Days of rest

We have finally been given some days of rest. I am so exhausted from our non-stop days that I don't want to do ANYTHING! We don't have any more shops until Monday. On Monday, LeCount has one shop, and then, that is all that is scheduled until 1/24/08. Of course, I will be checking all of our usual mystery shopping web-sites to see if any assignments come in, and I will sign up for them as I see them.

This next week, we will be dedicating a lot of time to get ready for Morgan's 1st birthday party!! We are doing an Elmo theme, since she fell in love with the "Up, Up Elmo" that she got for Christmas. We are only providing snacks this year- not the all out food feast like usual. It will be a veggie plate and probably the 7 layer dip with tortilla chips... and of course, so cake.

Also, for anyone who is interested, I am starting up a Kids Care Club chapter called "Kids can change the world". We will meet 1 to 3 times a month. It is for kids 3 to 10 years old. Here is the fact sheet: http://www.kidscare.org/files/KCC-Facts-Figures.pdf It teaches kids about charity and volunteering. They do service projects to help the community (i.e. draw pictures for sick kids in the hospital, read to younger children in need such as in the hospital, putting together school supply kits for kids that can't afford them, etc.) I am still waiting on my information to come in the mail, but I am going to try to find a place in McKinney to meet. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please forward this on to them. It doesn't cost anything but time. I would like to get a group of about 10 kids, but if there are more, that would be even better.

I went to my job interview on Thursday, and everything went well. Now it is just a waiting game. They told me that if I haven't heard anything by 2 weeks, to give HR a call. It is for a part-time job with the City of McKinney at the public library. They want someone who is bilingual because they have an ESL group that comes in on Wednesday nights, so I do have something going for me above other applicants who can not speak Spanish. I will keep everyone posted.
