I'm Back.....

Hey everyone

We are back from a AWESOME Vacation. We actually did not get home until last night since our flight Saturday was canceled due to snow. It was paradise I met so many new friends and have great stories to tell but I am at that 4 letter word...Work so I will get stories and pictures up soon. I hope everyone is well! By the way its snowing here again I am now used to beautiful 75 degree days...Brrrr

I can't sit still!

( I want to go home and go to sleep so vacation will start!)

Happy New Year Everyone! I also want to thank everyone for the wonderful Birthday wishes. I am at work it is totally dead here no phone calls, no customers so it is making this day really drag by. I am ready to jump out of my seat I am so excited about getting my vacation started. Oh I was a lazy bum yesterday I layed on the couch watching movies, then moved to the bedroom and read a whole book by Meg Cabot. It was a good relaxing day it was so cold out in the teens! I am happy to say the storm they where predicting for today is not going to happen so I do not have to worry about getting snowed in. I just hate flying I have some major anxiety on take off and landings.

I have gotten 2 calls today at work it was from the smarties that decided to go out driving on New Years eve in the snowstorm, both teenage boys....both did some good damage to their vehicles...luckily no injuries. I wish kids would not think they where invincible.

Well it's lunch time I am off to read and have lunch. I hope everyone has a great week. I will have my laptop and perhaps be posting pictures from the road but if not I will be sure to share once I get back. Everyone have a wonderful week!!!!!

Tick Tock.....My last full night of being 40...groan

Hey There

Well it almost our last night of 2008. Dang time sure goes by fast as you get older, remember when you where a kid time just dragged by. I will be extra old Thursday 1/1/09 the big 41...I swear I just turned 40.

This week has been good I am over excited about vacation. I am worried about the snow we have coming though I better be able to fly out on time Saturday morning. We are having a storm tomorrow they are forecasting another 5-7 inches and something may come in Friday night but possibly will turn to rain ( I hope).

My Delilah is so cute tonight she is walking around all bleary eyed hopping from her daddy's lap to a blanket....now for some reason she just ran across the floor at 100 mph.....Crazy cat.

I have no special plans for New Year's eve, just want to get home safe from work tomorrow eve then just have a nice dinner and watch some t.v. Year's back I was all into going in town (Boston) and getting wasted and freezing my bippy off. So glad I am past that craziness. I hope everyone has a great New Year's eve though Be safe if you are traveling.

I have made my packing list for vacation and will pack my clothes on Thursday; I am a organization freak especially when it comes to going on vacation. I will get a double paycheck tomorrow so I will feel rich woo hoo! Well thats about it for tonight.
Happy New Years friends!

Delilah's Christmas presents video

Christmas is over now the countdown is on…..

Well it seems everyone had a good Christmas after reading all your journals, that is good to hear.  We had a wonderful relaxing day just what I needed.  On Christmas eve we stayed home and just hung out with my friend and one of Dave’s friends.  I had a lot of good pictures but I accidentally wiped my camera card I thought the pictures had already copied to my computer but they had not.  Lets just say there was a little cussing at my house at that moment.  I do have some pictures though as you see I have 2 digital camera’s a small one and a more professional digital SLR 10 megapixel; I only wiped the card on the big camera.

I made dinosaur eggs for breakfast Christmas morning and the we had the most wonderful dinner:  Prime Rib roast, baked potatoes,  broccoli and cheese sauce.  The roast took 5 hours to cook but it was out of this world.  We used a Paula Dean Recipe off the web.  You put the roast in at 375 for 70 minutes or(12 minutes per pound) then turn off the oven, DO NOT OPEN the oven door, let it stay in the oven for 3 hours, then you turn the oven back on at 375 for about 30  minutes.  We did a 5.88 lb roast and it came out rare/medium rare it was perfect.

We spent the day in our P.J.’s lounging  watching movies it was very nice.  Delilah was a riot I got her a new toy on a stick and a tub of catnip with a ball.  She was too funny with the cat nip rubbing her face on the container trying to get it open. 

I have one return I feel so bad…LOL  I paid for a portion of Dave’s plane ticket as his Christmas present but wanted to have at least one thing for him to have on Christmas so I got this really cool pair of suede and fleece massaging slippers.  They vibrate!  Well he liked them and he put them on his feet and something was wrong……..there where 2 left feet slippers!  I do not know how that happened now I have to bring them back.  I have been enjoying my present from him immensely he got me the Microsoft Zune 120gig. 

Here is a link that show’s you what it is: Microsoft Zune  I just love it, I have an iPod but this is so much better, I highly recommend it.  so far I already have 4,300 songs, 38 full length audio books, 200 pictures,  many podcasts, around 20 videos including a full length TV show, 5 free games and I still have 92 gigs of empty space left!  I also joined the marketplace for $14.99 a months which lets me download as many songs as I want and I get to keep 10 songs a month.  On my computer I have over 4000 songs but it is good to get new stuff too.

Now after this long holiday weekend only for more work days until I will be going to the Florida Keys!!!!  We have Thursday off for New Years which also happens to be my birthday so I will be packing.   This is where we are staying I got us a king size bed with a pool/garden view.

 

Here is the pool area

Yippee!!!!

It's almost Christmas Eve and all is Well .....Sorta

(thanks Adm designs)

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah!  I hope your day is filled with love and happiness.  I know a few J-Land/blogger friends are going through hard times this holiday so I just wanted to say my prayers and thoughts are with you all.

 

I am in a good mood today, just bummed that I am at work for the whole day!  Unless someone get's a little Christmas spirit and lets us leave a little early at least.  The only reason I am bummed is that I did not do food shopping for Christmas!  Since we had the snowstorm last weekend it ruined my shopping plans.  Last  night I had to get presents for co-workers.  My jeep is still broken so I have to rely on a ride from my friend/co-worker.  I could use Dave's X-terra when I get home but I do not see good at night and do not like driving in the dark.  So tonight after work it will be a mad rush to get to the grocery store and get what I need before 6 p.m.

(don't make us work all day!)

I will be making my dinosaur eggs for Christmas morning its a tradition from when I was a kid. They are really called Scottish eggs but my mom gave them a better name.  They are basically hard boiled eggs wrapped in jimmy Dean sausage then baked, so they make these big balls that look like dinosaur eggs....Yummy! This is pictures from last year....

 

Cooking Dinosaur Eggs

 

As long as I get to the grocery store tonight we will be have a prime rib roast, baked potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, asparagus or broccoli, and maybe steamed carrots.  I had my fill of turkey and ham on Turkey day I want some red meat. 

Ok I better get back to work......Merry Christmas My friends!
