Today I had an 0700 hrs meeting to start off the day. I was actually early for the meeting, arriving at 0650 hrs. No one else was there yet. Half the people at the meeting arrived late.
Not me.
This is the end of the fiscal year for all businesses and it is a little stressful getting final budget requests submitted and so on. Why, I wonder, do I still like my job?
My colleague is newly engaged and I am so happy for her. She had been very apprehensive about this situation because of cultural differences between her and her fiance and his family, but it would appear that everything has sorted itself out. Love prevails. There is hope for everyone!
I left work about 7 pm and enjoyed the sunshine driving home. Came home and enjoyed a two glasses of red wine. I absolutely love the sun. Wine, too. The sun is so warm and welcoming. Everyone is looking forward to a four day weekend off over Easter. On Saturday we are planning a little adventure drive through the country side. Hopefully we will be able to find some interesting places to visit and a finale of dipping our feet in Lake Huron.

Left work pretty early today, around 4:00 pm. Raced home in the beautiful sunshine so that I could log on to a 2 hour teleconference. At least I was at home.
Gotta think of something else to write about. I have noticed a trend...all I seem to talk about it work. Yikes! Am I that consumed by my job?

This morning was a little bit rainy, but not so cold as it was over the weekend. I drove to work slightly dreading the upcoming week. Will I do okay? Will I manage the daily challenges? Will I make a mistake? Eeegads, do I sound in-secure or what. No, in fact I don't think I am insecure. I just have very high standards. You know, I've set the bar high.
Lot of intersting things going on at work. I learn new things every day. I make pretty good money, too. So why don't I ever have any in my pocket, my sock, my purse, my wallet, my bank account? Because we're paying huge debt reduction so that my husband can retire within the next three years. I'd better get that man retired before he becomes clinically depressed. No kidding.
Today was a bad day for him. He worries about our money situation, the changes that are happening at work and the fact that he will have to get up at 5:30 every day for at least the next three years before he retires. Must be terrible to think that way. Only time he seems happy is on the weekends.
Here it is, 9:30 at night and I've just got in from work a little while ago. Am I crazy?
Up at 5:15 am and home at 8:30pm? I sure do wish I could work from home sometimes.
Sometimes I feel pretty lonely, even when I'm home.
Better figure out how not to complain so much in my blog. I'm feeling a little self-conscious about that. I have a pretty good life overall. Basically I'm pretty happy. Just a little lonely sometimes. I think we all feel a little lonely sometimes.

Gray, overcast and a little bit cold today.
My 22 year old daughter is still devastated because her boyfriend of 5 years broke up with her on Valentine's Day! Who does that?
She just doesn't understand the reasons why and the boyfriend couldn't explain himself. We all figure he just got scared of all of the "marriage talk" that seemed to be surrounding them by some friends. Perhaps he will re-think things and get in touch with her again in a few months. Perhaps not. She's got to learn that even though he "was the one" for her, that life needs to go on.
My older daughter is away at university. A very long ways away. She likes it way up there. She sure likes to live her own life far away from the watching eyes of her parents. Guess we all did at that age.
Am cooking a prime rib roast today. I would love to have the time to cook more good, old-fashioned foods for me and my family. Given time, and good ingredients, I quite like cooking...and of course-eating.
I just watched a video on the internet on turduckin. Seems like a lot of work to me. Wonder what a combination of turkey, duck and chicken actually tastes like.
By the way, I am new to blogging, so am a little self-conscious. Who will read this? Will someone be able to indentify me? Would I care? Would my blog postings matter to my family? Would they criticize me? Yikes, I sound a little insecure. Actually am not too bad in this department (the self-assurance department), but sure do sound like it.
