Why? You ask... Because we won the contest!!! You know, that one I haven't mentioned on here :P lol So let me explain, lol..
Ok, half of my job is working in a BDC (Business Development Center). Our BDC was recently certified by Ford and now is an official BDC. So (sparing you as many boring details as possible), Ford had a contest for the 4th quarter to see which BDC could score the most sales off of RTCM (Retail Trade Cycle Management) customer and Internet Sales (which is the other half of my job). We were riding second most of the Fourth Quarter, and even fifth for a few weeks, which isn't surprising given that it is only myself and Jennifer and our boss out here. Then, today, my boss checks to see the final score and WE WON! This is so awesome! A five hundred dollar bonus and (hopefully) some recognition and appreciation in a job where little is to be found..
Ok, so bare with me while I bounce around, NYE... I spent NYE with Veronique and my lovely daughters. I bought a big bottle of wine and "kid champagne" for the girlies. We dyed my hair blonde and watched Steel Magnolias. Amanda was tickled pink that she got to have "kid champagne" out of mommy's champagne glasses, lol.
And last (but def. not least), the new additions to my family, Irwin and Betsy :) yup, I bit the bullet and went to Lowes yesterday where I just fell in love with them. Several hundred dollars later, I am the proud new owner of a 3.2 cubic foot washing machine and a 7 cubic foot dryer :) Yeah, so I named them, lol... I had to pick something very country bumpkin because that was the mood I was in when I was hauling the old ones out and the new ones in. I was filthy and happy, figured thats about as bumpkin as it gets. Did laundry all night and was jazzed as could be about it :)
An update: Mr. I blew me off for like three days, then called me at 11:58 Saturday night. He said he'd felt guilty about cheating (-ahem-
I guess I am more bummed to be slowly finding out that this guy that I adore really doesn't care about me in any way close to how I care about him.
Ok, back to work!
