A Quick Update

So, it's been quite a while and for that I apologize.  I've been so distracted that I haven't taken the time to write to you & let you know about the things going on in my life.

I'm not going to take a lot of time here but I figured a quick update would assure you all that I'm still alive and doing ok.

My husband & I decided to adopt a pair of green cheek conures.  We've named them Booth (born on 01/01/11) & Bones (born on 01/04/11) and they're pretty well bonded and seem to enjoy being around us (for the most part).  The dogs are very excited and for the 2 "incidents" we've found that they would be more than happy to make them a snack.  It's kind of stressful but pretty cool since birds are one of the animals that I've secretly harbored an interest in owning & working with.  They can be expected to live 20 to 30 years although with proper care can live up to 40 years!  Isn't that amazing?!

Anyway...  They're all sitting at home with my husband while I'm here at work.  I volunteered for this holiday because an email was sent out announcing that if nobody volunteered for it then people would be selected at random.  I'd rather volunteer for a late shift than be chosen for the early shift.  It's just so much easier.

I hope this post finds you all well.  Happy Memorial Day!

Thursday Already?

Just a quick post today to let you know that I'm ok.  Ha!  That rhymes.  I love when I rhyme without meaning to.  For whatever reason, it always makes me giggle.

I hope you're all doing well.  I know that I haven't been posting regularly on Love Every Day but I hope to get better & more consistent with it.

Wow. It's already Thursday. The days of this week seem to completly drag but when I wake up in the morning I feel surprised that it's closer to the end of the week.

One of my co-workers has been having trouble with her car. She got a flat tire the other day on her way home from work, then her spare went flat then yesterday the spare went flat again & she couldn't fill it at all. She brought it somewhere to have it fixed (apparently it was off the rim or something?) and came in to help at work for a few hours.

I've been invited to be a part of a project at work to get everyone in Operations some product training. I'm so psyched and have another meeting tomorrow to make sure we have all of the products that people want/need training on and get a "plan of attack" for how to get this accomplished. I've been so busy at work this week that I haven't had time to get my list but luckily, I've been thinking about this for a while and have most of it written down or in my head so all I need to do is organize my thoughts.

Well, I've got to get to work in a few so I've got to go. I'll write again soon!

Have you heard?

I've started a new blog called Love Every Day.  I'm attempting (failing, mostly) to post something every day that made me smile or laugh the day prior.

I hope that from what I have posted, you have been enjoying my posts.  I'm trying to include a photo every day as well.

My baby brother is 21.  His birthday was yesterday.  It's so hard to believe that he's 21 already!  I remember holding him as a baby, watching him pose for a photo with his new glasses & glasses case, watching him run outside and play with the neighbor boy, watching him with his first video game experience and then suddenly, he was 16 and driving and then 18 and graduated high school and now he's 21 and can drink!  Where did the time go?

If I feel this way with my brother, how will I feel with my children??  Wow.

I guess that's about all that's going on.  I hope you'll take a moment to support my new blog and share it with your friends.  We all need a pick-me-up every day.
