One week down

Well, it's Sunday night and I'm watching the Oscars and blogging on my new laptop, all while I am sitting in the hangover chair. No, I don't have a hang over, but it's the most comfortable seat in the house. I love sitting here, typing about my day and week. I have the heat on, so it feels great on my lower back. I'm about ready to turn on the vibration, but this just feels so good.

I finally had time this afternoon to learn a few Jazzercise songs. I think I over did it though, I have 4 new ones to put in tomorrow, so I just went over the music and the routines in my head before I started blogging. This is usually a Sunday night ritual.

I had a great first week at McGraw-Hill, oh speaking of laptop, it came from MGH. It was all ready for me on Monday when I started. I have never had a laptop needed for work, so I'm feeling kind of special. At least I know I can work from home if needed. This is one good thing, but the bad thing is, I can take work home with me and I don't like to work if I don't need to. But I guess if it's what I have to do, then so be it. I got my first check this week, well kind of, I was suppose to get paid Thursday, but for some reason it wasn't in my bank account, so I decided to wait until Friday just in case and I could also ask the other new girls if they got their check, well I asked and the did, so I had to take it a few steps further. I had to call the payroll dept. and they said it should have been sent to my bank.. well, it didn't and come realize the bank number I put in was missing a digit! oops.. I'm not sure who's fault, because I thought you had to enter the number twice, but anyway, we found it so hopefully it will be there tomorrow or Tuesday. I wasn't really expecting it, so it wasn't that big of a deal. I know I'm getting is, so it's all OK. Speaking of money, Tom told me that we are to be getting our bonuses this week or early next week. That means we are getting our yearly bonus and our Feb. (stay pay) bonus. The ones we have been getting if we meet our numbers. So the next couple of weeks will be nice :)

This week should be normal at work. No more free lunches for a while, so I have to start packing it again. This is better, because I was eating way too much lately and it's showing! I really need to stop eating so much, summer is coming! I don't think I will be able to fit into any of my clothes. Oh, gee, enough about that!

We had a great weekend, Friday night we went up to mom and dad's for fish and onion rings. Chris, Kristi and they boys came us as well as Grandma. The fish was delicious. Saturday, I had to teach Jazz in the morning at 8:45 for Shelley, who was out of town, then we sat around all afternoon until I got a text from Chris telling me that Justin was in the championship basketball game so Tom and I decided to go out and watch. They didn't win, but it was nice to watch. After the game we back to Chris and Kristi's house and we grilled out hamburgers and chicken breast. It was so nice to sit and relax and have a few drinks with them. I'm so happy they met each other. They are awesome together and they way they communicate with the boys is unbelievable. I don't know how they do it, but I think they were definitely brought into this world and met the way they did for a reason!

Tonight, we invited Tom and Linda up for supper. We had a big roast that we stuck in the crockpot along with potatoes and carrots. It was so good. Mom and dad stopped by for a drink before they went to Grandma's for supper.

Another great weekend, next weekend, we are off to Davenport for the big "campers" weekend at the steeple gate! We, Chris, Kristi and Tom and I, are going Saturday morning. It should be fun. No kids so we never know what's going to happen. Ta Ta for now! I'm going to finish watching the Oscars and go to bed early.
