Congratulations Gail, you're the winner of the Andrew Grant DIE TWICE giveaway. Andrew has been notified. Please allow up to four weeks to recieve your autographed copy of DIE TWICE.

Andrew Grant is Lee Childs' brother! You know, the author of the REACHER books I LOVE!

I was flying high!

Thursday was my stamp club.....these are the cards we made!









I was glad we made the 3" X 3" cards....I've signed up for a Thank You card swap made out of this size!

I gave my notice on Thursday too.
I think the twitch under my right eye is gone!

When I went to the staff room at coffee time, R the maintenance guy was there, and he said"What's this?"
(They already had my job posted.)
Me; "I gave my notice."
Now you have to know R.....he's pretty serious, straight face about almost everything, but WOW...I wish I woulda had a camera!
Me; "When we do the movie, you have to play yourself, for the facial expressions!"
And we laughed, cause he says that to me!
An example is here!

He was a little upset, wondered who he was going to talk to that wasn't an idiot, and who would they hire that had a handle on stuff, and still have compassion etc.!
I said, " Wow, the cutoff is December 9th, it's only posted internally, OMG, they're gonna stick me with some loser for 2 weeks!"
R; "Gail, you're talking out loud!"
We decided we couldn't see anyone working there already applying for the job, so I might be off the hook!
I'm really glad someone else will have to take down the decorations!

Yesterday, my friend P & I watched the fourth Harry Potter. Goblet of Fire!

Today we went to a craft sale in Dixonville, and then on to PR for shopping!
And shop we did, after buying a few things at the sale, and putting our name in for draws!

We got home, by 5:00pm, cause I'm the chauffer, and I'm not driving in the dark.....and stop at the Fields store, cause I wanted a stocking for S.
My friend J who sells Princess House is in there with her husband, and she says...;
"Here's the girl who said P come put your name in for these cause I want them!"
Me; "Did she win the pans?"
J; " No, you did!"
GAWD! Could I win the lottery or something!?


Better go, I gotta get my Christmas cards done sometime this weekend!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Doing a Happy Dance!

Hello everyone!
I've been having a great week so far!
Went to the wine & cheese thingy at the $ store Friday night!
I won the basket!


Lots of fun stuff in there!
Sunday the Friends of the Library went out to dinner with Lesley the Librarian.
She's moving at Christmas.
Then we went to the movie fundraiser for the library.
Saw Charlie St. Cloud.
It's a gooder! A feel good movie....sort of.

Monday I got Happy Mail, from Brenda Weaver at Sweet Paper Treats!
Can't wait to play!




Today I got these!
OMG! Some pretty awesome ones in there!
These were the Halloweenie ATC's , my first ATC swap I participated in!
Pretty cool I thought!




I've been decorating at the OFH.
Uhhhg!
I can't climb up and down the ladder like I used to!
The tree will get up tomorrow!
I put it up, and tell the residents it needs to be decorated by the time I come the next morning.
And actually it's breakfast club Friday this week, so that's earlier that usual!

BUT.......that's a big BUT!
I went to my other job around 5:30 to do payroll.
The boys have been overwhelmed with stuff, and to top it off , the safety girl hasn't been there since September.
D was pretty darn cranky, then his brother B came in.
The liquor is in a storage closet in my office.
I told D to go sit in the closet and come out when he was happy.
He's a big guy, I was sitting at my desk and he walks over, looks waaay down at me and said; "Ok Gail, you can have $2.00 an hour more, and give your notice."
I said, "Holy Moly, (or something), you really have had a rough day."

So I typed my notice up while I was there and will hand it in tomorrow.
I said that my last day would be the 22nd.
We have odd pay periods.

Then I told D that the internet told me not to be suprised if I got turfed when I gave my notice.
So I might see him tomorrow! I dunno!?

And the O/S is finally doing his course!
Naval communications.
Started November 22, and goes til March.
Then he gets assigned to a ship.
He's pretty pumped!
Then he'll be an Able Seaman!
He's also coming home for Christmas! Whooohoooooo!
His plane lands on December 23, and his sister will pick him up!
She's excited!

Tomorrow night is stamp club.
Friday P & I are watching the 4th Harry Potter!

Saturday I think a bunch of us are going to PR.
Christmas shopping etc.

Better go!

Ta ta for now!
