A few thoughts on this lovely Friday afternoon

Well I am wrapping up my third full week of working at my new job and I have to say that after 3 pm on a Friday, it is hard to sit at a desk! I got spoiled on the teacher schedule:) Although, it sure is nice not having to leave the house at 6:20 am to pick up my carpool friend and get to work at 7 in the morning!

Here are a few tidbits to update everyone on the comings and goings of the Butts:

1. I fly to Hotlanta this Sunday for the PowerPlant Coordinators retreat. I will be missing two days of work (sad..... syke!) and will get to spend time with people I have admired for the past 5 years of my life. I am still so honored to have the role of Project Coordinator- I know I am just going to wet myself when I see my old PowerPlant friends! Please start praying now and continuously for the project I'm assigned to: St. Louis, MO which will be July 18-24, 2009.

2. I worked my first full day at David's Bridal last week and I don't think I ever blogged about it. I don't want to sound like a whiney-baby, but that is some hard work! I was there from 9am-9pm and didn't sit down once. And let me tell you- carting around wedding dresses for 12 hours is not for the weak! Those gowns can be heavy! Seriously, Sunday morning, I COULD NOT move my upper body. But it really is fun helping cute little brides pick out their dream dress!

3. At Caleb's flag football game the other night, one of the guys got his elbow and part of his jaw broken. It was a very dramatic event. We called Newman's Ambulance Service and they came on the field along with a patrol car AND a fire truck. Fortunately, the entire team is made up of student doctors who quickly diagnosed everything:) But poor Brian is having to have plastic surgery on his face. I can't imagine how hard that must be to try to keep up in Med School and have to go through surgeries.... plus having a broken elbow!

4. ITT is having a HS Senior Open House Day tomorrow (Saturday) and I was asked to help plan it! I even wrote up a press release in honor of my old broadcasting days.... haven't heard from the media yet, haha, but we'll see! Hopefully the event will be a success.

5. My dear friend Lindsey gets married next Saturday. I AM PUMPED! Not only do I get to see her marry a wonderful guy, but I also get a mini-reunion with some of my closest friends. I am ticking off the minutes until I get to see them!

6. Caleb is doing good in Med School. He no longer has Grace the Cadaver. They got all new ones and now he has Estelle. Estelle is a much better cadaver name in my opinion (no offense to anyone with relatives named Estelle).

7. In the Baking Goods aisle of the grocery store there is a lemon square box mix you can buy for like $2. BUY IT. It's worth it. Nothing compares to Nana's lemon squares that she makes for me every time I visit, but I'm not going to lie.... this box mix is pretty close. If you like lemon squares, this is for you.

I can't think of anything else to write about. I'm just sitting at my little desk, with nothing much to do until I get fully in to the system computer-wise which I don't have any control over. Until then, I am reading and googling everything I can find on the Internet, so please, for me, if you have a blog- update it at least twice a day to give me some fresh reading material! I thank you in advance.
