• This blog is about to get all Halloweeny because, well, I love me some Halloween.  I saw this image from Roger's Nursery in Corona del Mar (which YOU HAVE TO GO SEE IN PERSON) and had one of those "oh hey – I could do that" type of reactions.  So I spent my first semi-unemployed week gathering materials.  Stay tuned…
• I mean just look at all this Halloween inspiration
• This may be off topic for this blog but I thought it was interesting.  Why Women Volunteer for Tasks That Don't Lead to Promotions.  I found it completely true and something I do all the time.  Ever the people pleaser….
• Well this could be interesting.  The Romanoffs.  Lots of great actors if nothing else.  

As of today I am officially unemployed.  I grieved this week – mainly the people I work with and interact with on a daily basis.  But I have a big lunch planned for Monday with all those same people along with a happy hour get together with the larger organization so that helps.  I'm being pragmatic in that I know that some work friendships are superficial but I do hope that a few people I really connected with stay lifelong friends.  

I do hope you have a splendid weekend planned.  My mother in law is coming to stay for the weekend and I have plans with my cousin on Sunday so I'll stay busy.  For now – I'm off to buy the winning lottery ticket.
