Work, Earrings and Happy Cookies

Another week has come and gone, and I figured it was time to give an update on several things going on. Work...well they changed my job and gave my job to the new girl. I have to say she seems to be doing one part of the job pretty good, the other part she still needs work at. How do I like my new job? Answer...I wouldn't know - I haven't started it. Everytime I go to start it an emergency comes up, that relates to my old job and I have to help handle it. the new girl isn't up to speed yet on how to handle situations like that. Now today I am really supposed to start my new job - I will keep you posted and let you know if that actually occurs.

Now for the birthday - my 40th birthday is only days away, and I feel every bit of those 40 years plus a couple more thrown in for good measure. I am down to the last few packages that my sister sent me. If you don't remember my sister sent me a box with 40 gifts in it, and I am to open one a day. Well so far a brief run down on some things that I have gotten...2 votive candle holders, a teddy bear, an outfit, 2 pair of earrings, a key ring, 2 little lulu videos, a baby huey video, a felix the cat DVD, the mystery doily thingy, 2 book marks and a very snuggly wrap - which will probable wear out before winter is here at the rate I am using it. Well that brings you up to date on some of the birthday gifts.

Last weekend was my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary - and it went very well. We all took finger food deserts, cookies, cream puffs, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and then my in-laws has a small buffet catered in. Well I took cookies to the celebration and the lady who was from the catering company asked me if I wanted to bake some cookies for a fund raiser they are doing next weekend. The funds go to the Christian Childrens Retreat, and every year they have a small type of carnival. They have arts and crafts stands set up, ususally an auction, a bake sale obviously - thats what the cookies are for. So during the coming week I need to make cookie dough so I can bake them all off by Friday morning.

On Friday morning I need to run the cookies to a church by my parents house so that they can be platted up. I know I am going to make snicker doodles (yes they are a happy cookie), sugar cookies, peanut butter blossoms, maybe chocolate chip cookies, and possibly oatmeal cookies (but I haven't decided). So this weekend I need to go grocery shopping so that I have all the ingredients that I need so I don't have to go run out to get everything.

Well I think that brings you up to speed on everything - shoot it brings me up to speed on everything. Well I need to go finish getting ready for work remember it is TGIF (Today God Is First). Have a very safe and blessed weekend. I will talk to you later.
