I can't believe it's been a month since I posted! Sorry to leave you out of the loop...
We are ready to take Christmas portraits for cards and to give as gifts, so if you want to schedule a session, let me know.
We also have a parenting class scheduled to start on the 16th, and would love to have a few more parents enrolled.
It's been a very busy month! I just looked back at the calendar...National Night Out block party, networking every week, a marriage workshop to see what we could learn to pass along to the students in our parenting classes, making new friends and having dinners with them, several webinars, a retirement lunch, and a retirement party, a booth at the Fall Festival, a BBQ with church friends, Zumba, a financial seminar, Trunk or Treat on Halloween, lunch with friends, and a BBQ with some cousins I haven't seen in decades.... No wonder I didn't make time to blog! I really should do this more often tho. I could give some details and maybe even share some of the neat things I've learned. Guess I should put blogging on my calendar! Might get done then.
I'm supposed to do something this coming Friday night, but I can't remember what it is, and I didn't put it on my calendar when I was emailing with the person about it, so now I don't know. If you know, please tell me. I hate to miss things! Especially when someone is expecting me. Senior moments are all too frequent these days. I thought I put it on the calendar right then, but must have gotten distracted. Sometimes multi-tasking is not the best option.
Well, the time change has made me sleepy earlier than usual, and I never got in there for the nap I had planned earlier, so guess I'll head that way soon.
Blessings,
Lori

Retirement party....x2
It's been a busy week! Went to the UT retiree party on Tuesday at lunch. Felt kinda strange to be there. I think I was one of the youngest, maybe THE youngest retiree there. Sat with some really nice people.
Yesterday, I went to a retirement party for 4 of my friends from my old job. Felt kinda strange to be there too! Nice to see the ones who were left tho, and a few who don't work there anymore who also went. There were too many friends missing tho.
I'm still loving my "new" job. It's not really new since I've been there since mid-June. I'm still learning and doing new things. Always interesting.
Well, must do last minute getting ready for the Fall Fest booth tomorrow. Packing up framed photos to take, and a bunch of other stuff.

Busy, busy, busy!!!
I can't believe it's been so long since I posted anything.
Working 30 hours a week and working on our two businesses, photography and parenting classes, keeps me very busy!
Things are falling into place. We had a good meeting yesterday with someone who could possibly help get more people in our parenting classes. That's a great thing for us and for the parents! I hope to get the e-newsletter out this evening, since I don't have any meetings or webinars tonight. If you want to get the newsletter, let me know and I'll add you to the list. It has parenting tips and I only send it out once or twice a month. I could do it every week if I could get a system going and take time to do it. There is lots of good info to pass along.
It's been so long since I posted, I'm sure a lot has happened, but I can't remember what.
I met a lot of people at the Bebe Palooza event last weekend. I would never have imagined some of the neat things the vendors had to sell for babies and families. I decided it would be a good idea to collect all of their brochures and business cards and put them into a resource notebook for parents who take our classes to look through to see if there is something they might want or need.
We keep a resource list of vendors for our Wedding Photography clients, so I figured it would be a good idea for the parents too.
Well, guess I'd better get back to work!

REALLY been a long time....
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!

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
