Interesting Christmas

Christmas went well. We spent Christmas Eve at my dad's house and then went to PA on Saturday to see Rich's Grandparents. I've had more ham in the past 3 days then I care to think about!

On the way to PA my dad called me to tell me that he talked to his sister. Now, that alone is amazing because he's only heard from her like 3 times since my grandma died in July. Anyhow, she was calling to tell him that my cousin knocked up his girlfriend and had just proposed to her. They are planning the wedding for March and somehow think they can afford to move out on 2 part-time salaries!! I so want to tell him about the "real world" - This kid is so spoiled. I mean by the time he was 8 he had a TV, a computer, a phone and like 3 video game systems!!

I'm just glad my grandmother isn't alive for this - I think she would kill him.

First Christmas Present of the Year

I can't wait to play this, maybe we'll break it out at lunch.
Thanks Kim!

I gave in

And ordered a pizzelle maker. Marianne was talking about making them and I remembered how much I like them - so since none of the stores around here had them I ordered it. I hope it gets here before Saturday but luckily it's not just a Christmas cookie!

If you're weird and you know it clap your hands....

Thanks a lot Nancy!

1. My insane love of Christmas. I really do start listening to Christmas music in September and my shopping is done on black Friday!

2. I have to make the bed before I crawl back in to go to sleep. I know I will mess it up but I can't stand starting out on wrinkled sheets.

3. Apologizing - I do it for the stupidest stuff even after people tell me not to do it.

4. Reminding my husband to eat breakfast. I know he's a grown up and all but I want to make sure he starts his day off right.

5. Separating my food on the plate. I can't stand it when things touch. I will actually balance the plate on a spoon to stop juices from running. When I lived at home they actually bought me a plate with dividers!

Damn - that's all I have, Sorry!

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance. Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer. Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Get your facts straight!

Hearsay

adj : heard through another rather than directly; "hearsay information" n : gossip (usually a mixture of truth and untruth) passed around by word of mouth

Another One Bites The Dust

Another Birthday that is. We had it all planned - at least 8 of us were gonna go bowling cause they have this dinner buffet and everything. Now it's possibly down to 4 which means if they sell out we have to share our lane. :-(

I know my birthday is on a huge holiday and all but you would think that since it is a holiday we would get invited to a party or something - but no. I think I may just change my birthday - maybe sometime in the summer so at least if I have to be with just my husband and best friend we don't have to freeze!

I just learned

Where I stand. My boss' usual lunch companion is unavailable. When that happens he always asks Kim to lunch but today she couldn't go...Then he went through 2 more in our department before he got a "yes". So at least 3 people in our department are above me in the way of favorites - not sure I ever wanted to know that.

Can't win

So after all the hours I spent decorating the church and running to the store cause people can't uphold their commitments I missed the party anyhow. My dad left crying before the party started so of course I started freaking out. I thought I could make it but once I had to tell someone what happened I lost it so I just left. So far not a call or an email from anyone and at least 6 people saw me leave crying.

On a good note I did get to go to my sister's (not blood related)house earlier. The kids have all gotten so big!! I wish I had brought a camera with me...But I should get a Christmas picture soon that I can scan in for you.

After the craziness of the day I decided to unwind by wrapping all of the presents I had purchased, making a batch of cookies and doing laundry - hmm I guess that wasn't the best way to unwind.

No plans this weeks other then getting my hair cut so hopefully I will have happier posts.

The show was awsome!

Morning from Hell

OK so it's not quite 9AM and I think more has happened already this morning then the past few days combined.

1. I woke up at 5:30 with a raging headache which gave me nausea

2. I lost my shirt (turned out to be on my husband's side of the closet under his jeans)

3. I dropped my new necklace and then had to spend the time to untangle it. Thus putting me like 15 minutes behind schedule.

4. Because of the nausea I threw out my breakfast

5. My pants split when changing cars for the car pool.

So now I sit here totally worried the someone will see something they shouldn't. Lucky me my husband doesn't have to work until 1 and is bringing replacement pants.

I confess...

That I am addicted to Christmas. I have scaled things back since marrying a man who once told me he hated Christmas.

So far the outside lights are up (first time I ever got to pick them!), the tree is up and will be decorated tonight and the rest of my Christmas figurines and doo dads are up as well.

My grandma used to make anywhere from 6-10 different kinds of cookies along with fruit cake (don't knock it unless you've actually tried it). With her gone I feel like I have to uphold that responsibility. My dad will be making 2 kinds of cookies and I think I agreed to make 4-6 - I can't quite remember.

I am also in charge of the church Holiday party (Holiday because we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas at the same time). So far I have the tree up and decorated, the front of the church partially done, and on Sat I will be doing the party room including the table centerpieces.

I can't imagine how much more I will add when I have kids - but at least no one will call me crazy for getting up early Christmas morning then!


On a total side note as I was doing the spell check Blogger wanted to replace "fruitcake" with "britches". How is that even remotely the same?

Do you ever feel like your boss is playing games with you?

That's how I feel right now. You may recall that a few posts back that I talked about being ignored with all the meetings and things. While, that continues abd another mess gets added in.

Before my boss went to NY last week he had me email one of our IT people to try and get the rest of my software up because he wanted me full time on the phone on Monday. While, the girl I emailed told me that her boss said that wasn't important. When I informed my boss of that fact on Friday he said fine we will just make you a spreadsheet - I really want this to go.

So here it is Tuesday and I think I'm invisible. He doesn't even say "Hi" let alone update me on where this list is. I'm so f-ing frustrated!!

Funny things heard at Panini's

1. "If they take off any more clothes I'm gonna loose it!"

2. "I'm gonna ask him if I can suck his dick" Said by a man cause this guys shirt said Eat Italian

3. "Grab his wallet he only has one good arm anyhow!" The guy had a broken arm

4. "He looks like a Nazi" Said about the bouncer/bar back

5. "Is there a weight limit to be a waitress here?"
