What brought you joy today? - Page 219

JAGG · 11-26-2011, 10:46 AM

I told my twin sister I wanted to do something fun for New Years, every year lately New Years has been real boring to me. Well unlike her, she kind of blew me off and acted like it would be a hassle, and too expensive with the kids etc. Whatever. Then out of the blue an old friend called me and talked me into flying out to visit her in Coronado for New Years. We are gonna golf and she has a big party planned on the beach for New Years eve. I have been really looking forward to it!!!
Still my sisters answers and behavior were in the back of my mind. Since she has so many in laws around, she and her wife, can always find someone to watch the kids. When I told her I was going to Coronado, she kept grilling me on the dates I'm flying out, and wanted to know am I still taking work off for our birthday etc. She was really starting to irk me acting like she was mad I was going away. I finally said hey what's up with the third degree? And she tossed me an envelope, and said happy birthday. I opened it up and it was our itinerary for Cancun 4 days and 3 nights at moon palace, on our birthday weekend!!!!!! I'm pumped!!!!!!! What a great birthday present!!! I was just going get her a new office chair. hahahaha Oh guess I better cancel my dentist appt.

Enjoy your birthday present!

Sharing a birthday can be annoying, yet, special at the same time. lol! Growing up, Zach and I bought each other a silly present. We tried to excel on how silly the presents could get each year - for our 21st he bought me a piece of pink paper and wrapped it up! Nothing written on it, just a blanke piece of paper! LOL! I gave him a bottle top! LOL!

We never had a birthday cake to share, we had cupcakes instead, so we didn't fight over the cake decorations, and friends and family would each hae some cake, lol!

I got to go to my first NCAA football game today

I watched as the Oklahoma Sooners trampled the Iowa State Cyclones 26-6. What made it even better is that I got to share the experience with friends and we had magnificent club seats under cover, which is a good thing because it rained. Overall, it was a great day

Passionaria · 11-26-2011, 08:09 PM

Going to the gym, coming home and "feeling" my muscles. As Martha Stuart says " it's a good thing".

Getting a call from an HR Recruiter... she complimented me on a "perfect " application and was thrilled that I found a way to remove the form protections in order to edit and expand the fields to fit everything ...she wants me to teach her how to do what I did so she can answer the many frustrated callers that can't work their application .... she complimented me on my experience and offered a wonderful vote of confidence. It made me excited .... and I felt less awkward about the process.... when I mentioned to my coworkers that I was going to apply... I was surprised to be greeted with many offers of references. Some of them from the Best in the business! It made me very humble and appreciated.

JustLovelyJenn · 12-12-2011, 07:57 PM
