September 2006 Archives

Well, it seems it has been a year or more since I last made an entry here. There are actually some new things happening in my life (well John's really) but here goes...

I received a fantastic birthday present from my wonderful family recently and have had a lot of fun testing it out. I practically gave the UPS guy a heart attack with the enthusiasum of my opening the door, and kept saying how excited I was to recieve the package. Then, along comes John and says "You just made her day" to the delivery man, to which he replies "yeah, I kinda figured that."
Anyways, I have included some pictures of it with an outfit I made for myself. Tell me what you think.

Also, big news for John. He has been employed at Micheals for some time now after leaving JoAnns for a senior framer position. (more hours more money) The current framing specialist (job titles are so un-specific aren't they?) is leaving JoAnns in a few weeks, and John was offered the position. This is after months of me being repeatadly asked how he likes it at his new job, and would he consider coming back. I was not about to answer that question for him, but they brought him in for an interview. He accepted the job on Monday and put in his two weeks today at Micheals. Well, they like him so much that they offered him the same wages to stay with them, and an offer of promotion around the first of the year!!! Now comes the decision making.
(as a side note, what he will be making is nearly twice what I make. Jealous? A little, but don't take it wrong, I am so proud of him for it)
He wants my advice, to which I give, try to get more out of JoAnns and see what comes of it. Good advice? At Michaels he would have less responsibility and liability, but more power and position at JoAnns. We shall see.

Anyways, i cannot thank you all enough for the dressform, I love it and will make good use of it. Enjoy the pictures.
