What Are You Up To? (Updates)
 
I am wondering what everyone is up to?
I am still at 6' tall no growth there, oh not that up to update!:gotcha

I am waiting on a appeal of my claim resolution with WCB & my request for retraining in another career, my Lawyer is currently reviewing the papers.
We bought new bunk beds from Ikea a couple of weeks ago & it came in 15,000
pieces but I got it done & the kids are pleased with it.

No more 911 calls from my house thank God!

What about you?
What about an update on what you have been doing?:thumbsup

I've been tying up some details for the Jackson Gathering.

Transitioning from HR Dept. to Document Management Services at work - - so very happy about this! I'm over our records management, but now we are adding scanning services for records and that is taking up a lot of my time (meetings, meetings, meetings)! My job is basically the same just report to a different manager (whoohoo!)

I just completed my Speech class with an A+ - - proud of that! Probably going to take a break until fall - - I want to enjoy my summer!!!!

Thanks! The records are our company records - patents, drawings for instruments and implants, shipping records, patient studies, regulatory, etc. - you know office stuff!

Sorry, Congrats on getting an A+++ in your class & for any transfers/promotions!

Is your job in Medical records, Government, or Corporate?

You can tell that you're an adult when we get excited over going for a nap!:thumbsup

When I had Physio last fall, I had a lady treat me who had a 17 year old daughter, she said that while she was getting better as of late, when her daughter turned 13 she considered getting an Exorcist!

I said, "now you know why Tigers have been known to eat thier young!"

I've been in cooking mode lately. Not sure what's come over me, except that I'm so tired of spending money on eating out!! We are refinancing and I'm in gear to get totally out of debt. We only owe our mortgage and that's all, so I'm going to hit it really hard this year.

This week, I've cooked Swiss Steak, a Pot Roast, Spaghetti, and tonight we are having homemade Soup made from the leftover roast. I take food to our secretary nearly every time I cook, so she's been a happy camper not having to spend money either!

Other than that, I have lots of travel coming up! I'm going to CA for a few days next week to visit my daughter and hubby. Then we leave for a big 30th anniversary trip in Europe the first week of May. At the end of June, we go to Kenya for missions. In July, my mom and me, my daughter, and my sister and niece are taking a girl trip. At the end of October, I go to Brazil on a missions trip without Eddie. Then at the end of December, we are planning to go to the Philippines for missions!!! The missions trips are definitely NOT vacations, but I love them.

It's for a commercial janitorial company. The reason it appeals to me is that I was a representative for a national chain before I got married, so I know the ends and outs. I would only handle the supply end and would get commission off of the already established accounts plus a salary.

I can also choose to work full or part-time - would need details on that. If I'm part-time, would another salesperson take or override my existing accounts? I'll have to sit down with the Owner and work out the details. The territory they want someone to cover is in my area. That is another plus.

Thanks, Ron! I'm just getting another wild hair. lol I'm not sure my husband would even let me do it.

After we got into the organic eating, I saw that my candle making is not really safe for breathing and the chemicals are not something to use over a prolonged period of time. Plus, there is not a whole lot of money involved.

One of my sisters, the artist - who, incidentally, was Artist of the Month in her fair city for March - wants to set me up with a blog to represent my furniture. I might want to do that and see if people, on-line, are more interested in paying what I want to charge than they do locally.

A lot of things are turning up Organic at our local stores whether we like it or not.
I try to watch what I eat, if it was up yo my kids, we would eat candy for Breakfast, Lunch, & Supper!
You furniture does look good & you do a great job with them!:thumbsup

Yea, my husband eats junk all the time and tells me to mind my own business. LOL! He has some Sprite in his closet like I wouldn't know it was there. I don't drink it, so I don't know why he is hiding it. LOL! I came back to edit this. I felt bad about joking about his "stash"! He's in the habit of hiding it from our son and even though our son doesn't live with us anymore, my husband still puts it in his closet.

Thanks on the furniture compliment! The problem I'm having is finding good solid wood pieces to refinish or a source of new naked furniture that won't cause me to mark-up the cost out of range. That's a challenge!

well, my funeral DVD business has kept me ultra busy lately. I had two over Easter weekend. And then on Monday when I went to drop off some of the DVD's, our funeral director shared with me that my friend's son had been killed in a car accident 2 states away just about 3 hours earlier. This is a girl I've been friends with since 1st grade. We are so close that she and her sister tease their dad and tell him that I am "the favorite daughter".

So needless to say, I am right now working on Brian's DVD. But I had to take a break for a little bit. Too hard.

And then my mom has been having some health issues so I've been running her to the cardiologist. She goes Monday for an echo and a stress test.

And of course there is always the challenge of raising a 15 year old with ADHD, trying to get his medication regulated and following him to his baseball games almost every night.

Nothing going on in my life. Nope. Nothing.
