Good ideas. I'm leaning toward the St. Jude donation, but will wait to see what java's friend suggests. One last thing, does this seem appropriate to send?
Just wanted to let you know I got the package yesterday. Thank you so much - I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to prepare. They are wonderfully sweet items and we will think fondly of BABY and your family when Shane wears them.
Does she live near you? I was going to suggest thanking her with a spa gift certicate or take her out to get nails done. Something with just her or the two of you and that way you're acknowledging her kindness without focusing on the pain, if that makes sense.
She doesn't live near me, but that would be a great idea.
Sorry to kill the thread.
Let me distract you with my adorable DW! [link]
"Adorable" seems not quite strong enough an adjective!
What a lovely family you have, GC!
Thanks, peeps! I think I'll keep 'em. I'm excited because DW is done with her job as of next Friday and then we have a whole month together with Shanie before I go back to work (and DW becomes a stay at home mom). It'll be so nice not to be on my own anymore. This baby thing is hard work!
omnis, I don't suppose you could just take your personal days and floating holidays (and even sick days if you really wanted to push it) and not work some of the time until you officially leave? r make your oficial quitting day later and get more paychecks?
