Our Dreams of a Log Cabin in the Woods
January 5, 2009 on 9:13 pm | In Family, travel | 1 CommentMy husband and I have always dreamed of having our very own log cabin in the woods. It would be someplace that is easy enough to get too and yet completely private. The location would include a beautiful river where the fishing is good and the treasure hunting (as my daughter has always call scavenging) would be plentiful. In fact, the Skagit Valley of Washington State where my parents used to own property would be perfect, although, a little far from Dallas!
Seriously though, we’ve always thought it would be awesome to have our own little place in the woods. I was recently looking around online at log cabins and discovered The Timberworks Garden Company, located in the UK, that has a great selection of log cabins. Not only will they ship your choice of cabin to anywhere on the mainland UK, but, if you so choose, they’ll even set it up for you.
Think about all the variety of uses for a log cabin. Yes, it can be the dream getaway place in the woods, but it could also be your workshop located on your back lot. Or, maybe you’ve been wishing for a place for all the exercise equipment you got for Christmas? How about a cute cabin in your back yard? I could use one in our back yard to have my very own private sewing area. I would absolutely love that!
For now, I’m just going to keep dreaming of my log cabin in the woods, or, my new sewing room which is sounding better and better the more I say it! 
Hilton Hires Back
January 5, 2009 on 9:25 am | In Finance | 4 CommentsI’ve been hesitant to say anything, but last month I received a letter from Hilton Reservations and Customer Care saying they were hoping to be rehiring trainees in January or February. If I was interested in returning to Hilton, I simply needed to send them an email stating so.
Well, I sent them my email saying yes of course I was interested and the very next day I received an email reply giving me my rehire date! I am scheduled to go into the office day after tomorrow to complete rehire paperwork and then I will start my final 3 weeks of training next Monday, one week from today.
I’ve really been nervous about saying anything because it seems that the economy is certainly not getting any better and I keep waiting for Hilton to say they’ve made a mistake. Then again, perhaps they’ve simply had a reduction in work force due to people voluntarily leaving the company and they need to hire replacements. Either way, I’m in the first class to be called back. I will be very interested to see what other familiar faces are in my class and which ones opted not to return.
Wish me luck!
