Stitch-y update and good news on the job front....

I was planning to post this last Saturday on the 24th but it didn't get crossed off my to-do list until tonight. Anyway...

First the good news.... On April 16 I was officially given full time permanent status at my place of employment as an electronics stockroom clerk. Complete with a raise -- $9.00 an hour. Not only did I get a raise, but I am now eligible for health insurance that the company offers to their FT employees. For the first time in my life I actually have a health care plan. *WAHOO*

On the stitch-y front I haven't had much time to work on Berlin Woolwork Sampler, just Saturdays. So this is an interim snap showing motif 19 and part of 15 [of part 2]. In fact I've been rather tired from chronic fatigue and haven't been stitching at all for the last 2 weekends. (I won't update my webpage until I get all of part 2 finished.)



However.... To celebrate my status as FT permanent, I went a little wild with the credit card and bought myself Garmin GPS unit for my car, plus an HP 10-inch notebook, an external DVD writer, and mouse as accessories. Now I'll never get lost when I go on road trips by myself and I'll have e-mail/internet access at free wi/fi hot spots while I'm traveling.

That's all for this blog blurb.....
