I WON!

And I never win anything!  Well, definitely not anything quite this exciting!  Debi Y had a 500 Followers Giveaway and the grand prize was all of THESE neat things!  can't wait to see what sort of fun I can create when it arrives!

I also found about earlier today that my office was closing at 2:00 tomorrow - "early dismissal" for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  This is always sort of an assumed thing that we get, but they're really waited until the last minute this time to tell us about it.  Shortly after the announcement came out, I found out that our dept doesn't have to come in at ALL tomorrow!!!!  I'm still waiting to hear if Jonathan can take the morning off from work but fingers crossed we'll get in late afternoon tomorrow and I'll actually get to quickly see my ***parents and Grannie before Jonathan and I head off to Michigan on Thursday! YAHOO!!!!!! Talk about a great surprise and reward for all the hard work I've put in here recently.....today is officially my lucky day!

now, back to all the work I gotta get done before I race home to pack!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I probably won't have time to get on here again until next week, but I'm sure I'll have an update post on the crocheting done while we travel this weekend.

***Any one reading this who may see my parents or Grannie between now and 5:30 when I leave work today, please know that I haven't shared my surprise with them yet so please don't ruin it for me!!!!
