I dont' know if many of you even noticed, but I've been rather obscure lately. However, I guess I should come out, since many of you have been sending out prayers and white light and such.
I wrote this out, and then went back and read it and it really sounds pretty pompous and braggy, but please, I really do just want to share with all my buds out here in WC land how well things are going right now, instead of doing my usual whining.
DH finally got a job! :clap: After 18months of unemployment, he's got a 6 month full time position. It's better than what we've had, and hopefully other opportunities will arise from it.
My students at school have been doing super! Two received honkin' scholarships to Kendall (one full ride and the other a fat sum). Another received 3rd place in 3-D in a juried High School Show, another received honorable mention and several others had their work juried into the show. The paper also came and did an interview with them today, so they will receive their 15 minutes of fame! I'm so proud of them. He said he'd like to do a feature on me with my lampworking sometime soon too.
The local TV station came and did a piece on the lampworking class I'm teaching for the YMCA and it will be aired tonight on the evening news.
I was accepted into Who's Who of American Women, 24th edition, 2004. (Who the heck nominated me anyway?) Not sure I deserve that one, but it's a done deal nonetheless.
Also accepted into 3 shows so far for this summer, and waiting on two more.
And, even though it's Robin, I've got a bid on one of my e-bay auctions.
As the saying goes, when it rains it pours! Now I just wonder, what's going to happen next? Those are the things, and feelings that keep me in hiding.
Thanks for letting me boast a little. (It won't happen often........just because my life doesn't go this well all the time)
Hugs,
Chris
