Hi Karen,

Thanks for the encouragement about the call and it's still all good...except for my job...possibly
I don't want to get into too much detail but I believe I've mentioned in the past that there are several owners. Well, they are being wooed by potential buyer that shares the building with us and would be in competition and in what could be a hostile takeover. The owners are all in agreement not to sell but the PB will try to cause derision among the owners and "buy" one of them in hopes the others will follow suit. Anyway, the company wants to cut the cord and move to our own building so as not to be influenced by PB due to proximity and because of confidentiality.

To make this short story longer, in a very short time, I may be forced to decide between moving house, moving jobs, or a ridiculously long commute that wouldn't be cost effective and that would seriously mar my quality of life. I will not lose my job, however. This is just based on the locations they are currently looking at. I don't like any of these choices.

Now to the alcohol references. I like tequila but have not done a serious shot since my twenties, with XH no less. I do like strawberry margaritas immensely.

Ovaltine sounds good! I am a chocolate malt fan also and people have been known to turn up their noses when I order one at DQ as opposed to a chocolate shake. Who am I kidding...if it's chocolate, I'll like it!

This weekend I plan to do the stuff I havent been doing the last couple of weekends that I've been having WAY too much fun. Decorating for Christmas, wrapping, cards, cleaning and shopping for the meal with my bro. Stuff like that.

Hugs, GG
