The weekend wrap-up

Hi all!

So how was everyone's Valentine's Day? Actually, let me back up a bit…

Friday was kind of crazy at work. I had those 50 whoopie pies I needed to distribute, which is always like a three-ring circus. Then I had three people show up at my desk wanting to buy some. Umm…sorry, no extras to sell! That's why I do PRE-ORDERS people! [shakes head]

Then the color laser printer I have at my desk (which is mine, not the company's) which I just bought from Staples less than two weeks ago stopped printing color. ARGH! I was back and forth with Brother's customer service people all freaking day for them to tell me - it needs service. The hell it does! It's brand new! So then I had to get with Staples and arrange for a new one to be shipped to me and the defective one picked up by FedEx. Annoying!!

It was also Taco Friday at work for lunch, which was set up buffet style. It was only $5.00, which was a great deal. But of course some people were absolute pigs. Everyone was taking two tacos until these two showed up (who everyone knows goes around eating everything they can find in the office) and took five each! I was proud of a co-worker of mine for speaking up and calling them on it, saying it was incredibly rude and now others wouldn't have anything at all. It fell on deaf ears, though, as the pigs just turned and walked away with the ten tacos. But at least they were shamed in front of everyone.

The weather report had been calling for sub-zero temperatures on Saturday and snow on Sunday, so John and I had our Valentine's Day dinner on Friday instead. Nothing fancy - just IHOP. They were running a Buy One Get One Free so why not take advantage of it? I had delicious raspberry white chocolate chip pancakes and John had a skillet breakfast. Yum!

Saturday was rather boring. It was most certainly freezing out so I spent the day catching up on TV shows on the DVR and even ended up taking a nap.

Sunday was a bit more productive. It did indeed snow ALL freaking day so I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere. Instead I was a busy bee and finished my new ebook! Woot! Broken Soldier is DONE! And it clocked in at 50,103 words, meeting my goal. I now need to start the editing process and get the cover art done. I'm hoping to have it published by the middle of next month. :-)

For Valentine's Day, I got John the DVD of Spectre since he's a huge James Bond fan and he got me the new X-Files anthology book. Yay!  And we had pizza for dinner since we weren't leaving the house. :-)

And that's about it! How was YOUR weekend?
