The Pants have arrived!

Hey gals
I am happy to report that the Pants arrived yesterday & boy am I excited to have them in my possession. I was sitting at my desk making my way through my work & saw the Fed Ex man pull up to my house. Of course I was expecting him to be delivering boring payroll checks for Brian's employees & boy was I surprised when the package was for me. I frantically opened it, a sense of excitement came over me & I rushed upstairs to put them on immediately. (By the way, I would like to add a rule if it is not too late that if at all possible, you must try to wear the Pants on the same day as their arrival-what do you gals think?) I had an appt for someone to look at the house 30 minutes after the arrival of the Pants so we will see what happens there. We did get an offer by the way (not a very good one, but an offer at that-negotiations are underway, so I will update you all if I hear any good news.) After reading all of these emotional posts, I must admit that I feel like my house selling woes are really not all that important in the scheme of life. But nonetheless, it is the cause of much anxiety for me these days.

I must also share that our good friend Liz nominated me for this award at work & I got it! I was so shocked when our Medical Director "presented" the award to me in our staff meeting on Monday. Of course it is a difficult presentation when I am only on the phone 3,000 miles away from the office. What a nice way to start the week huh? With the award comes company wide recognition of course which is really nice & a LARGE bonus of $100. Liz & I were cracking up that this award that had to be approved by about 300 committees came with a whopping bonus. Hmm I thought Wellpoint made billions of dollars? OK I shouldn't sound ungrateful-I am thrilled to be recognized for my work, but it gaves us a chuckle nonetheless. OH and prepare yourselves to chuckle some more once we take a picture of Liz presenting the award to me when she comes to visit. Our manager wants her to follow through with this request so a picture can be posted on our company website. We have decided that I will wear the Pants for the shot. How silly, but we will post the shot here if it actually turns out.

OK I really must get back to work now. More to come as the Power of the Pants continues.
