Yesterday I was the very excited recipient of the first package of a Harry & David Fruit of the Month Club!! I've wanted to get one for so long and just haven't felt like it was a good idea to send it to myself. Don't ask me why - I don't know. It's just not the same.
Anyway. My Elves were kind enough to fulfill that wish for me this Christmas.
Last Christmas, they gifted me with the mother of all toaster ovens, which I had mentioned would be really nice to have. Not that I requested the superdeluxe model that takes the food out of the fridge and cooks it for you, but that's what they gave me.
I love my Elves. And not just cause they give me good stuff - that's a bonus. Needless to say the elves are Kellie, David and Kathy. I meant to lavish more heaps of praise on them, but I see it's past time to get ready for work.
OH - I moved into the new work digs on Monday, but that can wait a day or two.

New Profile Pic
Okay - so I totally stole my new profile pic from Kellie's blog! I think it's just a really good picture of me. David, I'm sorry I cropped you out of it, but - sorry to say - after 3 IMAX movies in a row, you were looking a little... shall we say... tired?

Now, if I would only do pictures!!!
Got my cool new background... starting to actually put some thoughts in here... now I just need to do this in the evenings, rather than in the mornings so I'll have time to add some pictures!
"Reading" Scriptures
Ever since Kellie and I decided we'd read scriptures together - well, okay - virtually together - I've been a lot more regular about my reading. Okay - I've been reading regularly. Period. It just makes a difference to have someone reading (sort of) with you.
I have, however, lately taken to having them read to me. I go to the scriptures at lds.org and I can just listen to my heart's content. It's different to hear the words, as I'm reading them. I think it impresses them more firmly in my mind.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was wonderful!
My brother David, his wife Susannah and daughter Anna came to stay with me a couple of days and my sister Ginny and her husband Kendall took up residence at the local Hyatt Place.
We visited a lot, I got to cook a huge meal that was really pretty good, and it was just a good time, all around.
Kendall installed a couple of fans and did a couple of other odd jobs for me which kept him busy and out of trouble while the rest of us visited. He was happier that way and it just tickled me to death!
We were all very thankful for family and the tons of blessings we all have.

The View from Georgia has been a bit dark, lately. After months of procrastination and waffling back and forth, the powers that be finally gave us the drop dead date for the removal of our office from Alpharetta to Buckhead. This coming Friday is it.
We’ve all been purging files and packing what we can’t bear to part with. As a relative newbie, I don’t have as much stuff to go through as a lot of my co-workers.
On the bright side, the new offices are just that - new; so we won’t have to live with the retro 80s décor of this building. I will also have a window next to my desk, which is a decided improvement. It’s just really difficult getting past the fact that I now live ¾ of a mile from my office and beginning Monday, I’ll get to travel 23 miles to work on the infamous parking lot known as GA 400. Or not. I’ve been looking at options and it may be that ignoring 400 and taking local roads might be better. But it still is more than ¾ of a mile.
I’m sure I’ll adapt. I’ve tried every way I know to transfer to another part of the company that’s staying in this building, to no avail. Apparently, there are things I need to learn from a daily commute that I’m not learning now.
