Remember how I was so excited about being part time at work? I start back full time tomorrow. I had a co-worker who really wanted to go part-time. When he asked our boss, our boss said NO. This got me thinking -- I dont really have a serious NEED to be part time. I work part time because I was given that opportunity by another boss I had. So -- I did the good Samaritan thing. (i hope). I offered to give up my part-time position so that my friend would be able to work part time. I feel like its a win-win for both of us. I'm actually really happy about this because I realize that I am truly obsessed with my job most of the time. Work Work Work. But, its good for me I think.

I began a project today and ended it today. That's a big deal for me considering I'm usually the type to start something and never finish it. I have a lovely shoe collection and I really wasn't storing them properly. So, Michael and I went on a date last night to Lowe's -- bought some shelving units for my closet -- and today I started putting them together. In about 3 hours, I had put them together, cleaned out my closet, decided what shoes to keep and which to give to Good-Will & enjoyed every second of it. All total, I am donating about 9 pair of shoes -- and I am still left with about 40. I am truly blessed. I have a passion for footwear.

We are going skiing in 11 days. I'm really excited. Michael really isn't. He thinks he is going to died...or, break his leg. Both are possible -- lets just pray that doesn't happen.

That's all.

Possible? No, probable. One in six die skiing every year.

Also, 86% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Was the first statistic I gave part of that 86% or 14%?

I have the check and tax exempt copy. It's ridiculous that I haven't gotten this to you and I'm sorry. I've been meaning to give it to Patrick to give to you for over a month. No lie. Can I just do it the old fashion way and mail it to you?

You and Michael truly are perfect for one another. When we were teenagers I never thought he would have a shoe obsession. Have fun skiing! Where are you going?

Yay skiing. Boo work. What about Merritt-Pop? I'll take over if you pay me!

I wish I had that many shoes. skank.
You're very good at your job and I think it was a very nice thing you did for your friend. :) I love you!

I have no new news to update you on.
My life as a part time worker is uneventful.
and that makes it wonderful.

:( I miss you.

Peanut brittle is pretty wonderful, but the ability to wear non-stretchy pants again wins.

hey - while I'm thinking about it - after noon on Wednesday or Friday is usually good. Let me know if you need directions!

Except...I haven't really done anything today.
I will say --- i've come down with a cold/nasty stuff.

I began working part time last week. It is SO AWESOME. I work 8:30 - 12:30 every day. Then, i come home and i do Merritt-Pop things.

Then...i just hang out with Michael. I'm very happy to be able to do this at this point in my life. Its a much needed change from the 60+ hours a week that I was working before. And now! I'm actually HOME....and not in...Missouri.

_______

I put up our christmas tree last week. I was so excited b/c i didn't think miklm was going to let me get a tree --- and then he bought me one. Good boy!

_______

I'm watching a british TV show right now called QI. Did you know that apples float...but pears sink? I guess i knew that apples float because of bobbing for apples. But, never thought about pears. Interesting.

_______

Michael and I are really trying to get the word out about Merritt-Pop. Perhaps you have seen our page/group on Facebook? Don't forget that most everyone loves popcorn...especially gourmet popcorn. So, if you like popcorn -- or someone else you know likes popcorn. GIVE IT TO EM! (you can use our discount code: facebook10 to get 10% off if you want). www.merrittpop.com

I'm sitting at my desk wearing my new columbia fleece that i got last night. I love it. and i'm wearing my hood.

________

You know what is really interesting? (besides the face that pears sink in water).... Police scanners.

That's all, folks.

your welcome for the fleece! :)
