Administrative Assistant's Day 4/06

Wednesday 4/26/06.... Professional Administrative Day..... Pete, our boss, told Bonnie (my co-worker and 2nd Best Friend) that he would take us out to lunch at Appleby's to celebrate ..... Of course when Bonnie and I started talking about what we should wear.... things started to go a bit to the far side.....as always with the two of us... .. And before we knew it we came up with the little plan to have a some fun with Pete...... We decided we'd go all out and wear something way out there and let him think that was what we planned to wear for our luncheon outing...... Being a Red Hat Lady.... my outfit was a given..... Bonnie had to search her closet but was also able to find just the perfect outfit...... Here I am in mine... I had to stop off at my good friend Jan's home and pick up a few extras.... A little extra bling-bling....including the lovely red boa around my neck..... Just that extra touch I was looking for.... Jan took this picture just before I headed off to the office.... giggling the whole way....just imagining the look on Pete's face when he got his first look at ole BonBon and MerMer..... Here's Bonnie in her get-up.... getting a little needed help from our good friend, Vicki.... BonBon had bling-bling everywhere!! And I'm just loving those sunglasses..... Gives her a look of sophistication don't you think??
Vicki was on the ball with the camera and quick to catch Pete's expression as we walked into his office (Each of us tryinig very hard to suppress our giggles... and look serious)....... I think we got just the reaction we were looking for from this picture..... He didn't know what to think.... and we kept him thinking that this was what we planned to wear right up until time to leave.... What a fun morning that made for BonBon and I.....LOL Of course getting him to pose with us took a little convincing.... but we weren't about to be put off..... Way too much thought and work went into our planning to let him off the hook now....
Of course we had to get a shot of the double-trouble team posing in all our glory.... How do ya like those red ankle socks.... Nice touch don't you think....
A little close up shot of MerMer.....
And a little close up shot of BonBon.....
Mike the mail man showed up while the cameras were still out... so of course couldn't let him leave without getting him to pose with us..... The look on his face when he walked through the door was well worth our little dress extravaganza as well......
And did we get any work done??? Of course we did... Here we are hard at work filing.....


Finally it was time to go out to lunch.... and to our good fortune.... a client came in to keep Pete busy.... and Bonnie and I made mad dashes to change into more suitable office/luncheon attire..... After the client left and Pete came out into the outer office, he was much relieved to see the change ......
This is the dessert BonBon and I shared..... Mmmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm GOOD!!! And Pete not being much of a chocolate lover..... didn't have any at all..... He doesn't know what he was missing!!!
We had a great lunch and great time reminiscing our previous hours of planning and surprising Pete....... We really had him thinking he was taking us out to lunch in those outfits...... And BonBon and I spent much of our morning giggling and enjoying every moment of his discomfort at the thought of appearing in public with the two of us......I think this is a day he won't soon forget.... although I'm sure he'd like to ......By the time we headed back to the office.... we were so full and TIRED.... we tried to talk Pete into letting us sit in the car awhile and take a nap.... but that didn't work..... Time to get back to work...... Thanks, Pete, not only for taking us to lunch...... BUT also for being such a great boss and good sport.....
