Day 2: What I wore today.

Even though today is yesterday and yesterday is today...or I just need sleep between jobs to break up the days...I did day 2 today also...cause there were two separate days in there somewhere.

What I wore today.

Again, I'm in my office, trying to figure out how to do what I wore today...I decide I'm going to start with the shoes. Classic black and white Chucks. Some of my favorite shoes. Comfortable and they go with everything. Or I make them go with everything.


But then, the boys want to get in on the action...just because they want to show off their swagg. So, What I Wore Today turns into What WE Wore Today

into

Alright. You're in. What are you wearing today?


Nike makes a lot of money off these guys.

As far as my outfit?

The Chucks.
Jeans from the Gap (no, these are not THE jeans)
Tank top from Target
and the ever-present zip up hoodie...this one happens to be from Nike. I have to fit in somehow.



But then, I got home from work and put this on:





Sweatpants that are 3 sizes too big and a tank top I could paint in.



The guys wanted to make sure you saw the one accessory they are never without.

Day 1: Self Portrait

Here goes the 30 Day Photo Challenge. Day 1. A self portrait.

Easy enough. I've taken enough euro-shots (what my friends call self-takes) over the years, but this time, it'll just be me. No problem.

Except, I forgot to take the picture. All day long I had. Just never had the camera when I was thinking about it.

Luckily for me, I work overnights...so my days just run together. So, today is just like yesterday. I took my self portrait yesterday...or today. Or something.

Still, an easy picture. I walked into my office to take a quick picture between breakfast and leaving for our "Free Monday" trip thingy. I also knew that this would take more than one shot.

Take one:


Mmmmm....yeah. ( For the record...that pineapple was excellent...we snuck it into the movies today. Delicious)

Take tw....knock, knock...
Miss Tiff, how was your weekend?
Miss Tiff, can I have....
Miss Tiff, gimme some of your grapes...I ain't never had those before
Tiff, can you print off the....

Take two:


Wait, how did he get in there?

Self-portait, take three:


And then I realized...these guys that are always around, hanging out in my office, just cause they like me...they're a part of who I am. A part of my self. They belong in my self portrait as a representation of the kids who make up a part of who I am.
Ok, seriously....where does he come from?


and that is all. Day one.

Decisions, decisions...

So, last night, as I was working overnight at 24 Hour Fitness, I was having a conversation with one of the night cleaners. a short little Hispanic guy, probably around 35. This isn't out of the ordinary, I talk with him each night I work. He is trying to learn English (well, more English) and has been trying to get me to speak Spanish along the way. He seems nice enough from these conversations, however, last night, the conversation took a turn for the weird. At first he was telling me how he was going to Mexico in the fall (well, some place in Mexico...he only told me Mexico after I asked 2 or 3 times). I asked how long he was going to be there for and he replied "tres anos" Just to make sure, I asked (in English), 3 YEARS? "Si" So, I asked why. "Vacation" I said, wow, vacation for 3 years?!?! That's a long time. He replied "Do you want to come with me?" and just to be sure, repeated it in Spanish "Quieres venir conmigo?" I laughed, sure he was joking. And so we moved on to other topics...meaning he asked if I have a boyfriend and why I don't. Always a favorite. When I said I didn't and wasn't interested in anyone right now, he said..."I'm right here." Ok. New topic. Like, how you translate "Va a salir un dia conmigo" into English. For the record, it's "Someday, will you (go out) with me?" Next Saturday? What about Sunday? during the day? Riiiight...gotta go...check the pool. As I'm leaving, he says 'tell me if you want to go to Mexico. You should come.'

Maybe...so, if I suddenly drop off the grid for about 3 years, you know what happened to me.
But for some people, it may be difficult to tell if I've dropped off the grid or just returning calls and texts in my usually timely manner.

Explaining myself...

Ok, so I'm not usually the type to put everything out there...especially where it will stay forever and one day, years from now, long after I've forgotten that I was supposed to be maintaining a blog, someone can happen across this page and have proof of how ridiculous I am. But I've been told I need to write down some of the stories that I tell about the things that happen to me (I attract weirdness) And Kim has been mentioning that I should do this 30 day photo challenge thing.

So, here I am. At least for the next 30 days.
