Fun and thoughtful gifts !!!

Happy late Saturday night Blogland neighborhood! Well, the MBIAJ Paperwork Dept has been putting in ALOT of LONG LONG hours over the past month or so with the day job that always spills over into nights and weekends (BORING !!!) Anyhow, this past week they received some fun and thoughtful gifts that help tremendously to alleviate some of the tedium and monotony. Evan (Moonbeams Boy #2) went to Hershey Park a few days ago and bought his Moonbeams Mama ......




.....a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup mug !

Now, this mug isn't your everyday run of the mill mug ...nope.....to get a real feel for the size of this mug, you have to see it next to......




...the "Lucy" mug (which used to seem big) and a regular size mug .....that's one BIG MUG !!!!! ...... should keep the Paperwork Dept well caffeinated !!!! (WIRED and JUMPY !!!)


In addition to the HUGE MUG, the Paperwork Dept also received some fun thank you gifts from a Miss No Blog Pam who lives up the road from MBIAJ Headquarters. The Pet Sitting Dept took care of Pam's 2 kitties, 3 chickens, and a pond of big orange fish while Pam and family went to the shore for a couple of days.......and look at what she got them as a thank you ......




.....post it notes that say "more paperwork please" ........VERY funny Pam!

......and she also gave them ......


......this cocktail glass that says "another day in paradise" .....


......I'm loving this bathing suit ! (thinking this is the style for me with a big billowy skirt since I have a similar thigh problem) .... and the hair do .... maybe my hair will do that .... with LOTS of hair spray! .....anyhow, Pam also included something to put in that cocktail glass .....


......this lovely beverage !!!! PERFECT !!! (should counteract all the caffeine that fits into that Reese's mug !) THANKS Pam and Evan !!!! these things really do make the ENDLESS paperwork part of my job a little less mind numbning (kind of like Mary Poppins' spoon full of sugar making the medicine go down in the most delightful way)......however, the paperwork still does have a tendency to make you want to just lay down on top of all those papers and .....






.......take a nap (that's Sam, my assistant for today's paperwork marathon)







Unfortunately, with all of this paperwork busy ness and the long hours of driving during the day, the Sewing / Quilting Dept hasn't had much time for either (sewing or quilting) ..... BUT, they did notice that the homecare agency that the Day Job Dept has been working for has .......




......a quilt block as their logo !!!! Imagine that !!!









Be back soon! (hopefully with some fun sewing or drawing or quilting or baking ..... well, you get the picture ..... ANYTHING other than paperwork !!)

Toodles,
