Well I am back to work and the kids are back in school after a well deserved holiday. We went to my sisters for dinner on Thanksgiving day and really enjoyed spending time with the family. Now I have to start really working on my Christmas shopping list. I don’t have much time left, plus this weekend we will put up the Christmas decorations and tree. I am going to be so busy over the next month, it is already making me tired just thinking about it. I love the holiday’s, but I can’t wait till they are over.
So much to do
There is always so much to do as the holidays begin to arrive. Starting with Halloween, there is decorations to go up and then back down. Toss some stuff out for Thanksgiving and bring it down as well. Then of course the major decorating for Christmas immediately following Thanksgiving. Lights to put up, picking the perfect tree and decorating it. This is a lot of work. In between each one, as you remove decoration, there is the cleaning process as well. By the time New Years gets here, I am usually exhausted. Then again, so is everyone else I know.
Housing
There are so many people having a hard time right now. The economy has made it difficult for many people to even afford to have a home. Low income housing can help families maintain their independence. I have a few family members who have recently needed to apply for this service. Losing your home can be devastating to everyone involved, especially for children. With low income housing, a family can feel safe and secure again.
No matter where you live, there is a program to help with housing. The minimum amount of income is generally around forty thousand a year, but can fluctuate depending on region. Low income housing can be found in every county, in every state. Finding the information for it is not difficult at all. The Housing Authority is where you go to apply and they will give you all of the information that you can possibly need. The application process is relatively simple as well. I urge anyone who is in need of housing, to go see them for the assistance they need.
Fall fashions
I have been looking at the newest fall/winter fashions for this year and I really like what I am seeing. It is so versatile compared to past years. Oh there are always some fashion houses that make a fair amount of clothing with versatility, but I have never liked a lot of their stuff. This year however, I am intrigued by a lot of what I have seen. I love scarves and the ones I am seeing are right up my ally. I think a shopping spree is in order.
Searching
Our business lawyers at work have decided to retire. They are a very old firm and all of the employees have been there forever. I was quite surprised to hear that they all decided to retire at the same time. Being a small town, it really shouldn’t have surprised me. However, I now have to find new business lawyers for my job. It really shouldn’t be too hard. The ones we have now, have recommended a few different firms to look into.
I am going to interview with them, because I really want to know that we can get along with whomever is going to be working so closely with us. Not all personalities get along after all. Other than that, we trust that the firms whom were recommended are good at their job. Business lawyers handle our expansions as we are a growing company and that growth has been very fast. I am sure that I will have this worked out by the end of the week, so that they can get up to speed on our company and it’s needs.
Baking
I am in a baking frenzy. I do not know why I have this need to bake all of a sudden, but I can’t seem to stop myself. I have made so much stuff recently, that my co workers are happy as clams. I end up taking much of it to work and setting it out in the break room. My friend Sally says I am trying to make her fat. I could only laugh at that. Maybe it is the holidays coming up that has me in this baking frenzy. I will probably be all baked out by December.
