My Ds lost his job. His employer as so many have had to in this economy, had to downsize. Ds being the last hired almost a year ago found his job elimated. Hoping he will be able to find another job soon.


On the up side they have finished my hardwood floors and they look great. The next crew will start tomorrow. Reparing the damage to the walls and getting ready to paint the walls. I am so ready to have this all done. My house has been in such a mess for two months now. So in about two more weeks hopefully this work will be finished.


Cannot complain about the weather here. I sure hope those of you that live where the winter weather has been so snowy and cold and staying warm.


My allergies are driving me nuts. With all the dust in the house from the construction and things blooming outside this season has been a bit rougher than normal.


So what everyone been up to?

Hi Gabby

Hope your DS gets something soon...sounds like he has something promising.


I know so many people who have been laid off, it's not even funny. Franks sister, co-workers of his, others. It's unfortunate. I feel lucky to be employed, even tho this place makes me nuts sometimes. I could use a week off.


Well, I CAN complain about the weather....it is currently snowing and I'm so over it! I'm tired of being cold!!!! Can I come stay at your house, Mare? I'd polish your new floors or whatever!


We are trying to plan a trip to FL in March to visit Frank's girls and watch Spring Training, but not sure if I'm going to be able to swing it. F may have to go alone. I have applied and tested to work for the 2010 census and training is in March. Plus my office mate has surgery planned for March now....grrrrr.....so I am very restricted on time in March.


Oh well, ce la vie....
