Hi dear ones,

I'll be heading out to spend the night with my nieces and sister tonight. I leave at 3:15 and have to pick up Panera bagels and bread bowls (per my sis' suggestion.)

I have a lady delivering a home made candle basket soon (she makes soy candles) ... with a country design, for my niece's house.

The kitties are keeping me running and I'm tired.

If I get this job, our other DS will answer the phone in the home office and learn the ropes of what we do. He only has a part time bartending job now, besides playing in his band and helping out in a small construction company from time to time. I'd like both sons to work this job if they want. Checking in to insurance plans for them (cheap for 20-something guys.) They'll have to pay for part of it out of their paycheck but at least they'll have minimal coverage.

The job I'm applying for is retail and sales and I'd be on my feet a lot. I know they have barstools behind the counter though so sometimes I'd be able to sit.

It's a very good paying job with very good benefits and it's something I know and like, cell phones and service.

It's either this or the accounting job with our town but they haven't called for an interview yet, so who knows? I'd prefer that but this other one might be better. It has a potential of very high earnings with commissions too.

Kelly,

Good luck with your sale.

Vonn,

I'm very glad your liver is ok.

Barb,

I hope you'll be ok after that pred shot.

Sox and Sarah,

Have a good weekend with the kiddos.


Jackie and Trish,

Debbie,

Darn those complications anyway. We want you well, and soon! But your DS really is a sweetie for helping out with the in-laws.

Sandy,

I'm keeping you and Jim and your mom in my prayers.

TKTC, Weave, Fin, everybody else.... Have a good weekend!

Hi all. Just checking in real quick. Got hit with some kind of nasty bug and haven't had much strength. Still a little blah. But been nursing fluids and resting as much as I can.

Take care all!

believe it or not ...

I went to check out a 2 bd apartment.... it's an upper ... with a patio ... AND A GARAGE ...

okay okay - don't get too excited ... have to make sure the HUD will transfer for this to work ...

I have plenty of help to move the little bit I have ... most of it I can move with my car ... and the rest with one trip with a friend's covered pick-up truck ..

been taking down pix and spackling the holes ... so far, it all looks like new!!

have a very tasty chili in the crock-pot .. will leave on low all night for the cook-off tomorrow ... I just had a bowl ... and it's awesome!!

have a great weekend ....

Jenn -- Feel better!

I didn't want to wake up this early but here I am anyway! I'll be ready to climb back in bed just about the time I need to get up to get ready for my garage sale! So far it hasn't rained or snowed here. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Jenn, I hope you feel better today. Those bugs are the worst.

Wiz, one of those bagels sounds really good about now!

Vonn, good luck with the apartment hunting. I'm still looking, too. It's just so expensive to move. I have to weigh the long term benefits.

Everyone have a nice Saturday! I'll be busy today bit will check in later!

Good morning, all. had another nice night's sleep.

Kelly, hope it all goes well today...let us know how much you rake in!
Wiz, hope the fam is okay...thinking and praying...
Jenn, gee, I hope you feel better soon...
Vonn, sure hope you find a place suited to what you need...a big room for those quilts!!

DH and I are going to shop this morning. He does have a sinus infection, so he's on z max and mucinex...seems to be helping already.
We had a blue heron in the backyard this morning....we are thinking of stringing fishing line over the top of the pond so the darn birds can't get to our swimming babies...

Well, I hope all of you have a wonderful Saturday!

Checking in real quick as I have so much I want to get done today. (Laundry, cleaning, painting, and a couple of other projects).

Barb - The countdown is going is on . . .I can hear the stress in DD18's voice though as she is preparing for finals, doing term papers, etc. DD19 is the same way. Yikes!

Kelly - Good luck today with your garage sale. I hope all goes well.

Wiz - Keeping all of you in my prayers. Check in with us when you can.

Debbie - I hope things start getting better for you.

Fin - Hope you feel better soon. There are some nasty things going around right now.

Sandy - Thanks for listening. I really appreciate it.

Vonn - Hope the apt works out for you. I hate, hate moving. It is such a chore.

Jackie - I hope that you are in less pain today.

Everyone - Thinking of you as well.

Have a great day everyone!

Wiz,

Kelly, crossing fingers the weather cooperates for your sale

Vonn, hope HUD pulls through. Sounds like a nice place.

Debbie, hope DH feels better soon.

Jackie, sorry to hear about the pain.

Everyone,

~~~~

Have gone from feeling like a blob to subhuman - so slowly getting better. Stomach and stuff have calmed down, and fever broke yesterday. So thankful I'm on ye olde mend. We have jokingly blamed going to the doc's office for this nightmare. but given the season, could have gotten it anywhere.

Take care everyone!

Trish -- Hope you and your daughters survive the end of the semester. I will be doing more grading this weekend.

Kelly -- Good luck with the sale!

Jenn -- sounds like you are starting to improve. I went to the doctors on Wednesday, and got a sore throat yesterday. Now I am coughing , etc. Hope I can avoid a sinus infection. It seems like everyone around here has either that or bronchitis or both.

I am going to a Christmas show tonight with a friend, I think. I would rather skip it, but I paid $53.00 for my ticket so I am going. I have been thinking about calling my friend and seeing if she can find someone else to go with (give them my ticket), but I know she will be ticked off. I guess I will ponder this for another hour or so before I make a decision.

Morning everyone! I finished all the blankets last night!!!! Now I can start wrapping and get that done before we take off. Whew

Wiz, have a nice visit with your niece and sister.

Kitty, good luck with the garage sale!

Trish, anytime.

Debbie, birds can't get to my fish. It is frozen solid except where the heater is.

Jenn, glad your feeling better! I wont complain about my nasty cold. The tummy bug is sent from evil.

Vonn, hope the apartment works out!

Supermoo, hope your feeling better.

Barb, I heard on the news about the security breach at school. Hope the find out what or who breached the system.
