V-Day surprises




This past valentines day the owner of the company I work for brought in a bunch of candy for us. During lunch one day I got to looking at the candy. They were bight size twix, recees etc... wrapped in shinny pink and red paper. I noticed that they had the to / from on the package so that you could give them as a valentine. I made the comment of how things have changed since I was a kid. We were lucky if we even got the valentine heart candy or red suckers. Even though I didn't like the red suckers I still wanted to get one.


On Valentines day I walked to my desk and saw a red plastic heart full of m&m's & red heart suckers. I didn't think anything of it until my friend said something to me. She asked me if I had seen the suckers. I said yes but wasn't making that much of it as I assumed we all had received them. Tammy told me that Stacy (our boss) had gotten those just for me. She wanted me to have red suckers since I never got them growing up. We laughed about it. It was a sweet idea. The suckers were gourmet and much better than the cheap ones. I think that's the best valentines gift I've received to date. :)

Caddy


I love pets and I've always wanted one, I just couldn't have them. I have allergies on top of asthma which makes it 10 times worse. I'm allergic to anything with fur even with medication I still suffer. I've found a solution to my problem. My neighbor is a good friend of mine and recently bought a dog. They named her Cadillac and call her caddi for short. She's a white and taupe imperial Shih Tzu and is a joy to be around. If the weather is nice she comes over and I'll toss the ball with her. She loves to sit underneath a tree in the yard and she loves to use our yard as her bathroom. Joy (neighbor) has said anytime I want to take her to the dog park or on a walk I'm welcomed to. If the garage is up and caddy's out she comes hopping on over. She's precious. Today when I arrived home from church she saw me pull up and ran over to greet me. We played for a bit then went for a walk. I think we were both worn out by the time we got back. Having Caddy next door is like having a pet. I get the benefits of having a pet without all the hassle. Not to mention she doesn't bother my allergies that much.
