THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

Hello and I apologize for my absence! This week was the dreaded "MONTHLY REPORT" week. This is a major part of my job and it actually takes one week to complete! (No kidding!)  Mountains of paper print at 12:00 midnight on the second (or third) day of each month. I then have to "shuffle" these papers and send them out to people who probably don't care about them or even look at them. I send approximately 700 pieces of mail out. That's a lot of paper shuffling!!! Instead of "playing" for an hour when I get to work early each day, I started working on the report. That's why I haven't posted since Tuesday. It's done now so I can breath a sigh of relieve, at least until April 1 (April Fool's Day!)

I actually had a wonderful week, once I got  home each night. One night I came home and had two surprises; one was a post card telling me I get a free cup of Starbuck's coffee since it's my birthday (March 14.) The other was a pink change purse I received from Brighton. My DH celebrated his 25th year at work and they gave him a brochure to pick out a gift. He didn't see anything he wanted so he gave it to me. I picked out a beautiful Brighton purse. Once I sent in the warranty card, they sent me a lovely little pink purse. I will post a pic another time.

Then the next day I came home and received a wonderful surprise from my dear friends in Germany, Mandy and Thomas. They remembered my birthday (March 14) with a beautiful necklace - and it was my favorite color - RED! I was so surprised and excited. I will take a picture of it when I'm wearing it and post this weekend. They also sent a cute little card with a shamrock and a lady bug on it! I think I'll frame it and keep it on my desk at work so I can think of them whenever I look at it!

I was also thrilled last night when I came home and received a lovely thank you note from my Aunt Elaine. She loved the hat I made for her and she said it looks beautiful on her! I'm so happy she liked it!

So all in all, it was a great week - once I got home! Ha-ha!! Unfortunately I didn't make it to knitting last night because I was so worn out with work and all the excitement at home! :  )

Until the next time...........
