~ Hump Day ~

I swear I had nothing to do with this, other then purchasing the lawn type ornament. When my sister and I went to get the first bird feeder we saw this. We both loved it. A little lawn ornament that is a tic tac toe board. We decided to go back and get it for my Mom for her Mother's Day gift. We thought it would look cute in her backyard some place near the built in pool. A nice decoration. As she unwrapped the gift 'Bug' made a big deal. First it was in a fairly large box, and she wanted the wrapping paper. 'Don't rip it, it's beautiful,' she said over and over as my Mom took her time opening. That in itself had us laugh. She didn't just say 'beautiful' it was 'beeeeeeeeuuuuuutiful' so theatrical. And she left all the other goodies at her Grandma's but she did remember that paper!

Well, once it was taken out of the box and the bubble wrap was removed we set it up on the kitchen table to get a good view. In walks my nephew. He walks over to the table and sets it up. We roared. Now my family reads my journal, so they knew of 'little pecker' and 'morning woody' so it was only fitting I now have a graphic for hump day. As an FYI I added the text to the picture. He had no idea, he was just being funny. Then my Mother laughs and calls for my Dad as she makes her way into the family room to help him, cane and all, out to the kitchen so he can see what his Grandson did. The giggles from my parents only made us laugh harder.

My day was good. My new boss had set up a program 'On the Spot Award', and today I was given the award. Wuuuuu huuuuuuu cold hard cash. Not a ton of money, but something that will come in handy and it's nice to be appreciated. Going forward it will be given out once a month. Let's hope I can get a few more times before the year ends. I am also contemplating working a compressed work week schedule. We are offered flextime and currently I work 8:30-4:30 with a half hour lunch. The compressed week is working 8-5:30 for 4 days and then on the 5th day you'd work 8:30-12. I was thinking that would be nice to work each Friday for the summer. Working out some of the details, and we'll see if it is something that flies.

Next week will be an extremely short week. I am taking off Monday. I will be driving my son and his girlfriend to airport for their trip to Disney. They have to be there at 5:30. OUCH! I decided instead of getting home and trying to get to work and be functional I'd just take the day. I am using a 2 hour pass on Thursday and off Friday... then Monday because of the holiday. I may be going up to the camp on the St. Lawrence River. It's been in my brother-in-laws family for years. It's not to awful far from Alexandria Bay and the Thousand Islands. We'll probably leave early on Friday and take a leisurely ride so I can get pictures. Still working out the details there too.

Well, hope everyone had a good hump day. LOL

Hugs

At Christmas the kids played a game at school like musical chairs but it was a present that they passed around and when the music stopped the person holding the gift got to open a layer of wrapping paper (it was wrapped like 25 times). The kids went nuts and couldn't care less about the present they all wanted the wrapping paper!! It was a scream!! Kids are sooo funny! You never know what they are gonna like!!
The company I used to work for had summer hours. You worked and extra hour a day Mon-Thurs and on Fri you got to leave at lunch. It was an awesome perk!!
