And the good news just keeps on coming
Aug 18th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
I had planned to post on an entirely different subject today, but that one will have to wait until tomorrow because right now I want to blog about my really good, most excellent day.
It started out great when I got on the scale this morning and realized I’m only 5 pounds from my New Year’s weight loss goal. I actually wore my skinny jeans last weekend for the first time in longer than I want to say. Victory is within reach!
Then Mike wrote about me in his blog and sent his readers here to visit me. I’m honored that anyone would think what I write is interesting enough not only to keep coming back, but to send others here as well!
As if it were possible, my day got even better after I arrived at work. I was offered a promotion! I knew off the record that it was coming, but I didn’t know exactly when. Today it is official. Yes, this blogger is now in charge of all research and development at my company.
In even more good news, I’ve just returned from the guidance office at my daughter’s school, signing paperwork to have her screened for gifted. Her teacher from last year was so convinced that Maia belongs in gifted, she recommended we have her privately screened if for some reason she doesn’t make it through the school’s testing. I’m proud to have spawned such a smarty-pants offspring!
And the day is only half over. All this is enough to give one a big head or something. There is another post in me somewhere musing on why I’ve been blessed with such good fortune lately. I do know from whence my good fortune comes, but I need to collect my thoughts so I can write something readable on the subject. That may take a few days.
What a great site! I’m here at Mike’s suggestion, and he was right…
your blog is so positive and upbeat! I’m a Florida Mom too, so justhttp://vitaminsea.typepad.com/
wanted to say “Hi” from across the state! Enjoyed reading through this blog, and I hope your article gets published real soon. Loved the quotes section too, many of those were my favorites also. 🙂
Howdy Monique! Had to come check out Mike’s new friend, and glad I did. Sounds like you’ve got life by the..umm. You know 😉
Hey there. Mike sent me. You had a fantastico day! Bravo and blog on.
Mike sent me, and I’m glad he did. I will definitely be back.Will try to get you added to my Rising Stars’ roll before I leave for Denver, but I only have a day so at least by the time I return.From one geek to another… 🙂
Mike sent me! Great post, congratulations on the promotion!!
Congrats all the way around. God is good!
R & D! How great is that?
Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone for the very kind words!
How’d the rest of the day go? I hope even better.
YAY!
I love days like that!
What a picker-upper!
This deserves a repeat: “YAY!”
(BTW – found you by stepping through the looking glass @ Mike’s)
So happy for all the good news!
It’s okay to let it all give you a big head, just keep on track with your weight goal so you don’t get a big butt, and thus, no longer fit into those skinny jeans.
Have a superb weekend!
The rest of the day was uneventful. Can’t be too greedy, now!
