http://cheekysuze.today.com everything is gonna be okay.... Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:31:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Hi all! I just wanted to thank those of you who are clicking, even though I haven't written anything in awhile. I really appreciate it, and hope to be back writing soon. Life has kindof gotten in the way a little, as it often does, but hopefully these pages will be ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/10/16/thank-you/ Well, I did it. I quit my job. And I have to say I feel quite good about it. I don't want to dissuade anyone who might want to do this line of work--but it was becoming painfully obvious that my income was far less than my outgo. To put ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/09/01/well-i-did-it/ It's always tough to find a good babysitter. Face it, babysitting isn't the most lucrative job around. Most people who want to do it are younger than I would prefer, and the people who are generally old enough have a busy social calendar, so it's hard to get someone to ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/08/25/playmates/ Last weekend we went to the Build a Bear store. I'd never been inside of one, though I passed it by many times. It always looked kindof fun, but also like a money trap, I have to admit. However, this time it was a necessity. Sweets is going to be ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/08/21/inside-build-a-bear/ I've gotten into a kind of groove with work. So far, I am enjoying it. I've been given a few additional projects, and my supervisors so far have said good things about my work. That's quite a warm fuzzy. I've even managed to head next door and visit with some ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/08/18/workin-9-5/ A few weeks ago, we were on the way to the beach and we stopped at a McDonalds for dinner. Usually, we use this as a pitt stop as well, but I couldn't convince Sweets to use the restrooms. She is scared of the automatic flushers on the toilets. Frankly, ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/08/15/electric-toilet-flushers-are-the-devil/ Hello all, I guess you've noticed I haven't posted in awhile. I've been doing a little freelance writing and, sadly, Cheekysuze has fallen by the wayside. I'm really enjoying it, though I am having trouble finding large blocks of time to devote to it. With two kids, you say? That's ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/07/24/going-stir-crazy/ Day 1 of work is under my belt. It went very quickly, actually. I had 4 hours, including driving time, to get everything done. By the time I got situated, I had 2 hours left to actually work. No sweat! I was so nervous the night before I went in. I ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/07/10/my-first-day-of-work-in-5-years/ It's been almost 5 years since I left the work force. I was lucky enough to be able to quit and stay home when I had my children. To be honest, I wasn't exactly heartbroken about leaving my job. I was unhappy being the low guy on the totem pole. ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/07/08/back-to-work-after-all-these-years/ How was everyone's 4th? I'm a little sad that we weren't able to be with our family this year, like we usually are, but after our trip last weekend we decided to take a Stay-cation instead of heading to the beach. It was our first free weekend in quite a while, ... http://cheekysuze.today.com/2009/07/06/happy-4th-of-july/
