There is a new meme called Food Quotes that I have been participating in and having lots of fun with. All you have to do is match a food related quote with a photo and post it on your blog every Wednesday. Actually, the posting date is flexible. It doesn’t have to be posted exactly on Wednesdays, but the host posts hers on Wednesdays and you have until the following Wednesday to add your link to her widget. If you’d like to join in the fun, visit The Healthy Lifestyle blog for directions.

The photos above are the first three I did using Photobucket’s poster application. Just click on the links to see the bigger version and visit my food blog.

There’s a meme going on in Facebook where you update your status everyday, from now until Thanksgiving with one thing that you are thankful for. I’ll try to do that here too although I’m not going to promise posting everyday. My nablopomo days are over so I won’t make any promises I can’t keep.

Today I was thankful that I have a job. That is especially relevant since yesterday was the second round of lay offs at my job and I just lost some very good friends. My department was stripped down to half and I am one of the lucky who avoided being cut.

Although, the more I think about it, I don’t know that lucky is the right word for my situation right now. I may end up doing double and triple duties in the coming months, but today, I am thankful that I still have a job.

I will miss some awesome ladies, colleagues who have been like family these past eight years since I started working here. I will miss them. A LOT!
