In the last few months my 401K has dropped to a 201k. At one point we had made the decision to work 2 more years and then retire to a beach. Now it looks like we will have to keep working until time for our dirt naps. I had no idea that I would live so long or I would of taken better care of myself, I have no one to blame but myself. Lets hope the economy bounces back, I have doubts but we can hope for the best. If the stock market makes a come back and everything else recovers we still have a chance of seeing that beach.

Today is my baby sisters birthday and I wanted to wish her a big happy birthday. We grew up in a very poor but loving family and birthdays meant a cake and a hug most years. I have tried to make every birthday special for everyone in my family and I am sending my sister a gift certificate to Outback I know that she loves to eat there but never goes because money is tight so I know she will appreciate the gift card. i love my sister and want her to have a very nice birthday.

The big rat who calls himself Phil the Groundhog is in control of our weather for the next six weeks, he can see his shadow and give us six more weeks of winter or see no shadow and we will be basking in springs warmth and sunshine early, I say lets pay him off to get the no shadow thing. I think the rat can be had for a couple of bucks and a chunk of cheese or what ever “ground hogs” eat. I think it would be worth it to get an early spring.
