We are going out to dinner with one of my bridge partners and her husband tonight. My husband was the assistant mgr. of the local hardware store after working there part-time and they never paid him to be a manager, so he is going back to part time. He is doing handyman work which is the business we had in Arizona. He already has about 5 jobs lined up before he is even ready. My friend that we are going to dinner with, has some work for him. Should be an interesting evening, we really don't know them all that well.

We will not have the same income, probably better, but he will be happier and I am tired of people wanting you to do too much work for nothing. I am almost at that point in my job too, but can't both of us quit. LOL.

Anyway, I found this site of famous peoples dogs. Ugly, but fun to look at. Dog Site Hope I remembered the HTML to post that.

Playing bridge tomorrow at the club. I need to play against a live human being before Jan 29 when we have a tournament here.

Well, read Martin Luther Kings Speech yesterday. When you really think of it, he was so ahead of his time. I remember all that, I especially remember when he was killed. It took years to really appreciate what he meant to all of us, no matter what race we are.

Off to shower and get to work. Just another day.

Big bridge tournament the end of the month. An old friend is flying in the end of the month and I will have a decent partner. I am looking forward to it. Still no good pards here yet, so my game sucks. Other old friends coming in from Texas at the same time, but won't see a whole lot of them.

Can't find much on TV to excite me tonight. I might even read!! What a novel idea, hee, hee.
Barbecued chicken and salad for dinner.

One last load of laundry before work starts tomorrow. No changes here.

We are going out to dinner with friends tomorrow. We are really stay-at-homes now. Work and home. My hubby is very handy so he has made major improvements on our little three bedroom. We really use our house, so it is a real refuge and I really like it now.

When we moved here, I had never seen the house. I had to finish up my old job, so my husband flew here and picked the house. We were very limited by what we could afford. He did very well. It was really yucky at first, but he has sure fixed it up. Cleaning it helped too.

Just a little snippet of my life.

Well, home from work. News about Tommy perked me up, but that was the highlight of another day here in paradise. ( It's cold and rainy today.)

I really should be thankful to have the job I do. So many people hate their jobs. I think I am underpaid, but don't hate it now that we have enough help. At this point in my life, I am sort of winding down my career days and just trying to make it to Social Security without another job change.

Well, off to fix dinner and veg out the rest of the night. Will check in on you all later.

The pictures are snow, Emerald Coast Style. We have some of the whitest sand in the world.

By the way, I concur with Petcupid. Brad Rocks. I forget that right now it is free, and who am I to bitch. Thanks Brad for the great service.

Lightening quick today. Have you hugged your cable modem today?

Well, it is beautiful here on the emerald coast today. How is it where you are? I will try to put up a picture of snow, Emerald Coast Style!!

Enter a City or US Zip:

Well between 6:30 and 7:00 AM Central time, you can get into live journal. At least I found out you all are in the same boat. It's warming up a little the next couple of days, but we are still lucky compared with much of the country.

Last day of the week then the weekend. Not much planned again. Just clean house.

Hope you all are getting some relief from the weather.

Hi, Anyone there? I still can't get on.

Just got done with dinner. Spent the whole weekend goofing off. I don't think I am ready to go to work tomorrow, but..........Another day, another dollar. LOL

Very uneventful New Years Eve. Lots of celebrating around us. It has been quite a few years since we lived in a neighborhood like now, with close neighbors. We bought the only house in Destin under $100,000, so we have a small lot. This is actually good, since I do not like keeping up a yard. We have the largest lot in our neighborhood since we are on a corner. Anyway, it has taken me a while to get used to close neighbors. Some of our neighbors are less than considerate, so I remind them when I see them. Then they try for a while. Ok, enough griping for tonight. Hope you all survived the New Year in good shape.
