It feels like I’ve won the lottery

It's a All About me She's Crafty

I didn’t want to say anything on here until everything was set in stone and it was a done deal. This past year I have been taking on more work at the day job, gradually increasing my technical skills and putting my name out there. All the hard work paid off and I got a promotion! And this promotion comes with a long overdue pay increase and bonus. This pay increase will make a HUGE dent in our lives. HUGE! No more ‘creative’ financing and most importantly…NO MORE SECOND JOB! The second job was just becoming a thorn in my side and I was just not having any fun anymore. It’s time to leave.

I am so excited at where I’m at in my job. I have always had faith in my company and I feel like I have been rewarded for hanging in there for tens long years. It wasn’t until I moved to the tech side of the company that I realized how much opportunity there was for me to grow. My boss and most importantly my team is encouraging me to grow. I am very lucky to have the support to learn from the ground up. For once I feel like part of the team. Which is huge for me, three years ago my team hated the idea of me.

Leaving he second job also means that I will have more time for my hobbies. I started working on the quilt top but I soon realized that I need a sewing machine with a walking foot. I tried the generic walking foot but it didn’t fit. So I’m now looking at new sewing machines. I will also be upgrading my Canon Rebel for a new Canon 7D, which I am really excited about. I plan on taking full advantage of my six weeks off from work to dive into all my creative impulses! This is going to be fun!

Dayle Wisdom #5

I’m a little late getting this Dayle-ism out.  We were texting back and forth on her recent trip back to Georgia.  Dayle knows that I love White Lilly flour, which you can only get East of the Mississippi, and she was at the grocery store picking some up for me when I got this text [...]

At least until Eclipse comes out next summer:

Maggie

“Everything comes down to poo..”

There was a scrubs re-run of that episode on last night.  Pretty funny stuff.  This little story ties into that song.  My sister just called to tell me something that my niece Maggie had just said…

Maggie:  “Mommy you’re so happy!”

My sister:  “Maggie why is Mommy happy?”

Maggie:  “Cause of poop.  Cause I poop Mommy”

Awesome.
