Today has been peppered with good and bad news so far. I spoke to a good friend of mine and while I was so glad to chat with her, I won't be able to join her for a "girl's weekend" in Seattle next week. I had to decline because of a prior commitment and the fact that I will most likely be worn out from Easter and blue week. Her son is going to be losing his job because a company that has been in business almost 60 years went belly up this past week. She said that she and her husband have been keeping an eye out for jobs and some jobs are being canceled and postponed. Not hired out, mind you, but management got together and decided to hold off hiring until 2010 if not indefinitely. Things are tough right now all over. People with jobs (and really good ones at that) are strengthening up their networks so they can have that backup plan ready should the axe fall.
On the good side, the kids and I (except for Al - he's too big and cool for that sort of thing) will be out Easter egg hunting, which is always fun with little kids.
