After work I went and got a reflexology massage. It was a pretty great price. An hour for $35! The only complaint I have is that people were fixing the roof so sometimes it was too loud but I was still relaxed to where I dozed off. There are a few more places I want to try out as there are a lot!

This morning I saw that there was free delivery fee for Tiff’s Treats. Since Sissy and BIL are having wine tasting tonight I decided to ship her some. I got a Tiffblitz for myself since I’ve always wanted to try it. It is vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip and brownie bits inside. Crumbled cookies are drizzled on top. It was surprisingly delicious but it’s also probably because I was hungry.

Wine tasting kicked off with Sissy’s old high school friends and their significant others along with a dude who was solo.

After going through five tastings we announced the winner. And it was ME! I ended up winning a prize and since then we’ve been talking about random things and just hanging out.

I’m ready to head home to bed but also too lazy to drive just yet. Tomorrow’s going to be amazing. First Houston Restaurant Week for the year. Esp!

Delisha was sweet enough to bring me lunch today. Her homemade chicken and pasta type dish. It was very delicious and was so freaking full afterward. Perfection.

I had lunch with Juhi, Christopher, and Amelia outside. The weather was so perfect as long as we were in the shade. It was nice to get away from the desk and to get some vitamin c as well.

There was a three-week Salesforce competition and I was one of the winners! I got an Astro stuffed animal along with some stickers of Astro wearing our company’s logo.

I also got a Salesforce branded Thumpah™ Water Resistant Bluetooth Speaker by Origaudio. I looked it up and it’s expensive. Click here to see more specs. I wonder how much it costs to get the Salesforce logo printed on there. The speaker itself is pretty amazing. Fast connectivity, 3 sound adjustment mode (standard, more base, more treble), clear, quality sound even when I’m far away. I wish they made a case for it. It would be perfect if they had that as well.

It’s almost the weekend. Super busy but excited I get to see so many people lately.

A couple of weeks ago, as I was leaving work, I saw a familiar face walking towards the car park. I had to look her up to see if what I saw was real. I reached out to her and we set up a lunch date for today. Another reunion with an old college friend whom I haven’t seen in over 10 years.

It’s crazy how big the world is but also how small it can be sometimes. We caught up as much as we could cram in a one-hour time frame. She’s a lawyer now, recent newlywed, and just moved back from DC and works at the same campus as me!

I’ve always been hesitant to reach out to others or ask them to hang out because I always fear I’m bothering them. Or if they say no or ignore me enough times, I’ll stop reaching out. I told her about my hesitance and she said she was grateful I reached out because if she’d seen me, she would have too.

I’m not sure where this reunion will take us but it’s always nice to be able to start up right where we left off.

A busy morning resulted in less than thirty minutes to say goodbye to Lia. She’s going off on maternity leave but even after the leave is over, she’s quitting to do life with her husband and newborn for his fellowship. I enjoyed some delicious froyo and Michael who used to be on her team stayed and caught up with us as well.

After a couple of more meetings I headed off to practice my speech with the team. Nerves and all, we walked into the competition room and grabbed our lunches. We sat through two presentations before ours. We did horribly but we pushed through and listened to one last presentation before they were announcing the winners.

Although our team didn’t win, I won a door raffle prize of a cap. I don’t have a picture because then you’ll know where I work if you Google it. I’m glad I took home some prize rather than nothing at all. It was a different experience than I thought and I doubt I’d do another one in the future. I might just attend as a guest though.

Off to relax before another busy day tomorrow. Night, world!

Work went swimmingly well. The nerd in me was excited to make flow charts all day today and not have to really worry about other things.

After work I stopped by and picked up some cookies for Mallory as a suprised. She made a very delicious spaghetti casserole and although it’s not the healthiest, it’s pretty damn delicious.

Afterward we played the Switch then watched Big Brother. She has a strong love for reality television and it’s been years since I’ve watched this show.

I’m off tomorrow but will be working a little bit in the morning. Then it’s a jam packed weekend. I’m happy to be seeing so many individuals but know I will need downtime to recharge.

I’m ready for cuddles with Rizzo and bedtime. Night, world!
