Same old, same old

Well, nothing really new everyone! I feel better, due to the fact that I've had a cough and congestion since New Year's eve. Tomorrow is a new month, one month closer to spring.
Tomorrow I am going wedding dress shopping with my mother. I think it's more of a bonding/quality time experience.

So, about the Obama enviromental plan...
Well, I'm all for going green and preserving what we haven't ruined yet. I agree with Liz though, fix the friggin' economy first! Prioritize Mr. President! Also, I'm not just saying that because both of my parents are looking at a layoff in the next month. My dad is almost positive that he won't get laid off, because he's the only certified American-Lafrance (fire engines) painter in the area. Also. he has large ties to PSNH, and often gets jobs repairing the trucks and painting them, which brings a lot of money to the company he works for. If you don't know, my dad is a welder/fabricator/painter (and my favorite mechanic).
My mom works for GE. She makes airplane parts. She welds parts together and says it's boring, but it pays well. She was one of the last people hired over the last 5 years ( I think she's been there that long). So she'll be almost the first to go.
My brother drives a truck for motorstar tires. He is also a voulenteer firefighter and EMT. He hopes the "voulenteer" part doesn't last to long, but until he can take the test, he is looking into working for the state again in the DOT as a truck driver and plow the snow (the hours are crazy when it snows, but last year he makde almost $2000 a week!)
My sister is a pastry chef. She works at CR Sparks. She is feeling the pinch, since they cut her hours. It's her first official job after graduating college.
And me, well I work in healthcare, so I'm ok right now. I'd like to advance, but that'll have to wait until i can pay my bills down and get settled.

And I know I kinda rambled on and on, sorry!
