My "to blog" list is getting rather large. I've been extremely lazy lately. My house is a wreck, I haven't freezer cooked, I barely do laundry, Mike cleaned the bathroom last, my blog is a little lazy (no pictures lately... boo), and you really should see my knitting pile. It's bad. Oh, and that reading thing. The book I'm on is rather boring, to be honest. Who would have thought? It's Robin Hood. I'm trying to finish it this week, but I'm behind. So behind.
BUT! Today is a very happy Friday indeed. I took my last full vacation day at my current company. I woke up and ate, tried to read, and then fell back asleep. We had Red Robin for lunch, and then I went and bought $25 worth of books for $5 (because I bought a groupon a while back).
Today is a very good Friday indeed. Next up- hopefully doing some organizing with my knitting projects. Get some things in order. Get some to-do lists and timelines hatched out.
Enjoy your weekend!

Putting the Happy in Fridays
Lately my Fridays have been rather drab. While I'm perfectly happy with that, it hasn't been much to write about. BUT! ALAS! today is the day I bring back the Happy Fridays.
Here is why today is a Happy Friday-
1- Mike quit his second job last week, which means I've seen him 7 nights in a row!!!!!
2- Our bedroom is painted! We'll be moving back in tomorrow (hopefully. Sans curtains, though) (Pictures to come, I promise)
3- I have finally been ousted, and it's no longer a secret- I was recently hired by Procter and Gamble. :) I have 7 more weeks at my current job and then I will be training! I'm rather excited.
4- Friday is always pay day
5- We have a date night planned tomorrow. And it will hopefully be free (thanks to a giftcard) :) YAY!!!!!
So this weekend will consist of rebuilding the bedroom, buying lamps and some sort of darkening shades, a date night, and majorly cleaning my poor neglected house. :) I'm excited.
And reading. So much reading. I'm currently in the middle of Marley and Me (which is tons better than the movie). I want to finish it this weekend. I'm slightly behind on the reading challenge (as of Friday I was only 1 page behind).
So what are your plans lookin' like?

Happy Friday!
What makes my Friday so happy? You mean outside of my weekly pay day and Mike's double-bi-weekly pay day?
I have an adorable pup curled up with his head on my heart.
And we're staying in to cuddle. By choice and much to the sadness of our friends (who are at shadowbox Live as we speak).
I have a cute and warm rice bag on my toes.
My Christmas cards are finished.
And my hubs is on his way home.
What more could a girl ask for?
Happy Friday, everyone!

Putting the Happy in "Happy Friday!"
I love Fridays. At least most of the time. I don't often speak of my work on here (because let's face it- who wants to hear about an accountant's work?) but today I think I will share one aspect of my job that (sometimes) makes me happy.
I am an accountant. I do the payroll, and as such, I'm in charge of the time monitoring system (the phone system we use to clock in and out). It's a basic system, you call a number, you punch in your id (I say your name), you hit 1 to clock in or 2 to clock out (it verifies that you "clocked in" or "clocked out"), you hang up.
In the process, if you screw up (forget, clock out when you meant to clock in, etc etc) you will get an automated message telling you to call the office (ME!). When you do, I fix the problem. If you don't, there could be dire consequences, but that's not what I'm hear to discuss.
Sometimes I get cute calls like this:
"Hi Lynzie. The lady" (an automated machine) "told me I screwed up this morning. Can you tell me what I did wrong?"
Or sometimes, when I fix things I get
"Thanks. You're the best." I've also heard "awesome" "the wo-man", "amazing"
And then there are the guys that think they are all cute
"Thank you hun" or "Thank you baby"
Normally those would bother me, but... It's usually one guy, and he has a disability of some sort, and he's trying to be cute, and he is.
Other happy moments- We have a few workers who are from a country in Africa. I don't know which country, but they have a REALLY HEAVY ACCENT. Do you know who they like to talk to? Me. They call me all the time with questions- sometimes questions I don't have the answers to. But you wanna know why they call me? They like me. They know I will help them without yelling at them or getting frustrated, and that makes me happy.
What makes you happy?
Happy Friday, y'all.
