#24 I was in the local newspaper
See the person sitting on the couch in gray? That's me. The article has nothing to do with me, but it is about this couple who have given a lot to the community and specifically the special needs community of this area, so much that the main office building of the company I work for, LifeWorks, has been named after them. I just happened to be in the office the day they took the pictures. I am leading a very exciting game of Bingo in the background.

New Book and Old Book I found again...
I am right now reading two books which I don't do as a general rule, but I am enjoying both so for my new #23 I recommend both of them for different reasons as must reads.
1st - Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss
2nd - UnPlanned by Abby Johnson

Both books tell the story of a woman's life through her own thoughts and that's about where the similarities end. I am enjoying seeing how each woman works through trying to DO the best she can only to realize her best is not enough. Realizing that she can have the best motivation but without Truth she is deceived.

A few more "New" things to add to my list
19. See my New Shelf behind me? Finally found what I was looking for at Ross.
20. New Hair Cut, New Hair Color, new bangs...So fun! I just let Nikki at Esteem Salon go with it and so far I like the change. I was told I looked younger, I will take that.
21. Met with client at local pregnancy center this morning! Some of you may be wondering how I claim this to be something new, but it is for here - I don't have a full day like I did in TN or NC so it has taken longer to adjust to volunteering at this center but I am still loving it.
22. Showed up to work to be sent to get petty cash from main office and go buy lunch for everyone! This is not the normal but it was moving day for one of our clients. I picked up pizza from Bruno's - so yummy I even ate pizza today - I may regret that later.

I only have 8 more "New" things to come up with! I hope one of those will be a "New Tan" I can't believe how much I glow in these pictures - winter is WAY too long here!

I WON!
#17 - I won a raffle at The Electric Bean!
I never win these things and I got to pick a prize basket out of a table full of fabulous options. I went for the one with coffee, candy, treats, mugs and a basket. What fun. I should have taken a pictures but too late now. And I have decided to add as my #18 my visits to the newly opened Electric Bean Coffee House. I have been everyday this week - Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I had fabulous Republic of Tea, Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea the first two visits and then today went for a Hazelnut Latte - may just be one of my new favorite spots to be.
