St. Pat's

Top o' the day to yous!

Quick update:
-we had a pot luck o' the Irish lunch today at work. Steve and I made Colcannon soup - cabbage, leeks, onions, rendered bacon fat (yummmm), white wine, cream, chicken broth. It was a hit and we don't have any left to take home. Other folks made delicious soda bread, salads, and desserts.
-over the weekend we had a seven-minute thunder storm. Most of you are probably thinking, "whoop-de-doo" but here in SD, I think I've experienced about three cases of thunder. It's rare. It also happened at 4 in the morning Sunday. Both of the cats were scared and jumped up on the bed like little kids would do. We didn't sing "Some of My Favorite Things" a la Sound of Music, though. Earlier that night when we were still watching a movie, it even sleeted a little, but there was no thunder.
-Finally saw No Country for Old Men. What a movie.

The big news will be tomorrow. I am finally getting information/confirmation about my job status. The VP of Marketing is coming out from NY to give us all the news. Last Thursday, our children's editorial department found out their status. Tomorrow is marketing's turn, including Steve in Internet marketing. I don't really expect anything other than confirmation of what I already suspect - that I have my job until the office closes in June and then it's toodle-oo.

Hope everyone had a nice St. Patrick's Day.
