Life Isn't Fair

I've told my kids since the day they were born that "life isn't fair". It's been our family motto for years. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine found out yesterday that life isn't fair. Her position at the Eagle has been eliminated and she will be looking for a new job. I've been at the same company for 31+ years, and I've lived through layoffs before - let's face it folks - these are LAYOFFS! I think the business world is way too scary now. Gas at $3.50/gallon (and rising). Milk at $4/gallon. It goes on and on. The cost of living continues to go up, our salaries don't - and we are eliminating positions AND outsourcing to other countries. I am so NOT a GWB fan. He's done nothing to stop the flood from drowning hard-working Americans. Something HAS to be done. People - you HAVE to vote come November! Anybody has to be better than what we have now!

And C - our hearts go out to you! You know who your friends are. We're here for you! And at the end of this road, you will be an even stronger person than you are now (if that's possible!) Love ya!

i agree it is getting harder and harder. expenses are going up and salaries are going down. it's not easy! I hate to hear about the layoffs - I hadn't heard that yet but am picking it up now on the blogs. Not sure who they are but so so sorry.

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
