Busy weekend and work week before Celebration

Remember the Primitive Baby Shoe Ornament Giveaway from and October 2009 post? Well... I WON! (picture at end of this post) I just received it yesterday in the mail. Actually it arrived early last week but I had to wait until Saturday to pick it up at the post office because my work hours prevent me from getting there for inside pickups. I would have received it in plenty of time to add it to my Christmas decorating but I failed to contact Teri @ White Sheep Primitive in a timely manner. Last fall got to be very stressful with the office being understaffed and full time college for me, so I didn't get to check in on the winner announcement. Teri was so wonderful though and held onto my little shoe and the next time I dragged my tired eyes stopped in to visit her blog, she left me a comment here to tell me I'd won and she just needed to know where to send the shoe. I absolutely love and the picture does not do it justice! Thank you so much Teri. I'll have to remember to post pictures with it included in my decorations.

This weekend has been productive for me. After the kitchen and bathroom was thoroughly cleaned (and my lungs only suffering a tad from the bleach), I spent some time redoing my blog. I've changed it around 2 or 3 times trying to find something I was really happy with. I'm sure it will change again at some point in the future too, but for now I'm happy with how it's looking. I went to a 3-column layout because I wanted more room to post some more great Blog Buttons for places I frequent. I googled to find the instructions on how to do some of the changes I wanted. I still plan to create a custom siggy for my posts, but that will just be a simple code insert.

Tomorrow starts a new full week. School is back in session so I am reading all about Coding (CPT and ICD-9-CM), there is lots to catch up on at work with in-house (corporate) auditors coming Tuesday. Their 'mock' audits are preparing us for the "Big Guys", aka Medicare, that will be here soon too. I'll let you know how that goes when it happens. My Anniversary (7 years) will fall in the middle of the week and there won't be time to do anything. Celebration will have to wait until the weekend, when I will be celebrating my 42nd birthday as well. Have a great week!

Isn't this the cutest little baby shoe ornament? :)
