Weekend

Happy weekend everybody! Clearly, I am not doing so well in the blogging department this new year. Everything is good here, though. We've got a 3 day break, it's sunny albeit chilly, and that winter storm missed us all together, which made me very happy. We had some drizzle but no snow or ice. Work is still a bit of a struggle, but I made it through a full week. That's something of an accomplishment.

The kids are all doing well, too. Stephen started his program this week...both work and classes.
Hannia has started teaching part-time, French and Spanish at a private school. She is still doing her regular job, too, so both she and Stephen are really busy. Also? She loves it! I think that is fantastic! Erica is also going to be teaching 1 class a week at her university. That starts next week, so no idea how she is going to like it. But she seems to be looking forward to trying something new. And...she is thinking about moving in with her friend Amy in February. Apparently, the UK is an expensive place to live and having a roommate will be helpful. Erica is feeling a little apprehensive since she likes living alone, but it sounds like she is going to give this a try. I hope it works out for her. Amy is from New Zealand, and works in the same department with Erica.

Anyway, we are all off to a good start for 2013. Bruce and I have made progress cleaning and organizing. There is still more to do, always. But I'm happy with what we have gotten done.
We just got back from having dinner with Stephen and Hannia....Outback. Not overly fancy or exotic, but Stephen said earlier this week that he had a mad craving for a blooming onion which made us all want one. LOL! It was good, too. Not cooking was maybe even better.
