Wow! I can't believe its only 6 days till Christmas. I have a couple of things for Sam, but I should be able to finish up tonight. After dinner...
I'm meeting a couple of girlfriends for dinner tonight at the Firehouse. Will be nice to catch up with them - had to cancel the last gathering because I had a the flu.
Saturday the 16th was our Christmas Party. For the kids. And... by all accounts, it was a success. Nobody got hurt, nobody was arrested and just about ALL the food we bought was consumed. I mean Holy Shit we bought a ton of food and there was very little left over. I would have never guessed that would happen!
Work is still nuts. Not a day goes by where I wish another offer was ready and waiting. Problem is I'm not just willing to take the first available thing. The conditions need to be right.
First, parking must be available. 2nd It needs to be the work that I enjoy doing and not some glorified secretary position. And 3rd - close enough to keep my schedule with my sweetie on track (like driving to work together). There have been several opportunities, but I didnt' play them up since I wasn't really all that interested. There is one in particular I'm hoping for that should come around about February. I won't even be out of my 6 months probation here at my office yet - hehe. Now THAT's funny.
My sister had surgery last week on her right hand for carpal tunnel. She will go back in about another week or so for her left hand. This was her first surgery so - even though she tried to act and actually said she wasn't nervous, she was a total mess. Plus she had a cold on top of it....
The funny part was watching her come out of the hospital dosed up on pain killers and anti-biotics. Gave her a total FAKE sense of being well - hehe, she learned later that night it wasn't real. What can I say? I warned her... me and all my surgery experience.
I read my entry of a couple of weeks ago - was in an extremely bitchy mood. Not sure what the cause was, but its over. I'm back to feeling good, being happy and enjoying Sam's company again, lol. I started getting a little more focused on sleep and vitamins and...eating better!! That was the hardest. I mean when the girls aren't with us we tend to eat out a lot because its almost cheaper than making a full dinner for both of us to just have it put into containers and eventually tossed. I know I need to just control the portions, but habit is habit. When you are used to cooking for four - two doesn't come naturally. I'll work on this too in the upcoming months.
Me thinks its time to consider dieting. I believe I'm hitting a little too close to 180 these days - that's RIDICULOUS!!!!
Okay ... enough about the weight issues.
Time to go!
