Nutella rocks!

Anybody who knows me knows that I LOVE Nutella! I grew eating Nutella as an afternoon snack and carried on my love for Nutella with Emma and Xavier. Last year there was a sticker on one of the containers of Nutella we purchased and info about different soccer positions. Loving Nutella and soccer Emma signed up on the Nutella Soccer website. We entered a contest where you could win small prizes leading up to a grand prize. Last year Emma won one of the small prizes, an official Nutella soccer ball which is awesome. Today Emma was awarded with the GRAND PRIZE!! Ready for what the grand prize is..... drum roll please..... A FOOSBALL TABLE!!!
Get out there and eat your Nutella! It's so worth it!
Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance!!!

New Job

It's been two weeks now that I have been working at my new and am really liking it. Basically I'm the Assistant Manager/Activities director/marketing/volunteer coordinator. LOL! It's all good. I like that it's not all business and computers. I get to set up for bowling, do exercises, call out bingo, play games, plan movie nights. It's fun. I also get to take people on tours and show then our place, and since we are not full yet, convince them that this is the best place to retire.
I think people out here are still trying to get used to the ideal of what a retirement community is. Most people think it's just a fancy nursing home, so that's one obstacle we need to overcome. We're not a nursing home, it's independent living with everything provided for you. Plain and simple.
The staff I work with is really friendly and cool to work with. I will try to find time to post more often, but that's going to be harder now that I work full time. As is right now, both kids were interested in watching a cartoon, so I took the opportunity to jump on the computer and now they are both next to me and Xavier's trying to tug me away. LOL!
