Good news All Around Today

My weekend was very good. We went to the BBQ/Party. It was a lot of fun. I saw friends I have not seen in many many years. Drank some beer and wine, ate ourselves silly and then laughed at the bonfire. My friends new baby is so cute! He has beautiful big blue eyes and just smiles away. I am very happy that things are going well for her. She had a tough time at the beginning. He was born 2 months early and she got VERY sick afterwards. Well actually before she had preecclampsia and they delivered because her kidneys were shutting down. It took her a while to recover but she is doing well now.

I had bought these cute new sandals but they definitely were not made for standing around and playing horse shoes. I was so sore yesterday it was crazy!

I got good news today. Friday I was suppose to get my last check from work and for some reason it did not get deposited. I called them and after research they said that for some reason my check was negative. UH What? They said they would try to get me a check as soon as possible. I was worried this weekend that they would try to screw me out of my final paycheck and then I would have to fight and I really just want to be done with them. Well they called me this morning and said I should have my check tomorrow...PHEW!

Also, I got an email from Sunny at Sunny in Seattle saying that I had won I contest I did not even know I was in. Gotta love that! She had entered her self and nominated me over at A Sense of Humor is Essential and we both won. Thank you so much Sunny. It definitely brought a smile to my face at a much needed time. You are the best! Also Thank you to Martha for running the Pay - It - Forward contest. I love contests!

Life happening

Whats happening in life today?...Just spending time looking for a job. I went down to the unemployment office today which was surprisingly empty and registered my resume. The employees that work there are very angry and bitter. Why I ask...you are the ones with jobs. Also the state of Michigan is offering 10000.00 over 2 years to go to school and get an education if you are unemployed or making less than 40000.00 a year. So I signed up for the orientation. If they are going to give me money I am all for it! Maybe this job loss thing is a blessing in disguise.

Tomorrow I am going out to my friends house they are having a huge party as a combo celebration for her wedding, their new baby and their mom's 60th. It is suppose to be huge along with an all day celebration capped with camping in there back yard which is several acres, having a bonfire and just enjoying life. I am very much looking forward to it if you can't tell.

My doggie Katie Jo had a really bad seizure tonight. I wasn't sure if she was ever going to come out of it. Once she did though it was like nothing happened. She got up shook her self off and was running around, which she never does, like she was a puppy. It was like she was saying YAY I"M ALIVE>>>YOU DIDN'T GET ME YET. If only us humans could have such a good attitude when bad things happen. So hubby gave her bath since she drooled and went to the bathroom all over herself and we are giving her some extra lovins tonight.

Thank you all for you kind a supportive comments on my last post. I can not tell you how much those lift me up every day. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

PS B!g Bro.ther 11 started last night and I am in summer time heaven!
