HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL AND HAVING A GOOD YEAR.IT HAS BEEN AWHILE MY FRIENDS.ALOT HAS HAPPENED HERE IN THE LAND OF JUNEBUG.WELL AFTER 5 YEARS OF PURE HELL.MY LIFE HAS SEEMED TO TAKE A TURN OUT OF THE BLACK HOLE.
I WENT BACK TO WORK.I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN.AFTER VERY WEIRD CHAIN OF EVENTS. MY FRIEND NANCY AND I STILL KEPT IN TOUCH,DROPPING EACH OTHER ALINE FROM TIME TO TIME,TO UPDATE ON THE KIDS,ETC. ONE MORNING,I DROPPED HER ALINE TO LET HER KNOW PATTY WAS GETTING MARRIED.WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS HER DAD WAS VERY ILL.THE MORNING I DROPPED HER A LINE,HER DAD PASSED AWAY,AND SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT ME,BECAUSE OF MY DAD PASSING JUST A YEAR BEFORE.
I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED NANCY,SHE IS THE CLASSY TYPE OF WOMAN I WOULD LOVE TO BECOME. I WANTED TO THANK HER FOR HER FRIENDSHIP OVER THE LAST 9 YEARS,SO I GOT THE COURAGE UP AND CALLED MY OLD BOSS AND OFERED TO FILL IN FOR NANCY WHILE SHE HANDLES HER DADS AFFAIRS.

HE AGREED AND A LONG STORY SHORT,AFTER A WEEK HIS SON OFFERED ME A POSITION BACK WITH THE COMPANY. I HAVE FLEX HOURS,30-40 HRS A WEEK.I NEEDED THE FLEX,BECAUSE I STILL WAS WORKING ON SOME SMALL HEALTH ISSUES.I HAVE BEEN WELL ENOUGH TO WORK AT LEAST 32 TO 40 HRS, I HAVE WORKED A FEW WEEKS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR TIME OF. IM ALREADY BACK,60DAYS.

WHEW! I HAVE HAD SOME VIRUS BUGS,BUT DOC SAID THAT WAS NORMAL AFTER BEING IN THE HOUSE FOR 2 YEARS,AND I WILL GROW A RESISTANCE TO ALL OF IT IN ABOUT 6 MTHS.

I LOVE WORK!!!! MY BOSS IS THE TYPE THAT PUSHES YOU TO STRIVE AND DO BETTER.HE WAS ALWAYS A MENTOR TO ME. HE CAN BE CRANKY AND A BIT SCARY AT TIMES.BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.HE IS A GOOD MAN.
WE MANUACTURE STATE OF THE ART TIME KEEPING SYSTEMS,WALL CLOCKS,TIMERS AND WIRELESS CLOCK SYSTEMS. OUR MAJOR PROBLEM IS IMPORTS!! IM REALLY AT A LOST OF HOW TO IMPROVE ON SALES. IM TRYING EVERY IDEA I CAN THINK OF.

MY KIDS ARE DOING GOOD,AND SO IS MY HUSBAND....
I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO CATCH UP ON BLOGGING IN THE FUTURE

LOVE JUNEBUG

I want to get some opinions on a serious subject.
I work for a small business,15 employees in all.We manufacture our products and are up against imports from china.
And with today's economy,you would think consumers would want to put their money back into our own back yard so to speak. This would help stir the economy. Wouldn't it?

How about the NO-CHINA POLICY NOTRE DAME has had in place for ten years.This is in reference to the SWEATSHOP ISSUES. Do you know of any other companies,universities etc with this same political stance?

I really would like your opinions,feedback etc.

Thank you

JUNEBUG

Usually i have an indifferance to the days of the week.

I do have a migrane so,right now i'm hurting,i sent my husband out to get some O.T.C. stuff and then i'll lay down and hopefully before noon it will be gone.

It is freezing today. 19 degrees,yikes
My husband who usually is hot is screaming it is freezing.

I had planned to clean the bathrooms and hallway landing today,we will see...i may pass and just concitrate on my cooking
i don't know how many of you remember, i have done catering in the past. I have been re-inventing my menu's and tweekung recipies.So hopefully i will put some feelers out there and do a few little jobs.

I hope everyone has a great day and week,LETS PRAY FOR WARMER WEATHER

This week was a week of firsts..I never had peach Ice Cream before and I tried it , it was very good. I also had sushi... I was shocked at how good it is. I would have never tried this before,but this year i'm doing stuff i never did.

I pulled the family room and kitchen apart and gave it a good scrubing,but for the first time,I had a nasty reaction to the Mr.Clean.After being on my own for 21 years,this has never happened. My hands are swollen and sore.

I also did something I never thought i'd do.ever... I opened a myspace,the reason being, we have been looking for my husband's oldest son, he is 18. My thoughts were most teenagers have this,so i would try. Well.I found him, here along he has been living about 45 minutes away.My husband has not seen him in about 14 years.Long story,but anyhoo... he is alive and well. God bless.
Now to contact him.Or not. Only my husband can make that choice,but atleast he knows he's alive , after years and years of dirty games,per his( husband's fist wife). Once again,modern tech, saves the day. I guess......

I'm joing a gym........sigh.. so,we will see.

its,so cold that walking outside everyday is very hard,esp. with RA

sOOO...there is some of the latest
