The "First day of School" feeling

My fabulous month (well, really a month and 1 week) off from work and the world of insurance will be over in 48 hours. I am starting my new job as a Producer for Berends, Hendricks, Stuit on Monday. I'm not sure if it's because there is a hint of fall in the evening air, or if it's because Target has their full "Back to School" display out, but I seriously feel like the summer is over and I'm about to start my first day at a new school.

I have found myself doing all of the same things that I did when planning for my first day of school growing up. I have my first day outfit all planned (and day 2, 3 and 4) and I've even packed my bag already. I have new pens, fresh pads of paper and my favorite pictures of me and my friends from this summer. (The pictures will be on my desk instead of a locker of course)

The nervous/excited butterflies have officially taken over and all I can think about is my first day. Let's hope I can find my way around and am not late for anything! Hey, maybe if I'm lucky, a cute boy will even wink at me in the hallway.

Slydial

Have any of you head of Slydial? They were talking about it on Fox News this morning and I think it's brilliant! I think we've all had those moments where you have to call someone but are praying you just get their voice mail so you can leave your message and not have to get stuck talking to them. Whether you want to cancel on a date, call in sick to work, or decline an invite to something. Well, now if you call 276-Slydial from any land line or mobile phone, you just have to listen to a quick advertisement and then it connects you to the person's voice mail. The funniest part to me is, you can add different background noises. So, if you want to pretend like you are going to be late because you are stuck in traffic, you can leave traffic background noise. And it's all free!

Here is the web site. I may have to try this out on someone later just to see if it really works!
