And Life Goes On

It's Sunday - it's also 1:20 in the afternoon, and I am still in my PJ's. I am running out of ambition, the winter is long, cold, dark, and I have often wondered if I really do suffer from that seasonal disorder!! I could sleep all day! I have had ideas, and plans, but none come to fruition very easily! I am energized when I am in the company of 'the baby' aka that sweet bundle of joy, Dominick! And we just bought a stroller so when he comes here - we can take the sidewalk walks - they don't have sidewalks in Granby, and the drivers there are way too fast for the roads!
Anywho.....I continue to crochet, and about now - there must be at least 40 bankets in my stash...now to market them!! My thoughts are to start with Craig's List, and keep it local. It would be great to get a site on ETSY..but with my luck I would get lots of orders, and I am only one making these. Granted I am quick, and certain blankets can be made it a couple of days, but I am only human.....
Real Estate is done - I can't afford the fees in this market - of course I have to decide if Iam going to keep my license at all....tht deision will be made at renewal time...May.
I shold get back to the mundane chores that surround me, and hope that my teenagers would ever consider hekping out. We have Happy, Bashful and Grumpy living here....and of course the last is a combo of Sleepy, and a little Dopey at times. But that's another blog!
Enjoy - and remember....spring is coming!!

A New Year?

The old year has ended, on not one of the better notes in the symphony. Left the shortest employ I have ever had in my entire life! Semi mutual decision, I was so ready to go, and they made the decision for me. It was at an unknown Realty company - that did everything oh so wrong. Of course he claimed that 'that's why we hired you', to clean up the mess that they created. Having an unlicensed agent doing RE for MONTHS! I refuse to go against everything that I have worked for over the past 4 years to put my license in jeopardy - so c'ya later! Phew - gad that's over - but I have not walked away without leaving a little notice behind. I will be filing some ethics complaints - they have to be stopped - some home buyer is going to wind up getting screwed because of their lack of knowledge. So I move forward!
2008 certainly had ups and downs - mostly downs.....just not a happy camper enough of the time. When I am around my new grandson, well that's a good time, all my kids that's good too, but too much of my time is spent thinking about what's missing. I cold write a book about that.
So now that I am unemployed AGAIN....I will move forward, find something that I can do and do well. I have had an invite to go back to an agency I was with last year, and of course I have the debt hanging over my head to my previous agency - not good. This too shall pass...
Here's hoping that 2009 will find me here more often, with better news!
