Man, is my life boring or what? I seriously don't have SQUAT to report.
Thanksgiving was in Mississippi with Chris' family. It was short and sweet. The kept their Obama supporting slams to a minimum. We are supposed to return in June to see the WHOLE family, including Rhonda's (my dear sister in law) new husband.
I was kind of worried about meeting her new husband because I hear he can be brutally honest and a real character. For some reason I thought he would make fun of my flaws (I have many, but mainly referring to my weight). I don't know why I thought that. I know deep down inside I need to get on that much-needed diet, but man...I don't know. Nothing seems to be working.
My new position at my company has me running around like a chicken with my head cut-off. I love staying busy, but this is really, REALLY busy. It's hard for me to take off on Fridays, I need to pay the company bills. It's hard to take off on Mondays, I do payroll on Mondays and the Mondays I don't do the payroll, I'm doing the Canadian payroll. Taxes due on specific days. I just try to take off when I can!
Christmas was quiet. I spent it with my family at my aunt's house. Chris was very sick and he was no fun at all. Aside from that (he's fine now), he got me the coolest cell phone! I feel like one of the cool kids now. I can text without hunting and pecking for the stupid letters. FULL KEYBOARD, CAMERA...YES!
I've been reading a ton lately. I'm currently reading (see icon) Murder in the Heartland.
I find that I'm most happy when I'm bundled up in bed with my electric blanket on and reading a book. Depression? Not sure. I feel that I've been working so much that I don't want to clean, do laundry or anything outside of work. It takes alot to get me out of the house now. Okay, maybe a good margarita can get me out.
Vanessa, a co-worker that has transferred to our department, really is so helpful! Without getting sappy, I really don't know how much she knows how much I appreciate the help she gives me.
Mom and Nick want to go to on an Alaskan cruise this year. I really want to go. But with this economy and layoffs being so close to Chris' department, I'm afraid to commit myself to so much money. OMG, the brochures are beautiful. Breathtaking. Hell, if I really want to commit, I'd get our passports. I really need to do that.
I've been wanting a new pet lately. I have no idea why. I love the two that I have and really don't have the time or patience to potty train anything.
I've attempted crochet again. I have a beginning of an afghan sitting next to me on my desk. I hate being such a perfectionist. I make some mistakes and just want to keep starting over.
I accidentally poured wine on my keyboard. The only thing that stopped working was the F12 key. Well, as I sit here typing this, the F12 key decides to work and starts turning up the volume on my monitor. Macs are wine tough! (Mental note: check to see if the keyboard is plugged in properly)
Happy New Year (belated) to everyone!
