Where have I been?

I haven't posted in nearly two weeks. Where have I been? Right here....

We had some bad weather that slowed things down this past week. The government had two days with delayed start times of 2 hours late, so we observed those hours. It didn't really matter for me because I was able to maneuver through my slick streets and get to the office with no trouble at all. I did go in one hour late one morning because I prefer to drive in daylight when weather is lousy. These old eyes don't see too well.

We have been pushing ahead with the shutdown of the contract. The past 4 days I've been working on the paperwork to retrieve all company equipment from 315 people in the field. I think my temper tantrum was finally heard because I have had help with the physical assembling of the packages. In fact, my boss has spent two days putting boxes, etc. together and claims that she will finish making the other 111 over the weekend and they can go out on Tuesday. She did say that it really is hard work. (no kidding)

One nice highlight was dinner with my friend BJ at our favorite haunt, Sweetwater Tavern. For me it was a bit bittersweet because it was, more or less, the last time we will go out as 'single girls'. Her wedding is on the 27th of next month. She has planned it all herself and has everything in order. She's amazing. I'd be jumping out of my skin. She's even planned an exotic honeymoon with another wedding on that island. Isn't that romantic? I'm so happy for her because in my eyes, she deserves the best life. I can't wait for the wedding. I had ordered a gorgeous dress from Nordstrom online. When it came the sizing was off a bit. It is built for someone with a size minus double zero bustline. When I tried it on it was almost obscene. Just too much boob showing to suit me. I sent it back and was up a tree as to what to wear. Then good old QVC came to the rescue. I spotted a wrap around top in a gorgeous shade of fuscia and when it came it looked great and felt good on. I also bought a new necklace especially for the occasion which I will wear on that day. So now I'm ready.

Other than that, life here is hum-drum. Nothing stellar, but nothing really wrong. My arthritis is bothering me and the physical work that I had to do last week didn't help, but it will be ok once the weather warms a bit.

Wish I had more to say dear reader, but at this point no news is good news.

God bless you all.
