What happened to February?

The month is slipping by fast. The weather is getting a bit milder, so I feel more upbeat about that. It was a downer feeling so cold and the dark nights are moving further back.

I heard this news story about the final bag of Woolworth's Pick & Mix sweets being sold through e-Bay for charity. Great idea but shame about Woolies closing, I just thought that store had so many retail outlets that its presence on the high street was rock solid. Just goes to show that you can't take anything for granted.

Last week I had some time off from work and it was great, it's just such a pity that I had to return to work. It was nice not to have to do anything but spend time with the kids. We had great fun unlocking extra tracks and karts on Mario Kart Wii. We did buy a camcorder, so I hope to put up some videos at some point - when I've worked out how to do it and what to record.

We went out last night for our last Chinese meal for hopefully a while (need to lose a few pounds again). We also played a game of ten pin bowling with friends and their kids. It was a pleasant night out but I didn't sleep very well - I think it was the feeling of returning to work and the food lodged in my belly.

In other news, I've started looking out for a new job. Not sure what I want to do yet but I'm scanning regularly.

Now you have me hungry for Chinese. Good stuff.

February seems to be creeping by for me, actually. Weird since it's a shorter month.

I'm starting to think that I need to start job searching..see what I can find out there, because it's getting more and more difficult for me to want to go into work after a weekend or a vacation.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time off from work and had fun with your family. We'll be looking forward to videos!

Best of luck on the job search. I guess it isn't necessarily the best time to be job hunting, but it is always easier to get a job when you already have a job...if that makes sense.

Tara: It doesn't hurt anyone to look at what's out there...

L.B.: Yeah, I'm not in a rush to get away so I can take my time.
