HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year! Last day of work before the new year begins. Looking forward to having a 3 day weekend. My plans are low-key for once, and I'm darn excited about it.

I called today for dinner reservations for New Year's Eve and my options were 4:30pm or before/9:30pm or after....so we're going to eat with the old folks at 4:30pm!! HA HA Should be a grand old time. Then we're planning on going to a friend's house that have two baby girls (2 years and 3 months old) to hang out and spend some quality time with them.

My other plans for the weekend involve finishing my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's business books through December, and Starting/Completing the baby shower invitations for my sister's baby shower on Feb. 11th. Should be a productive weekend.

Happy Holidays!!
Well today is my last day of work until Wednesday, December 28th!! YIPPEE!! I am very thankful this year that all my friends and family have their health. It has been a rough year with some illnesses, and I'm happy to say that most everyone is doing well. Aamer and Dawn are in our prayers because Aamer recently found out he has sinus cancer. He will be having surgery in January. We are thinking about you Aamer!!

It's tough to concentrate at work today because it's the last day before the holiday weekend. Many people are at home or travelling to visit family already. I decided I might as well work since we are heading out until tomorrow anyways. It's one of those lazy days where nobody really gets anything done.

I am going out tonight with one of my bestest friends who is home from Arizona for the holidays! I can't wait. We are meeting up with a few other girls from college and going to dinner, then out for drinks. Wish I wasn't the DD tonight, but it's probably good that I am considering Saturday is Christmas Eve. It's no fun to be hung-over on Christmas!! HA HA

Well Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

5 Days until Christmas!!
Today started out a little rough, but has gotten better. I woke up this morning feeling just fine, and I bent over to put my belt through the loops and my neck kinked...yep...my neck is stuck. So I thought as the day went on it would loosen up, but it hasn't. I have finally decided to go to the chiropractor this afternoon. I am a little nervous, but I hope they can fix it!!

My good friend, Lisa, invited me out to lunch today! I am so thankful for that. She is a great friend and I won't be seeing her again before the holidays so that was just wonderful. We went to our favorite place...Laredo's Mexican Grill! It was tasty.

The song Drunker than Me tells me about my mind, and the song Baby Girl tells me how I feel about life!!!!

ENJOY!

Today has been a good day so far. I've been pretty busy at work. Hoping to get my last bit of Christmas shopping done tonight. I also have a few more cards to finish stamping and get those sent out. Usually I am way ahead of the game when it comes to Christmas, but for some reason this year, I just can get anything done.

Tomorrow Kory and I are hopefully going 4-wheeling out on our friend's farm. Should be fun. He bought me a 'new' used 4-wheeler last night, so now we just need to sell my old one. I'm excited to ride it. No more shifting! Don't we love automatics!!

I am thankful today that it's FRIDAY!! I am happy that the weekend is finally here. I've had this nasty cold all week, so I'm hoping it goes away before the holidays get here.

Today I am thankful for my husband!! We got into a huge fight last weekend and finally sat down and talked Monday night. It was a well-needed talk and things went really well. We decided that we need to work harder at our relationship. We both work long hours, on opposite shifts, and can go days without really seeing each other. It can be difficult, but we're so used to it, that sometimes we forget that we do need to make time for each other.

Other than that, I have been miserably sick for the last 2 days. I went to Urgent Care today to make sure it wasn't strep, and it isn't...thankfully. Just a virus, so I hope it clears up before the holidays.

I can't wait to see all my family and friends that are coming home for the holidays. Tina is flying in on Monday the 19th, Alison is coming home on the 21st...of course I won't get to see her until the 26th, but I'll be glad to hear they got home safely.

My First Blog

Well all my friends are blogging, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. I am not sure what to write about. There are lots of things in my life that I am thankful for, so I thought that is what I would call my blog.

Today I am thankful that my friend's Katie and Bruce's little guy came through surgery okay on Monday (12/5/05). Here is an adorable picture of the little guy. He's now home safe and sound.

I had a bit of a rough weekend this past weekend. Kory and I got into a huge fight. We never fight...so it was tough. It was my fault, but it's still difficult to handle. I'm not a fighter. I just want everything to be good all the time.

Yesterday Kory's dad and sister and her husband came over for lunch. I made a great lunch that included enchilada casserole and apple crisp! It was tasty!!

Well I don't know what else to write about, so I will go now. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this as time goes by.
