Sometimes it's hard to figure out why things happen. My friend just lost her son in a car crash on Thursday. He was a passenger and in the wrong place at the wrong time. I met him one Thanksgiving, he was a very nice person. His funeral was today.

I got a full-time job!
I feel quite bad, no really! I know people who have been unemployed for months and some for over a year. And when they got a job they had to take one that they were over qualified for and for a lower salary. I got the perfect job, within 3 months of looking, I'll be managing perfect projects, good drive to work and a nice hourly rate thank-you-very-much!
I start the 22nd.

So, I celebrated 14 years in the states. I almost forgot the date. It's amazing to think of all the things that have happened...and all the things that are still the same; I still have the same cat I came over with and I'm still 6lbs from my goal :-)

Wow, Tempist Fugit!
Well not too much has happened since my last entry.
Still 6lbs from my goal - yeah I know "broken record".
I'm still doing some contract for for Moxie, and I have received a couple of unemployment checks, so between the two I am managing to pay bills. I have been applying for jobs from the paper, via friends and online. It's a tough market out there, but there are a few possibilities on the horizon.
I had a burst of activity with stained glass and started making terrariums. They are pretty cool, if I say so myself. I really think I need a website. There is also a woman who wants to sell some of my stuff on her website, so one day I may actually sell something. That would be nice, even if I just cover my costs it would be an achievement.
