Meet Raymon, aka Ray Bird.

He is ONE of my boss's birds. There are two birds that live here at the office. This one is Ray Bird. He is an African Grey and is incredibly smart... And creeps me out how much he can sound like ME when he mimics things I say. Every once in a while him and I have a "clucking battle", we just cluck like chickens back and forth. Anyways... On the the reason of this post. Ray Bird is an ESCAPE ARTIST. He is always getting out of his cage somehow. Luckily for me Ray Bird likes me and always comes to visit me at my desk. Usually he walks around the floor trying to chew on things and stares at me hoping I'll pick him up. Honestly, most days I'm scared to try, cause I know bird bites HURT. But honestly if he WANTED to bite me, it would be really easy for him to, plus he'd act more aggressive towards me... 

Well today.... Yes, oh today... he REALLY wanted me to pay attention to him. So you know what he tried to do? CLIMB UP MY CHAIR! 

Here he is hanging from the thing that adjusts my chair height.

Of course when he did that, I proceeded to get up from my chair... Don't want him biting my butt... And took a picture!

This is him, trying to pull himself up from the bar to the seat of my chair.

By that time, I called for the boss and he scooped him up. I don't think this bird will stop til I give him more attention.... This is almost occurring daily. He looks at my chair like he wants to climb up it ALL the time but I usually can scoot it around and he will leave me be. 

I am thankful I don't have to deal with too many ahole customers... or even coworkers for that matter... So I guess I have to settle for birds who want to climb up my chair. Until next time!

I just wanted to say hello and that I'm in the process of writing a really big blog post about my mini vacation. But since it is so big I start to get some writers block and have to step away from it for a while before I can continue. Plus, I'm adding pictures to it and I have to finish editing those. I am hoping I have time to finish it today while I am at work cause this week is a BUSY week and I want to get it all out while it's still fresh in my mind! {I confess that I was even writing it while still on the vacation! haha}

Tomorrow, I have a bridal shower to go to for my friend's wedding that I am in. Thursday is the rehearsal dinner and Friday is the wedding! WOO HOO! Zoie is going to be a flower girl and I am one of the bridesmaids. Can not wait! I am so happy for my friends Jaired and Lydia. They make such a good couple and they are very good for each other.

So how did you spend your 4th? Yesterday, Zoie and I went to Glen's grandparent's for lunch with his family. Walking into their house was almost a lil flash back for me beause it just smelled like a grandma's house, in a good way! Definitely reminded me being at my Grandma Walker's house {oh how I miss her!}. Of course, Zoie wouldn't let go of my leg most of the time, she is usually really shy around people she doesn't know. At first... Once you get her to open up, oh boy! She is CRAZY! I guess she is just like her mama! :) Although the best part of the lunch was when it was time to leave... Glen and Zo were on one side of the door and I was still on the other side... And they kept trying to ask Zoie questions {or something}. Instead of answering, Zo just walked back inside with "her big doe eyes" {as Glen mom says} grabs my hand and starts walking out of the door with me in hand. Hahaha. It was hilarious! Everyone got a kick out of it and was apparently calling it "pulling a Zoie." It was definitely one of those things where you just had to be there!

After lunch, we went back to Glen's for a little bit before heading back home. We went to Walmart first to get food for dinner, THEN home to cook and eat dinner with Glen and Zoie. Which not to stroke my ego but it was pretty damn good! {glad I have been blessed with some good cooking skills!} After dinner all three of us went into my room and watched "The Man Who Knew Too Little" on netflix, sent Zoie to bed after that was done; then Glen and I finished off the night with some True Blood before "going to sleep." :) Only a few more episodes of season 3 before Glen is FINALLY caught up with the series and then we can FINALLY start watching season 4! {which is already 2 shows in}

Alright! I do have some work that needs to be done and then I can finish my mini vacation story! :) Hope y'all have a happy "monday"!
