BUSY Little Bee!

YEAH! It's almost March! My crocus' are already blooming (along with the daffodils that were here long before I moved in) and I can't WAIT for the tulips to finally bloom! It has been the WEIRDEST winter here, mostly 50's and 60's, and not even enough snow to sneeze at!

I'm steadily on the road to finding a new job and hope something positive will happen by the end of March. It can't be soon enough! I'm about to loose my mind with all of the retail BS! *sigh*.... how I miss corporate and office work! At least I have the kids I babysit to keep me sane (how fun is that... and most parents say children drive them INsane).

The 20-year reunion for our high school is starting to FINALLY come together after a little hurdle and bump in the road. The best part has been re-connecting with everyone after all of these years! I really do miss Harvard so much (or maybe just the people I went to school with). I really can't WAIT for it finally to all get here (and with a new job, I should ACTUALLY be able to go)!

Then, there is the pending "holiday" coming up. For me, it's Ostara, those in the mundane world prefer to celebrate Easter. It's actually going to be a very nice celebration this year. It won't be the first Easter I've spent w/o family, but thank goodness for the family you choose, the friends you bring into your fold. I was speaking with a friend at work today, one I've become very close to, and we're actually going to celebrate it together! A good, old-fashioned, family dinner with all the fixin's (lol). I'm looking forward to actually having a nice dinner party in my home for a change, I'm always at everyone else's. When we spent New Year's together, we had SUCH a good time; I'm really looking forward to doing it again. I invited another friend, but don't know if she, her beau and son will make it.

It's odd.... after my debacles with Xperts and eFilescare (lol), I have been very guarded and hesitant to make friends where I work again, the whole trust factor and all. But, I really would up with a good friend at this company and while at eFile. I truly was blessed with that!

Well, off to bed. There's a brief update for ya! Say some prayers, send some blessings, work a little magic and keep your fingers crossed! Next week should be the start of a new beginning, I hope!

Reuunion Angst!

So things were going GREAT! We had the date set, planning was smooth sailing, the reception place was narrowed down and ALL of a sudden there are about 4 "local-yokals" that want to move the date because it's inconvenient for "them"! Ummm... WHERE were you folks MONTHS ago when we got the word out, started the planning and asked for frickin' feedback? And NOW you want to step in and change EVERYTHING?

We took everything into consideration - knowing about 80% of the class will be coming in from out of town, arranging lodging, a suitable locale AND when people would most like to come. THEN, people want to up and change everything? NEVER MIND that we have spent money getting everything straight, arranged and getting things together. And the rumor mill says they're looking at August? That's back to school and off to college time for most! That couldn't be a WORSE time. Especially for travelers.

That's fine. The group there wants to do there own little thing, fine. They live there, can get together many times a year. The bulk of us aren't going to make trips back and forth and we want to ENJOY our time. As a whole, we selected Milk Days Weekend. I'm sorry if you'd rather go to a party locally and think it's an inconvenience to visit with long ago friends, but let's get real. It truly isn't about YOU. It's about everyone and the 130 students that attended along WITH you - not just to 4-6 that want a different date.

ARG! Some people will just never get it...........
