DJF, I am sorry and I hope you will find the next position VERY soon!

It's pouring down rain in Chicago tonight (and at 7:30 PM it's 52 degrees), so... may I have coffee, please? Decaf is fine.

Well at least I have some things to be thankful for...

With the taxes I was planning on getting a new computer and thanks to the actually good timing of my layoff I can still do it! I put the parts on order today...me and the hubby are both getting upgrades! *drool lol*

My son is wonderful and adorable and I spent my money I got from recycling on him instead of putting it in my gas tank like I budgeted. Seeing his face light up whem he gets a new toy is way worth walking a little bit more lol.

My 5 year anniversary is this week. Thanks to Uncle Sam depositing my money earlier than I thought, me and the hubby can go to a nice dinner. I wouldn't care if we just had dinner at home, I love my hubby all the same :D. I can't believe its been that long already!

All in all I'm happy...life can't get me down!

Edit: I found the thread where I posted my wedding pic (at our one year anniversary) http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=66877

Ive been on the laid off vacation since the 16th of Jan. Construction is way down even for this time of year. Lots of lay offs and shut downs.

Im signed up for my first set of computer certification classes next month. Time to get out of the trades.

I get to go on a real vacation next Friday. It'll be the first vacation I've been on in ages! We're going to Disney World. It'll be the first time that I'll have gone there without kids! I've either been the kid or I've been with my niece or nephew before. This will be an adult Disney trip.

ETA: Hmmm...that didn't sound like I meant it to sound. It's still Mickey. It will be a G rated adult kind of trip.

I had never heard of Midori until this post - except for the figure skater, Midori Ito.

So this green drink - what does it taste like? Maybe like the green lifesavers?

So far as I know it is a melon liqueur. I've never tasted it though - it sounds far too sweet for me. I'll have a cybermidori though, and send good vibes to all those with job worries.

IT is pretty sweet. I like it with a lemon lime soda- or grapefruit!

On Cyber Midori!
DONE!

C1 and MOFF,
what are you all drinking!

Grace,

Oh no, I hope you aren't being tarnished by learning new alcohols!

Thursday's is a place where you do learn a lot of new and fun things....

Green Lifesavers? They only way to find out is to buy a bottle....:D

In the mean time.....DONE?

Made it to Florida OK!!! Plane ride was OK. Hannah was GREAT, Tanya was... Nervous. LOL We had a really bumpy take off and ascent, but once we got to altitude it was cool.

Thanks for the vibes!!!
