Thanks, Elizabeth. I agree that money isn't everything. If it were, I wouldn't be a teacher!
She realizes it too. She is making good money now and not liking her job much these days. The non-profit agency that offered her $15,000 more than she makes now is not her first choice because she fears she will soon tire of writing the spin required. It is also located outside of Boston in Lexington. Her dream is to live and work in downtown Boston. The second company, her favorite (and mine as you will soon see
), is located in downtown Boston with a younger staff and a chance to be very creative in her writing. I think that if they come back with anything additional she will be writing about these little baubles from Hearts On Fire:
Wow - will she get an employee discount?!
I could see how much easier the creative process could be!
Hopefully I'll go back to sleep in a bit, I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I had my BG levels looking really good, I had more sugar yesterday than I should and my levels show it this morning. Here's another "can't sleep" page,
I have to get back to my PP project that I started before the scrapbbok craze, although I am adding some of the elements into the slide show.
Debbie - all the pages you've posted are great - keep it up!
Sorry that your levels aren't where they need to be, but I'm sure you'll get them back in check soon.
She is hoping sometime this month.
I forgot to say, Heidi, that I hope this can be taken care of as quickly, and painlessly, as possible for Dawn.
I have heard of those before - such an interesting phenomenon!
It went well...it was loud...it was long...but they had a good time.
Physic Eve was a little freaky with some of her fortunes. She used tarot cards...and one point I was getting a little scared.
I'm glad they had a good time, and that the weather cooperated as best as possible. I don't know if I'd want to meet Psychic Eve - I think I'm better off just not knowing!
Robyn - We went to Cafe Brazil. It's a local chain. I had the French Toast with fruit. HUGE portion of melon, strawberries, bananas over French toast with raspberry cream sauce. It's my favorite. They also have an awesome self-serve coffee bar.
We should go there when you guys come to Dallas.
Yummy!!!
I was thinking it might have been to a place that my cousin took us to. Some diner- I can't remember the name, just that it was in Oak Lawn. The food was great. I'll have to ask Joe. That coffee bar sounds pretty neat. Definitely sounds like a place we'd want to visit.
He is coming up the end of this month. I am excited to see him again. Normally it's only once a year at Thanksgiving. We are throwing a party for my aunt, and 2 of my cousins, one of which is Joe's sister. They are turning 60, 50 and 40 all within the month of March. And it's also a going away party for my aunt, she is moving to Des Moines.
He was looking at our photopass pics and said he really would like to go to WDW. He wants to stay in Cinderella's castle. Maybe I can scam out of him for his favorite God daugther?
Like Elizabeth, I bet he took you to Lucky's - another good spot! I am very hungry reading about all this breakfast food!
Good luck convincing him of WDW! Do you have any videos from your trip he can watch?
We've always wanted to adopt, and if things don't work out for us to conceive naturally, we'll go ahead with it.
If we lived farther away from Lydia and her family, I would do it in a heartbeat! However, there's just too much potential for heartbreak this way. My cousin and her husband adopted his sister's baby, and that was 10 years ago. The sister and mother have not spoken to, or visited Brent and Mindy since then. I just couldn't handle that.
I know that Lydia and Brandon will find the perfect couple. They are putting a lot of thought and prayer into their decision. They may have started this out in a bad way, but they are doing everything they can to make it right.
Lots of prayers and
for Lydia and Brandon. One of my best friends growing up had a sister that was pregnant at 17, and put the baby up for an open adoption. It was a very hard, but wise decision, and it was amazing the example the family set while going through this - I know it had a huge impact on our group of friends - we were only 14 at the time. She's happily married, and has 3 children of her own now. The son she gave up is well loved, and is now 16!
Channon I forgot to say....much, much better!!
Me, too!
Lindsay - Got your check today! Thanks!
I'm off for my date with Landon!
Did you say "hi" to Mark for me?!
I had a hair appt. today, too, but obviously at a different salon now! Got to love it, too, as my hair was highlighted and I was out of there in an hour-and-a-half. If Mark had been doing it, I would probably still be there!
I am very proud of myself!
I set up our network printer in the kitchen and I "connected" my laptop to it.
Then I used it to print our e-tickets for the September trip!
The best part of this transaction is that my flight was booked with miles!! Bob's RT ticket was $263 and I had to pay a $5 fee so for a grand total of $268 we have 2 RT non-stop tickets out of Richmond on Delta!
And Chanon is working on tweaking our AKL reservations. Should be fine by sometime Monday!!
Good for you!!!
So, what are you doing to your AKL reservation?
Good luck!
I'm going to start my August Color Coded Matrix of Fun now that I'm done with photopass.
Do you have a matrix for May? We need to see about a time to meet up! I'll be there through the 5th!
Unless someone specifies something special like your deviled eggs, I bring what I want.
That's been my experience, too!
Of course, the one she wants more is the one offering less money. She countered and they will get back to her on Monday. But, it is definite that she will be headed to Boston now.
When I travel my whole closet is right there at my fingertips! Shoes, too! Truly a joy to behold!
NEVER! Maybe I could show you the freedom packing light brings!
