I Hate Pink
We had a rough day at work – they passed out “pink slips” to 6 people this morning. It was awful. When Darlene told me she was having to leave I almost cried. It’s not fair. I helped her carry a box of stuff to her car and then drive off to a husband already out of work and two little kids. I don’t know how they will get by without her paycheck.
Why did they wait until this morning to fire people? I can’t believe my friends and colleagues spent the weekend thinking everything was great and went shopping or whatnot and then come in Monday morning to find their job is gone. No more paycheck, no health insurance, no notice. It’s not fair.

There were ads all around town last year about a new reality series held by CMT called, “Can You Duet?” When I saw the billboards, I though immediately of my good friend, Leslie Ellis and her singing partner Casey Kelley. I thought they would be great on the show and would most likely win. But she didn’t participate.
One of the other couples that did participate have used that exposure to launch their career as a country duo. Have you heard of Joey and Rory? They are awesome, real, down to earth people who are extremely talented singers and songwriters. I love them both!

We all love the groundhog today. It’s the only holiday devoted to a rodent and we all make a really big deal about it. What else are we supposed to do on a cold winter day after we’ve already had months of cold weather and dark, gloomy skies? We need a holiday and the groundhog is a great excuse for a holiday, eh.
In Pennsylvania, today is the cause of a big annual celebration, with tuxedos, top hats and a crowd of thousands that want to witness the defining moment of Punxsutawney Phil emerging from his burrow and seeing his shadow or not.
