Daily?

OK. So the "daily" adventure thing may turn out to be a bit much.  I'm really not one who sits at the computer for hours and hours.  It's located in the basement of our home, and not really convenient.
Today is another wonderful day here in lovely West Jordan, Utah.  Woke up to a bit of snow this morning, and was glad I didn't have to get up and drive to work!  My husband is quite the control freak, so he keeps trying to plan out our days.  I, on the other hand, have always had a bit of an independent streak so I keep throwing wrenches into his plans.   He finds it irritating. Oh well.  Hopefully we won't kill each other over the next few weeks while neither one of us is working.
I have had a lot to think about these past few days.  It's such a HUGE adjustment not working after 10 long years of working in the corporate world.  I say that, because before that I was a stay at home mom and frankly,had to get a job just so I could have a break! Don't ever think that staying at home with the kids isn't work, because it is. HARD work too. I wouldn't change it for the world though.  I feel bad for a lot of mothers today who don't have that opportunity for financial reasons.  We gave up a lot so that I could stay home, but like I said, I don't regret it for one minute.
So-I'm thinking about going back to school, starting to sew again, doing some needlepoint, doing SOMETHING with the back yard from hell, writing in my journal everyday, finishing my Personal Progress (for all you LDS followers), reading all my beloved mysteries AGAIN, and changing the world. Oh yeah.  And blogging.  Doesn't sound like too much, does it?
Until tomorrow...

New World

So- as many of my good friends know, I recently lost my job of 10 years at a well known bank.  At first I was sad, but now I see it as a blessing in disguise.  I've been unhappy there for the last few years because I don't like being told to cheat if I want to get ahead!  I still have my integrity!  More than I can say for THOSE people.
So now here I am. 50 years old and no job!  Frankly I've been looking forward to a little time off... there are so many things I want to get done around the house and yard!  My kids are all grown now, the oldest will be 25 this  summer and the youngest (twins) just turned 18.  They are good people and I think I've done a pretty good job raising them. I am very proud of the people they have become.  Look at me... taking all the credit!!  OK OK... my husband, Craig, helped too!
  I will most likely start to look for another job soon, but I just don't feel in a hurry right now.  As some annoying people I USED to work with say "It is what it is".  I really hate that saying.  It just sounds so incredibly dumb.  It is what it is.  Really?  I know what it means, I just think it could be said in a more intelligent way.  Like-"That's the way it is" or "Just accept it" or SOMETHING.  Maybe it's just the people who say it that annoy me. 
Anyway.  It's late on a Friday afternoon and I'm just taking it easy this week since being "dismissed" from my employ.  We have tickets to go to the University of Utah gymnastics event tonight.  They have an excellent gymnastics team, and it's always fun to go with the family.
