I fixed a vacuum cleaner, easter was fab, I took a trip back to WV & I got flowers at work!

It been a whole week since I last blogged, but it feels like just yesterday because I've been go go go. Which in true honesty I have. I went to West Virginia (where I used to live before moving to Ohio) to visit some family & to catch up with old friends. I drove down Saturday & drove back Sunday, which doesn't sound too bad .... but it's a 6 hour drive! I had so much fun hanging with my aunt & my friends. And I have to admit that while the drive was long, I kind of enjoyed the time to myself. Plus I like to sing really loudly along with the radio, so I indulged a little.
Here's a pic of me & my friends!

The weekend before that it was Easter! I celebrate Easter like I celebrate Christmas. I love love love wrapping gifts so I bought some Easter themed wrapping paper & got to work. Kiwi (my cat) got spoilt rotten & got a water spray bottle (she liked it to begin with then realised what it was used for = discipline!), some nail clippers (which surprisingly she didn't mind, she was a pro!) & a bunch of toys (nope she doesn't need any, like I said spoilt!)She had more fun ripping the paper while I was wrapping the gifts, than she did when we unwrapped them!

I also got a lovely surprise at work! In truely work with the most lovely people. Maverick Media is an awesome company & I feel so priviledged to work here. And in true 'awesome' fashion, I got a bunch of flowers & a giant balloon that said 'Thanks for a job well done!' ... it was so sweet & it truely made my day!

Also don't you just love it when you SURPRISE yourself? I thought I'd broken our vacuum cleaner so I just decided to go out & buy a new one. So, right before I got to putting together the new vacuum, I decided to see if our old vacuum (which isn't really old, we got it in December) was truely BROKEN! I found the manual & next thing you know I'm pulling apart the whole thing! What do you know, I found a sock .. then another .. then another!!!.... I removed a total of 3 socks from the vacuum .... I had fixed a VACUUM CLEANER! I know to most people that's not a ground-breaking achievement but that sort of thing (fixing vacuum cleaners) is quite foreign to me! So needless to say I trotted back to the store to return the new vacuum & we are now using our 'old' vacuum.

AND ... before I forget! We booked our vacation to the Cayman Islands - I think I might start wearing my flip flops & searching for another bikini very soon!
Bye for now!
