Trials of LIfe

Just when you think everything is going ok, you get news that you are going to lose your job.  Well, that's me.  My boss and I will be closing the office by the end of the year and so I will be looking for a full time job.  Not much fun at my age.  Whoever thought the legal business would get so bad?  I never gave it a thought, but it happened.
Now how do I break the news to my kids and family.  The way I do things, I will not tell them until its absolutely necessary.  I know I can find work, but who wants to flip burgers after having a nice office job?  I shouldn't be so down on those types of jobs, but I think those jobs are more for high school kids and teenagers to get some experience.  My boss has offered to talk to some in the legal field about a job for me and I pray and hope that something good comes out of it.
But, in the meantime, if anyone needs some typing done, please give me a holler!  I also do bookkeeping as I handle the checkbooks for the Oak Ridge Festival for my cousin.  But that is not a full time job and only requires very few hours to complete. 
So, I will keep my chin up and be positive that something will come along and be better for me!

Everyone have a great day.

Reteaching My Brain to Blog

Good Evening, I am working my brain and trying all the settings in blogger.  Lots to Learn such as finding my blogger voice--I hope I don't sound  read loud, soft,  or weak. I'm looking for funny, joyful, cheerful, and informative (and much more).  I need to find a direction for my blog also.  I don't have much to teach at the moment because I have much to learn.  I enjoy reading the blogs explaining how to blog and the information about this big world of blogging.   Boy, I have used the word "blog" a lot.  There are a lot of ladies who rock when it comes to their blogs with so many amazing photos, tips, projects, and knowledge.  I really enjoyed reading Donna's from Funky Junk Interiors.  I'll get there....

I did start a Christmas project, and skipped right over Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I love fall decorating but didn't get around to much of that at my home.  I need to move furniture around and do some lots of painting.  I would like to turn into a man for about a month to handle some of the physical work that needs done around here.  I better lift weights this winter to build some muscles.  Anyone else have this problem?   Like the above cupboard above, it's really heavy.  This was in a garage and I wanted it so bad and one day my BF (boyfriend) said he had a surprise and said to look in the bed of his truck.  I jumped around like a little girl and giggled.

Well, I need to get back to messing around with all the settings and learn some more!
Have a wonderful Thursday.
