When My Mom Comes...

Today I was talking to my wonderful mom about when she comes to visit. After talking about our mutual excitement I asked her what she'd like to do while she's here. Her answer made me smile....

pile into bed at night and watch movies that aren't even funny and laugh really hard like they are
and stay up late
and then wake up and take walks in the mountains
and take pictures
and take long drives and stop wherever we want to
and run into shops we have never seen before
and if we wander too far from home just check into a hotel
and order pancakes for breakfast
and listen to music that brings back memories of my little girls
and call each other names like stupid and dummy...but not mean it at all
unless we are being stupid or dumb

I have the best mom on the planet.

Company History

The month of September...I made company history. Our company is a business training and leadership company. We have a program called the Performance Index that gives employees "scorecards" that detail their responsibilities. At the end of each month, you sit down with your boss and you score your scorecard. The categories are: Does not meet expectations, partially meets expectations, meets expectations, exceeds expectations, and far exceeds expectations.

The month of September was a FULL one. Of all the months to set a goal to reach far exceeds expectations, this was definitely the most busy one. I worked over weekends and was very tired. But I DID IT! I made company history by being the first ever to reach Far Exceeds Expectations.

On Friday, Peter made me STAND at the company meeting while the office applauded. He knew how much I'd hate that. That's why he did it. But I sure have the best boss anyone could hope for.

And I got a nice little bonus this month :)
