Follow Friday 40 and Over!!

Happy Friday everyone! Have I told you lately how much you all mean to me? You are all such a wonderful group of friends...I feel like I've known you for a long time and its a nice little group we have here isn't it?? We are all lucky to have each other and share in our life experiences!!!

Today is my last day of work as the store manager!  I start my new job Monday at the Dept. of Revenue.  I am super excited!  It has been a really stressful week.  They haven't replaced me yet and are still interviewing for it.  I was unsure about my decision, but after this week I am 110% sure that I made the right decision and couldn't be happier about it!  I will let you know on Tuesday how my first day went!

Tonight is my sister's 40th birthday party.  Then tomorrow is Short's last basketball game...Sunday is a Superbowl party at my parents house with family and friends..and then my new job Monday.  Lots going on!!

And now....Follow Friday!  Hope everyone has a super weekend!

As a special gift, if your blog is selected and you do not have a blog button, I will make one for you!!!  Plus I will add your button to my Awesome Blogs  page!!

    When oh when oh when oh when do I get to be grown up enough to be on the Friday Hop! Boooo! Age discrimination! Booo! If I add up the ages of myself and my animals we make it over 40 easy. Can we do a collective age count? ;)

    Congratulations on the new job! Pack a GOOD lunch for Monday and have an EXCELLENT day at work! First and last!

    Good morning. I found this blog a couple of weeks ago & I love it. I decided to participate in Follow Friday but since this is my first blog hop, I'm having a bit of a problem (of course). I clicked to enter my URL at Linky and I filled in the required fields clicked on add link and nothing has happened. Does it take awhile for the link to show on the list? I can't wait to visit blogs today after work.

    Thanks, Debra

    Good Luck on the new job. My stepdaughter works for the Dept. of Revenue and it was a great move for her.
    I wish we lived closer and we could run the marathon together..what a hoot that would be. I will be recording my journey on my other blog Shawn a Marathon Runner in Training. I am reading a book with a 6 month plan that appears to be very doable!

    Wow. The computer gods are messing with me today. I posted a comment with my URL and it has disappeared into cyberspace, Java.

    Lets try again.

    Good luck on Monday! I am sure you will be very happy…But remember, the first few days are hard, so if you are not madly excited / loving it, don’t get discouraged…give it a little time…

    I was actually hoping this was an Over 40 Book Blogger follow, but it looks like a good place to hang out anyway.
