…But, it is definitely “Happy Dance” time. Hubby was told today that he would be getting a $2800 bonus in his check next week.  I’m sure that taxes will eat up a good portion.  However, this ... (more)

It’s very cold and now it’s sleeting.  Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.  My interview is scheduled for 10:30.  Most likely the entire state will shut down since we do not handle snow, ice, hurricanes, football losses very well.  ... (more)
