Work At Home Wife

So tomorrow is my 1st official day to work from home. I am very excited to say the least! I made a trip to office depot today to purchase a few things (I know I'm a dork but I still love "school supply" shopping. I missed the annual clinic beach trip this weekend but knowing that tomorrow and from now on I can stay in my pjs makes it pretty worth it. Wish me luck tomorrow on my 1st day:)

Happy Easter!

Tonight is the 1st MLB baseball game so Lee has the TV tonight. I decided to update my blog while I had the chance. I hope everyone had a great Easter! Ours started off early. We thought church was at 8:30 instead of 8. We rolled into the church parking lot around 8:25 and saw the sign that church was at 6, 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00. We decided to go through a car wash since my car despirately needed a bath and then come back. So we went through a car wash and onlyh had enough for the express wash...no wax, no dry. Oh well. It killed a little time. We got back to church and got a little breakfast there. They serve buiscuits, donuts, and cookies every Sunday (yummy). After that we headed back home and waited for Lee's parents to come have lunch. We met my parents and his at Logans for a yummy luch including their delicious mac n cheese. After that we came back to our house and Easter would not be complete without a basket full of candy. Lee's parents still send us Valentines candy and Easter baskets but we don't mind one bit. I have a slight tummy ache from too much candy. My afternoon has been spent muncing on Jelly Belly's and watching Mary Poppins and Sound of Music. Both are on ABC Family. I hope everyone had a great Easter!

I got 2 aprons for Christmas this year. I wanted to start cooking more so I wanted to do it style with some cute aprons. Lee wondered why I wanted aprons as I don't normally cook (according to him but that has changed lately). The one that I am modeling in the pic below has my initial on it. The next meal I cook, I will wear the other one which is a cute toile print. Both of them get good use now as I cook every night of the week (sometimes excluding Friday and Saturday).

Weather change and Twilighting

Ok so it went from



...to



...in one week. I have to admit I like the snow every now and then but I am thoroughly enjoying the sunshine today. I was very happy to put on my short sleeved tee today. This morning I met Lori at The Waffle House for breakfast and then Starbucks was calling my name and I still had money left on my giftcard to use. I am now taking a break from relaxing outside to post a pic of the pups from today. Mason finally settled down from running back and forth in the yard to let me take his pic. While they were napping, Lee has been golfing and I have been reading Twilight. I know I'm a little behind. I was a late bloomer with Harry Potter and now this. I am not far into the first book but I can't put it down. I had clothes that I needed to put in the dryer but I thought hey that can wait...just one more chapter and then it got to be three more chapters later...and the chapters aren't that short. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I woke up this morning to a sweet card and a box of reese cups from me sweet hubs. Tonight I am cooking dinner for him. The menu will consist of baked ziti, garlic bread, and chocolate chip cheesecake for dessert. He has been on a diet so tonights meal will definitely throw that out the window but everyone's gotta splurge every once in while right? Anyway the weekend has been great so far. It started with Friday's snow day. I don't have a lot of pics...just a few of the pups. I got of work around 2:30 and had to scrape the windshield of my car with a cardboard box so I could see to drive home. I got home and played with the pups outside. Mason cought snowballs and Bella ate the snow. I relaxed with a nice cup of hot chocolate afterwards. We had movie night and watched The Hangover which is hilarious. Saturday, Lisa and I went to see Valentine's Day which is pretty much like Love Actually if you've seen that. It was really cute. That night we went to see Baby James. He is such a cutie. He opened his eyes a few times while we were there but mostly slept. He was a week old yesterday. This afternoon, I cleaned (no fun) which I usually do on Friday but the snow was an exception. I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!

The Job

As I type this post, I am about to fall asleep...at 8 pm. This week has been long but I love my new job. I'm not doing the same thing everyday and I feel like I am accomplishing something each report I type. I had orientation on Monday. It was actually fun as we played games and competed for Visa gift cards even though our group didn't win. I miss the girls at the clinic and it's not the same without the funny stories from Lisa everyday. I'll just have to hear them on our next movie date (she said we have to go to the movies at least once a month which can get expensive-the hospital does give us movie tickets on our birthday though!). Tomorrow my QA editor is coming in to train me. I'm a little nervous as I've heard she has somewhat of a "military" personality. Wish me luck!

So today marked the end of a decade. My last day at work. 10 long years! I'm sad that I'm leaving the girls. I've made some really great friends while working there and I'm going to miss all the stories and inside jokes. I won't be too far though-just across the street. Today went by pretty fast. We usually leave early on Fridays anyway though. After work we went to Laredo's. The boss even chipped in money to buy us a round since he couldn't attend. It hit me when I got home and the tears started flowing. I know I won't stay gone too long though...I have to go pick up my paycheck next week!
