Yep- I am sitting at home in my jammies, catching up on personal email/Facebook/MySpace/Blogs and getting paid for it- it never gets old! :o) Of course, it would have been nicer if I could have slept past 8:00am but it was sleeping in a little & at least I get the most of the day.
Other than that, just getting excited for my trip back to IOWA!!!! I will be back for the whole week and cannot wait! Since the trip will be over the first day I was scheduled to start classes, I pushed back my start date, will start in the B session of the summer semester, June 1. To stay on my path to graduate by the end of summer 2011, I will have to double up on a class somewhere. That may interfere with my education reimbursement amount so I may have to push my graduation back to the fall of 2011. Well worth it so I can come home and catch up with my family!!!
The sxcitement for my day.... trying out my new sewing machine! It came with an instructional DVD so I am hoping to be successful today with figuring out how to get the piece of cardboard out from under the foot/needle area. Once I get past that, the rest will be a piece of cake! I am also hoping that I got some of grandma's sewing abilities- I figure Brenda got her cooking skills from Grandpa so it is only fair that the gene fairy passes on sewing to me. :o) Please cross you fingers for me!
My other goal for the day is to make some dog treats. Steve & Paula gave me a cookie cookbook for Christmas and it has a recipe for dog treats so I figured I might as well try. The most expensive part of the recipe was the package of fresh mint- much cheaper that the bag of treats at the pet store. If it turns out, I may have to try to see if I can figure out a cat treat recipe. Wouldn't it be fun to have my own pet bakery store?
And to round out the happy post- CONGRATULATIONS to Brenda!!! I was waiting for her to toot her own horn on her blog but I think I have waited enough. Brenda won the Biggest Loser Competition in Eldora. I am so proud of her for sticking with it & beating out the crazy guy with his unique weight loss techniques. Great job Brenda!!!!
