Preppy Princess Lilly Giveaway
Head over to the Preppy Princess and enter her Lilly Stationery giveaway. She is giving away a Latte Da! mug and a Take Note Mouse Pad, both in Cabanarama. The drawing will take place next Wednesday, March 3.
It's been raining here for over 24 hours. Yesterday it rained hard. We had thunder, lightening, hail and a tornado. Today we have more rain and tonight after 10:00, it's suppose to start snowing. They have predicted 1"-3". We'll see.
For all of you "Are You Being Served?" fans, I wanted to let you know that Wendy Richard (Miss Brahms) passed away Thursday. Here is the obituary. Thanks to Toad for posting this yesterday.
We had an offer on the store. We are not accepting it. It is lower than what we will settle for. Maybe they will make another offer.

Thanks for the comments about my boss leaving. I felt better about it today. I was over the initial shock. This afternoon when coworker and I told Queenie, I almost started crying. Several people have asked me if my boss asked me to go with him. No, he hasn't. I'm not going to hold my breath. It might be a good move, but I've been where I am for 16 years. I have my seniority, my benefits and my vacation time. If he makes me an offer that I can't refuse, I'll go. That is, if he asks me. Since I have decided what it will take to leave, he won't ask.
This morning, BFF emailed me to ask me if I wanted to go see Sixteen Candles at the Alabama Theatre. I told her that I would have to pass because I had so much to do tonight. She tried all day to talk me into it. She would not take no for an answer. I don't know what was wrong with her. Finally, I told her point blank that I would have to pass. I hope she's not mad. This afternoon, she said that they had a meeting at work and it did not go well. I told her that if she needed to talk, to feel free to call me tonight. She said, "I'll be at the movies." Oh, well. She'll get over it.
I stopped by Barnes and Noble to buy Social Climbers by Beth Dunn. They didn't have it in stock. Instead I bought High Tea by Sandra Harper. I heard about it on Preppy Sue's blog.

Today, I learned that Wasp 101 and The Preppy Pauper are closing down their blogs. They will be missed.
I was sick yesterday with a horrible sinus headache. I have not had a headache that bad in a long time. I could not even hold my head up. I was okay when I left for work, but when I got there it was pounding. I took two sinus tablets and it did not even phase it. I went home about 9:30. When I got home, I went back to bed and slept for 3 hours. I still didn't feel that great. I just laid around and watched TV for the remainder of the day.
This morning, I felt about 85%. When I got to work, my boss called me into his office and closed the door. I have noticed him doing this with others. I figured that he was getting a good promotion or we were buying a bank. No, he told me that he was leaving the bank. I didn't know how to react. I want to break down and cry. I've been working for him for about 14 years. When I see his family, we always hug. I have been on the verge of tears all day. He told me that it would not be announced until Friday. I took it that I was not supposed to say anything. I did tell coworker and she was stunned. I told her not to mention it. She said that it explained some weird things around the office that she had noticed. He is one of the best managers that I've ever had. He is a graduate of Princeton and has an MBA from Wharton. He treats me like I'm smarter that him. Even though he comes from a privileged background and is an Ivy Leaguer, he is very down to earth. He does not think he is better or smarter than anybody. I almost feel like there's been a death.
On a good note, The Pink Pelican now has a blog. Check it out.

Tucker Blair Giveaway
Her Southern Charm is having a Tucker Blair giveaway. The rules are posted on her blog. Head over there and enter to win.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was nice.
Yesterday, my mother and I had to keep the nursery at church. Those kids were "hell on wheels". That was the longest 30 minutes of my life. Friday, they were predicting ice and snow for Saturday night and Sunday morning. I was keeping my fingers crossed. I was hoping that bad weather would keep the little "angels" at home, but they took the ice and snow out of the forecast. At least we didn't have a wrestling match like they did the week before.
Is anyone familiar with lodging in the Nashville area? I have to plan a meeting that is to be held in Nashville. In the past, we have had it at the Guesthouse Suites over by the Opryland, but it is not very convenient. I was thinking about Brentwood/Franklin area. Maybe something comparable to a Hampton Inn. Has anyone had any experiences or know of someone who has? I would appreciate any imput.
