It's been a while...

...but sometimes life just gets away from you. Also, I wasn't getting any response from readers, so I figured no one was reading it anyway.

Life's been pretty rocky at work lately. With all the budget concerns at NASA, several of my friends have been laid off. It's very hard to be happy about still having a job when my co-workers are being shown the door. The thing that gets me is that it only seems like the research centers that are being hit really bad. Johnson and Kennedy are doing fine because they keep getting all the work. It's very frustrating because it seems that they don't care that the rest of us are sinking. HQ keeps going on and on about ONE NASA, but they don't seem to really mean it. It's every center for itself. Well, it has been anyway. Maybe the new administrator will see the value of the research centers and realize that we are a vital part of the whole. Enough venting...

Home life is going well. I still love being married, even if Shawn drives me nuts sometimes. It's so nice to have someone to hold onto when everything else is going to crap. I am so glad Christina has found her soulmate. Joe is a great guy and I am very happy that they are getting married. I know they'll be great together.

Shawn wants us to start looking for a house. I am supposed to call Uncle Frank to get the ball rolling but I am scared. Owning a house is alot of responsibility. I like that we don't have to worry about a lawn or property taxes or all the other little things that can plague homeowners. I would like more room, but we've been doing okay so far. I'll try to get up the nerve to call Frank soon, I promise. Maybe when I stop shaking.

Well, it looks like it's going to be a nice long weekend at home. Shawn & I are going to be going to the Pascoe Fiesta on Saturday. Besides that, I think we're just going to the movies. I am hoping to get some sewing and cross-stitching done as well. I need to finish a couple of projects some that I can get back to my scrapbooking. Ever feel like you have too many things on your plate?

15 Days, 10 Hours, 30 Minutes to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince...Yeahhh!!!
