...work. I work very part-time, but I feel truly valued. In this time when so many people are out of work, I’m so blessed.

reconnecting with old friends. Just happened to answer the phone at work and took a call from an old, old friend who had moved away. Small world. :)

realizing that I wanted to add a goal to my life to be more deliberate with my reconnecting with old friends.

my son winning the fire safety contest! He worked so hard on his poster I’m so happy for him! The prize is awesome! They will come to our house and pick him up in the firetruck, take him to breakfast, then drop them off at school. Little boy heaven! He’s over-the-moon happy!

jack-o-lanterns…the more elaborate the better!! I love everything about making them, toasting & eating the seeds, lighting them in the dark. I’m not a Halloween fan, but I LOVE jack-o-lanterns.

and one more…my workout schedule! I don’t like working out, but I’m in a good schedule that works for me, so I’m doing it. Plus I’m trying a Zumba class tomorrow!! We’ll see how that goes….

I invited a friend, but even if she opts out, I’m still going! My friend who teaches it says her Weds class is small (fewer people to laugh at me?!?) so she’d love to have me come to help fill the class! Thought I’d post it here too, so there’d be no bailing out!

I work out to the Martha Stewart show and today she had on this woman that makes gorgeous bags out of fabric, duct tape and staples!! I kid you not! Here is the link that has the clip from the show. I’m going to be making these FOR SURE to give as gifts! I may even pick up this woman’s book to see what other good ideas she has.
