Oh, my gosh! I just found out a bunch of my friends from my old job are unemployed. They had another layoff today! Nine more people! Plus two that are retiring. Good for them that they can! Please say prayers for all of them that things will work out as well for them as they have for me. I've been very blessed!
I'm going to send a couple of emails and then go to bed.
Blessings,

Life goes on....
My sister got another dog the next day. She is a sweet little dog! Doesn't bark, bite, growl, jump on you, slobber on you, etc. She's small and her fur is very soft. She has a sweet little face and likes to cuddle. Perfect for my sister! I like her and I'm not really a dog person because a lot of them do all those things I listed above.
I went to the YLC networking luncheon today at Sherlock's. It was drizzly when I went in. I took my umbrella, but really should have put on my rain boots! It was pouring pretty hard while I was inside. There was a river running through the parking lot when I came out, and it was still raining. I had to run through about 2-3 inches of water to get to my car, and then it was sitting in the middle of a lake about 6 inches deep. I'm not kidding! The water was up to the bottom of the car! My jeans were soaked almost to my knees, and my shoes were so full of water it splashed out when I stepped into the car. I took them off right away. I had to blot the insides of my shoes out with a bath towel when I got home today! I'm so thankful I had extra shoes in the car. I took off my wet socks and wore sandals the rest of the day, but at least my feet were dry! I got off work in time to get home before more rain and bad traffic. Tomorrow is supposed to be 98 and not raining. I would just love a happy median. This is some crazy weather!
Saturday is some serious housecleaning to get ready for a family and some friends party on Sunday afternoon. We haven't had one of those here in a while. Long overdue.
Well, it's going to be a busy day at the office tomorrow, and Friday I have to get the billing done, so guess I'd better hit the pillow soon.
Oh, and please say a prayer for my new friend, Donna, who has been unemployed for over a year (March), that she find the perfect job for her! Thanks, everyone.

Lori

Busy, busy, busy.....
Haven't blogged since before the wedding we photographed on the 17th. Busy getting ready for it, then busy with it, then busy getting photos ready for the happy couple when they return from the honeymoon cruise. They are back tomorrow, well, actually right about now.
It was an interesting, but mostly quiet week at the office. My boss was gone until Thursday. Thursday and Friday were busy tho, with catching up!
He'll be gone again this coming Friday. Going to the beach for the weekend. I miss wiggling my toes in the sand. May have to get a sandbox for the backyard. :) Doesn't look like we'll actually make it down there this year.
Went to Coupland for BBQ with church friends last night.
Went to stamp group with a bunch of friends today after church today. Fun was had by all!
Got a call from my sister a while ago that my other sister's dog died tonight. I must go see her tomorrow. I'm sure she is very sad. Sammy was her baby!
Tomorrow could be a busy day at work so guess I'd better hit the pillow.!
I'll blog sooner this time since it's not so crazy now that the wedding is past.
Nitey, nite.
Blessings,
Lori

I have windows!
I have nice windows in my new office. There is a squirrel that runs up and down the tree right outside the window that my desk faces. It's nice to have windows again.
Today, I put together a coat rack for the office. Still doing a little decorating. Our open house is this Wednesday after work, so we'd better be about finished! We are waiting for one more piece of artwork for the wall behind my desk. I would actually like to see something at the top of the stairs right outside our door besides a blank, white wall. I mentioned that to the boss today. We'll see where it goes.
Well, I should go find my pillow soon, so I can get up in the morning, before it IS morning.

Meant to post last night.....
Yesterday was an adventure! It got me pretty wet at lunchtime! It was sunny when I headed out to walk four blocks to Whole Foods, but raining pretty hard when I came out of the store. I ran back to my office, but was drenched. I had a dry shirt in the car, but my jeans were soaked. I learned two lessons from that. Take my umbrella even if the sun is shining, and keep extra clothes in the car!
We had to borrow a kid from some church friends to go to Pioneer Farms today. Precision Camera had a special event there today where they had cameras to "loan" to the kids (one per family) and had a scavenger hunt. The kids were supposed to go around and take photos of different things to get a prize. The prize was an Amy's Ice Cream coupon. We had a lot of fun! We got there about 9:10 and stayed two hours. It was starting to get a bit toasty by the time we left.
We stopped at DQ for lunch on the way to take our "rent a kid" home. He got a kick out of the "rent a kid" comment. When I went to the door to pick him up and his mom answered the door, I said, "Is this rent-a-kid?" We all laughed. It was a fun day at the farm. He took a bunch of pictures with the camera, then we bought it (at a discount). It's a nice little digital camera that takes photos and videos. I haven't seen the pics yet. I guess E loaded them on the computer already. I'm curious to see how they turned out.
Now, gotta get back to working on things for the wedding we are photographing next week, since we are meeting with the bride and groom tomorrow.
I think I'll take a little nap first....

shopping!
I got to spend a bunch of my bosses money yesterday on office supplies and equipment. Today I spent some more on a new chair for me and a mat to go under it. I did save him about $300 tho by giving him an idea to save some money on something we need for the office, so he's happy about that.
Next week we have an open house for some clients and people who have inspired him to go out on his own. I'm thankful they did so that I have this great job with a wonderful boss!
My sister is much better. She spent the weekend, Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, with us. She is getting stronger, but still has to go in for day surgery to zap the kidney stone that was a big contributor to her hospital stay. Don't know why they didn't zap it while she was in there.
We went to Angel Springs this afternoon to scout some things for the wedding we are photographing on the 17th. I still have some planning of shots for it. I have a long list but need to match it up to the schedule the wedding coordinator sent to us. We meet with the bride and groom Sunday afternoon.
Amy and Mikey are coming Friday evening for the weekend. We plan to spend part of Saturday at Pioneer Farms, then float in the pool. They'll be heading home after breakfast on Sunday morning. Then it's back to working on wedding strategy.
Busy, busy, busy, but loving what we do!

What a week!
It's been a busy week at work. My boss was out most of the day Wednesday, all but 20 minutes of Thursday and came in about 3:40 today before I left at 4:00 to get my sister from the hospital and bring her home with me so she can regain some strength before going to her home. She lives alone (except for her dog), so I didn't want her going there yet.
Thankfully, my niece heard a very strange voicemail from her and went over to check on her!
She almost died Sunday from kidney failure and dehydration, caused mostly from infection and a huge kidney stone blocking her urinary tract I suppose. They are supposed to zap it next week. She is certainly feeling better than she was a few days ago.
Please keep her (Tina) in your prayers.
And be sure to drink plenty of fluids this summer, and if you are sick more than a couple days, GO TO THE DOCTOR before you end up in the ER and ICU!
As soon as we hear from the pharmacy that her meds are ready and can go get them, I'm going to bed! Hopefully to sleep in a bit in the morning. Depends on my nursing duties. :)
I love my sister, so I don't mind.
Take care all.

Lori
