Good morning, Illinois!

I have been pretty busy lately at work and home.  I just remembered to check in.

Lisa--have a great vacation and cruise!  Hopefully the storms will tone down.

Nancy--CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!  I am so happy for you.  I think I would like to work from home, but I love being here with the kiddos also.

I have two board meeting this week after work (the first was last night, the next tomorrow night).  I have to take Todd for a colonoscopy on Friday and am speaking at Rosecrance on Saturday.  

I traveled up to see my surgery team on Monday to see if they had any help with the weight gain and basically, the answer was to do what I know is correct, do not cheat (even a little) and see the dietitian again in three months.  The psychologist was the most helpful and reminded me that I should keep in touch via "MyChart" and touch base in 3 weeks instead.  I AM trying, but I guess, "try harder" is the answer.

Liv is home, but works so much, we hardly see her.  I will be encouraging her to have down time with friends, as that is very important, especially before she goes back to the difficulty of college.

I will have Riley this weekend, and her birthday is Tuesday.  I'm still trying to think of what we could do to celebrate.

That's about it for me!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

There are quite a few websites that you can find work from home jobs.  I found the current one on Indeed.com.  For location you put in the word "remote".  It took me several attempts to get on the remote site.  Type in the word remote in the location before you insert the type of job you are looking for.  Make sure it says Remote only as there is a Remote OR and one in Australia  lol.  Glassdoor.com has the Australian city.  

Another website is [email protected]  

CareerBuilder.com

Linked IN

A huge work at home company is Sykes  http://www.workatsykes.com  

Cigna has a lot of jobs as well  [email protected]

Once you get started looking all sorts of things popped up.  I also googled work at home jobs to see what newsletters, advice etc was out there and signed up for emails on job openings.

Hello everyone

I know it's not Saturday but I feel bad that I keep missing these...grrr. 

Saturday....what did I do Saturday.  Oh ya there was a community garage sale and we decided to bike ride around and look at everyone's sale.  We ended up seeing stuff we liked and Greg biked back to the house to get the car.  I followed after on the bike.  I also baked for a cook out we had on Sunday. 

This Friday we are taking the day off and going into the city and going to the art institute of Chicago and the cheesecake factory (my favorite) and just bum around the Navy Pier.  That is my birthday...instead of a party.  I think that is great. 

Nancy- How did you find a job that you can work from home.  I would love to work from home. 

Lisa- Have a great time on your vacation.  Sounds wonderful

Well back to work

Hello Everyone!

It has been a great weekend for me!  Lots happening in my neck of the woods. The first is my great news -- I have a new job!  The company is Resources Global Professionals Company.  You can visit their web site at www.rgp.com.  I am a Consumer Resource person.  I will be making 3 times as much money as I have made for my last two jobs!  I about fell off my chair when they posted the salary!    I start training tomorrow morning.  I interviewed with them on Wednesday and have met with them for about an hour on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  They sent me a check to go buy a computer and supplies.  I am still in a dream state.  

Rick seems to be doing real well.  He is insistent that he will be out of the nursing home in a month, so he is highly motivated!  I do hope it happens that fast.  

Gage is enjoying Japan a lot.  He got hungry at first because food is so expensive but he finally got a big check from the college so he is eating again.  The dummy was not letting us know he was hungry.  I guess he lost weight the hard way.  He is there for another 6 weeks or so.  

Rick has a birthday on Wednesday so we will celebrate that.  So things are great here. 

Lisa I hope you have a great cruise trip.  Enjoy Florida before the cruise.  I hope the weather is good to you so you are not having rain all day.

Hey I like your camper.  I hope you have a great time camping.  I am sorry that I have forgotten your name.  I promise I will do better next time.  

Everyone have a great week!

Raining here today in the Alton area but my dog Lily and I did get our walk in without getting too wet! Plans for today are to get the camper cleaned and packed to be ready to go camping tomorrow afternoon. We will be staying at a nearby state par****il Wednesday morning. We have a 29 foot Jayco cab over RV and are loving taking it out about every other week. The dog and I get extra miles in and we get to see some new sights. I finished vacuuming and cleaning but guess I'd best get to packing. Pictures of the camper to follow! Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Saturday, I have a closet I want to finish cleaning today, also some outside work to do. I hope all of you have some fun things planned.

We leave Thursday for our cruise to the Carribbean. We will spend 3 days in Florida before hand.We are praying that the rain stops before then. We are doing Universal instead of Disney and going to the cape on Saturday. One night in Cocoa Beach and then leave for the week.

So, intil then, I am going to try to do other things that need to be done.

Hugs,

Lisa

OMGosh, thank you for this information.  I just spoke to someone yesterday from your area and said I only knew of Northwestern in Chicago and that was too far for you to travel.  Thanks again

Good Morning, Tis the start of a 3 day weekend. Any Plans?

I have nothing going today, so I think I will get into something here in the house.

Tomorrow we have Morgan's graduation in Bloomington and Monday I want to do ribs with sweet corn.

I am also slowly getting my wardrobe for the cruise together. We leave on the 9th for 3 days in Florida, then 7 on the Freedom of the Sea. I can't wait.

If you are traveling today, please be careful.

Huggers to all,

 

Lisa
