Hello 24

12 days ago I posted about a second snow day and how that was crazy for the NW. Well I repeated the all night study ritual with Brittany and low and behold snow started falling at precisely the same time as 12 days ago. It was a bizarre Groundhog's Day feeling. I have now been up for 26.50 hours and am exhausted, only 11.50 hours left to go before I can go to bed. Ugh. Luckily I have some surprises that are getting me through the day. 

This flower that adorns my office desk that I received yesterday as a belated birthday present.

Starbucks. Or more accurately caffeine. I had a blonde roast at 9:00 and then an Americano (a first!) at 11:00 last night and when I got to work my co-worker had a cup of chai waiting for me. :)

Anniversary

Today was my three year work anniversary. Where does the time go? Just in case you were wondering, I work at a steel fabrication company. I am "first and foremost my boss's assistant" as my boss (THE boss) likes to tell everyone. And also the office manager, the insurance handler, the book keeper, the payroll lady, AR/AP guru. Pretty much anything you can think of, I do it. The company is taking a new direction soon and my co-worker is leaving (his last day is tomorrow...). So in honor of my anniversary and his contribution to the office the boss took us out to Thai. Which is saying something because my boss hates Thai. It's a personal favorite of mine though. We laughed and told stories and I ate more white rice than I should have and it was fantastic.

Soup. perfect for a cold winter day.

Cashew Chicken. Sooo good.
