Happy Happy TGIF

Well, happy happy Friday peeps!  Hope you've had a wonderful week so far.  We have FINALLY made it to the weekend - WHOOP WHOOP!!!!  We learned yesterday that the wife of our co-worker wants everyone to wear the Texans or Astros sports jerseys or fishing gear to the visitation tonight after work, as that's how our co-worker was - very laid back, a huge sports and fishing fanatic.  He would have loved it! So... today we are all wearing our favorite sports attire to the office and then heading to the visitation tomorrow after that.  Even as sad as the occasion is, it will be a fun time at the office today - I wish we did that more often relating to wearing our favorite sports shirts on Fridays instead of the bank shirts.  But, hey, the fact that we actually get to wear jeans every Friday makes me happy. HA! 

So what's on your agenda this weekend?  Anything fun and exciting?  We have the funeral tomorrow, but other than that we are doing tons of house work and yard work and getting stuff ready for the baby shower next weekend.  I still can't get over it being here this quickly - this month has just flown for sure.  Hard to believe September is so close around the corner. My little grandson will be here before we know it.  He's due around Thanksgiving.  

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day and weekend ahead.  Thanks for stopping by and please let me know you were here.  :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Three Things Thursday

Happy Thursday guys and dolls!  Hope you're having a fabulous week so far.  Only one more day until the weekend.  Though my weekend is going to really suck again due to having to attend the funeral of our co-worker on Saturday afternoon, I am still ready for the weekend to be here.  I didn't realize until just yesterday morning that we leave a week from today for Arkansas aka "home" to visit with family and give our daughter a baby shower with our friends and family.  Anywho.... without further adieu - here are my Three Things Thursday today.  Please play along! I'd love to see yours as well. :)

1.  Is SO thankful for these cooler temperatures we have been having the past 2 or 3 days - there is literally NO humidity - it almost feels Fall like and I can't wait!

2.  Still has stuff to gather and make to take for the baby shower next weekend.  It has literally crept upon me where I had better get my butt on the ball to get things accomplished.

3.  I am truly dreading this weekend and the funeral of our co-worker.  Though I didn't know him as well as everyone else does, he was a very nice man and easy to work with and a very funny person.

And because you know me and how I hate doing a post without a picture of some sort, I'm not going to leave you hanging.  Here are just a few ideas for my daughter's baby shower next weekend.  She is doing a whale theme and I'm having a blast gathering everything up to make for it.

You can find the people to give credit to here, here and here.  Hope you all have a lovely day. Thanks for stopping by to say hello.  Please let me know you were here! :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Happy Wednesday

Sorry I've not been around the past couple of days, but we received some very bad news on Monday at the office and things have been really sad since then.  One of our co-workers, who had been there for many years and blue moons, and who was only in his mid-50's, passed away on Monday morning at 5:15.  He had been battling cancer that just appeared about 6 months ago.  He was one of the main employees and very well loved, so it's been a huge shock to everyone, because he had started rallying and everyone thought he was going to be able to continue to fight it off and that his latest treatment was working.  Anyway, the visitation is Friday night and the funeral is Saturday afternoon. He was also a pillar in the community, so that means both of these are going to be extremely crowded.  I only had the pleasure of working with him for about 6 months before he fell ill, so it's not like I know him that well, but feel I need to pay my respects to him and his family for sure on both days, no matter how bad I hate going to funerals.  He was a very nice man and always real pleasant around the office and will be greatly missed.

Anyway, time to get off the sad part of the morning. How has your week been so far?  Are your kiddos all back in school officially now? Things are hopping here in Texas and kids are everywhere again.  I know I've said this before, but I really miss being "in" school - in some form at least.  I think my favorite profession would be a school secretary - I think that would be perfect, because I could be a part of the school year and still enjoy my summers off. :) 

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by to say hello.  Please let me know you were here.  

Lots of love and hugs,
