Farewell Carpenter!

After 8 years, it is time to move on from Carpenter. I transferred to the aquatics department of the Tom Muehlenbeck Center on 3/29/10. My fav coworkers threw me a party at the Texas Roadhouse in The Colony. The service of the Texas Roadhouse sucked and they ended up giving us all coupons for free meals. But that doesn’t matter to me. I had a great time hanging out with my work fam one more time. John Finley made me a “1st Aid Kit” full of stuff to remind me of Carpenter: English Muffins, crosswords, peanut butter, and toothpaste. And a nugget of poop for something to look forward to at the pool. Just kidding, it was Baby Ruth. Yummy!

I am very sad to leave. I always said that just seeing Jodi and Sandy was the best part of my day. John’s little songs, like “We’re having a heat wave” and “…Walked into Carpenter and lost my mind” still play in my head. I will miss Patrick spending a whole day throwing a racquetball through the hole in the wall. Thursdays won’t be the same without Super, Steve, and Bryan. And, more than I care to admit, Cindy taught me everything I know about Plano (well, almost). I feel like my friends there have been through so much with me. They helped me up when I have been beaten down, laughed with me, and celebrated milestones with me. Even if we lose touch somehow, I will never forget you all.

Steve and Bryan make my Thursdays pervy.

Crosswords!

Peanut Butter for my sandwhich.

Poop!

Yummy!

The Crew.

Gotta love them!

Sandy says, "Deuces!"

I made a crossword as a farewell gift. This is the easy one.

This one is harder. It included everyone I have worked with at Carpenter except for one person. Who is it?

Dorian's 30th B-Day!

We celebrated Dorian's birthday at his favorite restaurant, Olive Garden in Addison. Dorian actually got there early to get a table. Maybe his old age is making him want to eat earlier in the day. The food was great like usual. I got the spaghetti and meat sauce. But I really just ate the salad and breadsticks. The spaghetti will be today's lunch! David, Sandy, Gordon, and I got Dorian an iTunes gift card. Steve got him some pink sweat bands. And he got a plethora of cards. Good times!

Coffy's Big B-Day Bash

Coffy had another wonderful birthday bash this year! A whole bunch of us gathered at Pappadeaux's in Richardson. We could tell the waiters hated us from the get go. Who wouldn't? There was like 30 of us! I busted out the camera early. Everyone acted like they didn't want their picture taken, but you know they did. David and I split the salmon. It was very good, but I could have used some rice to go with it. Coffy opened her gifts. Jodi got her a gag gift of a really ugly purse. Her really gift was an Ulta gift card. After dinner, we went to the Nylo Hotel lounge. We rented a little seating area and had our own waitress. The atmosphere was fun. I didn't quite care for the music or the volume, but I enjoyed it anyway. Everyone was dancing and drinking and having a great time. We stayed until it closed. Then Jayme, Bryan, Dorian, and I went to IHOP. It took us so long to get breakfast. It was cold in there and I was tired. I fell asleep at the table. Dorian took me home around 4 AM. I haven't been out that late in forever!! Let's see if Coffy can top this year at her next party. She better start planning now!

Smile Stephanie!
