As you all know this week (October 3rd through October 7th) was National Customer Service Appreciation week. While it has been fun, I’m so glad that it is finally over with. I actually broke my participation record. I participated every single dress up day. Something that I’d never done before, not even in high school. Monday was mistmatch day. I actually went to lunch at Jason’s Deli, went to Sam’s Club to pick up the cakes and then to school dressed in mismatched attire. But you know, nothing embarrasses me anymore. Surprisingly, I didn’t get a lot of strange looks on campus. I guess they all figured that is how I normally dress anyway so it’s not like there was anything different. I didn’t really have any special clothes for 80’s day so I just put something together from my closet. I have these off-shoulder shirts that I got a couple of years ago from Abercrombie & Fitch so I put the red one on over a light blue racerback tank. I wore a short poufy skirt, leg warmers and pumps. Then I was going to tease my hair but I didn’t have any hairspray so I just wore my hair in a high side pony tail. I looked pretty 80’s. Lance and I actually went to Sam’s Club. I think he was kind of embarrassed to be seen with me because of my ridiculous get up. The funny thing is I had to activate a line of credit with Sam’s because Sam’s doesn’t take credit cards and I don’t have a pin to my debit card. So they had to take my picture with my hair in a side pony tail. I don’t want to hear anyone complain about their driver’s license picture ever. My Sam’s Club photo experience is a lot worse than that by leaps. I had a little bit of time to change before class so I didn’t have to go looking all 80’s. I moved my pony tail to the middle, took off my leg warmers and replaced the pumps with flip flops. My clothes were actually pretty normal-looking otherwise. Wednesday was crazy hat day but I don’t really own any crazy hats so I just put on my Roxy denim hat. I’ve had it since at least 1999. I even have a picture of me wearing it in the bedroom of our old townhouse. I don’t know if it’s in my Flickr album. I think it might be, but I’m too lazy to sift through over two thousand pictures.

[Instead of looking for it, I thought I’d just scan it and upload it. So there may be two of these on Flickr now. It’s not like I’m going to run out of space, though. Just one of the perks of having a pro account. LOL. Anyway, this photo was taken May 2000.] Thursday was Hawaiian day. It was also the day of our luncheon. The next day was slippers day. I think everything went great with the food and the games. The only off thing was the ice cream that we provided on Friday when it was kind of cold out. But the plans were made in September when the weather was still pretty warm. I guess we didn’t expect winter weather so soon. People ate the ice cream anyway, though. I guess there’s never a bad time for ice cream.   😛
