Hi ladies,

Julie-Great to hear that Sara's first birthday celebration went very well. You are such a good Mom to continue to make this very special dinner for her on Tuesday. I know you are much stronger than the food is image.

Sandrine-Nice to hear that the scale is being very nice to you. You must feel like a million dollars fitting into those jeans that you haven't worn in three year's. I don't know how you do all that socializing with so many friends and still get to work on time. And get up again the next day early.

Steffi-You do not give yourself enough credit. The economy is very scary right now. You were probably the last Pilot that was hired and one with the least seniority. Employer's are downsizing their employees in order to stay in business. I don't know how much more this world can take, to be honest with you. But believe your boss when he said it isn't you. And that he will call you back when he can.

As for me: I worked all evening on Friday and all day on Saturday for work. I am on vacation this week. I know that it sounds like I have a lot of vacation. But for year's no one would let me take time off. So now I have all this vacation time, that I have to use or I will lose it at the end of this year. And I will not lose my earned vacation time. So I just got back from taking the work back up to work so they have it for Monday. My plan this week is to clean out the kitchen cupboards, fridge, clean and iron the curtains in the house, throughly clean each room. And I have one end table and three little piles, mostly to be shredded from that spare bedroom that I dreaded to clean in Aug or Sept and finally stopped talking about it and cleaned it up. I have kept my promise and I am keeping that room very clean. The rest of the house is going to get a complete clean down this week. And I plan to scrub the carpets in the house too.

I also plan to make several home cooked meals. And take several over to my Dad. I also for several weeks have been purchasing what is on sale like toilet paper, paper towels, comet, dish detergent etc. etc. etc. and buying one extra and putting it in a bag for my Dad. I plan to take all that up this week for him to have.

Well I hope that you all are having a wonderful Sunday.

Karrie
