As if I weren't always running low enough on time and money, the holidays had to come along. So tired. I want to go to bed but the one load of laundry I've had time to do this weekend needs to go in the dryer first. The past few days have been a blur of trying to get as much crap done as possible while also catering to Casey's whims, but I'll try ( Read more... )

Saturday night we went to a Christmas party at Casey's dad's house. It was nice... they showered her with gifts, and even gave me some Ticketmaster gift cards, which was the #1 thing I wanted because I've been dying to go see a show. I think we're going to use them for tickets to In The Heights in March. Woo. Anyway, we had some good food and ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Ours was good. Christmas Eve I worked till around 4 and then met my parents and Casey (who I hadn't seen in a few days since she'd been at Niki's) at church, and then we went to my Aunt Ann's house for some dinner and a small gift exchange. The part that really got to me was when my aunt announced that she ( Read more... )

I'm working my way through your posts tonight (about 80 to go in the journals only feed), but I saw this Christmas meme and realized it's been a while since I did a meme of any kind, so what the heck? Here goes. ( Read more... )

It's cutting off the last 5 minutes or so, which is not a big deal except the last song (which is called "The 12 Pains of Christmas") is pretty funny, so I'm just going to have to get someone to record only that part tomorrow and then I'll post it separately. Mkay? Okay.

You guys, I have been so busy. Running running running. Not much time for leisurely things like LJ (writing this on my lunch break at work, and I’m SO behind in reading your posts), or TV (my DVR is almost totally full now. Ha). Oh December ( Read more... )

So, dollar stores are pretty awesome. I must remember to use them more often. I went today because I wanted to get a couple more secret santa gifts (the daily surprises worth about $1... I still have to get her a bigger gift for our party Monday). So I got her a cute little penguin snow globe and a votive candle dish, and also some snow caps ( Read more... )

Thursday Debbie, Amy and I had our consultation at the gym. There was no actual work out involved like we'd expected... we just sat down with a trainer and he gave us some ideas on how to develop a work out routine, what our heart rates should be, how to eat right, etc. They asked a zillion questions, I got bored and he looked at his watch a lot ( Read more... )

We had a nice time visiting Casey's dad and his wife at their house tonight. As nice a time as you can have with an ex, LOL. But really, they were great hosts. We had yummy wings cooked on the grill, veggies we'd never tried before (we do not eat healthy enough) and fries. We met their adorable pets, our favorite being the beautiful, sweet ( Read more... )

We had a lovely Christmas day at my parents' house. I am so pleased with the gifts I got, and it was more than I had expected. I got the top thing on my list, a Wii Fit. Also, between the 2 of us we got 3 other new Wii games (I gave Casey the olympics game, my brother gave me Game Party, which is the same thing I gave my dad, and my parents gave ( Read more... )
