<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:purple">However I’m super happy because I received the greatest gifts from my SP yesterday!! I got a basset t-shirt that I’d *<b>never</b>* seen before (with a basset in the
breast pocket!!); a basset on a pillow figurine; an antique looking basset salt shaker; the coolest penguin paper clips and nail files (never seen either of those before either!!); basset head post-it notes; coffee candies for me and a couple of bags of breath
mints (Pedigree) and 3 Busy Bones for the girls!! We ALL just LOVE this time of year and LOVE all of our goodies!!! Thank you SP, whoever you are!!

Catalina salad dressing on my brand new shirt and can’t wait to get home to pre-treat it so it doesn’t stay stained for my entire life!! GRRRRR!! (Why didn’t I bring a “real” fork to eat my salad at work?!?!? – Oh, that’s right… blonde!!)

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
