Kellen went to Northgate today to get this hair cut because he doesn't trust anybody else. 

I read today that Andy Dick was let go from a movie over sexual allegations and misconduct. Seriously because Andy Dick has been a Dick for years and I was pretty sure everyone knew that. 

Steve's going hunting for the rest of the week. I told him to take pictures of him with all of the guys cuddling because it's supposed to be cold. 

I heard on the news today that two women were rescued by the US Navy after they were lost at sea for five months. They apparently wanted to go from Honolulu to Tahiti and ended up 900 miles southeast of Japan and had lost their engine in bad weather and thought they could still reach Tahiti with their sails. Honolulu to Tahiti is about a 3,000 mile trip out in the middle of nowhere. I want to know how many people are stupid enough to make that trip on a sail boat? Luckily for them they had enough food to survive. 

I was pretty sure Ashley quit today because she was late but then she came up with some dumb excuse about a train. 

Since nobody dressed up today we'll have to take a stroll down memory lane.

Roger announced yesterday that he was going to have a new grandson soon but turns out it was a granddaughter. He's been lying this whole time, he wanted to be just like me with two grandsons.

Tim thinks he's going to be gone most of February. I'm not sure why he's concerned he was gone most of September and October too.

I'm beginning to think that Sarah's the devil, she tried sweet talking her boy toy into doing something for her.

Bill thinks somebody screwed up his sandbox again. I think he has a cat living in his office.

"House of Cards" is to end now that Kevin Spacey came out as gay, it has nothing to do with the fact that he allegedly raped some kid thirty years ago.

It's a good thing that Roger wasn't at the same Halloween party that Ashley was at the other night because her boyfriend dressed up as "It" and I'm not sure if Roger would have wanted to do clown porn with him or just run and hide.

It sounds like Ashley was the hit of the party last night.

Typhinee made the call that Michael is only a hero until today and he's on vacation today too.

It sounds like Toni's financial advisor is really trying to win over Typhinee to be a potential client. Things were getting pretty intimate last night.

It was a good day, Steve tried quitting before he got to work this morning.

"Bill loves the lesbians." Howard

I totally forgot to bore all of you with my hike from two Sunday's ago. We had set out for a hike with some autumn color and knew there was some snow at Paradise. I had a last minute thought and I thought it would be overkill but I brought my snow boots. Turns out I needed my snow boots and we could have used our snowshoes too but we clearly weren't smart enough to bring those. We headed up for our trail only to find out that nobody had been there for days and there was no path so we ended up going to Panorama Point which was also beautiful.

Typhinee finally figured out who Toni's financial advisor is because he started drawing crap on a piece of paper for her last night. I think she's now on board too. I can't wait till the rest of us have the opportunity.

So much for having a sink, it leaked first thing this morning, dang that Erik.

There's something wrong with Ashley, she's going to do hot yoga again.

"That Toni just can't keep his hands to himself." Steve

Toni told me that he didn't like Boy Scouts when he was growing up. It's probably because they all thought it was weird that he wanted to dress up as a Girl Scout and sell their cookies.

Ashley thinks that she's going to a sailor bar with the way that Tim and Toni have talked about the PSHEA meetings. I bet she tells Tim tomorrow that he has to go the next time because they're all really old sailors.

I'm hoping the guy who was installing our shelving lost a bet because he had a tiara tattooed on his head.

Michael might have been a hero Monday and Tuesday but Ashley said he was an a$$hole today. 

Typhinee either told Roger or Sarah not to come into the office today because of some noise issue. Man she's mean, I didn't hear a thing.

We finally have a kitchen sink again.

I'm thinking about taking a course from Toni's financial advisor because I'm just not getting it and I feel like I'm really missing out on something special.

I know what I'm buying Bill for Christmas, he was complaining that some of his pistachio's weren't open and he refused being defeated.

Ashley is going to try hot yoga tonight. I can't wait to hear her stories.

All I have to say is that if I ever have a serious life issue I hope Michael is there, he was a freaking hero yesterday. By the way Michael would like us to do a documentary about him. He said something about a video showing his clients how he goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Bill wanted to know who dug around in his sand box while he was gone today, what a paranoid man. I was happy to throw Steve's name out there but I have no idea who it was.

Tim has conned Ashley into going to the PSHEA meeting.

Toni has a new financial advisor and it's really practical that the guy works in our building.

The Roomba wanted to spy on Typhinee today, it hid under her desk.

Seriously who sits around high and comes up with new food for Taco Bell, they now have a Kit Kat Chocoladilla. Sorry Roxanne this probably only sounds good to you right now.

