If you are one of the many people that have left comments in the past few days – I owe you an e-mail, and it’s coming soon. Promise! I spent most of the day working on Blogomania items and then spent the evening at my parent’s house – dinner and good chat time. It was great!
Now I have my first “real” interview since I was laid off on December 2nd tomorrow. I can’t believe it took me a month, but with the holidays it’s not surprising. I am also temping tomorrow & Friday, so I won’t be around during the day. If I leave a comment at your site during the day it means I am cell phone surfing again – I’m returning to the job location where I was last week, and there isn’t a lot to do there.
Boy, am I nervous about this interview! Eek!
Normally I leave the Christmas tree up all the way to Epiphany, but I don’t think it’s going to happen this year. The cats have discovered the ornaments. So far there haven’t been any broken ones, but I don’t feel like taking chances! Maybe I should just leave the tree up without any ornaments on it – just the pretty sparkling lights…
Home from Elaine & Kenny’s safe & sound and just wanted to wish everyone a happy 2003! Now I’m off to bed!
Wow, I can’t believe it. This will probably be my last post of 2002. A year that started on one note is ending completely different then I would have ever planned, and I can’t complain at all. It’s been officially 1 year today since the last time I had any contact whatsoever with the Insignificant Other. It’s been 5 years since I first started to learn to hand code HTML. It’s been … a lifetime in a year it seems. I said a year ago that I didn’t want to date, I didn’t want to meet someone in Houston because I wanted to move – and instead I met Mike when I least expected it and I’m truly thankful for him. I’m glad I’ve gotten to know so many of the other bloggers here in Houston. I’m thankful for my son, my parents, and all of my friends. I’m truly blessed. Thank you!
Reading through my old blog posts last night from a year ago, I noticed something. I had a sense of humor, a way of writing, that I feel like I’ve lost in the past month or two. No real reason why – probably a lot of stress all rolled together – but that’s part of what I was talking about yesterday when I said I need a change. I want to get back in touch with the old me.
Now I’m off to get ready to ring in the New Year at Elaine & Kenny’s with Mike and a lot of our other friends. Tomorrow it will be a new day and a new year, and I wish all of you the best in 2003!
