Here's another one

It has been almost TWO MONTHS since my last blog. I'm such a stubborn sucker! Now that I have this blog set up, I find that I look at is as "homework" or a "chore" instead of a private place to write what's on my mind. Stubborn and lazy... Not a pretty combination.

I recently discovered that Ford is coming out with a new car. It's a Fiesta. Yeah, I know that Fiesta's have been out for many years in other countries. The new FORD Fiesta has been retooled and designed. It is sooooo cute, stylish and loaded to the hilt with all of the extras that I want in a car. Although they do not come out until 2011, they have a program that is in full swing call The Fiesta Movement. There are 100 drivers across the United States who have been selected to drive these cute little cars for the next six months. One of my friends Deena was selected as one of the drivers and picked her car up this week. Tomorrow I have a "play date" with her. I'll get to actually SEE the car in person, sit in it, play with all the gadgets and look in all of its nooks and crannies. I AM SOO EXCITED.

Here is a link to their website. I wanted to post some of their cool pics on here but it is all done with flash and so I can't copy there. http://www.fordvehicles.com/2011fiesta/?section=gallery

I have been toying with the idea of trading in my Ford Focus and getting a new car. This may be the answer... I'll just have to wait! They also have a coupe option that would probably be more my style.

FRIENDS & WORK

Tonight I am going to a birthday party for my friend Becky. My gift to her is the 40th Anniversary Edition of The Sound of Music. She loves that show so I know she will enjoy the gift. I am excited to give it to her because my wrapping job turned out so well. here are a few pictures:




















She is first and foremost my friend but right now she just so happens to be my superior at work. There are a lot of changes happening within the structuring of DWS at this time. Within a few weeks I will most likely have a new team and a new supervisor. My job itself is SAFE. I am not in any way going to lose my job, but I will lose my team and possibly my current supervisor. Tim, my my sup had been reassigned to the South Davis office. He may or may not still have some staff located in the office that I am currently assigned to. Only time will tell, but I really would like to stay on his team.

I have done all in my power to ensure a position on his team. It doesn't hurt that I am a stellar worker and have a VERY good reputation among the powers that be. Tim wants to keep me as well and has made that VERY clear to his manager. This week I took a moment and emailed the manager to introduce myself and to make my desire to remain on Tim's team known. I suppose it won't be the end of the world if everything doesn't turn out as I hope, but please send your positive energy my way on this issue!

SMOKING

I did very well the first few weeks of not smoking. I am still wearing "the patch" but I am also still smoking. Why does it have to be so damn difficult? In the past 4 months I have only purchased one pack of smokes, but that doesn't mean that I am not mooching smokes from people at work. Ha! At home, I have no cigs left. It's a sad, sad day when I am digging through the butt bag looking for a smokeable left over smoke. Like I mentioned earlier... I am a stubborn little cuss and will not allow myself to purchase anymore cigarettes. If I want to smoke, then I have to smoke what I have. It is my hope that this will help me to end this monster of an addiction. So there it is. I AM STILL SMOKING (but less than I was before).
