Seed spittin'

The place I'm working at has an employee lunch each month. Today, for this month's lunch activity they grilled burgers and hot dogs for a picnic lunch outside. I got the joy of filling up water balloons. After lunch they had a water balloon toss and the winning team got a package of fireworks. Then they had a watermelon seed spitting contest! Fireworks for the winner. It was hilarious to see half the people get up there and spit watermelon seeds off the loading dock! It was also really fun to see the water balloon fight that erupted after lunch. Suits as well as shop workers were getting it. My supervisor, the CFO, made a basket with the tail of her shirt and filled it with balloons so she could chase people down. I just laughed as I tried to picture my Neil Kelly friends doing the same. I can't imagine Tom Kelly standing off to the side watching this raging water balloon fight and spitting watermelon seeds. :) What I wouldn't give to see Tom and Julia the HR manager and my old boss Lisa spitting watermelon seeds!!!! Oh, all the while, the guy who was in charge of the grill pulled his car around and had the country music blasting!

Jordan has been keeping occupied. She has decided that since we don't know where the local library is, she's going to treat Borders like it's the library. She has been riding her bike over there and then hanging out reading a book. She finished one after two visits. Jordan has an objection to the overpriced hardback book and will wait a painfully long time for it to come out in paperback. With her new system, she gets to read it right away and then she can buy it later when it comes out in paperback. Plus, she's getting good exercise on her bike. It's a win/win situation - except for Borders. :) Besides, Jordan is convinced there is an evil lady employee who walks by, frequently, glaring at Jordan and making her feel like a thief as she sits quietly, minding her own business, enjoying a good book. Maybe the lady thinks that two hours sitting reading and not making a purchase is highly suspect. Next week she is going to ride a little farther and try out her new bookstore library system at Barnes and Noble.

Jordan is getting sick so is whining at me to make her popcorn. The kernels are speaking to her and she's whining at me so to shut them both up and get some peace I'm going to oblige her craving. Queen of the kernels!
