FWD

I'd like to meet the person that created the FWD. To thank them? NO! To smack them upside the head? Yep!
The emails that get forwarded are annoying (I'm not talking about you get information that I need and pass it on to me - I'm talking about the jokes that have been going around and around, or the urban myths, etc...). And 99% of the ones that I receive get deleted.
The only thing worse than forwarded emails. The FWD texts. Why? Because they are costing me money! I have a set amount of texts each month. If I go over that amount, I get charged.
Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel.

Another Saturday Night..

A and I went out last night. We went to McCrackens to see FreeFallin' with JackLaugh. FreeFallin is always a good show. (last night was the 32nd time seeing them.)
The second time I had seen JackLaugh. Looking forward to seeing them again.

Dale - since you told me you'd been checking out my blog...I'll make sure to get a bottle of A1 so you don't have a repeat of last night.

Perspective

To my friends and loyal readers. Sorry that it's been so long since my last post. The day after that post I was laid off (after 19 1/2 years with the company). My world was disrupted (to say the least). Since then I have been looking for a new job, trying to concentrate on my classes towards my degree (this quarter statistics and finance), and taking a tax preperation course.
I've also been putting things in perspective. At my age, and with the economy the way it is, looking for a new career opportunity is a challenge. A challenge, but not the end of the world. This is an opportunity to re-evaluate what I want to do and where I want to be.
Putting this in perspective, I looking at...
*Two friends have been diagnosed with cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families. I admire the way they are handling what life has thrown at them.
*My son is scheduled to go "down range" next year. I'm proud of him, but am a mom.
*My nephew messed up his knee playing high school football. Thankfully, it's not too serious - physical therapy should have him back to new.
*My SIL is expecting in December. Now if my niece would cooperate and move from the breach position.
*Concerned about my mom's health, but she doesn't want to hear it. Or do anything about it.

On the bright side, I've had time to actually do some non-school reading, to spend more time with friends, and to find out who my true friends are. I've picked up a crochet hook for the first time in almost a decade and a cross stitch needle for the first time in too long.
As Gloria Gaynor sang "I Will Survive"....maybe I need to break that out at karaoke (something else I've done for the first time in too long).
