Fun at work

 They company I work for frequently does things to put a little fun in your day. They recently had a flash challenge where you were to make some paper snowflakes and submit a picture. If you participate you can earn points towards different things. 

I made a few snowflakes but they were a bit sad

I also made another gnome ornament. This time it's red because Cecilla from My Minds Eye put that idea in my head when I posted the other one.

Happy Ground Hogs Day

 I don't care whether that ground hog sees his shadow or not. I'm ready for spring now. The temps this week are going to be better than they were last week but still COLD.

Last Thursday It was super cold with negative temps. I left for work and was going to take my shoes but decided to take my slippers instead. Yes, I also have a blanket at work too. If you think this is bad, the other girl has an electric blanket that she uses. It's warm enough in our office but the blanket adds another layer of comfort on a cold day.

Even though it was cold, the sun was shining which made it feel just a bit better. I took some pictures through the window

We had another day that week that was nice and sunny all day long then an hour before it was time to leave it started snowing like crazy. I was stressing that whole hour about the drive home. It was all good though because the roads hadn't gotten too bad and the ride was uneventful.

Not every story has a happy ending

 Some stories just stick with you more than others. The story of Aimee is one of those.

This is a post I've been following on Facebook and it's not a happy one. If you don't want to cry, you may want to skip this post.

The only bright spot in this story is that the two people who were responsible for Aimee's neglect are in custody

Aimee didn’t get the ending she deserved, but she wasn’t alone at the end. The kind people at the Anna Shelter  showed up for her, fought for her, and made sure her suffering wasn’t ignored. If you have room in your life to support a rescue, foster, donate, or simply share their work, do it in her name. It’s one way to make sure her story leads somewhere better.

Facebook finds.

 This is a screenshot of a post I saw on Facebook

This is from the store where I used to work. I found so much wrong with this. Number one she keeps using the word "homemade". Years ago a health inspector told us we were not allowed to use that word. It had to be store made. Second, she's making all kinds of things from scratch which is not the least bit cost effective for an in store bakery. Apparently during the holiday season she had them making a wide variety of cookies all from scratch. Lastly the price got me. I'm cheap so maybe $20 is normal but it seems awfully expensive to me. 

I love the craft things I see on facebook. They don't annoy me like the above post. I thought this was totally adorable. I couldn't find any instructions but I'm thinking it would be pretty easy to figure out
