Happy Birthday to My Son David!

Happy Birthday Davey Do! I can't believe you were born 27 years ago!!! You have accomplished so much in your short time on this earth. Your Father and I are so proud of you and everything you've done. You are a very intelligent and handsome man. We know you will go far in this world! Have a wonderful day.

Now, to the important birthday; MINE! : ) Not really, after David was born, my birthday (March 14) became just another day. At this point, I don't even want to celebrate another year but I do want to celebrate another year closer to retirement!!! That's the way I look at it now; 10 more years until I can stop working!

Nothing earth shattering to write about today. I went to my knitting class, Beyond The Basics at Woolly Lamb last night and didn't accomplish too much on my wrap. I am taking it slowly so I do it right. I hope to have it completed before the end of March - and I will!! I'll post a picture of it all completed on April Fool's Day! (No foolin')

Happy last day of work for three weeks to my dear friend in Germany. I'm sure she's going to enjoy her time off! I wish her lots of sleep and relaxation!

Enjoy your day!

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...........
