The Perks!
I guess I can't complain....sometimes it pays to wake up early! These last couple of weeks have been amazing in Seattle and the clear skies, colorful sunrises, and magnificent views of both Mt. Rainier and Mt. Hood as I cross I-90 have made the early morning drives into work almost bearable. Actually, it has been great and such a lovely reminder that God created this delicate balance of beauty and duty. I am so blessed to live in this world...

Doing a Small Part
I was asked by a friend to send out an email regarding the following...but it's sooo much easier to blog. Please do what you feel compelled to do. Every little bit helps!

10 on 10 :: January :: Work
And now for a recap...
My day started off at 9..ok, it really started at 6:15, but 9 is when I read Rebekah's post...and so it began with a little coffee (I regretted it later) and some zipfizz...by 10 I was ready to kick off my shoes (infact, I do this quite often and even walk around the office barefoot...the only person who minds is the admin and I just ignore her when she tells me to put my shoes on). At 11 I decided to look out by bosses cubicle window (mine doesn't have one) and noticed that the man made pond had spilled on to the sidewalk due to last nights rainfall..for some reason I hadn't remembered it raining that much- a true Seattlite! For lunch I went "off campus" to Panera with a co-worker...and then it was time for a potty break ;) (I think I was pretty tame with this photo)- 2:47..is it time for me to go home yet? Oh no, it's almost 4 (man the time actually goes quickly when you try to take a photo every hour)...hmm, what next? Ok, my name plate...someone else put those pictures on there..one of them is Mrs. Brady- I guess I have a domestic reputation. I then left work a bit early to pick something up from my parents house..it's their 32nd wedding anniversary- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Mom & Dad! And what of the next photo? A surprise Christmas present from Jane- 10 handmade cloth napkins and a napkin folding book (when we were sophomores in highschool we went on a cruise with my mom and learned to fold napkins like the one above)- how thoughtful Jane- they're a treasure already AND Jeff was pretty excited about the book- expect great things the next time we have a dinner party! Lastly, a trip to the Ol' Spaghetti Factory...for a "manager's favorites"- 1/2 brown butter & mizithera, 1/2 meat sauce...included in every meal- bread, salad, milk, and spumoni- an affordable treat!
I had fun doing this..but I felt trapped at work- thankfully 2/10 is a Sunday! AND I'll have my real camera and not just the cell phone.
