it’s just a thankful morning to not be at work…

Have I told you people how much I love you? You know who you are.. you people. When I get to thinking about it, I get all vaklempt.

I’ll start with the cheeseposse, who when we get together, they just make me cry cuz I’m so happy. These are the best bunch of girls on the planet. I’m lucky enough to work with one of them all day, so we can sort of keep each other sane on the job. Another one I’m lucky enough to LIVE with.. and let me tell you how she rocks. When I dragged ass out of bed today at 11ish, she had already got up and cleaned the kitchen and taken out all the trash. She does that.. like spontaneously, and that’s not even the best thing about her! Then there’s the sexiest-rock-mamacita I know, who I don’t get to see too often, but whenever I do, she’s had good times fun to relate and always cracks me up. These are the best friends a girl could have.

Then you can’t leave out best friend number one, who didn’t get that status thru length of friendship alone. He was sweet enough to insist I let him pay my way to con. It’s also cute to see him get so excited of stuff at con, and I guess it just makes me happy to see him having an obviously good time since he’s been so bummed lately about work.

Then of course, there’s my super sweetie man, who kills me with his off hand remarks about how many men I can pick up in my con outfits while he’s out of town, loves hearing stories about my citation from the Perv Patrol, and then has a 6th sense about when to get online late at night to just chat me and say hello. He sounds like he’s having so much fun on his family/motorcycle trip that I wish I was there, but well, I realize that time away from me is probably a nice break for him, too. I’ve been crazy in-love girl lately, and I’m really not sure why. I keep thinking I’m going to scare him off (shyeah, after all this time like I can do something to scare him off), but he’s still around. Still smiling at my goofiness, and doing his best to give me more reasons to be crazy about him.

Then, of course, we can’t forget the little people… well, not really little, but I have to say that at this point in my life I’m feeling pretty good to have a nice group of regular lunch/work buddies willing to kick ass and have their ass kicked at foosball on a regular basis. Outstanding leader of this work buddy bunch is definitely Billy, who makes it a joy to be in his company frequently outside of work. He’s always fun, he’s always kind (see making sure Stacy got a taxi, had fare, etc), and simply a friend of the best caliber.

You know who all you other people are.. the ones I don’t see very often anymore, and have to be content with the vicarious sharing of your lives thru your LJ. I feel lucky to have you all, too.

Anyway… feeling vaklempt again. Go talk amongst yourselves.
