So, lots to talk about today! The job I hate just got a little more interesting...The guy I was working with had his last day today so...I GOT HIS OFFICE! I'm so excited that I don't have to sit at the reception desk anymore. I get a comfy chair, but the same stupid work. Gah! What I wouldn't give to have to write a press release right now!

On to better news...I got off work a little early to take my pup to the vet. She was due for some shots. She's a healthy little one! I love when the vet tells me what good care I take of her. After the vet, Jaci, my pup, and I went home to clean the house. I have the fortune of having the best in-laws possible and they are coming into town tonight! I wanted to make sure the house was presentable and comfortable for them so I spent a few hours last night preparing. I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do with them this weekend, though I'm sure a trip to the casinos will be inevitable. 

This is a picture of my Jaci, she has quite the attitude...

Even better news...Recently, for those of you who don't know, I had a breast reduction (to be referred to from now on as "The BR"). I have to say, it was the best decision I've made for myself in a long time! However, after the surgery, during my nearly two month recovery, I put on a little weight. What's the good news you ask? IT'S FINALLY COMING OFF!! I'm so excited because I hate when I put on weight. I'm pretty short, about 5'3, so when I put on the weight, it's very obvious! Before the BR, I was running nearly 12-15 miles a week. Now, after the BR, I'm lucky if I can get in a mile! I'm so out of shape and I just got back in the gym so I'm taking it slow. Sometimes, if I work out too hard or too long, I'll start to hurt a bit. But, I'm getting there, so cheer me on!

So, here's to all you bloggers, any tips for getting off my last few pounds?

XOXO,

Really?

Ok, so, in order for you to understand this post, I'll have to give you a little background info. The job that I have now is actually a contract position with my husband's company. Everyone who is on this project, minus a select few, is a contractor. The way we handle getting paid is by send a time sheet, expense report and a copy of our receipts to the corporate office in Houston. The girl that handles the time sheets (and her little department) is driving me crazy. Yesterday, I send an email with my time sheet attached to her and copy her assistant. She emails me back the following:

"Stevy, there are now two admins in our department. Please remember to CC *Diane on further emails to me and *Chrissy."

"Ok, fine," I think. I can remember to do that, that's not too much to ask.

Five minutes later, I get an email from assistant #1 saying:

"Stevy, Please remember to CC *Diane, the new office assistant, on all emails to me and *Kelly."

About two minutes later, I get this email from assistant #2 saying:

"Stevy, I am *Kelly's new assistant. Please remember to CC me on all emails to her and *Chrissy from now on."

Here's what I'm thinking:

"Ok, girls. Let's get our business straight in your office! And please remember to CC EACH OTHER ON ALL FUTHER EMAILS!!!"
