Hello!

Good Evening folks!

Sorry that it has been 2 months since I have posted, but Tina and I have gone through some very hard challenges and issues. We both have now stopped drinking and Tina has gone through some amazing growth in her personal life. She truly is not the same person she was just a few months ago.

If I had not been promoted in April, I would be the next in line to be laid off at Harrah's Security! Times are VERY challenging for the Casino industry, and in the last 3 months we have cut over 20 security positions.

As of midnight tonight (1200am on Friday) we went to a 10 hour shift. I now work 4 10 hour shifts and have 3 days off. Since I was #9 out of 10 Supervisors, I got the Midnight to 10am shift with Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off. So I get off work at 10am tomorrow (Saturday) and do not have to be back to work until 1201 on Wednesday.

I built a frame to go over the window in the bedroom to keep the light out, and for the most part it works good. I just need to find a way to secure the bottom to the wall to keep the light out. I have 2 picture brakets on top holding the fram on top and weather stripping around the sides to keep the light out. One of the requirements I had was that it would be easy to take off and put back up for my days off. And except for holding it close to the wll at the bottom I have met all my goals for this project. It is light enough that Tina can take it off, but she is not tall enough to put it back up. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. Right now I have the cat tower leaning against it and stuffed with unused Tina clothes to help push it into the wall.

I have been in the Amway business since 1991, and have personally seem many people become VERY successful with this business. Over the last several months, I have felt God calling my heart to head this way again, so once I get caught up on my homework and adjusted to my new work schedule, I will be really working my Amway / Quixtar business. Since the products I sell are of a far better quality and cost less per each use (Amway products are concentrated) than the name brands I do not think that building a good base of customers will be too hard. And in today's economic climate, finding people who want to secure their families financial foundation should be even eaiser. If anyone is intrested to see the products that Amway sells (folks it ain't the same Amway you think you know!) go to www.quixtar.com, and if you see something let us know. Ordering on-line is very easy and the cost to become a customer is free. But you do have to sign up through me so that you are linked to my business. I do have a standing special and that is, your first order is at my cost (wholesale. This order would need to be placed through me so that I can adjustthe cost to you!).

The reason that I have not done much with the Amway business before was that there was never a pressing need for me too. But now with all the bills piling up and the risk of loosing my job everyday, I have found the motovation and drive I need to get out of the 'job' world.

Well time to start getting ready for work. It is not only a Friday night, but it is also MY Friday night!

Good night all
