Happy Little Kitty

Today the temperature got into the 70's! It was absolutely gorgeous out. I was fortunate enough to help walk dogs today, so I got to be outside for part of the day. Jason had today off and spent the afternoon tilling the garden. He opened the widows in the house and Zara was soooo happy!! She didn't even sleep into the closet today. She's been busy running from window to window and watching outside. She's been running all over the house as well. She can't seem to sit still. I do love having the windows open. It smells like spring in the house now. Now, if we could only remember to get a new tank of gas for the grill!

Bundles of Cute!

We visited Jason's family this weekend and was able to see our nephew, Ethan, and our new niece, Audrey. Ethan is just so full of energy! He had Jason and me chasing him around the new house. He showed us his toys and we watched part of "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Jason and I definitely got our exercise today!

We both got to hold Audrey. She was really good and slept most of the time. Jason got to hold her while she was awake and she made faces at him. Of course he made faces back.

We also got to see all of Jason's grandparents too. It was good to see everyone and we feel bad we couldn't stay longer. We'll definitely be back for the baptism, whenever Jennifer and Mike decide when to have it.

Meeting

So I had my meeting with human resources today. I have been offered a position with food service. It is a 40 hour a week, 9 months a year position. I haven't had a chance to talk to the supervisor of Maple, (that's right, across the street from the food service I used to work at) so I don't know when for sure the 9 months is. I assume that it goes from mid-August to mid-May. They don't know when I'll be moved, but they were hoping sometime within the next two months. There are some other questions I have to talk about, but I did ask the human resources and union rep about taking a temporary job in racing chemistry during the summer since they hire people for their busy season. They said it could be arranged, as long as my new supervisor will allow it. I do get to keep my health insurance during the three months I'm off, so that was some good news. I will be able to transfer to a lab tech I position or apply for other posted positions, so I'm not without options.

Yes, I have started another blog. I have chosen to monetize it to try to bring in a little extra money. There is a link to the new blog on the side. This blog is not linked to the other one, the biggest reason being that I will not be putting pictures of family on the other site, but will continue to do so on this one. I haven't been putting labels on these posts because it makes it harder for people to find them. I don't want to jeopardize any one I love because some weirdo saw your picture on my blog. I don't plan on making this blog invitation only, but will if it comes to it. Besides, there are lots of pictures to share with friends and family! The best way to do it put 'em on the blog!
