Another Year gone
12:17AM on January 14, 2009
Welcome 2009....
I was just sitting here thinking of the past year. It was a very tough one for me. Between the death of my Mother and Aunt, my job being cut from the budget, and finding out my girlfriend was cheating on me, I needed some good news.
Well I got it on December 9th. My oldest brothers daughter had her third child. He is a cutie. The best part is her husband was there for the birth. He is in the Army and was deployed when she had the first two children. Now that he is a month old he must say goodbye to his father. He is being sent to Germany for more training and will be gone for six months to a year. My niece decided to stay here in Texas since the children are established here. The oldest is in pre-school and loves the fact that Grandpa comes to visit him every few weeks.
I am moving on with my life as well. I have applied for another position, within our company, and hope to hear back soon on it. It will mean a bit of a raise and better potential advancement than working in the stores. If that falls through, I have been approached by others for advancement to a new managment position in the stores.
I have also started going into my "mid-life crissis" ... lol I am seriously thinking of buying my first Harley. Either of the new jobs will mean I have to commute and the fuel savings will justify the cost of the motorcycle...he he he Plus, bikes are chick magnets and I already look like a biker....lol
I will be on vacation next week and will be going to the local Harley dealer to check things out. Did I mention the 22nd is my Birthday? I will be 44 years old.
Damn, when I was a teenager, I always though that 30 was old. Now I see it is just another number in a collection of what if's....
Here's to a bright New Year and may it be a happy , joyful, time in all our lives....
