happy friday to me

Today is my Friday, tomorrow I'm taking the day off in honor of taking {and completing} the NCIDQ. Weekend trip to the Florida panhandle here I come!

In other weekly news, my Pamela came to visit!! The rules are eat good food, laugh, share clothes, and stay up late when she's in town. We abide by them wholeheartedly. Pamela is a bigshot accountant in Tampa for Ernst & Young {quality in everything we do} and often travels to my neck of the woods for recruiting events. It's these recruiting events I speak of that I have always been so intrigued by. In college, they wined and dine potential employees like it was going out of style as I, the lowly interior design major, stayed back at the sorority house jealous of the rare and eager recruiting style of the accounting world. But as a good thoughtful friend, Pamela would always bring me back a gift. There's nothing like collecting accounting firm paraphernalia. I got so many lame, I mean cool, gifts in my college years. So it made me feel better - made me feel like they wanted me too. Now since Pamela often works the recruiting circuit she still gives me silly gifts! I also liked/still like to throw out accounting jargon in front of my accounting friends. They realize my need for acceptance in the big scary financial world :)

I love when E&Y comes to town:

everyone needs an e&y hacky sack

MAN! I missed out on PUMPKIN?? I think I would have ordered the second one. I'd like for you to describe it to me. :) It looks so tasty!
Can't wait for this weekend!

Puff - my time in Tally with you was as always absolutely delightful! I had so much fun, and E&Y will hopefully be coming to town again soon :-)
