Sun Devils almost beat the 11th ranked team in the country.

And we represented well, horns and all.

.

After getting back from Wisconsin and spending Sunday afternoon (and evening) in the bar with the cutie bartender, I was off to New Orleans for work. It was a very long three days, but fun. And I got to eat beignets, so there’s really not a bad thing about that.

But I got back Wednesday night at 9 PM and was back at work today. And apparently I thought I was still in New Orleans, out on Bourbon Street, most of the day at work. Case in point:

Me: *sneeze*

My cubemate, after a five second delay: “Bless you. Sorry, I was swallowing.”

Me, in a really loud voice: “That’s what she said.”

So now I’m off to bed. Because I think tomorrow is Friday and I have to go to work. But for all I know, it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow and I’m in Helena, Montana.

It’s been that kind of week.

    I’m glad I’m not the only thirty-something woman who can appreciate a good “That’s what she said” joke.

    Beignets – I’m so jealous! But probably more jealous of the hurricanes I’m assuming you also had?

    Can’t wait to see you soon!

    Here is where I confess that I have no idea what a beignet is. Is it an American thing?
