Nothing much to tell.....

Today was quite interesting - the lady I worked with on the Christmas party for work showed me a note she was sent via inter-office mail about how the Employee's Club is prejiduce and that we are lame and nothing we do is fair. OK, whatever! Everything we do in terms of games and door prizes is completely random. Ugh. Anyway, it was a productive day at work, and that's always a good feeling. Not much is going on otherwise - normally I'm sure I would have something witty to say, but I'm tired today and have a headache, so my mind is not as rambunctious as usual. We all are hoping that tomorrow they will let us off work at noon. If they do - no, wait, WHEN they do, I'll be coming home to paint the living room. I'm really excited to redo the living room, and I hope that it turns out in real life the way it looks in my head. Of course as I sit here and look around though, all I see is trim that needs to be taped up, pictures that will have to come off the wall and find a new home for the weekend, and all the stuff that will have to be pushed into the middle of the room and covered. This is why I should have had the patience to paint before we moved in. Oh well! I guess we'll see what happens!!

So far, not so good....

Hmmm...well, as I suspected could be the problem in the beginning, I haven't been regular at this but that's ok - it will get better - right?!? It's been a busy week - you know, not wanting to be at work, being sad about not getting to go to Wichita for my Great Aunt's funeral. Just a general stinky week. One of the more interesting things that has happened this week was today when I went to the doctor to get this hideous wart removed from my finger. The doctor froze it off and it was quite a fascinating process. It didn't hurt while he was freezing the thing - it was after I got in the car and my finger defrosted and the feeling came back. It's been sore ever since. I have managed this week to get the tree down and get most of the stuff off of the desk so that we can get ready to paint the living room this weekend. I also bought my first set of dishes that at least resemble China. They were made in China and prefer not to be put in the dishwasher, so I think it counts. They were on clearance at the Evil Empire (Wal-Mart) so I got 8 place settings for $12. Ooohhh.....my price range!! Anyway, it's after 10, so well past my bed time so I will go to bed for now and try this again tomorrow. =-)

In the beginning.....there was a great idea!

Hmm...so I'm totally swiping Leesa's idea (thanks cuz, hope you don't mind) but I too love to write, and I need to do better at keeping a journal but handwriting is frustrating, so why not just blog?!? We'll see how this goes, but if I do it right, it could really be fun! I can have this as my blog - all my own!! It can be girly and be all about what's on my mind and the boys can't complain at all!! Oh yes, I could get into this! It will probably take a while to get it going in the direction I want it to, but I think I can do it. Who knows, I may get carried away and start a third blog to keep up with all of the changes to the house since we have moved here. After all, I plan to spend next weekend painting the living room!! FINALLY!! But I'll go into that at another time and place. It's quiet here in the Christmas aftermath, the boys are playing, and Steve is playing with the netbook computer that I gave him for Christmas. I won it at my company Christmas party - it was the grand prize and I pulled my own name out of the box. Some said it was rigged, but I swear - I pulled my name out fair and square, and after all the working I had done to put the party together, I wasn't about to put it back and draw someone else's name. Ok, well, I did consider it for a few minutes but eventually I decided to just keep the dang thang. Why not?!?
