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.

Yay for working at home. Hope to see you soon. I'm knitting a baby item too...for a friend's baby. It feels so good to knit baby clothes. Quick and satisfying. It might become a favorite, next to socks, that is.
Happy Birthday! And thanks for sharing the wonderful cake. White cake and strawberries like that is one of my favorites.
I'm so glad things are moving along with your job. And congratulations on your much deserved raise.
Happy belate birthday.
