At the end of the year, we're only allowed to roll over 120 hours of vacation time (15 days, the amount we accrue in one year). I burned used days before Christmas to go to Miami, thinking that I had to burn those hours before 12/31.
Turns out its based on some weird payroll schedule, so since Xmas I have accrued another 8 hours I need to burn. Hence, I'm taking tomorrow off.
80s night at Neighbors, anyone??
For 2008, I already have 14 of those 15 days accounted for:
--> 4 Vacation days for PVR, which coincides with
'Beef Dip' in February (plus the two floating holidays, and NO, I'm not a bear) :-P
--> 10 Vacation days in December for Argentina and
Antarctica It'll be a lean year :-)

I've already logged into Turbotax.com to start my tax return. Based on the information I have so far, the refund will be around $1300. I have ants in my pants waiting for all the forms, as I like to file asap. This will be the money for my new camera lens, as well as the $500 I have to shell out for losing my keys during the trip to Las Vegas in December (the entire building needs to be re-keyed, and 2 copies given to each condo owner and tenant). GRRRR!

Tummy is healing OK. It gets a little sore when I get up too fast or turn around in bed. The doctor save me some kind of silicone cream for the scar and I started trying that yesterday. It's a little sticky. The hole on the left side still has a chunk of scab in it. Doc says it may take up to 4 months for the scars to finally smooth out.
I can't wait to start exercising again. I've lost 3-4 lbs in the last 2 weeks, but unforunately the wrong kind of weight. I'm feeling flabby and I need my figure back before I hit the beach in PVR. Don't look at me, I'm hideous!
