Things are starting to look up for me and I hope that they continue because my life always has a way of balancing itself just as things start to look up. Some people call me a pessimist, but I just don’t like the feeling of disappointment. So instead of simply expecting the best (which I do), I still prepare for the worst.
But anyway… on with the celebrations!
The first thing I want to celebrate is how successful my first day of work was. In fact, I would go as far as saying it was the most successful first day I’ve ever had. Now, before you become all impressed - don’t. I didn’t do much, but I did it ten times better than the guy I’m replacing and it is the only reason I had such a successful day. But I’m celebrating anyway!
The second thing I want to celebrate is that Lady Rose (Diet Pulpit, Stir the Cauldron & Entrecard Cookbook) did a special tarot reading for some entrecards recently and I was lucky enough to have my card chosen for a reading! You can read her post and see for yourself how talented this lady is! And not only that, but I won a 1 week spot on her blog from a contest that Stan recently held. Just feel the love!!
Lastly, and by no means least(ly?) I was able to meet one of my favourite bloggers, Erica from fiveblondes.com!! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend the whole day together on account of my interview at 11am that day. But I’m grateful for the opportunity to meet her and I hope I can visit her in her home city one day! Thanks again for thinking of me when you knew you were going to be in town Erica!
Oh, I almost forgot… I’m also celebrating getting new glasses (for real, this isn’t a paid post!!) I’ve been wearing glasses for 16 years and this is the first time I’ve been excited about glasses. They’re a departure from the frames I tend to get in that this the thickest frame I’ve ever gotten. I used to prefer thinner frames because I hated looking like I was wearing glasses, but I guess I’ve outgrown that silliness.
EDIT: I’m taking a break from Monday Madness, read the archives if you like.

Horaayy..there are 13 comment(s) for me so far ;)
I have new glasses too. I tried contacts years ago but they ripped and one piece was stuck in my eye. Too yucky. Glasses are ok with me. My frames are not thin but not thick either. My favourite so far were a dark blue, to match my eye colour (nearly). The current frames are a purple shade. A different shape. At least they aren’t those huge round frames everyone seemed to pick in the 80’s.
Lauras latest..Congratulations Elicia Mackenzie!!!
Congrats on a successful first day on the job. Here’s wishing all your days are as satisfying.
Love the new glasses. They look very sassy.
haleyhughess latest..Because they make me smile
Nice glasses. I use to have glasses like that: thick black frame. I don’t look good in it, I looked like a total geek.
Is this job a permanent position?
Rudy: You don’t need glasses…

Michaels latest..Inventions for the Physically-Challenged
Not bad glasses, Queensy. I’d watch out for Canucklehead being on your top commentators. That guy’s sneaky.

@Laura: I still can’t wear my glasses out all day because having anything on my head/face like glasses, headbands, etc give me a head ache so I always wear contacts. Show me your glasses!!
@Haley: Thanks
It looks like I’m going to be pretty good and very busy work! Enjoy your trip to San Fran!!
@Rudy: Thanks; hehe you can’t see it in the altered photo but the arms of the frame have this neat pattern in it, and they’re a nice dark silver. I used to think they made me look like a geek too which is why I hated them before, but now… I dunno?! lol
@Peri: Yeah, it’s permanent. Hope I get time off while the boy is here on holidays at the end of August! lol
@Michael: Thanks
If I wore my glasses all the time I would definitely have gotten transitions because I’m blind without glasses so I couldn’t drive with just my sunglasses on! lol Oh and I used to have a flexicon frame… I still broke it! lol
@Stan: Thanks… stop calling me that LOL!! Re: Canuck, what’s he going to do? Hijack my comments? hehehe
Aww i have been looking forward to your monday madness…when is your next bout of insanity going to hit?….=).
Alfred Saforos latest..Squarerespace version 5. The Good The Bad and the Ugly.
@Alfred: I know it’s been a busy week and I didn’t have any saved memes or quizzes. The next monday madness is actually going to be some Entrecard related insanity!!
Yay on the new job! I know how important first days are so I am glad yours went well.
Rachels latest..A Fisherman’s Tools
@Rachel: Hi Rachel! My email notifications for comments that need to be morderated never email me right away any more. Wonder what’s up. Anyway, thanks! Just wish he’d tell me if he’s going to give me more money now that he’s realised I can do so much more than he originally planned for me to do!! lol
I know there’s a song somewhere in all of this .-)
