One Day At A Time....

     Every year at my office, the president of the company gets flowers delivered from some lady for Sweetest Day. (He's not married. And why the flowers are delivered to the office is beyond me; the guy spends 98% of the week outside the office. I may see him for an few hours every couple weeks. They literally sit on his office coffee table for weeks and dry out.

Flexibility -      I just walked outside to get the mail from the mail box and I...

Today was not a good day. Nearing the end of my work day, I was about to bite off heads. Nothing major happened, just a lot of little things adding up that I did not appreciate. (Even getting a page of extremely small typing thru the fax machine made me really mad!) There are times I go through stuff and realize I am not being appreciated for what I do.

Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken (Ingredient list and instructions can be found by clicking link above) (Photo credit-Sandy from CA) I have read that this is a very tasty recipe. So I decided that this is what I want to have for dinner/lunch this week. I just need to start it in the crock pot before work and come home to a mostly made meal!
