Five on Friday

1) Good Grief, Christmas is going to be here in a week. It seems like I just started shopping yesterday. I'm almost done, I just have to do a little shopping for Brayden & Aslynn from my Aunt. She likes to send me in to do her dirty work and then reap the rewards.

2) I've tried to avoid the massive amounts of sweets that is pouring into work and I'm holding steady. One of my co-workers remarked that I could simply eat now and use weight loss supplements after the New Year, but I'm trying to change my outlook on eating, which is not easy to do.

3) I owe a belated Happy Birthday to Rory! My apologies for missing your party, I had a research paper to do, but you should be proud because I pulled off a 90 on it.

4) Happy 4th Anniversary, Colleen & John! It's amazing how time flies!

5) Speaking of time flying, Me & the Mr. will have spent 10 years together in May 2010. TEN years! It's insane to think that we've been together that long and all the things that we've made it through!

Woohoo & then no so much

1) I am finished with school for this semester. I think all I had to make on my final was a 50 to pass Anatomy with an "A" so I should be okay!

2) My all time favorite light came on : service engine soon! So I decided to pull right up to Regal Nissan & have them plug my baby in to see what the problem was. It appears that my catalytic converter had started to come apart. They said I was lucky that pieces had not been sucked into the engine yet, cause a major catastrophe! Only to the tune of $1000.00. I mean, that's pocket change, right?

3) There isn't much new going on here. I'd like to share some things that are going on with us, but for now, they stay quiet! And the answer to what you are thinking is NO!

4) Christmas is going to be small this year. We aren't buying for a lot of my family or Craig's family either. My family decided that we should focus on providing for our immediate family since the year has been tough for several of us. I am already planning on opening my Christmas Account at Redstone after the first of the year and I'm going to put $40/month minimum in it. They don't release the money to me until Nov 1, so I'll have money saved for Christmas that doesn't affect our budget or savings! I'm kinda excited!

A trip in the making

My Aunt & Uncle are frequent visitors to the beach and my aunt always talks about the fabulous Outer Banks vacation homes. She's even mentioned the possibility of purchasing a vacation home that we all can use for family vay-cay time. I'd love to have a beach home that I could run away to when we need some time to re-coup for daily life.

Yay for Snow!

Snow makes me happy. If this is the closest that I get to a white Christmas, then I am happy as a clam.

Never a dull moment

When you work at a multi-physican medical office, there is rarely a shortage of entertainment. From crazy patients, to our own jokes and pranks, you never know what to expect. Apparently this week, it was to see how many people it would take to fix the exam table to get it to lay down the way it was supposed to. I suppose it's a scary thing to consider that they asked me to come help even though I've never even touched the handles on it before. Turns out, it had a broken lever so no one was simply having a "blonde moment" and unable to work the table!
