It's been a very long week but it's finally Friday. I officially accepted the promotion yesterday and there's just a few details to be worked out but like I thought, its pretty much just business as usual. A few more manuscripts are winging their way to me and Kieran's confident I can work through them pretty quickly.

Chris was just a little concerned the new job title would put a little too much on my plate but he's being very supportive. He says we'll figure out a way to work around any problems that crop up. More than anything else I was thrilled when he told me how proud he is of me. Guess somewhere inside there's still that little girl seeking approval.

Even better, he's home with us this weekend. Connor, however, is off to spend tomorrow night with Joe and Pam so he can watch all the races, but the girls are home. I think maybe we'll have dinner at Grisoles Saurday to celebrate my new job. And I think it will even be my treat.

I worked for a little while on Quaker Garden and here's a progress pic. Hopefully I can get it done soon and make it into a pillow for the living room.
