Happy Birthday Sweetie! 

This week marks a couple of special dates for Joe and me. First, Monday was the one year anniversary of us adopting Bailey. Since the Anti-Cruelty Society didn't know his birth date, we decided that his adoption date was also his birthday. Happy 4th Birthday to Bailey!!!

Well, this is the week we find out about layoffs. Over the past three weeks our entire HR staff has had to reapply for a limited number of positions. The whole process has been quite interesting. First, we were told they are transforming the HR department across all of North America. Then, we were informed whether or not we were considered slotted ( Read more... )

Joe and I have two extra tickets for tonight's Janet Jackson concert here in Chicago. The tickets are in section 103 row DD (4th row in that section).

If interested, let me know.

This morning I made a tip to the ER via ambulance. My back finally had enough and decided it was time to provide me with so much pain that I was unable to walk. I discovered this when I finally managed to work my way out of bed and onto my feet. Once on my feet I couldn't lift up either foot to actually walk and any attempt caused such excruciating ( Read more... )
