queenoftheskiesI can't believe it. It's amazing.
I feel kinda bad about not being hugely productive the past few days, but I really needed NOT to be after all the OT on Monday and Tuesday.
Yesterday, the kids and I went to Macaroni Grill to celebrate the good news about work.
Today, I went out for breakfast and then the kids and I went out to dinner at Johnny Rockets (GREAT burgers) and went to see Fantastic Four at the movies. I'd seen it, but kids hadn't, and enjoyed it. Then we went to Borders. I bought a soundtrack and a couple of really pretty metal book marks. (I'm a sucker for pretty bookmarks.)
We would've gone to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream (since they have a sugar free variety), but we needed to get home to do laundry.
There's always tomorrow. I'm enjoying having days off. :)
I've read five different pieces to critique/review and need to get to work on writing them up over the next day or two.
And, back to writing tomorrow. Looking forward to that.
Tonight, I think I'm going to try to get to bed earlier and get some rest. Kitties have been waking me up too early lately.

And I'm super glad that things at the job worked out well. I'm so glad that the nice people won and you're going to have some stability and people that appreciate your dedication and work ethic for a change.

It's sooooo good!

I've written some this morning and hope to get more written this evening. Have to pick up my son from college soon and then drive down to Huntington Beach, which is a long way.

Looks like the old owner has thrown another kink into things, but I hope it'll all work out soon.
