Picking at weeds and dog poop

Yes, that is how I spent my afternoon. I'm not a yard worker. I should live somewhere where I don't have to maintain a yard. I don't have a lot of patience for it and whenever I try to grow something, it dies.

But I still did pull the weeds, bag them, and then picked up the dog's mess. It was a nice day to be outside. The sun wasn't beating down on me. I'm tired now... I think I deserve a nap.

T.G.I. Friday!

It's been such a great Friday! First, we started off the day with one of our "breakfast" meetings. Every month there is a birthday in our department, we all gather at a location of the birthday celebrant's choice. Today was I.H.O.P., which is actually a first since I've worked in the department. It will probably be the last too. The food was great, but afterwards, they sang an embarrassing song really really loud for the entire restaurant to hear. Our birthday celebrant's face was so red. We enjoyed it though.

So we come to work and we're pretty useless on a Friday with full stomachs.

But then the greeter calls my boss and tells her there is a delivery at the front for our department. Who would deliver something for us? So we find this:
A cookie bouquet from our VP. Isn't she so sweet? We didn't even know what we did. She was just thanking us for all of our hard work. Wow! No wonder I love coming to work everyday. No, not because of the cookies and breakfasts, but because I work with a wonderful group of people. They are such a blessing.

So from here, I will try to continue on the afternoon and make it through to 5.

I think I shall return...

Although my fingers are still numb and hurting (not due to excessive blogging or anything), I've decided to come back! Today we had our annual Easter egg hunt. My fingers hurt from tying balloons, but I think after 3 years of doing it, I'm officially a pro. The church was filled with children today. It was so amazing. Diamond was able to be up on stage to sing and help out with the guests. She was so excited about that and really thrilled about her new cool shirt they provided for them. And thank the Lord we made it through without any rain!

So, some things have changed since the last time I blogged. Maybe I'll get to blog about them later. But for now, I'm headed off to the kitchen table to eat some of the spaghetti squash I made for lunch. If you've never tried it before, it's so yum yum to the tum tum and tastes just like spaghetti but way way better for you!
