Weekly Highlights

Hello world! Today I organized 1.5 cabinets with all of the rest to go. I did not realize that there were so many cabinets to go through. I would show you the before and after, but no one really wants to see that... do they? 

I think I am going to start working toward my business analyst certification this year. It will help me if anything happens to the sweet gig I have now. 

What are you doing today?

Let it SNOW!

 It has snowed.... again. Why? Why? Well.. apparently it is January and it snows in January. The dog and I both agreed that we would wait to go on a long walk until after the snow was mostly gone.

Did I tell you I really don't like snow?
