Amazing how quick a year can go!!!  I've been at my job a full year.  I've had a great time! On vacation hubby and I went to Germany for a wedding.... we visited Rothenburg Crailsheim I went on a business trip to....SQUEEEEEE!!!!  London during the Queen's Jubilee  St. Paul's Cathedral from the Millennium bridge The London Eye Am now planning to go back to London for a break with hubby towards the end of the year. Totally exciting year!! Hugs! Marie

Woohoo...I've found a new home...I now work for a Japanese Bank in the city. I am very happy...my co-workers are great. I started the 5th of July. The work is interesting. I haven't worked for a bank in a while many things have changed. I'll post more later...for now enjoy your day! Thank you all for your support! Marie

So the job hunt continues...I have sent out 100s of resumes to the black hole that is the Internet . So far not a single nibble. I went to a couple of agencies - one raised my hopes (I should have known better) they had the 'perfect' spot for me. It sounded fantastic a well known hotel in times square - newly renovated a Tech Service manager...woohoo...nothing not a call back and no answer to any emails/calls. harrumph ... At the suggestion of the mgmt . consulting place I've redone my linkedIn summary and my resume. I've gotten a few emails and calls from agencies, but nothing has come through. So where do I go from here? Do I retrain? ugh...I know how to do tech support and how to be an assistant. Which way do I go now? I make lists of my strengths to see if anything jumps out...lists of what I like to do...I cross reference them to see if there is a job profile hidden in there and so far nothing jumps out. I'll keep searching..if anyone has suggestions send them

all... Here is a basket full of color! These are going to turn into a granny square blanket...that is what is in my mind at the moment...I am not super crazy about having to hide 50 million ends..so we'll see what happens. a sample of the motifs I may use for the new blanket.. I can't stray too far from my normal black and white work so here is a quick peek at a project that I've been working on for the past year or so. These are going to turn into a series of 4 art quilts. These are all from my fave park on the island, Snug Harbor. If you are in the NY area and have the opportunity to visit you should! I love the neptune fountain. I saw the Neptune fountain in Madrid and I have to say that it can't hold a candle to the one here. I printed these on fabric. It should turn out pretty cool...am looking forward to starting these. Am about 2/3rds of the way through a new wrap. I like the flecks of color in the brown. It is very cozy. Still submitting resumes...no luck as

Hi all... couldn't resist posting at least one picture...I thought I'd post my favorite from Madrid...it was after a rain storm...we stuck it out in the market just outside plaza mayor. we came out and looked toward the plaza del sol and saw this rainbow! I feel like this...like I am in a storm and soon a rainbow will appear and everything will be ok. But anyway...enough of that!! I haven't fallen off the map..I've been teaching myself html/css...woohoo...let's see what kind of mischief I can get into!! Other than that I am working on the garden. Am planning on growing more vegetables this year...am assuming that I won't be employed anytime soon. I am sending out resumes, but am not having any luck. I miss the old days...You'd call up your fave employment agency, they'd have you come in and within a week or two you had a job. It was so much more personal. Now you are sending out resumes and you've no idea who is reading them. You don't hear bac

Turkeys on Staten Island... Yep you are seeing turkeys...little Mimi was thrilled! Meema we can start our own farm!! Momma look...Turkeys! Can we keep 'em?? Now I've seen everything! Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Marie
