An Ode to Kim

I recently found out my very good friend and colleague has put in her two weeks notice at my place of work.  Now I am not technically supposed to know this yet, so I am sharing it only with you my readers, and my facebook friends. But no one else. I always kind of wondered why she was there in the first place since she is so amazing and way over qualified for the position she was in, so I am deep down very happy for her and wish her the best. On the outside I will be angry and hostile, it is never a good idea to show people that we care, (some quick advise from me) So in honor of her leaving I am dedicating this post to her, mostly because I will miss her, but partly because I really wanted to use the word 'ode' in a blog post and this is a good opportunity. So here is to you, Kim Petty, an ode to you!

Now one of the issues with writing an ode to Kim is that I have only known her a couple of months and I do not have any good stories of her, but that's ok because I am very good at storytelling and I can just make one up, so here is the story of the time Kim and I went shopping.

We had planned to go shopping together for days because we both made so much money we really needed to spend it. After much discussion we decided to have no budget for the day, and to not limit ourselves to shopping alone, but clean entertainment of any kind. First we decided to drop by Kim's uncle's place, Tom Petty, and have him sing a few jams for us. This was fun since I have always been a pretty big fan of Tom Petty and singing 'Free Falling' live with just me and Tom Petty happened to be on my bucket list. After our quick stop at his house we went to the deep south to see another one of Kim's uncles, Richard Petty, race in a NASCAR race. Now I am not a huge NASCAR fan, but relatives are relatives, and famous relatives are famous relatives, so we went. (Plus Kim is a REALLY big NASCAR fan, something I didn't know about her before this day). After this it was starting to be afternoon and we needed to get some serious shopping done, we decided New York was the best place to do this and found ourselves there in short order. Several thousand dollars and lots of fun shopping bags later we decided a couple drinks and some dancing was a good way to end the evening. We knew that Vegas was of course the best place for this so we went to a very hot night club, of which I can't remember the name. They let us in right away, mumbling something about incredibly hot girls and how lucky their club was that night. It was here that we danced the night away, I even had a chance to pull out my famous Sexy dance that so very few people have been privileged to see, it pushed the lines of 'clean fun' but stayed with in its boundaries. After our dancing we decided to call it a day and jetted home so we could be sure to get to work on time the next day.

Im sure after this story you can see why I'm going to miss her so much, so many memories......

So in conclusion, Kim I hope you finish up Harry Potter, I hope your new job is awesome, and I really hope you take me to meet your uncles again.
