The Good
Hmm, well for starters, my boss informed me that he wants me to go back to school and get a degree. I can major in anything I want. He'll pay for everything, including books. Wow. What a gift. I met with a counselor today and am just going to start on my general education courses before choosing, but I'm leaning toward Legal Assisting. He's pretty damn awesome, no? I don't think one day goes by at work when I don't literally say to myself that "I love him". And on top of being a good man, he keeps things light and fun around the office on a daily basis. :)
My cousin Chris has lived in my town for a while now but I *never* saw him. Finally, I decided to stop by his work to say hi and we ended up going back to his apartment (overlooking the Capital) where his GF and him made me dinner. He has invited me back a couple times to hang out and they have great friends who are much more suited for me than the kids I've been hanging out with lately. They play the piano, play board games and just *talk*, as opposed to blaring music and just drinking.
The Bad
This one has the potential to get long so I'll just start with Sunday and give you a small idea of how my last few days have been. On Sunday I took the kids roller skating again. I wanted to maximize the time I spent on the rink so I never went to our table once. As a result, I did not know my purse, and my wallet, were left sitting out in the open, begging for attention. Wasn't until I got all the way home and was going to get gas that I realized my wallet was not in my purse. Credit cards, photos, my $200 Macy's gift card, everything, gone. Not to mention my driver's license. :(
On Monday at work I dropped a huge file into the filing cabinet and it landed on my arm, pinching me and leaving a bruise and a welt. On my way out the door that night, I stepped onto uneven pavement and twisted my ankle, falling all the way to the ground.
On Tuesday I was probably the busiest I've been at work in as long as I can remember and I so badly wanted to hang out with a friend that night and have a drink. DH informed me that night that he was leaving on a nighttime fishing trip. He never does that so it was a total fluke and completely ruined any plans I had. We had a fight, the kids were fighting...it was just plain sucky all around.
The So-So
Hmm, this one is tough, but I liked how it sounded in the title, lol.
I'm sorry I've not been around at all lately. Days go by before I even get a chance to log on and check in. Add to that some computer issues at home and it's just been really hard getting on. I do think of you all daily and miss the old days. Hope you are all doing well!
*smooches*

Hullo! You're back! Yay!
The Good: Your boss is really really nice. Storybook nice. Are you his favorite or is he always this generous?
Adult friends are fun too. I think I'd get tired of the blaring music and drinking. What board games do you play?
The Bad: Oh crap. That's like my nightmare about purses & theft.
*kisses the boo-boos (so long as you didn't fall on your arse)*
Sorry.
The So-So: Won't your nice boss let you cruise the intertubes every day?
I know the feeling of your last paragraph. :(
It's good to see an update from you.
How can you taking me drinking and dancing to loud music if you hurt your ankle?
Welcome back to the bloggy world. You have the most awesome boss I've ever heard of. He sounds so compassionate, caring, and giving.
I love board games but rarely play them. May I meet your new friends?
So sorry about your bad news. I often lock my purse in the trunk of the car and just take the keys with me, or whatever I can fit into a pocket.
Finally. *grin*
I am so happy for you that you have that chance to go back to school. It is something I can do here and be reimbursed for, but it must be related to my job. I haven't decided what job-related courses I should or want to pursue. I guess I have somewhat of a range: HR, Accounting, Business. But I don't know that I want to do those. Plus, I would have to commit to not leaving for "x" amount of years after finishing.
Good for you connecting with your cousin. I too love board games, and I would much rather play them with adults. Right now I play with Conner.
I can't even imagine losing my wallet. I would completely die. Come back, freak out, then die again. I'm so sorry. *big hugs*
I am an expert in ankle injuries. Anything I can do?
I'm just glad you are here.
I think you shoe go into shoe design. :-)
Seriously, it's awesome your boss thinks so highly of you. Obviously he doesn't know as much about you as WE do. I kid, I kid!
*hugs* on all the other carp.
Ooops, that should say "should go into shoe design." Shoes on the brain, I guess.