Steve thinks Toni goes to his closet every morning and asks himself "What is the gayest shirt I own?" and then picks it.

Michael found an installer that he wants his daughter to date.

Mary's upset that her husband took first place in a yodeling contest and she won second place and he didn't give her his prize.

Roger's first appointment of the day on Saturday didn't want to get out of bed for him. I think she knew that his wife was out of town so he had all day to play.

Michael set a new record, he had an installer for a day and the guy wanted to commit suicide. We're pretty sure that Michael told him to finish the job first before he offed himself.

Toni made a big deal that he will be upset if he finds a dead body in his office. 

Tim for some reason thinks that we have competent people to manage his jobsites. I'm pretty sure if they ask for someone competent that we'll have to send Mary.

Tim freaking doubted me today, I showed him....

It's been a day of subcontractor installer firsts and Michael in the end took the guy to the hospital. I think this was so the guy could clean up before meeting his daughter.

Ashley would like to start using Patina Old World Flooring exclusively because of their website picture.

Bill had to tell Toni not to make something gay this morning.

Toni thought Sarah was offering him panties in a bowl the other day then he told Steve about it and  Steve obviously wanted panties in a bowl too but Sarah only offered him the candy PayDay, obviously she wants to find out if all of the rumors about Toni are true.

Apparently with a new child on the way Bill thinks he can demand Katherine to be tidy. He told me that the deal was that she can't make messes or she goes to the orphanage.

The other day the Roomba tried telling my phone app that it was on the edge of a cliff (suicidal apparently). It was under Roger's desk wrapped in cords.

Steve thinks that his beard is attracting all of the dudes to want to kiss him. Yesterday Bill wanted to and today it was Toni.

Roger told me that Ashley is still nice to him on the phone when he calls in. He realized that all of us haven't quite filled her in on him yet and he requested that we refrain just a little longer just so that she'll be nice to him a little longer.

For the last part of our trip we took a day trip from Zurich to Lucerne on the train. While at Lucerne we took a yacht around Lake Lucerne for the spectacular views of the amazing scenery. This is where we saw the incredible green hillsides and mountain views.

Steve laughed his a$$ off after he found out who Mary hired.

Roger told me to quit hassling him today after I asked him how he was doing. I'm pretty sure there will be a letter from his lawyer on my desk tomorrow.

I heard Typhinee talking on her phone today and somebody was accusing her of dating a black guy. Now I have to know who the heck she's dating, I have a few guesses: Shira's boyfriend, Magic Johnson, Dennis Rodman, RuPaul, Eddie Murphy or possibly the whole Seattle Seahawks team.

I'm almost done talking about our amazing vacation but I still have a little more. From Venice we flew to Zurich and it was clear enough that we were actually able to see some of the mountains this time. Flying into Zurich, Switzerland was beautiful, flying over I could see patches of trees with trails, I saw numerous people riding horses and then surrounding these forests was the brightest green grass on the face of the earth. We got into Zurich about dinner time and found a restaurant nearby that had traditional fondue. I have to say that the sound of the German language was nails on a chalk board compared to the Italian that we were used to but the trade off was that Zurich didn't have the amount of people that Italy had and the strange thing was the Zurich film festival was going on when we were there. We unfortunately didn't make the time to swim in the river like Toni, Nikki and Randy did but it was quite beautiful.

I appreciate that Michael didn't introduce me to someone who he thought I would kick the nuts off of.

It's a good thing that I recently saw the "Seinfeld" episode with the big salad because Bill totally pulled a George today. Toni brought me in a salad from Amante's but since Bill insisted that he paid for it I should tell him how wrong it was. They forgot the two kind of meats, the sunflower seeds,  mushrooms and artichoke hearts and I'm sure some other crap.

For our last day in Venice we took the vaparetto over to a bunch of churches (I know not any different than any other day) and also got to view their former shipyard. This area was responsible for most of the Venetian republic's naval power during the time between 1100 and 1797. As for the rest of our day we wandered to the end of the island where there is a large park area and a sign graffitied on the outside bathroom walls with "Visitors Not Welcome" and sat in the sun on a bench looking out over the water.

Sounds like Steve and Toni were "napping" together this morning because both of them said that they didn't hear their alarm.

"Steve busted my balls." Toni talking to Bill (obviously about last night).

I may go to jail, I signed Typhinee's name to her Jimmy John's receipt today.

Roger's BFF is starting to look a little old. I saw him on his new show "9JKL" and of course Roger hasn't aged at all.

