Ha!

So I love this. I have work to do today and our systems are down so I can't! lol. Anyway- at least I have 5 days off after today!

Monday is my mom's B-day. I'm going to spend the day with her and either make my x-mas cards or go shopping in quilt stores... I need to get the fabric for the back of Erin's baby's quilt! And then as soon as I'm done w/ the x-mas cards I can finish that quilt! I'll put a picture of it up after she gets it. She wants it to be a surprise. I can never wait! lol

Another reason I want those x-mas cards done is I want to read book 4 of the Twilight Saga uninterrupted! Front to back, only stopping to eat, sleep and work! No dinner for Aaron for a few days!! lol

So much to look forward to....

Oh! I wanted to list what I'm thankful for right now. Seems appropriate- I won't be on here 'till Tuesday!
My family- yes, all of them- even the ones that make me crazy (not to be named here...)
My friends- I would be awful lonely w/ out them!
My animals- Love the dogs and the cat. They make me smile everyday!
My husband- Life would not be the same w/ out him- that's for sure!
My house, car, furnishings- Much more comfortable w/ that stuff
The AZ sky- Beautiful sun rises and sets make me appreciate the small stuff
AZ weather- I hate cold anything! :)
My health- I'm glad I don't have anything in that department to worry about, leaves more worry room for others!
My son- He taught me that it's very easy to love through all the pain

Twilight

So I just finished #3. And I have to say... I am still Team Jacob. I know- I know. I've heard it all before! Traitor! But really- who wants a cold man anyway?

Cute Goat

So everyday I look at the news for pictures of animals... This is the one I found today. It's a goat covered in snow! Boy am I glad I live in AZ!!

Another day...

Well here we are again. It's early and I have about 1 hour worth of work to do. And I can't do anything until later, it's only 7:30 in CA right now and all the people I need to call are on the West Coast. So I'm stalling...

I heard this morning that my friend's water broke!! She's 4 days overdue- so I'm hoping labor goes quick for her and we get a picture of her baby girl today. I'm jealous and so happy for her! :)

Last night was a mad dash of cleaning- Except I still have not cleaned up the sticky mess from pie baking. I know it's going to be frustrating and so I keep putting it off!! So the whole house is clean, just need minor touch ups- except in the kitchen...

I have more people coming over Friday- They have two kids just like my bro-in-law and sis-in-law. So I just know Butter (my 6 month old doxie) is going to have a fit w/ 4 kids in her house! She loves dogs- just not necessarily people... and hates kids... so we'll see. I may have to put her in her kennel so she doesn't have a heart attack! But at least Zoe (my other older doxie) will have a blast. She loves kids!

hmph

So I decided to start this because I have nothing else I can look at at work. Everything else is blocked!! Damn IT. Hopefully they won't get hip to this too. Then I'll really start crying.

I just started this new position (not really new- but it's all mine now and that's new to me!) and I'm all caught up w/ my work and twiddling my thumbs. I've already written my lists of what I need to do at home (much more to do at home than work), gotten together my lists of food and what I need from the grocery store, and figured out how long I'm going to cook my turkey. And how long it needs to be in the refigerator to thaw... My first attempt at cooking a turkey- Yes. I'm excited and scared. Should I buy a back up or not. That is the question! lol But one pie is done- the other I'm doing Wednesday. I feel like I should have more stuff to worry about. But then I'm not doing all of the cooking either.

But I'm super excited to have my parents and family friends over for the Big Day. We're going to eat and then I'm going to bring out the dominos and make everyone play. Ok, so I'm going to force everyone to play!! lol And then Friday- My brother in law and sister in law are coming over and I'm going to force them to play w/ us again!! I may need to resort to strong arm tactics though. I don't think my brother in law had very much fun the last time we played... hehe- oh well. I'll have fun!
