Okay, I just felt like laughing      Forgive me?

We're going to the State Fair on Saturday - I really don't feel the need to go this year, but my hubby wants to go, so Saturday is our only opportunity.  I plan on having a pork chop, some cheese curds, maybe try a little of the infamous sweet corn ice cream I've heard about.   Other than that, it'll be DRINK DRINK DRINK!  (although it sounds like it'll only be in the 70's Saturday - HEAVENLY!!)

My husband, after nearly 2.5 years of being unemployed/self employed, started a new job a few weeks ago (THANK YOU, GOD!!!    ).  He had to take a bit of a pay cut, but steady income is better than uncertain income, ya know?  Anyway, I took a hobby job to help supplement our finances, at a grocery store close to home.  Starting as a cashier, but they plan to move me to the Service Counter before long.  I love it!  Not sure why, but so far - I do!  I'm on my feet between 5-8 hours at a time, which is a HUGE contrast from my regular job, but ya know what?  It hasn't been a problem!  160 pounds ago, I'd have never even applied for fear my knees and I wouldn' t be able to take that - not to mention the likelihood that I wouldn't have fit in the little cubby behind the register...

So I'm uber busy these days, lovin' it, and planning to stash part of the hobby job $ in my vacation account -  'cuz I'm heading back to ***** Cana next March with my daughter and a dear friend!  YEE! FREAKIN'! HAW!!!!!

It's GOOD to have something to look forward to!!!

Hey Darla!  I'm glad to hear that things are going well and you like your hobby job.  I know what it's like to be busy with the two jobs.  Like you, I love my second job at the bingo hall.  It's so different from my regular one, Stop Loss Insurance underwriting.  In a way, it's kind of like my alone time, but I get paid for it.  Woo Hoo! 

I'm super jealous!!  I know your going to have a great time on your vacation!!  Can't wait to hear about it! 

Hopefully we'll be able to meet up for coffee before hand.

 
Never make somebody a priority when they only consider you an option.
