It's half way through the audit week, so far so good. Only 5 adjustments, all client (that's me) proposed. They are staying till Friday though, which is longer than hoped for but right on the expected schedule. Monday night I came home and worked my toosh off w/ chores, last night I busted my butt at the gym, so tonight I decided to treat myself to a pedicure, wax, shopping, dinner, and a massage. It was a great night indeed.
However, whilst I was trying on clothes at Dressbarn (still hate that name) I overheard two young girls, lets say 10 years old, discussing whatever came to mind. They were talking about what sport girl A should do. Girl B suggested basketball to which A replied "that's a boys sport, I want a girls sport." B tried to push and say that no, basketball was for everyone, just like tennis and other sports, but A was adament that certain sports were for boys only and that boys had this mentality that they were better than girls. A went on to say "I don't know where they get this idea from, was it a movie?" That comment made me almost bust out laughing but then I thought about it and thought - wait a tick - what does give the world/our society the impression, apparently very early on, that boys one up girls?
Is it religion that teaches the man is the head of the house? Is it the glass ceiling and the fact that men simply make more money than women which equates to power? Is it because women are seen as nuturers where as men can just up and leave no strings attached, no responsibility? Is it our government? Is it our teachers? Is it inate? What gives? It was an interesting thought to ponder and I'll be honest - I didn't get very far. Some things just are the way they is and that be that, ya know.
On that note, I'll be attending a dinner celebration tomorrow w/ RBMBA to celebrate Women of Influence in the Seattle area. I'm really looking forward to it, especially now that RB is going. I miss her and it's been a while since we've been able to shoot the shit.
My diet is going well, my exercise could use some improvement. No word on my refund from 24 Hour Fitness yet. I really hope they give me one, I want to continue training with Quinn even if it means doubling up on gyms for a few months.
The holidays are approaching and with shock I looked at the calendar and realized that as of Monday I have only 9 working days left in November. The 12th is a staff retreat, I have surgery revision on the 16th, I'm off for Thanksgiving on the 22nd and 23rd, then Holiday Magic is on the 28th and 29th. Luckily I think November will be a "bye" month for closing, which would be great because then I could focus on wrapping up the audit, then entering the budget info, cleaning up the October GL, rolling balances forward, clean up the vendors and all GL accounts (typical maintenance), and close Oct and Nov in one fell swoop. By that time it will be the middle of December and time for my Winter Break - I have December 21st - January 1st off of work (YAY!). When I come back, it will be time to close December and then on to procedure books and all the stuff that got pushed to the wayside while I got everything in order.
Well, I"m tired - I meant to go to bed an hour ago - oops.

My unsolicited opinion is this...women have ALOT of power. It is why we've been oppressed for thousands of years.
Matriarchal societies certainely do exist and in many religions and cultures across the world, women are revered as the most holy of all.
But not in America, even still.
It makes me sick and while I am not able to be fully objective at the moment, it has come to my attention that the stronger and more vocal a women is, the more likely she is to be chastized and/or demonized. Especially by men, but just as often, by her fellow woman. Typically the catty, stepford type; which sadly a large population still exists.
You can ponder it all you want, good luck. I've given up trying to understand it and have resigned myself to that fact.
Mostly, I think boys suck. Except my son, he's great;)
