Well, as I do every Friday (unless, of course, I have it off work), I am thanking God it's Friday! The holidays have passed and it is back to the grind. The last two months had been filled with 3 and 4 day work weeks because of the holidays and vacation days so I am back on the schedule of loving (and sometimes living for) Fridays on these long 5 ( Read more... )

Hip, Hip, Hooray! Hip, Hip, Hooray! Today is the last day of work for me until next Tuesday. Hip, Hip, Hooray! These past few weeks at work have been tough. Between dealing with the enormous workload and then dealing with some co-workers that have some serious issues, I am in desperate need of a break. Five long, glorious days off!

I just want to say thanks to Nicole, who helped little me customize my live journal page! It would not have happened w/out her as I am computer illiterate when it comes to setting up websites, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
