Okay, so let me take you back to the first time I met my CrAzY friend, Miss Heather Love. I first met Heather, at Financial Independence Group, when she joined our contracting team. This was in September of 2006. I had been working there for a little over 5 months when we first met. Heather was by no means shy and I could tell this would be the start of a beautiful friendship. Just like at any normal job, there is a process of training. I think this lasted for about two weeks, maybe a little shorter, as Heather caught onto things quite fast (Praise God). Contracting was/is known for there hire turn around when it comes to employees. So when they hired Heather, someone knew what they were doing. I first got to know Heather when I invited her and her boyfriend, Mike out to dinner with my Husband, Jeremy and I. We decided on Cheeseburger in Paradise in Huntersville, NC. I think both Heather and Mike learned A LOT about me that night. A little bit too much in fact, but we won't even go there. Needless to say, we all hit it off.
I have had so many good and crazy times with Heather, that is hard for me to recall them all, but I will start with a few good stories. Be prepared to laugh. I know I am! I stated earlier that Heather is by no means shy and when I say that, I really mean it. I think she would talk to anyone. Heather is very upbeat and if she is ever down in the dumps, that's when you know something is really wrong. I swear the girl talks sometimes, just so she can hear her own voice. I am sure she, well actually I know she got in trouble alot for talking in school, and well at work too.
Let's start with what Heather likes to call the "Mr. Frosty Dance" Jeremy and I both got to watch this at the Bowling Alley one night...oh and I got to preview at work many times. Basically, you put both your hands on your hips and slowly whirl around. Almost as if you were going to twirl a hula hoop. When asked why this is called the "Mr. Frosty Dance" Heather will simply explain the following. Number 1-Have you ever been to Wendy's? Typically everyone answers yes. Number 2-You've ordered a frosty right? Again typically the answer is yes. Number 3-well you know how the frosty comes out of the machine and it looks like it's twisted/dancing? Typical Answer...Ummmm Yeah. Heather-well that is why it's called the "Mr. Frosty Dance" Thanks again H-Dub for helping to clear that up.
Moving on...Heather is from NY, so me, being a true southern girl, she likes to pick on the way I say things. One day in particular though, I overheard Heather talking to someone on the phone about an Elementary School experience. No big deal right? (Buzzer Sound Effect Here) Heather says Elementary like this Elle-ah-men-tarry. Us southerners say El-la-men-ter-re. Needless to say, Heather has and will be picked on about this ever since.
Being friends with Heather, I have also come to know that she sometimes has trouble walking. Not just walking in heels, but flat out walking, whether she be bare foot, has on sneakers, or heels, the girl simply cannot walk without falling somewhere. I don't know how many times my pants almost got pulled down in the stairwell at FIG b/c of course, her natural reaction was to grab me as she was falling. Whether it be granny panties or I could have been thongy it up for the day, my butt was going to be exposed. Heather has not only fallen up and down the stairwell, but in the halls of FIG, outside the building at FIG and in the Kitchen at FIG. I believe Karl was a witness or was it Josh to the incident in the kicthen? One would think there was something slippery in the floor, but nope. That's Heather for you. I guess I can't really talk much though. I recall going to lunch with H-Dub at McAalister's Deli. I had on high heels, a red skirt and white top. At the time Heather was driving her jeep cheerokee and as usual there were no close parking spots. Heather had to park literally right up against the curb. As I am getting out of the vehicle I say "Now watch me fall" Did I mention that Heather is right at 5 feet " tall? Sure enough, Heather and I both get out of the car and whoosh, there I go. Heather is yelling "Dallas where did you go?" She couldn't see me. She comes around the corner and there I am laying there on the curb. I stand up and blood is pouring down my right leg. I literally cut it open from my hip all the way down to my ankle. Heather was rolling on the floor laughing. I am sure everyone thought we were complete idiots. I guess that was my pay back for all those times I made fun of Heather not being able to walk straight. Contracting has had there share of laughs with people busting there butts. (Clearing Throat Sound Effect Here) Robin???
Now lets see, what else??? Oh yeah, let's talk about the shred it bin. FIG has Shred It Bins in Place around the office, so that vital information cannot be used/stolen. Contracting always loved to take pictures and somehow the Shred It Bin located in Contracting always seemed to make it's way in our pictures. This one day in particular, Whitney was taking pictures for both Heather and I. Heather looks at me and says "Why don't you just hop up on that bad boy so Whit can take our picture? Me "I don't think that's such a good idea" Heather "Ohh sure, it will be fine." Me "ummm, no seriously I don't think that's a good idea" Needless to say, Peer Pressure got the best of me. So instead of easily tyring to pull myself up on top of the shred it bin, I decided to jump. If I could describe the look on Whitney's face and what happened next everyone would pee there pants. I thought I had gone through the wall, but thank God, I had just cracked the top of the Shred It Bin. Contracting laughed about this for days/months to come. What made it even better is when someone would come by and say "What happpened to the Shred It Bin?" I believe Justin Edwards was the first to notice. We immediately burst into laughter and Justin is looking at us like...okay.
These are just a few good times that I have had with Heather. Trust me there are many more to tell, but these by far top them all. Heather girl, you are crazy and if there is one person in this world that can always make me laugh, it is definitley you! I love you girl and wouldn't trade our friendship for anything in the world! You ROCK! Here's some lines for you...
