Well, it has been a whirlwind week and a half, but the office is shaping up nicely. I'm learning neat new things. A new adventure every day.
Haven't made it out to walk in the park yet. Maybe next week. I love my new job!
Better get to bed now tho. Much to do tomorrow, I mean today....

Been a while!
I've been busy! My new part time job hasn't been part time!
I worked 8.5 hours last week on Wednesday, 8 on Thursday, 10 on Friday, 10 this week on Monday, 8 yesterday, and 6.5 today. Only reason today was short was because I took a two hour lunch to go to my networking luncheon. I have much to do tomorrow, so don't know how long I'll be there. This first couple of weeks is pretty crazy settling into the new office. It is really shaping up! A little more decorating before our open house in a couple of weeks. Lots of little things to take care of.
I love my new boss. He's really nice and has a sense of humor! Never a dull moment. I don't even realize when I'm there for 10 hours. There are so many new things to learn and do.
I met his wife on Friday. She's really nice too, and a hugger! We connected right away.
I'll get to meet the rest of his family - his dad, siblings, and his 4 children - when we have the open house.
My sister thinks I need to rename my blog to "going back behind the desk"..... but I'm not always at the desk at this job! I get to run errands and shop too! And there are lots of trips around the corner to the "copy room" - it's really just on the other side of the wall from my desk, so not far.
Well, better get to bed so I can get up early. Busy day tomorrow!

Lori

One More Day!
Sorry I haven't posted for a few days.
One more day before I go back to work. Much to do before I don't have my days free to work on businesses. I was originally going to start working on Tuesday, but no phone or net until Wednesday, so not much to do. Furniture is being delivered on Friday. Shopping for supplies, etc. on Thursday, I think. It's going to be a busy week!
Had two Monday meetings. Have the 4th session parenting class Tuesday (that would be tonight now...)so I have to prepare for that, and have my regular Tuesday morning meeting.
Guess I should hit the pillow, or as my sister says, "time for my head and my pillow to spend some quality time together..." so, hopefully I'll have time to blog before I go to work and then to let you know how it's going in the next few days.
Blessings,

busy few days!
I tried to post one night, but the site was down for some reason. Probably because it was the middle of the night and they were updating or something.
I was home all day Saturday tackling my "to do" list.
Had a meeting after church on Sunday and then did some grocery shopping. We have to eat!
Monday morning meeting, and afternoon meeting, then stopped by the old office to visit a bit, before going to a Young Living meeting in the evening. I ate way too much that day!
Tuesday morning, a YLC meeting then home to prep for parenting class last night. It is going well. Seems like the students are really getting a lot out of it. We have another one scheduled to begin the 17th if you know of anyone interested.
Today was the YLC monthly luncheon. Met a few new people. Connected for some possible wedding networking. More of that next Monday, before I start work.
Tonight was one of the photography webinars that is a year long series we are studying. Some weeks there is only one, but there are weeks coming up that there are 3 or 4 nights which is going to make for a really busy week when we have a parenting class on the one free night. The webinars are recorded, so I suppose I could skip a night or two and double up on the weekends. I don't want to get behind tho, because there is homework too. I already missed the second one, which was last week, so I'll be catching up with it as soon as they post it. Probably Sunday afternoon.
I really want to be cloned!
For now, better get to bed. Big day of shooting photos tomorrow!

Seems like ages!
Sorry I haven't posted since last week.
We left Friday morning for Dallas for my great nephew's graduation. Got a call on the way that E's brother-in-law had died, so as soon as we got back from Dallas on Monday afternoon, we repacked and headed for the Valley for the funeral. It was a couple of whirlwind trips!
We got back late last night to a dark house with no power. Fun driving back in the storm! Glad E was driving when we hit the rainy stretch! It let up a bit by the time we got home so we didn't get too wet unloading the car.
The Dallas trip was fun. The graduation was nice. Only 40 kids - a private, Christian school. My nephew had 4 cars in a car show on Saturday and won everything he could win in the classes he was in - including Best of Show, plus several door prizes, and the pot for the show. It was a fundraiser so half of the pot went to the ticket holder, the other half to charity. They were all very happy the show went so well.
The Valley trip was not so fun.... We did get to see a lot of E's family that we hadn't seen in 3 years since his mom's funeral, and I got to meet some I hadn't met before. We got to see our grandson. He's grown a lot! We didn't go to the beach, so no toes in the sand for me. :(
And I'm still pale, but at least no sunburn and peeling!
We didn't even drive through our old neighborhoods to see our old "homes".... maybe next time. Decided it would probably be depressing anyway.
I have a job interview tomorrow. It sounds like the perfect job for me. I'll post more later. Don't want to jinx it!
Right now I have to go get ready for a women's entrepreneur networking event this afternoon/evening.
Blessings,
Lori
Hope this was spiced up enough for you! :)
