Well, I sorta forgot about posting some links to good blogs this week, so I’ll do it today. But first, I want to share a few things that happened here over the past few days:
– I had my annual review at work, even though I’ve only been there 7 months. It went really well, and I got some great feedback. I also got a spa gift card, and the promise of a raise, so I couldn’t be happier.
– Brian got another job! He has been looking for something for almost 2 months now, and while this new job is still part-time, there is great potential for future management and full-time employment with the company. He’ll keep his job at the mall for now, and might even keep it after he goes full-time. For now, though, we are so thankful for this opportunity.
-There are fires raging all around Southern California right now, but so far, we have been blessed that they have stayed away from us. Last night, we could see some small fires on a mountain to our east, but they have remained there. Just in case, though, we do have some stuff packed, and we have friends (my boss) who have offered to let us go with them to Bakersfield if we get evacuated.
– Finally, we got a phone call yesterday from some friends of ours who have invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. We are very excited to have somewhere to go, where we can be in the company of friends, and where the kids will also be in the company of friends. And I am thankful that I don’t have to cook a turkey!
Now, on to some links:
