FRIDAY THE 13TH!!

Ok, so is it possible to have the BEST and WORST day of your life in the same day? Well let me just clarify that IT IS!!! I had the BEST night sleep I have probably just about ever had in my entire life last night (i finally bought new sheets and pillows-- my pillows by the way, are AWESOME!) and I figured that today would just be fabulous!... and it was, until about 8:30! I was walking towards the bus stop to catch my bus for work, and I realized that my oyster card (an oyster card is a card that you put money on it, and you can use the bus and the tube) was MIA... I had a mini panic attack! I ran back to my apartment, and tore it upside down-- still, NO oyster card! So, I had to pay 2 pounds just to take the bus to work! I was NOT a happy camper!So, of course, I get to work late! (well like 3 minutes late, but still.. I had been getting there like 15 minutes early!) I started out doing some more busy work, which I didn't mind... and little did I know, that it was a test! He had placed a few wrong numbers in there to see if I was actually paying attention to my work-- which I WAS!!! He didn't trick me!... and he was VERY pleased! After that, I went on a "Comp Shop" trip with this guy named Ian, to compare prices at our competitors stores! It was sooo fun and intersting.. but a few times, I thought I was going to get caught! Thank goodness I didn't! The only bad thing about that trip was the blister I got, that later became my nemis. I went back to work, and did some more work, where I caught another mistake in the papers, they were proud of me for that too!... I then started working with the merchandising team, and I helped put different outfits together... We made color copies of our work, and are going to pitch it to the head honcho on Monday, if she approves... they are sending those copies off to the stores, and that is how they will merchandise their stores! Now THATS my kind of project! After that I worked with the actual designers of the line Linea, and I helped design jeans pockets! IT WAS AN AWESOME DAY! until I had to try to get a new oyster card... that was the worst experience EVER, and in the process... I was having to wonder ALL OVER LONDON with a huge blister on the back of my ankle... I stopped at two different pharmacys to get bandaids, that was a waster! Because by the time I got home, they were bleeding! AND on top of all of that, I was freezing cold, and everyone on the bus smelled bad! It was just not the best part of my day! But tonight, I am going to a really neat place with my friends... SO that makes it better!!! I have to get ready.. they are yelling at me to hurry! BYE! love and miss all of you guys!

Great post! It sounds like it is all turning out to be as exciting as you thought it would be! Can't wait to hear about Brighton Beach!

Sorry about your terrible, horrible day. Sounds like you did great on the important stuff, though... your job. They're not going to trick the Texas Toughie. Carolyn, your mom and I did a little "pre-tanning" for SPI yesterday, but today is so hot the thought of it makes me nauseated.
Later, nh/bb

Lana loved London when she went in high school. Sounds like you're making quite a splash on the London fashion scene - we're proud of you!
