Another week begins...

As I drove to work this morning, big fluffy snow flakes were falling and the ground was already covered in a number of inches of white stuff. The efficient local workers already had the main roads cleared so driving was no biggy. If I didn't have all the files and stuff to bring in to work with me, I would have taken the train.

Now, in the evening, it is raining again and most of the nice snow has melted. *pout*

The day at the office was pretty typical, but it had a highlight. One of the guys from yesterday's class sent me an email, telling me how good he thought my presentation was, how informative, how well done my powerpoint was... very readable and to the precise. He said he learned quite a bit he hadn't known before. Wow... that really makes me feel good! I needed that. Needless to say, I passed the email on to my boss....

As usual on Mondays I left the office early. I stopped by a clothes store to check on something for Regina. I forgot to mention, but last Friday on my day off I went shopping and got some really nice pants and a blazer marked really down! The velour blazer only cost €9, down from €39! And I got a pair of jeans which fit fantastic marked down from €39 to only €7! I wore the blazer for my classes and when I stopped by to see Regina and the girls on Saturday (the class took place in their town), she saw the blazer and just HAD to try it on... and wanted to keep it! lol So today I checked if they had another one and they did!

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself.

Next week I put in for vacation from Monday to Wednesday, giving me a 5 day weekend! Since Regina works in a travel agency, she was looking for a trip I could possibly take, perhaps a wellness weekend. But we didn't find anything fitting. So, I'll probably just stay home and do things here.

Maybe I'll join in some carnival activities. The main events ARE taking place next Monday and Tuesday after all. It's at times hard to believe that I was once a carnival fanatic! I know I've reported about the German carnival traditions in the old JS, and how back in 1982 I was the towns carnival princess! Mabe I'll make a repost....

Anyway.... I want to thank Judy and Xanadu for making me their blogger friend!

It's a little "game" going on where you are to pick 8 people and announce them your special friend. They are then supposed to post a similar entry and also select 8 friends. And then put this label in the sidebar...


Sorry, but I can't pick JUST 8! I'll add the logo to my sidebar later... I want to make some layout changes soon so I'll wait until I get that taken care of first. Call it blog housecleaning! lol

Last night I was in bed by 09:00 pm and I think I'm going to go off already now, at 09:30 pm. The TV program is once again lousy so that makes it easier.....

See y'all in the mornin'!
