Happy HaLLoWeeN!

First of all I'd like to tell everyone to have a safe and Happy Halloween!! And that is all about that! hehe Halloween has never been a favorite for me or my girls! They were just never much on candy to begin with, so dressing up on a cold night getting candy never appealed to them. Lucky me! But to everyone else...... be safe!

Roger is working today. And Michele is on her way home to visit. Really she wants me to help her learn how to make bierocks and also beef pockets. Guess we will be doing some cooking. I also REALLY need to clean my house and then get busy on my paper bag albums. I'm on a mission to get them done so I can broaden my horizons. I'm then moving to "make" Charlene's Christmas present. And something that I have not done before. When I get it done.... I will post some pictures. I'm guessing she is going to LOVE it!

Jessica and Gabe are dressing up for Halloween. Jessica is dressing up as a 50's girl and Gabe is going to be a vampire. Can't wait to see some pictures! You two have loads of FUN!

Update on Jessica's job interview.... She went back in again the middle of the week for a informal visit. She is still in the running as of right now. They are to call her either way, but we have hopes that she will be getting that call soon for the last interview before they choose who they want to give the job too. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

As for all the rest of the family..... everyone's health is doing well. Kind of scary out there with H1N1. Jessica is fine now, thank goodness! Everyone just keep washing... washing... and washing!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Whew.........

Has this weekend ever been BUSY! Michele and I are in Topeka visiting Jessica. What fun we have had. We shopped till we dropped! And I'm not kidding either...hehe. Michele wanted "bonding time", well.... she got it! The girls are both asleep right now. Which is where I really should be. But for some silly reason I just can't get to sleep. I'm guessing I've had way too much caffeine today. You would think I'd learn. Seems as you get older it bothers you more and more. Anyways..... what fun we have had! When Michele and I leave to head west, we will be making a detour thru Manhattan. Mom and Dad are needing us to pick up some cabinet for them. Then we will meet them in Hays and they will take it from there. I will drop Michele off at her house and then go on home. We always have a GREAT time visiting, but I will be ready to sleep in my own bed! Then back to work on Monday. And YEAH!!! Tuesday is my day off! I'm loving it!

...................

Was just wanting to check in with everyone. All is well! Just busy! But the days go by faster when you are busy, so that is okay. The new job is going well. My brain is not feeling so overwhelmed. This is my first week of 4 day 10 hour work week. I'm guessing it will take me a while to get used to the schedule, but am really starting to enjoy it. Tuesdays will be my "day off", so today was the day. It sure was nice to have time to get the errands and stuff done. I went to the doctor, did a little shopping, visited with some friends, washed some cloths and even gave Jorge a bath. What a productive day!

Friday when I get off work I'm picking up Michele and we are heading for Topeka. Guess the girls planned some bonding time and Xmas shopping. And they asked me to join them! Yeah!! Can't wait! Jessica is feeling much better! She is laughing now because her boyfriend has been sick and he thinks nobody is as sick as him...hehe. (What a man!) And of course she is not even going close to him. I told her I agreed that she stay away, but to at least be nice. She thought she was going to die too when she had H1N1.......

Glada is doing well. Last Wednesday Bucky "ran away from home". But did come back on Saturday. I'm guessing that now they will probably have to keep him pinned up so he doesn't run.

My family is also staying well. Mom and Dad are keeping Char out of the stores. Good thinking! The flu is EVERYWHERE!!! Really kind of scary.

I almost forgot..... Jessica had a job interview this morning!!! She is so EXCITED!!!! The job is for Assistant Marketing Director/Business Development for Simon Malls. They told her they started with 60 applications and interviewed 8 applicants. She got the call this afternoon that she has made the cut to 4. So now she takes a profile test and they choose 2 from that. The last two will then have another interview they have to go thru. She was also told that she was the only one to have not only a marketing degree but also her business degree. And she is also the only one that has property management experience. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Change is Good!

~I got thru my first week at my new job!! Yea! BUT, my brain hurts! I didn't know that a person could force so much into their head! Hopefully next week will be much better. It's not that I don't like it.... I do. But I still hope that I can start remembering more as the days go by. Especially after my brain gets a short break this weekend. Next week I will work all five days. After that I will start working my 4 day/10 hour days. I CAN'T wait for that!!!!!! Tuesdays will then be my day off.
~Snow.....Can you believe it???? Suppose to snow. This seems so early this year. It does not even feel like summer should be over with. And we really didn't get that hot. Kind of scary! Sure makes you wonder what the winter will be like. Wonder if we will have a nasty winter. Been such a long time since we've had a winter with lot of snow and nasty weather. Even Jorge is cold! Tonight he was snuggling with Michele under the afghan. I still have never heard about a dog wanting to be covered up. Silly dog!!
~Cold outside.....scrapping inside!!! :-)This weekend I'm working on an Baby Boy paper bag album. Then I'm needing to get a little organized!!!! I have four albums that I'm needing to get working on. I have the paper for two of them, but need to decide what I need to still buy for the others. I think Michele and I are planning a road trip in a couple weeks for Topeka. Michele is wanting to go "bond" with her sister and she has invited me to tag along. A little Christmas shopping (now that sounds funny) and also some scrapping shopping.

~Hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I plan on it!!!!

Fun Fun......

~This weekend has been so much fun! Jessica, Michele and Jenna (Jessica's roommate the last 2 yrs) got here Friday night around 11pm. Then yesterday morning we hung around the house for a short time and then went to Hays for the day. Lunch at Thirsty's..... a massage at Heavenly Bodies.....then SHOPPING! We had such a grand time. I still can not believe that my baby is 20!
~I am sad that Jessica will be leaving tomorrow to head back to Topeka. It always seems like her visits are so short. Then she wants to visit and do so much when home, that it is always so busy. And not easy making everyone happy when she can not get everything fitted into her short weekend. But they do grow up and do have their own lives. So now I'm thinking we have reached the point in our lives that parent's are suppose to hit. The point that we need to find more time to go visit her! Guess Roger and I need to sit down and schedule a visit........ :-)

BiRThDaY!

Happy 20th Birthday Mishi!!!!!!
