Hello Friday!

I’ve said it before… just when I think I couldn’t be any happier to see Friday… I become happier than ever to see Friday!

Flowers from Wendy

and her Nana.

This week Wendy graciously presented me with amaryllis from her beloved Nana’s garden.  With Nana’s house on the market, Wendy is collecting as many of the precious plants that she can.  Wendy gave me three bulbs that will someday grow beautiful red flowers and two plants that will produce white flowers.  I brought them home with me on Tuesday and planted them right away.  I’ve added the red bulbs to my very small flower garden in the front yard.  The [white amaryllis] plants have a new home in the screened enclosure out back.  Wendy explained that the white flowers are rare and would need to be kept in a place where they aren’t likely to come into contact with bees so there would be no cross pollination.  I haven’t been able to find this same information online, but I’ll give Wendy credit for knowing what she is talking about.  After all I give her credit 94% of the time at work (hee hee).

Also I love her dearly!

To Wendy’s Nana:  I promise your amaryllis will have a happy home!

I can’t wait to see them bloom!

This Floral Blouse

Once again I’ve fallen victim to online shopping this week at LOFT.com.  This top is regularly $54.50.  I managed to get it for $21.97 (and free shipping) using Honey + 2% cash back from Ebates.

The Package Fairy will be visiting me soon.

Guess How Many M&Ms contest

There are typically contests of some sort at work.  On occasion there will be a FUN contest.  This week brought about that exception.  A bottle similar to that of a wine bottle [slightly smaller] filled with plain M&Ms was presented to our team as a prize to the person who could guess the number of M&Ms inside.  I counted the M&Ms on the bottom of the bottle and the number of rows up to the neck and multiplied.  Then I added that product to the number of M&Ms I counted in the neck.  The number I came up with was 597.  Since a regular wine bottle holds about 3 cups and there are supposed to be 200 plain M&Ms in one cup,  I thought 597 was a safe number to submit.  So I did.

I was wrong.

 

 

At this time I do not know the total number of M&Ms, but the winner submitted the number 725.

I’ll celebrate with Kathy because she is my friend.

Enjoy your M&Ms Kathy.

M&Ms in a Bottle

I’m going to buy my own bottle, fill it up with M&Ms, and set it on my desk.

Apparently I’m a sore loser.

 Date night with LB

Thursday at 3:40PM, I received this text from LB:

 

LB: Are you free tonight? I’d like to take you on a date!

Kimberly: I am free and would love to go on a date with you! The only plans I have are to be with you wherever you are!

 

LB:

 

 

 

 

 

Kimberly:

 

 

 

 

 

LB: show starts at 7:30… doors open at 6:30

Kimberly: I can be ready!

LB: we’ll shoot to leave 630-645

Kimberly: will you be picking me up in your fancy red car?

LB: Absolutely!!!

 

The date would turn out to be an evening with Johnny Mathis “The Voice of Romance Tour 2018” which deserves a post of its own.

 

 

Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
