My Happy Friday

Yellow folks! Since I was out last week I’ll do a quick recap of the “goodness” from last week for you folks who just have to know!

First please do me a favor and look at this picture. Adrian insists that you actually care about him getting a 10.0 on a Wii game that came out last year.

Charlie answered my call for an e-mail, but Maribel didn’t. Are you ignoring me or did you not get this?

My other mother, Kim, checked in and sent me some pictures of my little sisters. They are growing up nicely. Keep those coming!

For those of you who ever checked the profile section of this blog, I discontinued it. There are just too many of you to keep track of to update that thing. Sorry!

I talked to one of my TOP 5 HR friends of all time, Caroline S. She recorded her 100^th blog post recently and she also had a cutie baby Ari Milo. He is too cool for school with his blog. I’m going to have to catch up on his life!

Mitzi is back to work! That’s means you are all better! Yes!

In response to the pain in my finger last week, Lisa C. told me, “Like my mom would say, just slam your other ones in a door and you won’t know the difference.”

Quote of the week goes to J. Rock again! “Omar – you are the bomb. J” How could you not love her?

My translation friend, Rebecca B, had a baby, Arya, which was the second surprise from her. I recall being shocked she got married. J

Bob M. sent me this cool video. After I told the guys at the office what I got Rachel for our anniversary they said that would be me. Turns out she loved it like I said.

Ok. That’s the recap. On to the good stuff. So I have to thank those of you who sent me e-mails and left comments on the blog about our anniversary. You can see some of them here.

I have to mention Jessica again. I love her! She is always “on point.” She sends me a comment like, “Omar you should get married in Vegas.” It was funny because we actually did get married that morning. Yes, I actually did just say that. HAHA.

Now before you folks get mad let me explain. Rachel wanted to get married sooner rather than later so we did! There were like five people there, two moms, two grands and her brother, and it lasted no longer than five minutes. I know I told a bunch of you, you’d be invited. You still are! We’ll have a nice big reception next year on the fifth of December!

And I know how you guys are. Keep the gifts to yourselves until next year. J

Anyway, Rachel got us these matching sweat suites that said “I Finally Did It” on the back with our names on the front. We received a bunch of comments, but here are the best two.

Some Random Guy: What did you finally do?
Rachel: We got married.
Guy: Oh congratulations!
Us: Thank you!
Pause
Guy: Mumbles I’ll never do that sh!t again!
Us: LOL!

Some Random Guy 2: I love you alls jackets!
Us: Oh thank you!
Guy 2: Next time I do it I’ll get jackets that say I did it again!

Us: LOL!

Here are some quick highlights from Vegas.

We stayed in the Bellagio. (Lisa G., I know you thought that trip was a crazy gift from Rachel’s mom, now I think you understand?)

We saw the Cirque Du Soleil: Ka.

We saw Steve Wyrick the magician.

We ate a Brazilian rodizio lunch!

The winter baseball meetings were at our hotel and I saw Yankee manager Joe Girardi.

I played blackjack with members of the Boston sports media.

I won $125.

Trip over.

I’m still pretty tired from getting in at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, the time change and going right back to work so forgive me for being a jerk if I happen to be! LOL.

Good bye!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
