Our new toys

 So, once a year there comes a day when I am officially thanked for my efforts in a very busy and extremely demanding job (I wish type picked up sarcasm...). I believe it's now officially called Administrative Professionals Day. But I still like to call it Secretary's Day. This year my generous bosses took me and another secretary out to a very classy lunch (according to them) at the good ol' Olive Garden.
It was nice and I filled myself up on breadsticks as usual.
Then my boss (who's seriously the best ever) presented me with an envelope from the "Weber County Collections Dept"- yeah I know, hilarious. Inside the envelope was a gift card to one of my favorite stores: Roberts. And this is what I got:
Now, it may not look exciting to you but I have wanted this clip it up thing forever so I don't have to keep digging through a completely jam packed basket full of stuff. I love it- now I just need another one to hold the rest of my junk.
And then I decided to by myself my own little token of appreciation. I found this at Target and had to have it. I actually want to go back and get the whole set. So cute!
Oh yeah, one more thing. The Merrills finally broke down and bought a Wii. Yep, we are finally on that nerd wagon. :) My kids love it. Here are some funny pics I snapped of Zach playing it this morning. The kid cracks me up.

  1. Hey we're on the nerd wagon too! I think the wii is lots of fun.

    You amaze me. I wish I was half as organized as you were. If you saw the sorry location of my crafts you'd probably faint in disbelief. Way to BE!

  2. Now you need to buy the dance game for the wii so I can come over and play it and we can be nerds together. Josh sold ours on Ebay. ;(
    Lucky you to have a boss that's buys you food and junk.

  3. Oh,don't tell my kids. They beg for something, anything like a wii or playstation. The closest they have are the leapsters. I am too afraid that Chase and Zach would live on the thing. That's fun! He's got such cute facial expressions.

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
