I'm definitely ready for winter to be over!!! It got down to 18 here the other night!!! What a freak of nature! A lot of my tropical plants got hit. Don't know how many will survive. The tangelo tree seems to be OK though. That's the big thing. My pool filter has to go into "freeze protection" mode. Geez!


I hardly know where to start. Things are so overwhelming, but I am making progress. I've had 3 meetings with an excellent career counselor for a total of 12 1/2 hours. Thank goodness Mom is covering it, because she is not cheap. I am really fortunate to have such a supportive family. The counselor and I are "re-packaging" me to do work more for a non-profit, event planning, or something politically related. Unfortunately, most of my background is in interior design. I have the last 8 years of volunteer work to play on for the new direction. Please keep me in your prayers!


My sister, the former CEO of Tim's co., our attorney, and I met with a guy from a S FL hedge fund and his attorney last week. They'd made a large investment in Tim's co. and have been trying to intimidate me subtlely about possible liabilities, etc., to try to get my stock and the rights to some software that was developed on co. time. Our attorney was awesome in a very low key way, and we're hoping they will make a fair offer to buy my stock and rights, if for no other reason than to make me go away quickly and avoid enormous attorney fees. It would be great to get everyone out of my hair regarding the co. and to have a little financial safety net until I can get a job. He is going to make them an offer and see how it goes. Please add that to the prayers too. :-)


I have been going dancing, but Adam has gotten into West Coast Swing and wants to quit Shag temporarily, so he doesn't get mixed up. Sometimes he doesn't dance, but he's broken down and danced several times lately. I was going to take lessons too, but didn't feel I could afford it. We did take some free, group cha cha lessons last month and will start Nightclub Two-Step (which is very pretty) tonight for the month of March. http://www.expertvillage.com/player.swf?flv=twostep-dancing-demonstration

I'm sure not going to tell you what I get paid because you'll all begin crying in sympathy for me.

I must confess, I don't wear red nearly as much as I used to, and almost never on a Friday.
