Total Score!

I got a really early start this morning, and I have no idea why. Normally I get out of bed at about 7:00, shower, look at the paper and eat something and leave at about 7:45. Munchkin gets to school at about 7:50 and I get to work at 7:55 (I told you it was a short walk!). Then I spend an hour or so checking some emails and maybe following up on stuff from yesterday.

At 9:00 or so, I take a quick break to blog and to read everyone else's blogs:-) When I am done with that, I start in on the real work for the day.

But today, I was awake at about 6:00, so I did all the email checking and whatnot from home before I came to work. Which means I have now already read everyone's blogs for the day, left a few comments and am writing this one. Could this lead to a tremendously productive day? Or maybe it will just mean that I have lots of time I feel like wasting...we shall see!

I also scored a killer new coat, which I am pretty happy about. It used to belong to the 15 year old daughter of a guy I work with...I apparently told her at a work-thing last winter that I really liked it (I don't remember this, but it probably happened...lol) so since she outgrew it, she told her dad to bring it in and see if I wanted it. Never mind that I am getting hand-me-downs that teenagers have outgrown...it is a gorgeous cashmere topcoat that she didn't wear much and that I intend to thoroughly enjoy! Total score.

So that was a pretty good start to the day:-) One more reason to love the people I work with:-)

Speaking of that...I need to go through all of Munchkin's (and my) stuff and send a lot of it to Goodwill. She outgrows stuff really fast, and with the move coming up, I would like to get rid of the stuff she doesn't need any more. Of course, that is just going to highlight more stuff she does need...ahh well, no one ever said kids were free...

Waking up on your own (and so early) and getting a free cashmere coat definitely seems like a good way to start the day. Maybe you'll find out today that your bonus is twice your salary or something unbelievable like that:)

LOL at getting a coat that a 15 year old outgrew! I guess it goes along with the fact you wear little boys jeans.

Still just me said...

I buy a lot of our stuff at a second hand store that donates all their proceeds to different charities. Most of the clothing comes from Aspen, so it is practically brand new, and once very expensive.

They also sell furniture, and I bought a table that once belonged to Gerald Ford.

How did she remember that you'd said you liked it? You must make quite the impression when you meet people! Mmm, coats are nice - free or other wise hehe.

I'm jealous of your early morning alone - I've woken late every day this week and the house is full of people :/
