I Can Do It Myself

One of the things I got to do on the job that I was excited about was making cable. However, one step of the process I could not do on my own - the crimping tool to set the jack onto the cable. My hands were just too weak. Today, I was able to use the crimping tool! It was nice not to have to stop in the process and get a co-worker to help me out.

Here's Looking at You

Have I mentioned I enjoy fashion? Maybe only once or twice. Anyway, I love to look at fashion magazines and get new ideas for my wardrobe. However, I often see something I like and then have a hard time finding it again. I have marked the pages with sticky notes but still find myself digging through a pile of magazines all marked with them. I tore out (yes, tore out) my favorite looks from the magazines and created a Look Book. This will be a never ending project as I add more ideas and fashion changes. But at least I will have what I need right at my fingertips in one source!

Mind Your Own Business

I have always dreamed of owning my own business. The idea of working for myself has great appeal. I used MindJet MindManager software to organize the steps I need to take to start a business. I am hoping this will help put everything into perspective so as not to feel so overwhelming.

Jude

I read Jude, a short book in the Bible. It comes right before Revelation and is often overlooked. In summary, it is a warning against false prophets and doctrine.

Soak up the Sun or get Soaked?

The weather forecast was nice and sunny for the weekend. I thought I'd take the opportunity to get outside and grill dinner. The grill needed cleaning before use, so with the help of my husband, I took apart the grill and cleaned it. This task ended up being a lot bigger than expected. The screws were in so tight they stripped when we tried to remove them. When all was said and done, this ended up being a two day project. Just as we got it back together, it started to rain! So much for a sunny weekend and grilled food.

Mostly Work, Some Play

I was moved into a different group at work last year in September. Been getting to know the new people a little, but there is not much interaction in this new place. We had a team building today and I went to lunch and a movie with my new work group. I had a good time and it was fun to get to know my team outside of the work environment.

Hair past a Freckle

I went to work without my watch on purpose. This is not something I do because I go crazy if I don't know what time it is. However, today I chose fashion over function and the watch just wasn't working with the silver bangles. It was tough, but I survived the day and looked cute doing it!
