Open Letter

Dear Blog and Friends who Read my Blog,

I am sorry for my extended absence of late. I do not know why this happens, but I seem to be incredibly busy and yet non-productive lately. However, I have many random snippets of updates to share. And since we all know how much I love a good list, here goes:

1) My new job is still really challenging and still very busy, but I really do love it. Every day, I feel like I understand a little bit more and that there is hope that, one day, I will actually know how to do the job.
2) We got "early release" today, so I only had to work until about 12:30. YAY!
3) I have been cleaning and organizing pretty much constantly, although you'd never know it to look at the place. I have discovered that I need more furniture, specifically STORAGE and WORKSPACE.
4) This is all OK, because WE FINALLY PICKED OUT THE TABLE SAW!! And, JoeD paid for it, AGAIN. Which means that the money he gave me for the saw before can go to other things, which should probably be "savings," but instead, turns out to be "scrapbooking supplies". YES!
5) I love television. I am really hopelessly addicted to it, which again, is OK, because:
6) Last week, one of my co-workers hosted a "FRIENDS" trivia party, which was exceptionally fun. Here is a pic of my team wearing the t-shirts we made. I printed the decals out the night before and we ironed them on and made the sign during my lunch hour. Hee!
7) Boston Market prepared our Thanksgiving feast this year, and if you think that's ridiculous, just imagine trying to prepare your own Thanksgiving feast for 4 adults and one typical 3-year old and you'll know why we chose to have the Boston Market do the work. I would rather prepare a meal for 40 than for 4. At least you get some scale there.
8) The mirror from the baby shower is finished and it's here: http://www.starglazers.com/ - click on "examples" and it's the 3rd one. I think it turned out great! What a pheomenal idea from Jenn-Dub!!
9) I know I end up saying this a lot, but I really do think I have the best friends in the world and I'll be thinking of each and every one of you over the holiday weekend!
Love,
-Erin
