Bored...........

Day 3 of my 6 day sabbatical. I'm ready to go back to work. LOL The kids are good. We got done a majority of our Christmas shopping Friday, it was fun to go to KB Toys on the Black Friday and experience the crowds. Boy were there crowds! We didn't stay too long. I was a bit hungover from my Champaign celebration last night by myself. LOL.

Got some videos for the kids and me. I just saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That was so amazing! Loved it.

That's about it. Nothing exciting till I get back to work. Have to interact with my new counterparts L and J. It's interesting they hired another trainer with me. Wonder what prompted that decision. I'm glad though cause I really really really liked the one they hired. We'll get along great.

Going to take Johnny to see Zathura tomorrow and do some grocery shopping. Might slip over to the mall to look for my new Christmas party outfit. It's that time of year again. I can't wear what I wore last year! The very idea. AND I"m spending the night in a hotel with C so we can stay out later. It's in the city this year, a very far cab ride to my house.

Ok, that's it for sh

Surprise Bowling

Asked to sub at bowling Friday night, my GOOD work friend E was there. The night turned into a total blast. Bowled 80-93-90. Not bad. We are going to take our sons bowling some weekend to practice. That was a nice way of blowing off steam for the LONG WEEKEND.

Also took Johnny to see Chicken Little, this is his 4th movie. He liked it, sits very still and quiet during them. I can never tell if he's enjoying it but I think he does.

Can't wait till the next one comes out.

Charlie got into my foundation bag (which I left out like an idio) and poured about 3 of them into the bag , luckily only got a little on the carpet. That stuff is WORSE than paint to get off skin or carpet. Yuck, I can't believe I put that junk on my face every day. Good incentive to wash my face every night. The thought of going to sleep with that goop on my skin is gross.

That's about it. Quiet boring Sunday. Then hopefully Monday night I'll have some
GOOD NEWS!!!!

Oh btw I wasn't too sore in my legs from bowling. Just my right bicep and my lower back a little. I think i built up the thigh muscle. That's a relief.

AND Johnny is starting to read!!! WOO HOO! I"m so excited by that.

HERE'S SOME PICS FROM MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW

The Longest Weekend1

Someone at work prodded me to ask the hiring manager about the time frame for his decision on this friggen ruining my life job thing. He said 'early next week' when the vp comes back from a big fu fu in London.


OMFRIGGENGOSHCANWEGETTHISFUCKINGTHINGOVERWITHALREADY????????

Phew that felt better.

I'm taking Johnny Saturday to see Chicken Little in the movies. That'll be nice.

Toastmasters Friday, free lunch that'll be nice.

I get to sleep in and relax this weekend, that'll be nice.

Laundry's done, that's nice.

I volunteered to arrange the job shadow scheduling between us and another department. Working towards that 2 rating.

That's about it.

Hopefully next time I post I'll have an answer.

till then

STILL NO WORD!

What the hell?????? This friday it will be 2 weeks since the last of the people did their presentations. How long does it make to make a friggen decision?

On to more pleasant things.

The trip to Chicago was Wonderful!!! I should have taken pictures at Jocelyn's of her front and back yards. I just loved what she did with her landscaping. We had a great lunch at Leona's. I had lasagna. YUM! I'm so glad I went up there, it was so nice to see her again. She looked so GOOD! and her house was so beautiful!

Slept like crap Friday night cause of the people upstairs kept walking around. ARGH

Saturday night by Sarah's was so much fun! Slept very good by her house, then Sunday was out to breakfast and home. VERY TIRED Sunday night and even though I got 8 straight hours of sleep I was still tired Monday. Luckily I had the day off, after a nap I felt much better.

So no more fun times till Thanksgiving vacation or the company Christmas party.

On to the Laundry! bye

My Iris Eyes are Smiling


I received a bag of Irises from a woman at work. I planted them in the backyard where the pond used to be. Then I cut a bunch of these tall white stalky plants that grow everywhere I have no idea what they are. Basically I'm trimming as much as I can before winter. That way next spring I don't have to waste time pulling/trimming all the dead crap to start planting. Also it looks much nicer. Then this morning I threw dirt on the irises out in front. Not sure why there was no dirt on them but the bulbs were all exposed. I hope the ones in the backyard do ok, that is not well drained soil at all. Wonder what I can put there that likes boggy dirt to grow in.


Happy Birthday to me!

Will post about the demo-ball, laser tag etc. I"M SO SORE!!!! and hungover. ::sheepish grin::
