So now that I've had time to process what is really happening with this whole layoff thing, its really surreal. I found out today my severance package is even better then we thought. I get paid full salary through 3/14 as that is when my 12 weeks of FMLA runs out. Then I'll get paid out for my vacation which will be 60 hours, then I'll get a month of salary plus three additional weeks. So I'm getting 7 weeks more then we had planned for. It really works out very well for me. I'm also eligible to apply for unemployment though DH and I aren't sure how we feel about that and aren't sure that I will, we'll see.

For my friends, it really sucks. I've heard from a few of them. One already has another job interview lined up, one's job was saved, one is applying for all the jobs GGP has opened up and the rest haven't said yet. So they're kind of all over the board but ultimately they're all still in shock. This was just such a broad sweeping change that no one really knows what to think at this point.

I went and had lunch with my boss today at the new restaurant at the mall, HuHot Mongolian Grill. If you have one of these near you (midwest only I think) you must go - they're great, cheap and all you can eat. The desserts were to die for as well!

Otherwise its just a regular day here today. Adele has been sleeping most of the day so I have a feeling it could be a long night, we'll see. Its supposed to be BITTER cold here starting tomorrow through the weekend so I don't think we'll be going anywhere anyway, so we'll just stay home and nap!
