Appetizer Name 2 things you would like to accomplish in 2008.
I have lots of things I would like to accomplish in 2008. Probably the most important two I can think of right now would be 1.) find a legitimate way to make money working from home and 2.) get more scrapbooking done.
Soup With which cartoon character do you share personality traits?
This one was hard. So I went here cartoonquiz and took a quiz. This is what they told me : You are Tweety! You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty, and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free. Goes to show you how dumb some quizzes are!
Salad What time of day (or night) were you born?
I think it was midday but I am not sure. Will have to ask my Mom!
Main Course Tell us something special about your hometown.
Well my hometown growing up (until I was 8) was Enon Valley, PA. There is nothing special about that town, it is tiny! I now live in Naples, FL (and have since I was 8) and we have the most gorgeous weather most of the year. It is sunny and 72 at 9:30 am and we'll be in the 80's before the day is out.
Dessert If you could receive a letter from anyone in the world, who would you want to get one from? Maybe an old friend I haven't heard from in ages?

Some People Where Meant to Have A Career...
and I am not one of them! I absolutely love being at home. I loved being at home when my kids were little and I was fortunate enough to be able to do that. Now I am totally enjoying Bailey and the other benefits of being at home. And one of those benefits are my crafts. Here is a great beaded ornament cover that I am making in all different colors. Along with the blue, red and green I also have gold, purple, pink, and a turquoise blue to make. What do you think? I love them and they are so fun to make. The pattern is from Michelle Skobel and I got the kit for free from Ready to Bead.com. I am selling the completed ornaments at eBay.Friday, December 14, 2007

Amazing Bailey
There is an old saying that the older you get the faster time goes. Someone knew what they were talking about! It hardly seems possible that Miss Bailey is four months old already. She is such a doll. She had her doctor's appt today and weighs over 15 lbs. Quite a difference from the skinny, elephant skinned baby that Nicole brought home from the hospital barely 6 lbs. She looks so healthy and happy now. Don't you love her ruffled bonnet?

Feast One Hundred & Seventy
Appetizer What is your favorite carnival/amusement park ride? I do not like carnival/amusement park rides of any kind. The merry go round is too fast for me. I am prone to migraine headaches and any kind of spinning, etc will give me one. I don't even like to ride in a car much less an amusement park ride. I do enjoy going to carnivals and amusement parks. The food at carnivals is great!
Soup How do you react in uncomfortable social situations? First, I try not to put myself in an uncomfortable social situation. If it happens, I get quite and try and hide!
Salad On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy discussing deep, philosophical topics? 2-3, not much into the deep intense topics.
Main Course Did you get a flu shot this year? If not, do you plan to? No and no
Dessert Approximately how many hours per week do you spend watching television? This is a hard question. When the boys are here the TV is always on. But just because Spongebob Squarepants is on does not mean I am watching it. I watch approx 6-8 hours of TV a week but since I am not working it is on more.

Housing Market
My blog is usually filled with picture of my grandbaby, my kids or my crafts but Wednesday morning I got a surprise that I was not really expecting. I got layed off at work. I worked for a roofing company and we had been told for the past year that although the housing market was not doing well that the "A" team was in place and we would prevail. Well, working in Accounting as I did, I could see the writing on the wall. I just didn't think it would affect me as early as it did. I really am glad that I am not still there waiting for my layoff. I can only image the stress that the people that are still there are going through. My layoff has happened and I am off to collect unemployment. I did get a week and a half pay and my vacation days so I am set for a couple of weeks.
I have been toying with the idea of opening a day care again. I ran a day care when my kids were little and it is the perfect way to be able to stay at home with your little ones while providing an income. When Nicole started calling around for day care and found out what places are charging and finding no spots available, it got me to thinking. The layoff will just push that thought into reality.
My dad, the kids, Bailey and I are off to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving to see my Grandma. With the birth of Bailey there are five generations and with her being 93 we thought it was the perfect time to visit. When we get back I will get to the serious business of cleaning out the garage and setting up my day care.
