Thank you, Leyla and 100%.

Good morning and a very happy Caturday to everyone. It is finally raining here. Plans have been squashed as a result, so it looks like another boring Saturday stuck at home. Well, there is always the dreaded laundry.

By the way... I thought I would update for those interested

So my husband and I moved from Columbus, OH to Delaware OH in April. Things were great for a while. We both had jobs and were able to pay bills. Everything was great until.....

I worked in a restaurant owned by a family. It wasn't properly run and the owners/managers frequented in gossip about and with the employees. Needless to say... I was fired/quit. She wouldn't say "Fired" but when I told her I didn't quit she said "Oh yes you did." I was never given a reason as to why any of this went down. However, because of the situation I was unable to collect unemployment because she didn't officially fire me. Thankfully I got a job very quickly at the local meijer working in the Deli.

Then, my husband got fired from his job. The reason? He asked if he could go home to change his shoe (because his toenail was falling off). The guy he was working with said: SURE! 15 minutes later my husband was back and the next day he fired my husband. So my husband and I decided to do something sort of drastic. His brother-in-law mentioned some great opportunities for making money in New Orleans (where he lives). We decided to send Tarik to New Orleans for this job offer. We planned that he would stay there for at least a year. When he got to New Orleans he found out that there really was no job. His brother-in-law had lied. We decided then that it would be better if he came home. So he did. But not before causing a stir with his brother-in-law and sister (who is visiting in Morocco). They refused to pay us back for the tickets (which we could barely afford to begin with) and now everyone is on no speaking terms. It got pretty dramatic.

When Tarik came back we found out from my mother that our downtown area is actively seeking businesses to fill in the downtown area. So since this news we've been working on a business plan that we hope to get a loan for in the near future. INSHAALLAH!!! So now, we're just working (Tarik got one of his old jobs back even though it's an hour away...) until we get our business plan approved and then we will open our business.

So yeah...... Oh... did I mention that I cut off a fourth of the tip of my finger on the cheese slicer at work? lol Cause I did. So I haven't been working for a whole week

Anyway.... I thought I'd just let you know generally what's been going on.

good morning to all of the above! Yes indeed Nagi, it sure is raining, according to Fox 2 News, it's suppose to be an all day rain but on accuweather it appears that it won't, who should we believe????

Leyla, whoa...alot of drama there, sounds like you have it all worked out, good luck to you both!

Hopefully, we can finish the rest of the lanscaping today if it stops raining.

Have a great Saturday/Caturday!

Happy Caturday morning MENA

Had big plans for a family picnic today but unfortunately its been shot all the hell (can i say that word here?) due to family drama. I dont know what happened, hubby came here & now were alienated - no rhyme or reason. Anyone experience this? Its completely unexpected and out of the blue.

Leyla - goodness gurl so sorry to hear all the bad news, sounds horrible but despite it all you sound really optimistic for a brighter future & thats whats gonna keep you strong. Wish you all the luck you both can handle.

Maureen - garden/yard sounds promising - happy planting!

Have a nice day everyone
