Finally!

Ok ok ok!

I'm sorry, I haven't updated. I'm a terrible person! :-)

Things have been hectic since I've recuperated and returned to work.

Tuesday nights we've got softball (PEM plays, I cheerlead...lol), Wednesday nights is darts (we finally won a couple of games!!), Thursdays-Saturday, I'm typically working. So, Sunday is clean house day and Monday is the only day that I can rest...or more often than not...meet the girls for dinner or something.

Work is busy but good. I've been trying to get used to my new smaller space and extra workload. I have an office-mate, and will continue to do so until we move to a larger office building (not holding my breath). We merged with another small company, so we are squished in once again. It's annoying, but we are making the best of it and forming new and different relationships.

This Friday we are having a staff meeting, followed by a cocktail/meet-greet hour. Time to get to know our co-workers - particularly the new ones that work in a separate building from some of us.

It's going to be interesting. We have a new company name, that will be pushed to the public at the beginning of the year.

PEM is doing well. Working too much as usual. Add to the schedule I put out there for myself...on Mondays and Thursdays he umpires. So, we're pooped a lot. BUT, we get to enjoy each other when we can and we take full advantage of our down time.

Hope all is well.

Winter blues

This past week has been rough. Last Friday, I got into work early so I could leave early. Then drove to Montgomery to Casino. I finally got home around 430am. Then worked again Saturday. Sunday, instead of Super Bowl watching, we played cards. The game was on in the background.

Sunday, I also started getting sick. I guess it was time. I hadn't really been sick this winter. Ugh. Cough, sore throat, fever, chills - the first and second day. I'm down to just the cough now, but it is ANNOYING. Trouble sleeping (it's not even 5 am right now) with this cough is NOT helping.

Other than that, things are ok. I sold my little white car and have been able to pay a big chunk back to my ex-father-in-law. Work is ok, interesting, really. We've hired a tenth employee. Now, four of the offices are doubled up with people. One employee is working in the "kitchen" with the fridge and the main computer. And me, up front with the fax, water cooler and of course all of the foot traffic. We are in desperate need of a larger space, and hopefully something will be done about it soon! (before we all go looney)

I'm working this weekend and then on Sunday I'm having a TOY PARTY!!! :-) I've NEVER been to one and here I am hosting one. There will be about 20 girls, we will have a chocolate fountain (a friend is lending it to me), all the stuff to dip in it (bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, cheesecake bites, etc), and a couple of other snack-y type foods. I'm looking forward to it!!!

On a personal note, my friend Joe - who lived with us (Corey and me) on two separate occasions - is getting married on February 29. Unfortunately, since it's on a Friday, I won't be able to go down for it, which stinks, but I'm very excited for him. He is the youngest of three boys and the only one to get married.

Well, I'm tired. I'm going to try to get some sleep.
