ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job!I'm happy for you too.
ReplyDeleteNew shoes are important! Glad your first day went well...and I want to see The Butler too!
ReplyDeleteI'm still watching PR but I also wonder why.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job!!!

Settling into a new job is a bit of a stressful time, but no doubt you will be at home very quickly. Can't wait to see what lovely thing you will create next. I get much inspiration from you. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThought of you today so glad that it went well. I didn't sleep well either (but the first day of school isn't for a while - I'm a teacher ;))
ReplyDeleteHope things continue to improve for you AND you sort stuff out with the cable company. Doesn't seem to matter who you use (at least up here in Canada) they can all be a pain sometimes.
That company is mighty lucky to have you. Joy for you!

ReplyDeleteWanted to send my congratulations your way. You have been in my prayers. First days can be rough.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Debbie, that is all fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad it's going well! But, isn't the Time Warner thing over CBS? My BrightHouse (Tampa Bay rendition) is receiving CBS fine. I just switched over to Letterman to double check, a-ok with the little CBS eye down in the corner? Anyway, so glad things are looking up! K
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the Great British sewing bee, I am done with project runway drama.
ReplyDeleteI tried watching PR last week and I gave up - too much drama, not enough sewing pizazz.
I'm so happy for you. Sleep well and have a great week. I always have to go pretty much straight to bed the first week in a new job.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job! Yay for being able to buy new shoes! :oD
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Debbie :-) Glad to hear that things are moving along for you. Thoughts across the miles .... Flo in Germany.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you that things are going in the right direction now!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that we sleep badly when we so desperately want to be fresh for the next day?? Oh well, day 1 down, good luck for the rest of the week
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on rejoining the ranks of the shoe-enabled! And good luck with the new job. I'm sure you'll do great.
ReplyDeletePS, I only watch PR these days so I can get the inside jokes in Tom & Lorenzo's recaps.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job--been pulling for you!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Sounds like a great first day to me. As for Time Warner -- everyone hates them. And strangely enough, it doesn't seem to matter if you get residential, commercial or telecom from them, either, which is sort of comforting in a strange way. They treat all their customers the same way. :(
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your random thoughts. Happy for you and your new job. New shoes are certainly important. Sorry you missed Dexter. I don't want Breaking Bad or Dexter to end but what's a fellow to do? Both are great series.
ReplyDeleteAlways love a random post. So glad you're back at permanent work. I take it that you're not doing graphic work but legal.
ReplyDeleteDH and I are watching PR. It's like an accident. It's hard to turn away. As always, it's hard to keep all of them straight at first. Now that we've gotten free of some of the MOST dramatic participants, maybe we'll settle down? Maybe?
Debbie, you sound like yourself again. Of course, you are suppose to be pooped after little sleep at night and a first day on the job. Congratulations on finding a job with patient and nice co-workers! I hate Bright House negotiations and Project Runway (only watched a little of one episode and said good-bye). I love movies and buying new shoes!!
ReplyDeleteTransitions are tough! Hopefully, you'll find your groove quickly.
ReplyDeleteYay! Gainful employment!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like this is a big transition year for many of us, myself included. Good luck in your new venture! If you keep writing, I'll keep reading!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie!! I just featured you on my Wednesday Showcase post. Please put your OOORAH wallet back up on Etsy!
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy for you....congrats. I want to see The Butler, too. But I don't like going to movies alone. :(
ReplyDeleteHooray Hooray I hope you are starting to feel "normal"
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! New job. YAYAYAYAYAY!
ReplyDeleteNew shoes? Definitely :)
Debbie, I am very happy for you. I hope your first week went well.
ReplyDeleteClaudia
Hooray for the new job! Love your happy dance (previous post). Hope you get some meaningful sewing room time this weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I hate my cable provider, too, even though it's NOT TimeWarner. They all charge too much.
