LEGO's

Growing up I always wanted Lego's but never managed to receive them so in my early adult life I went through a Lego phase where I would buy myself Lego's, specifically Star Wars Lego's. This weekend I was at the Curves I workout at and they had gift tags with a child's gender, age and something they wanted. I happened to find a 12 year-old girl that wanted Lego's. As girl who grew up wanting Lego's but never received them I was all over that.

Later in the day I found myself in the vicinity of a Lego's store and seeing how I had just agreed to buy some Lego's I went in. Maybe this was foolish, but I didn't really expect to want to buy any for myself. I did find a set of Star Wars Lego's that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection but I didn't seriously consider buying. Then after I purchased my gift on the way out a noticed an Eiffel Tower set, I am not sure how I didn't notice it before because they had one set up and it was really quite tall. I didn't like Paris nor did I really enjoy being on the Eiffel Tower (the whole fear of heights got in the way) but for some reason I found myself looking for the price. I am not really sure why there is no way that the set was in a range where I would actually pay for it.

But then one the way out I thought to myself, "This is why I need to have boys." My next thought was along the lines of terror of having a girl that actually liked girly things because I don't think I would have any idea of what to do with that. But for now, once my nephews are a little older I can buy them fun Lego sets. And now I am pondering taking apart one of my sets so that I can put it back together.

This is going to be fun, right?

This week at work I was asked if I could help out with another project for a few days. I had been warned by my project manager that we had a lot going in December and I this would likely happen. But what specifically they asked me to do surprised me. Tomorrow I am flying to West Virginia as a part of a team of 4 from my company (and I am the only female on the trip). There is an existing building there that we are doing the renovation on so we have to go out there to look at what equipment and such is already there.


On Friday everyone at work kept asking me if I was excited about it. My honest answer to that is yes and no. I think it will be fun to be out of the office and go somewhere new for a few days. It will also be nice to get to know some of my coworkers better. I don't any of the other 3 going all that well. That also brings to why I am not so excited about it. I don't know these guys all that well and that is going to be a lot of time with them. Also, I look forward to flying so that I can sit and read for several hours but now I am going to be sitting next to a coworker so are they going to expect me to interact? Of course there is the wondering of how many hours we will be working - 8,10,12? And what we will do at night when we are done working? But if we survived Europe without any trauma I can survive West Virginia with a few coworkers for a couple of days, right? I am just trying to go into this with a open mind. Only time will tell...
