Things I did today:
1. Got paid to blog about Route 66. Really. Check out the new blog I made.
2. Got paid to work on a newsletter for a nonprofit group. Really. (I love my job….)
3. Hung up a piece of Jamie’s original artwork at the office. Framed and matted, no less.
4. Bought stuff for the latest Craftster challenge.
5. Got a stick-on LED light to go on the back side of my file cabinet so I can see to plug in my computer.
6. Bought a rainsuit for walking to the office on soggy days.
7. Received the cute new messenger bag I ordered the other day.
8. Downloaded the new B-52’s album.
9. Bought some cute Sesame Street ponytail holders made of shaggy, Muppet-textured material with Muppet eyes attached to them to look like Cookie Monster, Oscar, and Elmo.
10. Found two awesome stuffed animals for Jamie — one of the bear from Hop on Pop, and one of Fox in Socks — for $5 apiece at Kohl’s.
11. Had dinner with Ron.
I think I’ll go work on my 101 Things list now….

Red Fork Hippie 
Glad to hear Jamie has contributed to your office decor. He received the socks you sent him last week, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to call you and properly thank you. 🙂 You should have seen him in his Easter clothes and newsboy hat. He looked just like a miniature Warren Beatty. Or maybe Robert Redford’s character in “The Sting.” Very dashing. Until he put Cool Whip all over his sweater vest, that is. I figure Aunt Emily will appove of anything covered in Cool Whip, though, especially a cute nephew!!
I like it that Mainstreet Redfork has you as their blogger. Man, what a good match. Your personal blog alone has helped put Red Fork out there as a distinct place. I had actually read your blog for quit awhile early last year before I realized Red Fork was associated Tulsa.
Sounds like a great day! Isn’t it fantastic to find yourself in a job that you can genuinely love?
It’s wonderful. I genuinely loved my old job, too — especially my staff, whom I miss terribly — but I often found myself struggling to fill the time. I’m never bored these days … and if I ever get bored, I pretty much have license to do any crazy project I can think of, as long as it benefits our little share of Route 66.
