It's a good thing that I have always been on the almost dead side with my blood pressure. If not, the high end of normal I run with idiot issues would have given me a heart attack by now...

Why oh why do my poor kids have to deal with such idiots? At least it is only once a month. I can't imagine dealing with this mess on a every-other-week & Wednesday night basis.

happy thought

It is getting close to time for tulips and daffodils!!! Makes me smile!

why did the snow stay?

We chose a new background for the blog! Why is the snow still there you ask? Cause we decided to leave it until the snow quits falling and melts off our driveway! (this could take several months, as only half is poorly shoveled, and the other side is over a foot tall!) Our protest begins!

question

Would leggings, boots, and a belt make my leopard-print snuggy wearable in public?

Many thanks...

To all those who's prayers and thoughts got the kids safely through their holiday time with their dad. They got through it and claim to have had a ehhhh time. I have heard of some fun, but I think they really missed the time they could have spent with their cousins and friends.

Also thanks to the person/s who shoveled my driveway and stairs. ( I was in the bathtub and thought I heard something, but wasn't sure until I heard the stairs getting shoveled, and by then it was too late.)

Guess how many

Time I got stuck today? 3! Almost 4, but I finally got smart, and dug through the 2 snow drifts (1 halfway out into the street and past my knees, 1 up by the garage and just below my knees) to get my car back in to the garage. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I hope Santa leaves me a higher automobile before the next Christmas this white. Or maybe a man to shovel my and drive me through the snow, as I seem to be a bad judge of the height of a snow drift (if I even pay attention to it at all).

Christmas bonus!

So today at work we had our Christmas lunch and got bonuses! I have never worked for this FABULOUS of employers before! Everyone got a "regular" bonus, as well as a wonderful parting gift! Mine was specially chosen just for me! How awesome is that! I can't wait to use my new mixer to show my wonderful friends how much their generosity means to me!

I don't know if I mentioned that my mixer's engine blew out the night before Thanksgiving. Apparently it couldn't whip eggs with butter and sugar. I tried to call and complain, but supposedly it was out of warranty by a year. You would think a company would stand by it's product, but no. I was kinda frustrated, but then pretty happy cause I realized that I would have an excuse to not do any Christmas baking. When I mentioned this, my friends paid attention.

I am sooo happy to work for wonderful fabulous people who share their wonderful fabulousness friendship with me!!!!
