hey hey hey!!! Good morning, my lovely Ooos!
It's a wonderful start to the day here looking at everyone's holiday/pre-party avatars. It will take getting used to, matching names to new pics., even my own
How was everyone's day? It was awfully cold and damp here. We had a snow squall around lunchtime but it didn't stick. It didn't look pretty either, it was blowing down sideways from the wind. When I was out with the dogs, I was saying to myself, "What in the world were you thinking, taking a job outside in the winter??"
But then I remembered that I wasn't dressed to be outside. I got all of the paperwork for payroll set up and it's official. Anne called to tell me my pay rate and that I can accrue sick days. I never had a job that had sick time, even as a preschool teacher when you really need it the most!
I know it is really silly, but Weis sent out an end-of-the-month newsletter yesterday and my name is now listed under Staff.
Chris is pretty common but I checked the website and there isn't another Chris listed so it has to be me *G*
That gave me an idea for a gift-- I am asking for insulated waterproof hiking boots. The ones I have are waterproof but are not insulated so anything to keep my feet warm is a bonus. Not to mention I met a woman at Coloring Crew who loves to hike and we might meet up to hike together. She hikes in the snow so I am going to have to get myself out there and more used to it one way or the other.
I spent most of the day catching up on stuff, paid bills, and made my mammo appt for next week. I was going to start baking but I didn't have shredded coconut. I simply didn't have it in me to run out for it.
I cannot believe how fast November flew by. I have *got* to get myself together with gift ideas for the extended family. What in the world do you get people who need or want nothing? Last year, I made homemade biscotti and tarallis for my parents. Maybe some other food item... As for my ILs, not even a tiny clue.
I am cleaning for my friend this afternoon so should have some time to poke around Pinterest for ideas. I'll take any and all suggestions you might have.
xoxoxoxo!
