I'm still loving my new job! I'm not tied to my desk. I get to do all kinds of fun stuff, like run around downtown delivering documents. I can walk the Shoal Creek trail at lunch, and there is a park right across the street with nice tables in the shade, and a homeless guy that has lunch there and takes a nap a lot. I left him a banana while he was sleeping one day. Wonder what he thought when he woke up.
I can even walk to Whole Foods and Amy's Ice Cream at lunch. Always take my umbrella since I got drenched one day. It was sunny when I went into Whole Foods and pouring when I came out 10 minutes later. Learned my lesson that day! Always take the umbrella and keep a change of clothes and shoes in the car!
Well, gotta run deliver some documents!
Hope all is well with everyone!
Blessings,
Lori

been a while!
Well, I've been busy! Sending job hunting info to my friends who got caught in the second round layoff, sending out the parenting tips newsletter, hoping to enroll enough students in the parenting class next week. Working. Still loving my job! Visiting with friends and family.
I'm too sleepy now to think of what else to say, so I'll do better in the next few days!

EXTRA POST TODAY!!!
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.

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.

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....
