I usually hate Mondays, but I couldn't help but be in a good mood today, despite how exhausted I was the entire time (thanks little baby!). And why? Because I have such great friends at work. I really do. One particular friend, Joy, whose name truly defines who/what she is--knowing how strong my love of lady bugs has become as of late--brought me back these ADORABLE chocolates after spending this past weekend in Oregon.
OMG...are they not the most darling little chocolate truffles you've ever seen? And they are just as delicious (if not more so) as they are cute. As you can see, they come in a box of six and I fought the urges--all day--to devour them all. But I was a very good girl and I have enough to last the entire week. God, please give me the strength. Thanks so much, Joy! You're the best.
Speaking of Joy and good friends--she and I share a common friend, my best friend Chrissy! And it just so happens that Chrissy will be visiting us this weekend. She'll be staying with me and helping me get this nursery started--or at least just cleaned out so that I can get it started. I love having visitors, so I can't wait!
Aside from getting these chocolates and working all day (well, sitting in boring briefings all day long), it was a typical Monday, but not a manic one. It was, to be honest, rather uneventful, but still long enough to tire me out! I definitely don't foresee it getting better in the coming weeks!Before heading in to work, I was able to mail out my April package to Malu. His packages have been getting to him in a week's time, on average; which means he'll be getting the cool DVD that a friend made of our baby shower. It's not the same slide show that I posted, but it has all the same pictures and music. Since email is hit or miss with this guy, I know he'll finally enjoy seeing pictures of me and the family. I can't wait until he gets it. Of course the mentioning of my hubby makes me want to post another flashback photo of the guy. Hey, you have your husband deploy back-to-back and I'm positive you'd do the same thing!
Finally, on a total random note, it hailed this afternoon and I'm so glad I thought to put the Jeep Commander in the garage last night. I have the windows open right now and it smells like it's going to rain. Gotta love El Paso weather! Well guys, good night! I'm hittin' the sack!
