This is my friend Stephanie the one Im moving in with.

hey all!

So Im moving in about two weeks!! March 1st I move in with a good old friend of mine. We are so excited! Its a lil house, two flrs, three bedrms, two 1/2 bath, two car garage. Its Great! rent is high but Pop is going to help me out a little, THANK GOD, until I get a another job in addition to current one or another new better paying one.

I am still working at S.A.Y San Diego as a Supervisor but Im at a new site down in Pacific Beach. I love that I have a daily excuse to go to the beach. The school I work at is like three blocks down from the shore. I would love to stay working there but I am currently looking for a new job in office work. Not having much luck though. I do have an interview with the YMCA for a Coordinator 1 position though. It sounds pretty good its a step up the ladder as far as child care goes. We will see what happens with that.

I am seeing someone, and although I had a girls night out this Valentines, he ended up showing up with a roses. Pretty good move. We will see what happens with that too. ;)

Love you all, miss you all TTFN

FYI:"Satisfied Staying Single Day, Feb 11!!

Really!
I guess we singles should send "We're fine" cards out to our friends.
We should buy ourselves flowers or wine, or a gorgeous heart-shaped box of chocolates.

THAT really is my weak point.

I LOVE the most lavishly, or stylishly or cleverly decorated heart shaped box. I couldn't care less about the candy.
Any treat to myself will do. I could give the candy away and put soft sox, or a CD, or a tiny perfume in the box.
(I don't know if I'm going to really go there, but I do like the decorative part of Valentine's Day.)

I think it harks back to when I was "bulletin board girl" in school. The Nuns were fine letting me "do" the bulletin board for each month or semester or holiday. I'd stay after school designing and cutting out letters after creating the message for the theme. Then I'd try anything... I even got into 3-D kindof construction paper "pop-outs" stapled to the board.

But my best memory of decorating for Valentine's Day was the day I decided, as a mother of maybe.. the kids were 8 or 9...in San Diego, that I needed some cheering up and I was going to spend the afternoon making valentines for the family out of every piece of lace or glitter or shiny paper or doilies that I could rustle out of all my wrapping and ribbon and sewing scraps. I used construction paper, or paper plates, or anything I could think of really, I just remember that being a very enjoyable day.
When the kids came home, they joined in doing their own.

Took all afternoon. We'd stop and have a snack and then go back to the table and design and cut and paste.
Cheap fun!
They were also verrrrry...ahem...creative.
I loved 'em. Jeremy's was black and gold. Sara's silvers, lavenders, and pinks. Martin's was all the reds and whites.

See, I just may have to make one soon...
And it will be a loving little treat to myself.

So, Happy "Satified Staying Single Day" !

Go make a card to your self!

Latest on Mom's Transfer

As you all know, Mom has been waiting to get into St. Joe's and we had been told she was next on list. (that was in October), we checked in a few times & then it was suggested we back down. So after the holidays, we checked again & lo & behold, the Admissions Person is long gone & we are back to square one. So today, Peg & I had an appt. this morning & met with the Social Worker & new Admissions Person and gave them our tale of woe. I think it was a positive meeting, although they would not commit to anything. The good thing was that the new admissions director is the same gal that gave us (Mom, Kate, Peg & I), the tour last fall and she remembered us & remembered that we had another sister also (Kate, who couldn't make this meeting), so hopefully they will keep us in mind (upfront) for the next opening.

So that's the latest for now, and we'll update if anything changes! Send out Good Intentions!!!
