Well girls as a first week at a new job goes, it hasn't been so quiet!

First the run in with one of my employees (which btw has been resolved) and now I've gone and blown up the family BBQ! Yep, 911 call, family staring on in horror and BBQ engulfed in flames. sigh.

All I can say is we're blessed because nobody was hurt. The only casualties were my bangs and half of the eyelashes on my left eye. I swear this will be funny later on but right now my poor ego is a bit on the bruised side. I wonder why?

I have a lot of gratitude though. My new bosses were beyond wonderful. They even called me this morning to make sure I was ok. And you know what? I am ok.

Today is a new day. I will quietly go forth and walk gently and lovingly upon the earth!

Hope your day is a good one!

Hugs,

Linder

Wow, Linda, you are so blessed that it wasn't worse! I'm glad you're ok and that you didn't end up with serious injury or losing your house or anything because of it. I'm guessing it was a gas bbq?
