Cool and the Gang made that song a hit in the 1980's. So here is what I am celebrating:
1. My project is FINALLY going live with one of the databases end of this month and it's up to the client to get their act together this time; not my company - hah! The second database should be similar and going up in January. This means I will be working on getting a project closer to home so I won't be a surburban Detroit inmate soon.
2. Just received my annual review and I am getting a 4% increase in salary. This doesn't mean I am going out to buy more cashmere but now I can feel comfortable that I made that assault on my budget from BB's Knits. I am thinking of a Vegas knitting weekend at a Marriott resort so I can use my hotel points......
3. I am still surviving without an iPhone!! Hell, I am still surviving without my own laptop. My work PC is upgraded to Microsoft Vista and a new Dell machine. Working with Vista is a different story where i don't want to spoil the celebratory message
4. I am working from home this week so I can work on 4 different projects simultaneously. Poka-dot project: working on last sleeve piece; Multi-blue pullover: completed back piece, working on front (3-yarn project); Einstein's jacket: resurrecting yarn that was meant for something else and thrown to the side.....working on bottom piece; Baby Einstein: new project just started this past weekend with Baby Bamboo yarn - love it!
Just working from home puts me in a better disposition. What a concept! Cheers to the American housewives out there.

In Person Star Entourage
One more experience of star gazing....
While going through the security check at the Detroit airport, I realized that Stevie Wonder was in front of me being guided through as he walked through the scanner. Looked like a skinny body guard was behind him. I was thrilled! After the security check he was sitting in a chair while Northwestern attendants were standing around him. I walked on, hearing girls scream "Stevie" in the terminal; then watched him and the entourage circle around him as he joined me on the tram to the gate. Everyone in the tram car is saying, "That's Stevie Wonder!" as though he wasn't able to hear anyone whispering this. I proceeded to follow him down the escalators from the tram ride; I couldn't find the nerve to say anything since the entourage was around him along with a female companion - like I was going to hit on him, right.
It was quite a treat to be in the presence of such a master artist! I think that if I was in the same space as Tom Hanks I would definately pass out! What is the likelyhood of that happenening?
