This morning was one of the best work mornings in several weeks (granted, I was gone for most of the past few weeks- but still). I not only slept hard last night- but though tired when I woke up, I still felt ready to go. I knew I was opening with T, and I knew that we had our great patriotic art project to reveal to the CP community!

Fridays are a big to-do because it is the morning all of our products get delivered- this means along with getting the store set up, and it being one of our busiest mornings, you also have to try to put away a LOT of boxes of stuff (in a fairly small space). Oh- and it's 5am and you are still gaining the common sense a normal individual carries life out with.

As I said though- I was excited about this Friday morning. And once I discovered the others who would be joining our team this morning- I was even MORE excited. When Theresa told me Stephen and Megan were the next two in- I had to ask her a second time to make sure I'd heard right. It was a fantastic morning!! I love working with these guys- and Steve-Joe has been gone for weeks (and will be for another 4 weeks now), and Meg is typically the one who comes in right before I get off. So, it was T, Kim, Stephen, Meg and I, and we were sporting our new massive milk-carton-lid-Cp-style-flag! The only thing that could have made it better were if Aaron were there too to celebrate the final picture of our months of plotting and collecting.

Dude- bossman- we miss you. We're happy you are where you are, but the store definitely feels different without you (and your sometimes slightly inappropriate humor ;) We are looking forward to the bbq and celebrating all the good new changes in everyones lives- as well as the awesome past 18 months!

PS, hope you don't mind, but I shared the invite with a few friends- mostly just clearwire. They were all really excited to come to the bbq! ;)
