{2 days...}

Wow! I've worked for 2 days now! After working for 3 years, then taking a year off...it's weird to have that responsibility again. However, it feels kinda "normal" since I'm working with my old boss, Linda! So I immediately had that connection. And only working for 3 hours a day, 3 days a week...my "work week" is almost over! :-D It's like having a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...but the actual days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...I just get to experience all of the feelings that M, W, F bring. M="Bummer...weekend's over", W="Halfway there...", F="WooHoo! It's the weekend!". So far, the job has been good. It's a fast growing company that has been around for 7 years. There are a lot of growth changes right now...company expanding, aquiring other properties, etc. So there is a HUGE move this weekend, with a lot of people moving to another building on the property. That will be great for them...more room! It'll be weird to come in on Monday and see all the changes, but not actually have had to do the work involved with them! :-D It's a great thing for me to get out of the house again...I forget how much I enjoy being around a lot of different people! And I still have 4 days a week to play with my family and friends...it's ALL good! Happy "Wednesday" on Tuesday! :-D

{Michelle is a Working Gal Again!!}

Lucky, lucky Michelle! Jobs just seem to fall into my lap! I'll be working with my old boss from Dream Dinners @ a t-shirt design company in Cypress, right by the house. (And on Walker Street...funny, huh?) Hybrid Tees It's the perfect job for me...3 days a week, 3 hours a day! Enough to get me out of the house and making a little $$$, but not too much to drive me NUTS! Nice supplement to the transcribing I'm doing for a couple of HIGH PROFILE attorneys. I start on Monday...WooHoo! Oh...and I don't have to wear anything but jeans and t-shirts! Hee, hee! PERFECT!

{HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!}

WooHoo! It's your birthday...it's your birthday! Party like a rock star! FINALLY! Welcome to "Club 14" Kendall! :-D We've been waiting and waiting for you to join Megs! We TRIED to get you Nick Jonas for your special day, but...he ran screaming! Ha, ha, ha! :-D We love you Killer Kendall!

Each year we enjoy going to the Civil War Days @ the Huntington Beach Park. It's entertaining and educational...and a beautiful setting! After last year's trip, we were looking up other ones and stumbled across the website for the one in Moorpark, CA. As we were looking @ the pictures, I recognized someone! What? Could it be? A former Marine Corps Bandsman that was leading a Civil War Era band and doing reenactments! How FUN! We found each other on Facebook and on Saturday had a reunion 14 years in the making! It was GREAT! We look forward to heading down to San Diego @ the end of October to go camping with the Hernandez family as well as going on the "Ghost Tour" that our friend is also a part of...he's a ghost that got hanged! Oooooh.....creepy! :-) Should be a LOT of fun! Here are some fun shots from the CWD @ HB!
