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

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!!!!!!

BuSY tiMeS!

~This week is kind of busy~ I'm not sure if I'm coming or going. :-) ~ First of all just trying to get done what needs to at work. Plus also doing the job of someone who is on vacation....... Friday is my last day at my current job. But I'm getting there. Then also trying to get done all of the pre-employment stuff you have to do before starting a NEW job. YEAH!!!!
~Jessica will be home Friday night!!! This Saturday is Michele's 20th birthday. We have a "girls" day planned. Shopping, dinner and a MASSAGE!!! Michele of course will be joining us for this...hehe. But she will be staying in Hays as there is a party planned for her. They sure do grow up fast!! My BABY is going to be 20! I just can't believe that!
~Roger was down to see Glada on Saturday. She is having troubles with her pickup so he traded with her. Hopefully they can get the problem figured out. She is starting to feel better as she is not doing chemo anymore. They said it will take a week or so to get the drugs out of her system. After that she will feel much better again and will be able to enjoy being at home and not uprooted. So that will be good.
~HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Jessica....

Jessica is feeling MUCH better today! She only worked half a day yesterday, but did work the whole day today. Tonight she is very tired, but feels good. THANK GOODNESS!! Hopefully nobody else gets this yucky stuff!

Glada.....

~Audrey brought Bucky to our house this afternoon. Glada was not feeling up to the trip. If she feels up to it later, then they will be heading to Hays. Otherwise they will be going in the morning. Glada has her lab draw at 9 am and then they see Dr.Iqbal. They will then find out if she will be getting chemo on Tuesday or not.

Jessica.....

~Jessica is feeling much better today. Just a little weak still. She will be trying to go to work in the morning for half a day. Then hopefully she will make it back to all day on Tuesday. Only bad news is her roommate, Allison, thinks she is getting sick. Darn!
