Just to Catch Up

I got to thinking about it and it has been over (not much) 2 weeks since I last blogged.  I can't really keep expecting people to follow me if I don't blog right?

Well, truth be told - it has been a little busy and a lot boring in my corner of the universe.  I have been working kinda weird hours lately.  Like, take today for example.  I didn't come in until 1pm but worked until just a few minutes ago (10:15pm).  I like that my job allows me to do that.  I told my boss a week or two ago, "I work best from 7pm - 11pm".  Then I suggested moving my hours from 1pm - 10pm.  She said - "ok.  Whatever you want to do".  I have a lot of meetings so that is not entirely possible. - but I do like that we are that kind of company that allows flexibility.  I am very blessed to work where I do.  It has been a good experience thus far.  (I am now knocking on wood!)
So, two weeks ago, I got a new office.  It is tons bigger and my desk is AWESOME.  Let's take a look:

Here is a look into my office from the hallway

 It looks pretty put together because the wall by my window has my bulletin board and my "To Do" board on it.  But when you come into the office and see the wall you can't see, there is just a chair on it and two filing cabinets - boring.  So, I am hoping when Jaxen comes to visit - he can help decorate.

Here is my really AWESOME desk.

One thing I love about this desk is it's cubby holes.  Before, everything in those cubby holes was just in piles on my desk.  It made keeping organized a little difficult.  But now, I have a cubby for all of my piles.
The other thing I love about this desk is that it has 3 sides of work space.  It really allows me to spread out when I am researching stuff.  Before, I just had to flip and flip and hold a paper in each finger, like an octopus.  Now, I can lay them side by side and compare and mark and sort.  It is very good.
As you can see in the picture (well, maybe if you make it a little bigger) a there is a place for all the things I need to get me through my work week.
1. a candy jar
2. picture of my son and his corny smile
3. a picture of my 2nd favorite boy in the world
4. a love note
5. and my Dallas cup filled with Sweet Tea

Here is me at work on last Thursday.

Just in case you are wondering - No I do not just take pictures of myself all day.  I just happened to like that necklace and shirt and took one last week.  But I thought that since my sister is always posting selfies with Jaxen, I would post one too.  Too bad Brennen will not take any with me - EVER!  It's a teenage thing!

On another note, since the last time I wrote, we celebrated Zeta and William's Birthdays.  Here is a few pictures:

Here is William sporting a Birthday Crown.  

  Here is Zeta with her Birthday Hat.

  And then here is me and Zeta.  I can't believe she is 10 already!

Other than that, it has been kinda quiet.  I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my Mom and Scotty on Saturday.  On Sunday, we did some family errands after a family breakfast.  I had a good time around town with Brennen, Amber, Mama (Gladys), and Ronald.  I fought a headache for most of the day but the time I got to spend with my family was precious to me.  

After that, on Monday I had an excruciating migraine.  That lasted until Tuesday.  I continue to fight being sick - but seem to be keeping it at bay pretty good this week.  

I can't wait until next week when my Sister and Family will be coming!  I am super excited.  Hope everyone has a great rest of the week - It is almost over.
