Work has been like Groundhog day every day. The market goes nutty, we run in circles, lather, rinse, repeat. We had a nationwide meeting by teleconference so we had all the managers from my site in a conference room and we were all peeking at our Blackberrys and watching the market go down -- minus 350, minus 500, up to minus 200....it was crazy. I heard today that in October, 1987 the market went down 40+%, so i know this is survivable, but I am really ready to hitbottom, you know?
In other news....
Yesterday I met up with 6 other girls from Meetup and we piled into a minivan and checked out 3 scrapbook stores - 2 in Winston-Salem and one in Greensboro. It was a really fun trip - got to see the variety of stores (and it was nice to be in a non-chain scrapbook store again!) and found some cute stuff to start my Jamaica mini-album. I had a mental budget of $100 and didn't go too far over that. :) We had a yummy lunch at Cracker Barrel too. Fun day!
I made a run to the grocery store last night and talked to my parents and Uncle Bob on the way there. I had to let them know our trip to TX had been cancelled, and found out that my mother is a Texas fan (this is Texas/OU weekend at home) - what is up with that? I had to remind her that her daughter and her money went to A&M so she should not be rooting for Texas!!
I cleaned the house and started on laundry today. Eric and I just got in from a BJs run - we got a ton of meat that should keep us rolling for a few months. We're heading over to Ed & Kristen's in a little while, too.
Happy weekend!
