Menu Foods and College :)

March 24 2007 330PM

What is new here? Not a lot. My mom works for Menu Foods *gasp*

I think by now everyone on the planet has heard of the tainted dog and cat foods, and now we know that it seems to be a rat poison that "somehow" entered into a supply of wheat gluten from China. My mom works here in the NSC plant, so thankfully, none of the tainted stuff was used in her plant... I don't think they make the types (cuts and gravy) that are being recalled. This is one of the first times in my life that a recall has affected me directly. I worry not only because people's pets are being hurt/dying, but because my mom's livlihood is made in that plant. She just got an office job that she loves, and is doing very well with :):) I hope that things are ok for Menu Foods...

Jim and I aren't up to much. I got to spend 4 days last week with my cousin and her 4month old. She is so cute. She is smiling and giggling and laughing and kicking her legs and flailing her arms now... very cute. She is just getting over Influenza B and thank goodness, she didn't get severely ill from it. Just some general "I don't feel good, hold me" stuff... Such a cute baby!!! My cousin is proving to be a wonderful, and loving mother as well :):) I am so happy and proud to see that :)

Spring cleaning is coming up. We need to go through/pack/throw out many things, so that we only put in storage what we want and need. Seems weird to me that you have all these things in your house that you must have purchased for a want or a need at some point, but when you get ready to move, you find that you should throw it out... weird... seems that every time we move, we can fill up a dumpster easily, and we don't have very much stuff at ALL!!

So June 1st is the moving day to Vermillion to the campus of The University Of South Dakota. I am very excited! Lots and lots and lots of sidewalks and areas to walk around :) I hope that Jim and I make time to go on a lot of walks, and get a lot of pictures of the old buildings there. I think that it is great that we will be there for 3 months before classes start. By that time, we should know where all the buildings are, and where everything is in town.. That way, when Jim has to start a full load of classes, neither of us feel overwhelmed with all the "new"

Ok, nice cool rainy weekend here, so I think I will go through some stuff, and pack some stuff. If you are reading this, have a great day!!! Take good care!
