and there was much REJOICING

My sister got married this weekend, and we managed to get through it without killing each other. Odd sounding victory, but a big one said most of my family. Huzzah, and she was so cute in her dress I am very happy for her.

Finally everything is taken car of with the car and we are mobile! Not to get back to "normal" after 18 months of no car. It's little things like being able to buy stuff to big to carry home or just stop somewhere you're passing.

Congrats on the job! These days every job has crap pay.

And not every one has health insurance ... congrats on getting that too!

My daughter has been interested in doing "extra" work in the movie and TV business (metro Atlanta is the Hollywood of the South) and just submitted her first casting call email!! There's no guarantee she'll get called, but being homeschooled and available makes her very accessible. She would miss 2 days of co-op classes, but considering it was one of her teachers (who is a friend and does extra work herself - she was in "42") who forwarded the casting call info, I don't think it will be a problem.

Good wishes that she gets the job would be appreciated! We are both nervous! LOL

Good luck! I used to do that and homeschooling does help. It's a lot of long boring hours of doing nothing, nothing, and nothing. Most of my work came because I was over 18 but looked a lot younger.

Congrats! I get great pay but no insurance since I'm only part time, but having a job is a good feeling. Maybe it will lead to a better job with better pay for you.
