Charge it

Times are very hard right now for almost everyone out there. It is not only hard making ends meet but let's face it sometimes it is hard to even get the ends to look at each other. But, there is still hope for people trying to obtain credit. I have been searching for a visa credit card application to try to obtain a visa card for us to use on our way back to Florida. So what I am looking for right now is instant approval so that if we qualify for the visa card there is time to get things in the works before we leave here. I do not want to be one of those people who get a card and run up a balance and then can't afford to pay the monthly bill. I want to use this card for those emergency situations that arrive from time to time. Then when the bill arrives I pay it and am ready for the next emergency to arrive.

You Crave an Important Life

Your dream is to life a live a life that leaves a mark You'd like to have a mission or journey to complete, even if it takes years. You want your life to be meaningful, and having a final goal brings you meaning. You'd like to accomplish something big, if only to inspire others to believe it can be done.

The Sunset Test

I have to say I really believe this pretty much sounds like me. I want to leave a mark on the world when I am gone. The mark I long to leave is to leave the world a better place if even for just one person when I am gone. Many of you who know me know that my husband and I have lived and been missionaries to the nation of Haiti for many years. So hopefully with all of the work we have done there maybe life is better for someone there.

I am so tired

Today was a really rough day at work. I am so tired tonight that I could go to bed right now and sleep right though the night. I have decided that I am going to work two extra days at work before I leave there. I agreed to do it if they could pay me for the extra days when I leave there and not have them due the next week which would be the way they would be due. When I made the arrangements to work the extra days. The president of the company said it would be no problem to pay me in full when I leave and then said he wanted to tell me something. He said that he really hated to see me leave the company that in his words, "I was the best thing to ever happen to the company". I tell you that really made me feel good. In this day and age to many employers do not really appreciate their employees. I have always been the kind of employee who gives 110% to my job. My daddy always had a saying that you should never have to back up to take your paycheck. Meaning you should always know you did the best job possible and that you could look your employer eye to eye when you got your check. I have always tried to be that kind of employee.

The feed bag

I don't know what my problem is lately but I have been snacking at work like there is no tomorrow. I mean I have been eating candy, snack cakes, pop tarts and just about anything that comes across my path. If I keep this up I will need to check out something like Kansas City Plastic Surgeons to have some liposuction done to suck out the fat I am putting on. Luckly I am only going to be working there for another couple of weeks and maybe I will lay off the junk food and take back off the pounds I have surely put on.

Packing

We have been packing all weekend. I didn't know we had so much stuff. Plus it seems like every time I pack things from one area of the house more stuff magically appears in the same spot. We have a lot of it done but I hate packing and moving. I want to just have it all over and get there and get unloaded and unpacked and be done with it. Plus on top of packing I did laundry too. So now it is time for ice cream and to just relax for the rest of the evening.

Beautiful sight

Today we were coming home from having breakfast and we saw the most beautiful sight. I have to admit I did not take the picture since my camera does not have a great zoom lens on it. But we say hundreds and hundreds of Snow geese taking flight from the fields here in Pennsylvania. They were flying in the normal "V" formation and then we passed one of the fields and there were hundreds of them there. This geese are from the Antarctic and are absolutely beautiful to see flying. They actually seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. It was also a beautiful day here in Pennsylvania. Today it got to almost 70 degrees today and we got some things done outside that we needed to do. I plan to open the windows of the house tomorrow if it is still equally as nice outside.

I quit

Well I did it today. I gave my notice on my job. To be honest it was really a hard thing for me to do. When I started working with this company I didn't really think I was going to like the job I was doing. But the job has changed in the time that I have been there and I have really started enjoying my job. Plus I really like most of the people I work with. (there are a couple of exceptions) but hey you have those kind of co-workers no matter where you work. But I gave three weeks notice this morning. My boss completely understands my reasons for leaving my job. (I am not going to go into these reasons here) but that was a load off my back. I worried that for some reason they would not accept my notice and tell me to go ahead and leave. But they didn't and they are going to get someone hired so that I can train my replacement. I hating doing that cause I am one of those people who it is easier for me to do the job than to teach someone else how to do the job. But I will be a good girl and teach my replacement everything I know.

Home sweet home

I have some friends that are moving and they are in the process of locating A Real Property Management company to help them locate the perfect place to live. I know from experience that even though they say there are plenty of rental properties out there finding them can be another story altogether. I know people who have driven miles and miles and for hours and hours to try to find housing and it is out there just finding it is the difficult thing. I have every bit of confidence that with some expert assistance our friends will find just that perfect house and that they will have a wonderful move from Pennsylvania to the state of Ohio.

How low can you go?

Tonight

3/3/2009

Lo: 12°

Mostly clear in the evening...then becoming partly cloudy. Lows around 5 above. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

Just thought I would put the forecast for the weather on my blog for tonight. I am so tired of being cold all of the time. I really thought I missed winter, spring, summer and fall. Well I enjoyed last spring, most of the summer and I loved Fall. But I am here to tell you I am not enjoying WINTER at all. I want to be warm. Please give me warmer weather. But guess that won't be happening tonight as you can see the low is supposed to be about 5 degrees and with even the low winds there will be a wind chill factor of probably around 0 so anyway you slice it that is cold.

Speak out

I am thinking about checking into T-shirts printing. I think I might just have something printed that will just let people know that I no longer love snow. We got about 5 to 6 inches of snow here again yesterday and it is so cold that you absolutely freeze to death when you step outside. So I just have to decide what I want my T-shirts to say.
