Can someone please tell me where the last 14 days have actually gone? Seriously....., I got back from Spring Break and on March 24th I sent out a little resume to in response to an opening that I heard about that was right up my alley. Office Manager for a woman owned business that had a need for my skills. The entire process took only a week and I was hired.
Then, I started the meltdown process where I had to core dump all of my knowledge of the current job into Policies and Procedures and train the "replacement", the boss's stepson. Don't even go there, trust me. My last day with the "old" company was April 11th. No rest for the weary....., I started the new job on Monday the 14th.
The first week has been a blur. I had to learn all of the accounting from the temp that had been there for the last two months....., and learn about what we actually do. I also had to assist the owner and her personal assistant with a huge presentation to a client by merging bios and other documents into special stationary. It is amazing sometimes at what the old brain actually stores up there.....This week has been a little less stressful, even though I just ran payroll for the first time.....
And lest you think that I have not been knitting, I have. I am almost done with Cherie Amour. I need to post some pictures ASAP. The baby alpaca is SO amazing! I have made some modifications to the front, and I'll record them in Ravelry for posterity. I have also been working on two Pay It Forward gifts......, they will be done after the Munckin's graduation!
I have also been gathering up my goodies for the Saucy Knitters Hot Sauce Swap and the Four Seasons Spring Swap. They will go out this week, maybe even today! I also have an Angel package that will be mailed this week, but I can't tell you anything else so that I can remain a secret until the package is received. I promise to post about it when I can.
Bear with me....I do have more pictures of the renovations to the back yard to share too....I will try to get another post in before Friday....and you will also see me lurking around your blogs again and posting comments. Watch for me on Ravelry...I have some delicious martini recipes to post as well....

Go you, bloggyland big sister!
I can't wait to see how your Cherie Amore came out. I purchased the yarn to do it as soon as the pattern came out and I have yet to cast on. There are just so many patterns out there!!!
Congrats on your new job! I am so jealous...
Well done on your new job! I am so please for you!
Congratulations on your new job!! That's wonderful! I hope that once you're up to speed it won't be nearly as stressful as it feels right now though. Don't forget to take some time to relax if you can :)
Can't wait to see Cherie Amour! I've been thinking about starting this one myself soon....

Congrats on the new job! That's so exciting! I can't wait to see the knitting photos and the pics of the backyard. I'm sure with your warm weather everthing is filling out beautifully. We're still waiting for the last frost here... by the end of May we should be safe!
