My co-worker Shelley and I went over to see her friend who works in the Sunlife building today. We were on the 8th floor and I was able to get this great shot :-)

I cant even imagine how lucky she is to have this as her view every day at work.

"The Love List"

We had our Christmas party last night for Kingsway at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre.

Here is what it was about:

She’s a perfect ten…or is she? What happens when two men get together and write up a list of ten qualities defining the perfect woman? Much to their surprise, she suddenly appears! Is she real? Is she someone’s idea of a practical joke? This hilarious comedy gives a wildly comic spin to the quest for perfection. Be careful what you wish for!

It was the best dinner theatre I have been to. Normally when we go here it is some 50's, 60's or 70's music but this was so different and very enjoyable :-)

Thanks Dr Haymour :-)

"The BOYS are back home"

So, Hal has had the cats since the beginning of January. I thought it would be good for them to be with him for awhile.

He brought them home today b/c he is off to Vegas tomorrow.

It didnt take long for these 2 boys to be back in there comfort zones .. they found "their" spots right way :-)

Here is Paws putting a bigger dent into the top cushion of the couch and CJ hiding behind the curtain ... you can see Paws pointing to CJ behind the curtain - lol

The girls at work bought me this scale and Shelley did up a price list for mailing.

I always walk around asking everyone how much they think my mail weighs. LOL

I guess this is my hint they dont want me asking them anymore .. hee hee hee

It will come in very handy.

I mail alot out to my scrappy buddies :-)

Feb 18/09

I did this and left it on a co-workers desk. We were in a meeting today and he totally threw me and my co-worker under the bus in front of our boss and our consultant.

You can see him in the drivers seat, the boss and consultant as passengers. Please note the bus driving over Shelley and myself. Also note how happy he (the driver) is.

When he saw this he burst out laughing and said he was going to keep it. He thinks it is pretty darn funny to make us look bad in front of the boss .. NERD!

All I have to say about that is "Pay back is a bitch!" LOL

Feb 17/09

I had to remember to bring my camera to work today to get a pic before I had to take it all down. I didn't have it on Friday. I got to work Friday morning and my cubie was decorated by my co-workers for my b-day :-)

Getting ready for the big crop on the 13th. I bought this scrap bag a couple years ago and this is the 1st time I am using it. I really need to get organized. I sometimes hate going to crops b/c I just wanna take everything. My strategy last year and I am doing again this year is to be organized before I go. I have all my project planned out and now need to get everything together. Should be a blast :-)

Some days I feel like there is way to much hockey stuff in my house! These were all at my front door which I made Justin take to the back door. Why does 1 teenage boy need 9 hockey sticks???

Feb 3/09

Today was the big day.

Treadmill pick up day :-)

My sister and I went to Sears to get it and the guys loaded it up. It looked very heavy so I asked him how much it weighs .. he said like $200 lbs. I thought that was ok .. we could do it. It took 4 of us to bring it into the house. I am pretty darn sure it weighs more then 200lbs .. more like 500 lbs.

YAY .. now to get it together (insert rolling eyes here) lol

I put in a grievance at work March 2007 because the gov't decided that my position was not what is should be and I was declassified and it is still going on!

I had a meeting today with HR and they informed me that it could take another 2 - 12 years to be settled.

This is all the paperwork I have to go through constantly!

I am sooo annoyed with this whole process.

Such a crock - o - sh*t!!
