I have purchased a plane ticket! I will be arriving at around 12:30 pm on Friday the 21st. Looking forward to seeing people! :) But then I'm only there two days... flying back on Sunday to be with my husband for Easter.

You know the world is trying to tell you something when the outdoors feels warmer than the indoors. So I went for a walk. Do you know it's only 15 minutes to the river? It's so nice to sit in the warm sunlight and listen/watch as the water flows by. I think spring may be starting to take over from winter. How lovely. :)

And it looks like I'm going to have to buy plane tickets. For the weekend of Easter. That's going to be fun.

edit: And to no one's surprise it looks like it would be cheaper to drive up. Must talk to husband on way to tax appointment about this.

Couple of weeks 'til I get to visit Washington! And then only a couple of months 'til I move back. I am happy that I'll get to be home soon. And the sooner I'm home, the sooner I get to leave Macy's for something better. That will be nice. Only downside is that it looks like Dain will be staying in Utah longer than expected to get the house done. I ( Read more... )

Walks along the river are lovely. My husband and I are talking about doing that every weekend we can. You know, every weekend until the Cottonwood fluff makes it look like it's snowing. Then I'll have to give it up and, with any luck, I'll be back in WA for good by the time the cottonwoods are no longer a problem. So give it about a month. Maybe ( Read more... )

I wonder if all the clouds will clear out by this afternoon. I don't know that I want to go to the little river if I can't bask in the sunlight as I've been doing for the past two days. I would be happier about the overcast skies if I didn't fear snow. I'm so tired of snow... and so is everyone else around here. But it's the first day of March so ( Read more... )

I am happy today. I hope it lasts through my next three days of work and into the weekend. I have my three-day weekend (finally!) and I'm so looking forward to it. I hope I regenerate enough to make it through another three weeks of Retail induced oddness. Of course, at the end of that three weeks I get a treat of a four day weekend and a short ( Read more... )

Well, that explains a LOT. Mostly in that it confirms what I know of myself. Surprisingly accurate really.

Back to thinking about what I want. It would be nice to have some specifics to strive for. It's so much easier to plot a course if you have a destination in mind.

3 drivable cars for 3 people
4 necklaces and 4 pairs of earring made and ready to sell
1 new job (for hubby)
1 day of sales specialist training (for me)
6 days to my next day off
1 new washer purchased from Sears and to be delivered in the next couple of days.
30 days and counting to next visit to WA

So it looks like the local library is hiring again and there's an Estate planning lawyer who wants an assistant. Things to investigate, especially as the Window of Opportunity will be closing shortly.

No, I'm not leaving Macy's. I want my 12 months and job transferability. I had my 6 month review yesterday and it went very well. Now if I can just ( Read more... )
