no bluebonnets today :(

We had originally planned to go out to the Willow City Loop today to photograph bluebonnets, but got a late start to our day from being up so late last night.
Then started a list of all the things we need to get done in the next couple of days, so we started chipping away at it.

We finally started on taxes. I've had the papers piled up for weeks. Hope to finish them before the weekend is over, since E has to go for Jury selection on Monday and wants to have them done in case he gets tied up in one for a few days.

I had a very productive day working on parenting class files and handouts. I've got them all neatly organized better than they were before. I know just what I need to make copies of before the next class scheduled to start on April 27th.

I have a very full "to do" list all prioritized too. Much easier to get it done when it's all on paper instead of just jumbled up in my head.

I also found another job in Round Rock to apply for on Monday in between my job clubs.

Now, it's time to go to bed so I can get up for church. Should be interesting. First Sunday after our priest of 4 years left.

Where did the day go?

Here it is tomorrow again....

My computer crashed last night right in the middle of some things I was working on. Really slowed me down. E fixed it, but not in time for me to do anything more last night. It was still "fixing" when I went to bed - late, or was it early....around 1:00, I think.

Got my errands done today. Met with one of the daycares about having parenting classes there. Will find out how they want to handle it in the next few days.

Applied for another job, just in case. Don't think I'll get it, but who knows.... and do I really want to?

Tomorrow will be another busy one. One lunch meeting, then home to finish prepping for class tomorrow night.

Off to bed now!

Yesterday got away from me....flat tire...

I meant to post last night... but at 1:05 when I hit the pillow, I didn't have the energy to get up again and do it.

Yesterday started out with a flat tire on E's car, so I had to drop him at church in Round Rock before heading to Cedar Park for job club at 9:00 (got there with 5 minutes to spare), then focus group. Lunch with friends from my old job for my belated birthday, another job club group at 1:30, then my granddaughter's kickball game at 5:15.
Lots of catching up to do on the computer when I got home, so I never got to the blog.

Today was pretty crazy too. Breakfast networking at 8:30, then straight to job club, then to meeting at 1:30. Got home about 2:45 and went to the PISD to drop off a couple of things for their silent auction.

By then, it was 5:00 so we went to Sonic for half price burgers (every Tuesday) and my free birthday cream slush. Yum! Got lime, so it was kinda like key lime pie. Been working on the computer pretty much since then.

I found a job in Round Rock I'm going to apply for. Might be just right and still leave me time to teach classes and schedule photo sessions. Can't hurt to apply anyway, and I might make another good contact or two for our businesses, even if I don't get the job.
I figure God put it in front of me for a reason. Better listen to Him!

Couple more things to do before bed. At least I don't have any early meetings tomorrow. Just three things on my list of errands and meetings.

Hope all is well with you!

HE is Risen!

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful day! Got to church early. Service was nice even tho it's Reverend Mary's last Sunday with us. It was overcast most of the day, and drizzly off and on. The sun broke through in the middle of the service and lit up the huge stained glass window behind the altar. So appropriate.

Had brisket for lunch purchased from the BOSA group. Pretty yummy, and there is enough for tomorrow, unless E stays up all night and gets hungry!

Busy day tomorrow and I haven't done my homework for class in the morning yet, so better get to it.

12 Hours later.....

We took off early this morning on a quest for the perfect field of bluebonnets today. Didn't find it, but did find SOME. Spent about 12 hours driving around taking pics. I'm too tired to even load them on the computer to look at them. Tomorrow after church....

Blessings,

Was it only today that I did all this?

E went with me to job club this morning, well Friday morning. I see that once again it's already tomorrow....
After job club, we ran a few errands then came home for a bit. Ran a couple more errands.
I did take a nap for about 40 minutes before I went to stamp group.
We had gone to the frame shop to pick up an order. While we were waiting for them to bring it out, I said I really needed a nap. He said I should talk to my boss about that. I said I did and she told me to take one. :)

Stamp group was really fun tonight. We made some neat projects. I now have a really pretty card to give to Mom for her birthday/Mother's day coming up soon! I'm happy to have that taken care of.

I get to spend several hours with Mom next Friday so my sister can fly up to see my nephew in his final performance as he retires from the Louisville Ballet. He's off to pursue other things, still related tho. That profession really takes a toll on your body.

Well, better hit the pillow so I can get up early. We plan to go on a quest for some beautiful bluebonnets to photograph. I'll let you know when some are posted on our website.

Is there life after UT?

You bet there is!
I'm officially retired since my birthday was March 31. I took early retirement.
Now I work for me!
We had the first of class of the 5 week parenting class tonight.
It was great! The next four classes should be great too!
I'm so enjoying helping families.

Some other things should fall into place soon. Keep me off the street corners, and out from under bridges. I certainly like that!

Well, bed soon so I can get up for job club, and go to stamp group Friday night.
Maybe a nap in betweek.

Blessings,
Lori
