okay, okay...I'm back!

My oh my....poor Dini... day started off not quite right and then no blogs to set life right! Calling all bloggers...step up folks, we must rescue the wee one before she slips into a blog depression! (especially since SHE is getting to go away tomorrow!) Of course, I've already chatted with her..so allmy news is old news..hehe.

Let's see.. we've had huge amounts of rain since last night and even though it's stopped this evening, the clouds are covering the sky with small patches peeking through but none that show the moon so, no lunar eclipse for me. I think, actually hope..haha..that our rain is finished for a while. The weather report says we should see a beautiful weekend...this is one of those times that I really hope those weathercasters that get paid BIG bucks to usually be wrong.. are RIGHT..lol.

Big news from my home!! Speaking with tremendous amounts of parental pride I want to share with all of you that Amanda (my oldest daughter) was promoted to assistant manager of the Crate and Barrel store she works at in Los Angeles. Not only will she have much more responsibility, which she is definitely ready to handle, but she'll get a NICE raise which I'm hoping will help me live in the style I'd like I'd become accustomed to! hehe Truthfully, I'm just plain proud ...she's been with the company 4 1/4 years and started as a floor stocker. Way to go DAUGHTER!

In the midst of my joy, my heart is saddened at the loss of a young lady used to babysit for me and who's younger sister is a good friend of Amanda's. May God bless her family and give them peace in a time of incredible sadness.

Sorry to repeat... life is fragile, friends...no matter what age you are.. tell those you love that you love them...stay in touch no matter how near or far you are...

I LOVE YOU .. hugz ..Reetz
