Singing in my head

Because I am the Payroll Goddess at work, part of my job is overseeing our companies open enrollment for benefits. Everybody hates open enrollment. Insurance is expensive, it's confusing and it sucks. And because I'm the Payroll Goddess, I have to hear about it. ALL DAY. I've been singing that song in my head, "It's the most wonderful time of the year". That's pretty much the only line I remember, so it's been on repeat, all day long. I know it's a Christmas song, but I'm choosing to apply it to open enrollment. I've been absorbing a whole lot of negative energy today and to get rid of it I'm singing Christmas songs in my head. If you've heard me sing, be thankful that you're not in my head, too!

Art Student

This is just for Brenda. I have TWO college students now! Jenna is at NAU, Jeremy is going to the Art Institute of Phoenix. For his Elements of Design class, he needed to create shapes for his project - curves, ellipses, circles. He was using a template, tracing the shape and cutting it out, and wasn't happy about how long it was taking. I got out my Creative Memories cutters and it went sooo much faster! He was done in time to go have a beer with his buddies.

Who?

I called my older brother recently and said, "Hi, it's Lori." His response was "Who?" You know you're out of touch when your family doesn't know who you are! So here I am. Signing on, reading about their lives via the internet, because I don' know who they are, either. And learning a lot about them that I didn't know. And loving them all the more.
