How Romantic!

I don't get flowers sent to work (I work at home) or surprise visits like Nikol but I do get to go to a place I have been dreaming of going for most of my adult life. I get to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon!!

Originally we were going to go to Germany for part of the World Cup games and then to France to catch some of the Tour. Of course the World Cup is sold out so we opted not to go there. Next Brett decided we would go to somewhere in Central America. Fine with me - it is warm there. It was either going to be Costa Rica or Guatemala. I was excited about going since I had never been to either one before. Brett would get to go Scuba diving and deep sea fishing and I would get to gather some rays on my awfully white body (this way I will be red instead of white).

So the other day while we were watching Dog the Bounty Hunter, I mentioned that I wanted to go to Hawaii. "How about for our honeymoon?" was the response I got. I reminded him that he was in charge of that and that I will enjoy wherever he choose. Next thing I know I am getting emails showing me the places we will stay while we are in Hawaii!!! I definitely love this man. Could I be any luckier?

No Excuses

I have already broken one of my New Year's resolutions. I promised to write a blog every day. Guess what - I haven't done it in almost 2 weeks. No excuses I just haven't written. I guess I just had other things to do.

Okay I really didn't have other things to do. I just got busy with work. I normally write while I am working. I decided to try and concentrate on my work so that when the time comes to leave the job I don't feel so guilty. It is not guilt of leaving all the work for Carl to worry about; it is guilt about leaving it for Becky to do all by herself. She is such a nice lady and has brought a calm to our business unit. I do know that if I left and it got too much for her she would just up and leave since she really doesn't need the job. She is just doing it because she got bored after a month of retirement.

Don't get me wrong - I love my job. Right now with planning the wedding and going on our honeymoon it is the perfect situation. However, I cannot handle the mood swings of my boss. Some days things are perfect some days I wish I had never logged in. I am hoping this week will be a bunch of catch up since he is out of town.
