Cory started his new job at Comcast last week and loves it! He will be in training for the next 2 months and then free to move about the company. Of course the best part (other than the regular paycheck) is that we now get every channel and it is free! That means when I am looking at the guide and I see something I want to watch- I can click it and watch it instead of clicking on it and getting the sad black screen telling me I don't have the channel. Plus, we upgraded our internet from 4 somethings to 8 somethings that makes it a lot faster for uploading and some other stuff. I think Cory is a little more excited about this one than me (except that our internet is only $10/month) because he knows what it all means.
My job is still going. I have been appointed the "Team Building Coordinator" so I get to organize the department Trick or Treating next week, decorate the department, create trivia games for meetings, and find other random things that I can have the team do while at the same time, making me look amazing because I care so much! Plus I will now be leading a new team made up of members from all of the other processing teams to create team building across all of the TA department. Woo-hoo for me. :o)

Wedding Pictures
I just really like this one!
What an amazing couple!!!
Yeomans side- There certainly are a lot of us now!
Us with the grandparents
Butler/Fanelli Family pictureI figure I should just do a few each time so I can show off my favorites!!! I can't get the Prins Family picture to load right so I will try next time. I hope you like them. Cory's brother is going to make copies of the cd's if anyone wants to see all of the pictures.

1306
What is the signifigance of 1306? That is the number of wedding picture that we have! Eight CD's with all of the pictures from the wedding. We have 286 prints of the best ones and our present from Drew and Juliana (the photographers) was a framed print of our hands with my flowers on my dress. It is amazing!!! I am going to try to load up some of the pictures so they are available to look at. Cory's brother is going to make some copies of the CD's too. I might try to pick out some of the best and load to one or two discs to share if anyone wants copies. Anyway, I am soooo excited to have them and they really are great! I can't wait to share them!

I think I figured out the picture thing!
I think I finally figured out how to load pictures- (inspired by Ken and Vicky's blog!). Cory showed me a while ago so I thought I would finally try it. Brenda sent me some wedding pictures and I love this one. Hope it works! I will post some more over the weekend!Happy almost Friday!
I just need to vent a little bit!!! So I had to take time off to go to the doctor this morning so I have been working extra time all week to make up the hours. I decided since I was going to the doctor, I would just hit up the social security office to start the name changing process. So I have a great morning, traffic is in my favor and I get to the doctor a few minutes early. Plus I get to go back right away and the doctor actually comes in so I don't have to wait. And to make it even better, I talk her out of having to draw blood at this visit! Although the downside was getting a flu shot, since I didn't cry, I got to pick out my own bandaid- Daffy Duck rocks! We get everything squared away I think (crazy amounts of stuff to take and some are 3 times a day, one just in the morning, one just at night but with food, and who knows about the other two!).
I leave and find the social security office on the first try and then......I wait. And wait. I got my number at 9:30. I was supposed to be back at work (about 30 minutes away) at 11:00. I was slightly optimistic since I was having a great day and there were two windows open. But then...one window closes- down to one person working. So we all waited. Then the lady came back and opened her window.....and the other lady left. So we waited more. Now that an hour has passed I have to call in and see if I can miss more time. My boss ok's the time to be late but now I have to stay late. Finally a second window opens and my number gets called- 2 hours after I walked in. I sat at the window for less than 5 mintues but at least now I am on my way to being Mrs. Butler on paper!
The rest of the day maintained a high level of dissatisfaction and I definitely did not enjoy staying until 6:00. Obivously too much venting would likely violate some sort of security issue but all I know is that I am smarter than every financial advisor I spoke to today and there are a lot of people out there that need to learn how to be nicer to people!
Plus.....I am the "social director" of my team and there is a birthday tomorrow. So now it is way past my bedtime (it is just after 10) and I have to wait for the cake to bake and I was trying to be nice to Cory (since I never made the frosting for the sugar cookies) and make him some brownies. Probably should have noticed before starting that the brownies take almost an hour to bake- ooops.
I guess that is enough for the day except that my back still hurts so I can't sleep through the night (at least I haven't for the last few weeks) so I am not seeing the point in going to bed.
On a positive note though- I have the world's best husband- who made me dinner and watched reruns of Law and Order and listened to all of my rambling and venting about my day and took a nice walk with me to help calm down from the earlier stuff.
