Keeping busy

I just got off the phone with Pat and have promised to bring her tons of old Harlequin Romance books I have on my shelves. (I remember the time they hooked me into buying four books a month with their offer of a watch a necklace and four free books....! :-)

[And here's every storyline: boy and girl meet, fall in love and are happy, something happens and they break up, and later they get back together. The End.]

We have a new couch thanks to Margie and Mike, and it is just great and so comfy! Transporting it and getting it in the house wasn't quite as hard a task as anticipated, so that was a good thing, too.

I am still working a lot of hours at H&R Block but have been able to squeeze in some time for visiting friends, taking the SHIP class (a volunteer program under the auspices of RSVP of Burlington County), meeting with the Eastampton Rec Committee and Seniors, enjoying today's Combined DKG Chapters luncheon/meeting, working on the BCEA website (sorry I missed seeing Lily Eskelson, though :-( , seeing DHS production of Oklahoma and the latest Bridgeplayers show Lost in Yonkers , dancing upon occasion (remember the old Woodbine? See Tuesday nights now!), and more. (Tonight's highlight was using a youtube video to learn a line dance for "Doncha Wish...". So cool! :-)

Tom has been able to do some winter golfing in this highly unseasonably warm weather and he had some fun recently watching a New Brunswick based bowling tournament with local participants on his computer! (He is just as wonderful as ever and I love him so much!)

"Eye" see you!

My laser-ing follow-up after cataract surgery 3 months ago was this morning and went well. Dr. Cohen tells me I'll be seeing much better now. Yay. (and the next eye is early March...then I'll be perfect!) :-)

Things have been busy with tax season and all, but there is always time for dancing!
I have a bio on the H & R Block site. (You have to put in my name-Roberta Sallee to find me) Does that make me famous?

Looking for Mr. Groundhog....

It's hard to believe it is already February....Tom was out golfing in 60 degree weather (although we did have cumulative snow of sorts one day in Jan...). Tax season is in peak week and I am working every day in a variety of places (including High Street with Dorothy today).

I'm thinking dancing is in order for tomorrow.......hope I'm not too tired! :-)

Winter rears its (white) head

Jeff and the boys didn't get here until midnight the Friday of the week-end they headed to Washington, D.C., but we were so glad to see them and had fun that night and Saturday morning too.
(See Photos  )

I am busy working at H & R Block, but luckily I had off today(Saturday) for the snow and ice day!
We had to cancel our plans to meet with The Brunch Group, but we'll try again for next Saturday!

I went to the gym for the first time in a long time on the way home from my Contact shift the other day and it was fun to be back. My second round of eye surgery is coming up in Feb. and I hope it fixes all my ills in that regard.

I am looking forward to dancing at Sugarfootin' Sunday later after work.

Shoutout to Margie: Hi! Hope you are having/had fun on your cruise! :-)
(Being retired means never ever knowing what day it is or how much time has passed!)

Kaye family visits-film at 11

Jeff and the boys are arriving tonight en route to Washington, D. C. They'll be here for a fun night, ice cream for breakfast, and then be on their way to the big city to check out the new school and digs...and mom.

Meanwhile, back at the morning of this fun filled Friday the 13th, I'm looking at Eastampton cards, consumer workshop, and work at HRB til 8. (Speaking of which, I made my first Craigs List "ad" last night!)

Tom has been golfing on these (relatively) warm January days. He's such a sports enthusiast!

On the other hand, the wind is just HOWLING outside my computer room window right now. What's up with that?

HR Block 2012--Day 1

Tom and I ushered in the New Year happily and merrily.
Now it's time to get to work. I am leaving soon for my first day of work in tax season 2012. I hope we have a great season!
I'll be bouncing between HR Block offices- Sears, Burlington and Liberty Square (also in Burlington). Should be fun!

On another note, we have seen Mission Impossible and Sherlock Holmes. If choosing between the two, I'd recommend the former.

I also saw Hugo and then read the book. Brian Selznick is my new hero.

New Year's Resolutions? What? Oh, well...see Doreen and George, for sure!
