We got a little snow….Like over a foot!

Hi There

I have been so busy so I hope everyone is well.  After the last 2 hectic weeks I  hope to be able to relax this coming up weekend for the Christmas break and catch up on all your blogs!

Well we have had our 1st and 2nd major winter storm in the same weekend.  It started snowing Friday afternoon around 2 p.m. and basically just stopped a few hours ago Sunday afternoon.

I have some cool pictures to put up.  On Friday night me and Dave took a ride in the snowstorm since he was dying to try his truck in the snow since we did not have snow last year when he got his X-terra. 

I love the snow but it has really put me behind for Christmas shopping.  I plan on getting gift cards but I have not even been able to leave the house this weekend due to the weather.  I see myself on Christmas eve as usual losing my mind.  On a happy note our plane tickets are purchased we will be flying out the weekend after New Years to Fort Lauderdale then drive down to the Keys.  New Years day is my birthday I will be the big 41…..groan. 

Here are the pictures enjoy:

Checking in

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to check in and say hello. I have been extremely busy at work and we had mandatory overtime starting last week. So I work all day and come home and work some more (I can access the company websites online). Last week I did 8 hours of overtime that may not seem like a lot to some but I hate overtime I just want to work and have my day done at 4:30. We are trying to get all the January 1st car insurance renewal out the door but since the laws changed we have to remarket everyone's policies to be sure they are getting the best price....its stinks as we have hundreds and there is me and 1 part timer doing it. I did kick but since last Wed until today Monday I have done around 100 so we should get them out the door in time. Enough about that....Ewww.

I have gotten 1 present for someone, yes that is it I am so behind. I do not have a lot to buy for but I know on Christmas eve I will be getting those gift cards for the rest. I am kind of wishing Christmas would get over so my vacation would get here! Not that I do not love Christmas I do, but soaking up the Rays in the Florida Keys is what I need about now. OMG we went to buy our tickets on Priceline Saturday so Dave goes online and he chooses an morning flight to leave on and and evening flight to return on....well when the confirmation came back it had it reversed! So Dave calls priceline and they said they cannot fix it but have to cancel the reservation and my money will be returned in 48 hours if the charge did not got through or 5 to 10 days if it went through!!!!! AUGH now that ties up $600 of our cash I keep checking the bank and its not back yet. Doing stuff online is great but sometimes I miss the good old days of dealing with a human being.

We have had some crazy weather Saturday it was like 10 degree's out and today its in the 60's it has been up and down all last week. I did not mean to just be a big ole complainer on this entry....ooops but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and what ever else you may celebrate as I am doing overtime again this week and may not to post. Have a great night!!!!!

It’s Snowing out!!!! And some of my Christmas Decorations.

It’s Snowing out!!!!  WOO HOO, the first snow of the year is magical!  Have a look:

1st Snow dec 2008

  

I feel Somewhat better but not 100 percent, still coughing a lot. This weekend we have just hung out at home just a few stops to the store where I got a few more decorations.  I have to still finish the outside of the house and get the tree but the rest is pretty much done.

I am so Excited Dave is getting me the 120gb  Microsoft Zune for Christmas, it can hold up to 30,000 songs , 25,000 pictures and 375 hours of video.  I am a gadget freak so this will be good, I   have an ipod nano but need more space.  I put my vacation time up on the board for the 1st full week in January…Florida Keys here we come!

Here are some pictures of my decorations hope you like them and have a wonderful sunday…..I am going to watch the Patriots and have a fire.

Delilah playing with her favorite toy

Hi Everyone,

I am quite miserabley sick this week so I have not been posting. I have a horrible cold and chest infection so I am on antibiotics, dayquil, nitequil, sinus pressure medicine, and advil......and I still feel like crap. I do not know why I have gotten sick so many times this season already oh well it happens. I will be changing my background to a Christmas theme as long as I feel better this weekend. I have all my decorations up except for a tree so I will post pictures of that too. This is a video of Delilah beating the crap out of her favorite stuffed animal she has had since she was a baby. Such a sweet kitten
