Bill got his first full paycheck from his new job today.  While we are not challenging Bill Gates for a spot on the America's Wealthiest list, we are now making more than we ever have, and that is a good feeling.  We are paying bills and whittling down debts, and all without my having to work.  That is a wonderful place to be, and I remember times ( Read more... )

First off, Happy Easter to all.  My Easter was quite nice.  Bill, C and I went to Charlotte on Friday and had a very nice holiday.  We went to breakfast at my in-laws' church, followed by Easter service at 9 a.m.  The service was very nice, but I had to chuckle at a few things.  First was the organ prelude to the service.  Now the organist was  ( Read more... )

Today is the first day of C's Spring Break.  I don't have to get up and make her breakfast and prod her to the bus stop.  WHY am I up at this hour?  I've been up since 4 a.m.!  That's just ten shades of wrong and totally unfair.  AND I didn't get to sleep last night until 1 a.m.   Argh.

Very nice night last night.  My friend L and I went to Barnes ( Read more... )

'Ello, ello, LJ!  I've been without internet since Tuesday, March 11, so that's why you've not seen me around.  I've tried to comment on as many of my friends' entries as I could today, but I'm sure I didn't read or comment on everything.  Sorry 'bout that.

I lost my internet connection on Tuesday.  After FIVE unanswered calls to the manager's ( Read more... )

Last night Bill got a call saying that his job interview would be changed from today to Friday.  Ok, that's cool.  THEN he gets a call tonight saying that after his job interview on Friday, he will be sent to Richmond for training Mon.-- Wed.  Ok, I'm thinking if he wasn't going to get hired, they wouldn't be sending him to training, eh?  So, I'm ( Read more... )
