Won't you be my neighbor?

So much newsy news....

1) I've been hired full time as a salaried Designer for my company. Along with that pleasant boost, I'm being given a nice package of perks, including... A CORNER OFFICE. That's right people. I'm going to have my own door and 3 windows. I'm big time now!

2) My sister Mary learned that she is going to have a GIRL! She is due in the beginning of June and they have chosen the name, " Annemarie Thomas".

3) We are seriously contemplating a move. We have a fact finding appointment set up with the bank next week to find out where we stand, and then.... It's on to the house hunt!

4) We are postponing Europe and the puppy. :( It kind of bums me out, but we've got to take care of some more important things first. (a.k.a. a car for Tim, Health Care, etc.) But we are still planning on locking in 2008 as the year of Erin & Tim Abroad. The puppy thing is being postponed until we get our own place. Plus, my Dad is in charge of breeding my Mom's Dachshund(Joy is her name), so until he finds another dog that thinks Joy is cute... we're just going to have to wait.


5) We just watched the movie, "The Queen" and it is excellent.... It's not for the action film lovers, it's a bit talky....but Helen Mirren is fantastic in it.

7) I'd like to send a shout out to my favorite people of the week: (excluding Tim of course...everyone knows he's ALWAYS my most favorite person)
Gillian "Winkie" Wink - She makes me laugh, she sends superior shopping links, and I find her smarty pantsyness to be good medicine
Jack "SSgt" Keeler - An old Frenemie that has come 'round due to all this reunion talk. A witty conversationalist and bonafide smart ass. Quality people...

That's all for now...

p.s. I submitted photos of Daisy to stuffonmycat.com, so keep your eyes peeled for her internet debut...

congrats on the new office.

too bad about delaying the trip to Europe, but health care is WAY more important. Europe will always be there.

we've been looking at coops here, we're thinking about buying one soon. but, have no idea what we would qualify for. i'm sure you'll find a great place.

How exciting about the job and the house. Quite a grand adjustment to civilian life.
