My love of pink

I love pink and I love how this shot turned out! This is a poinsetta I saw while picking up two for Melissa. We're going to visit her and Boyce tomorrow in Lake Charles. She likes pink as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you have a safe and wonderful break! :-)

We're girls and we rock!

Here's a shot of my team at work. We finally filled the two vacancies, including my replacement - that's Jess on my right (facing the picture) and I have really enjoyed getting to know her so far. We are on the same page on lots and that is a good feeling. I think there are a lot of things she can teach me about e-learning and IT standards training so I'm really looking forward to working with her. And you know what??? NO PLANNED TRIPS TO IRVING ON THE HORIZON. Wow! It's a nice feeling and how wonderful to put away the overnight bag for a while. :-)

Last week we had the ENTIRE team in Seguin. Half of us are in Irving and there's a total of 26 of us. Many had not been on plant tour before so we really wanted them to have a chance to see who makes all our money for us. And I got to wear my pink hat. That made me happy. lol

Work & Bee Update

I use to feel like this when I came up to Corporate. Too many meetings, demands, stresses, craziness. And now I feel like this...



Why? Because my new boss started today so I am up here in Irving, transitioning out of the Manager role I have held since January 1! And now I get to do what I really enjoy - trainer development and training delivery. I'll still sit on projects but I can really focus my energy on areas in which I'm really interested. I hope to anyway. Heck, just having one job is WAY better than three! So it's already a huge improvement!

Bee update as it pertains to me: I am officially allergic to stings. :-( But the good news is that I totally suited up this past weekend and took EXTRA care with Mark's help and guidance and I worked on clearing brush near the bees without a single sting! Woo hoo! Enough visits to ER already. LOL. BTW, that's what we ended up doing. I had to get another steroid shot in the booty AND pills. Earlier I wrote it didn't seem as bad as the 2nd sting. But I wrote too soon b/c it became worse. The swelling and itching was crazy! Anyway, I really need to watch myself when I take pictures. I get so caught up and excited that I always seem to FORGET to look at the ground. And then I step in things. Like ant mounds. He he, that was Saturday when I shot the wind mills. Three or four ant bites but luckily not fire ants so I didn't react badly to them. Phew.