One thing about Italy is that we kept finding ourselves asking was "How old is this place?". We had ventured over to a Franciscan church that was granted land in 1250 in Venice and they started building shortly after that. I kept finding art work and things that were original to the church and dated back to the 1300 and 1400's.  We also visited an old art school that was decorated floor to ceiling with incredible works. Again this was a great part of town that was away from the hustle and bustle of St Marks Square. We found a restaurant with a outdoor courtyard area under some large trees to eat lunch at and it was absolutely wonderful.

Bill thinks he looks a lot like Brad Pitt and thinks people confuse the two of them all the time.

I don't know how Tim and Toni are functioning today, they went a day without sleep this weekend and came home without many ducks.

It was a big day around here, we got a new coffee pot. Which is also sad because the white one was the original one the company started with.

"We have to get this hooker out of here because I'm going to Vegas tomorrow." Tim to Steve

Toni wants to know how someone can not know what "Rocky" is about.

For our second day in Venice we rushed off to the Doge's Palace to beat the crowds and thankfully it never felt over crowded inside. It was a very impressive palace designed for the ruling supreme authority of Venice, the building is mostly from the 14th and 15th century. The Chamber of the Great Council room is pretty incredible and every square inch of the ceilings and walls are painted or trimmed in gold, it is also one of the largest rooms in Europe. After the palace we ventured over to Murano to look at the glass shops and it was great because we left all of the people at St Marks Square.

Bill tried telling me that he was going hunting with Tim and Toni and that's why he was at the office so early this morning, don't worry I called his BS.

I apparently blew Bill's mind again. I swear this blew him away the last time I mentioned it, the younger guy on "The Good Guys" television show is Tom Hank's son.

Steve tried blaming me for throwing him under the bus but technically I didn't, I threw him under a high speed train to remind me of Italy.

The next  morning we took the train from Florence to Venice, the countryside was so picturesque between those cities but it did rain a little that day which wasn't a big deal since we didn't have much besides traveling planned for that day. We ended up visiting St. Marks Basilica (which didn't allow pictures inside, probably because the line for this is always forever long so I took my pictures in the hallway) and we visited another church that was outside of the St. Marks crowd thankfully. The crowds of people definitely took away some of the splendor of the city but we did find that St. Marks square was delightful in the evening time when everyone was gone and the classical music bands were playing in the square.

They were grinding the floor of the warehouse bathroom today and I thought the women's bathroom toilet was going to explode, the noise was so loud but after I got over the noise it was kind of weird to have the toilet seat massage me from the vibration. I guess I should be happy that I had a toilet seat, that's one thing all of the public bathrooms in Italy were missing.

Toni has a Mexican restaurant to recommend to anyone who wants to sit in the bathroom all day.

Forest thought it was too bad that Roger doesn't drink Whiskey. He also told me that he was sorry that I had to come back from vacation and deal with Roger. Finally a person who understands what I have to deal with.

Luke's baby girl obviously doesn't like me, the kid started screaming after Mary brought her in my office.

Tim asked Toni to bring a camouflaged propane heater tomorrow and a machete. This doesn't sound very work related and on top of it Tim's going to Vegas next week.

For our second day in Florence we were on a Michelangelo mission. We viewed his amazing David first thing in the morning at the gallery, we went to the Medici Chapel where Michelango made the tombs for the Medici family and then we found Michelangelo's tomb at the church of Santa de Jim Croce (that might not be the official name of the church but that's what we called it). We also walked to the Ponte Vecchio Bridge where I swear the whole city was standing. I honestly don't know how the jewelry vendors sell anything on that bridge because it was all tourists taking selfies.

I thought Tim was the hair and fashion police today, he started off by asking Ashley if her hair was naturally straight or curly. Apparently this whole questioning started because Typhinee showed up last week with curly hair, what Tim didn't realize is that her hair is naturally curly. The next thing to blow Tim's mind was that Bill's hair is naturally curly too and Bill pulled out one of his old drivers licenses with his afro picture.

Typhinee was going to frisk me today just to find her pink pen so this is your warning don't take her pen.

From Rome we took a high speed train to Florence and it's amazing how smooth those train rides are. We got to our hotel and it looked out on a town square and right across the square was a building and chapel that Michelangelo did work in. After an amazing lunch we visited the Santa Maria del Fiore which is the large church in town with the impressive dome. Since we had just come from Rome where all of the churches are decorated over the top inside my husband complained that the inside of this one was boring which I would agree with but the baptistery (separate building) was incredible though with tons of gold mosaic tiles everywhere. The highlight of the day was that we had reservations to walk up the staircase to the top of the dome. About half way up I was starting to feel a little claustrophobic and a little dizzy from going round and round on this small spiral staircase but my husband decided it was too much for him so he left me and I didn't realize it until quite a bit later. He missed out though because the views from the top were amazing.
