And Well! Got myself a new job, and there is nothing like being able to say “I don’t care” to yourself when corporate hands down another lame-o decision that you don’t have to worry about! Plus since I put in my notice everyone has been coming up to me and saying nice things. Work is still difficult but I know it’s almost over, and I’m taking a week off between this job and the next . . . during which time I will do lots of blog updating. Right now I’m overwhelmed trying to close out here, so I’d better get back to it. But soon I will give details of Joe’s funeral (which was more fun than a funeral should be! thanks Joe, good planning!), details of the new job, details of the hijinks of the much beloved (maligned, actually, as of late) kittenista, a seriously life threatening bout of sour grapes (I’m still in the middle of it), a new addiction, a new inspiration, and what I will call “the pinata incident.”
I will be back!
Ooooh! I can\’t wait to hear all about it! Now you\’ve got me all intrigued and on the edge of my seat. Your stories are always so much better than mine!
With bated breath,
Amanda 🙂
a new addition???? something you haven\’t been telling me?
Strike that, would be good if i could read. addITIon and addICTIon are two different words. (and i didn\’t need a masters degree to figure that out!)
You\’re too sweet, girl. Thanks for the nice words about my friends and about me. How lovely.
A word about Joe\’s funeral. I sincerely hope that mine is fun and full of laughter and if the people in my life can\’t laugh at me in death as they did in life then they really didn\’t know me at all.
I\’m so glad to hear that you got out of that job. I have thought about doing the same thing. I\’m really torn because I am able to work only the hours that my kids are in school and for the first time they are not in daycare. They love it. So do I cut into their happiness to satisfy my own, is the question I keep asking myself. If I could just win the powerball. hehe
I am looking forward to you catching us all up on what\’s going on. What the new job is, the new addiction, the funeral and the rest of it.
Hope things are going well and that you are having a wonderful day!
Good, we will be waiting for the update.
Ditto on Mocha\’s comment. My father-in-law\’s funeral had a Dixie Land Jazz Band, it was very fitting and uplifting way to end a sad moment like that! I would like mine to be fun. Maybe it should be a roast!

Back again. Did I comment on your wonderful Chicago pictures? It made me a little homesick. Nicely done.
You must be quite the busy bee! Hope all is well! Can\’t wait to hear more about your new and exciting life changes!
Amanda 🙂
