TPT
Lore only has 30 minutes to play on the computer today cause her DH is home and wants a computer-free day. So she won't around today, but she convinced her DH to let her post, hehe.
Post in third person, and tell us a good thing and a not so good thing about the past 24 hours!
(We all know what Breanne's good will be!! Congrats again!)
Re: TPT
Kim's bad thing is that she officially hates money! It is so impossible for her and DH to get ahead even when they are on a tight budget. Unexpected costs came up in the last 24 hrs. Looks like it will be a credit card Christmas.
Kim's good thing is that the days are counting down to the winter break! Only 6 more days after today so every 24hrs that passes gets her closer to time off.
Good: Lore gets to spend the day with her DH and be lazy! He has worked for 7 days straight.
Bad: Lore had yet another uncomfortable night. She thinks this will be the norm from now on. Sigh...
Good: Lauren only has 5 more days of work until her vacation.
Bad: Lauren is annoyed that things are now coming out of the woodwork at her job and there's even more work to do. She can't say she's surprised though.
Good: Sheri saw what she is getting for Christmas from her DH on the receipt he left on the bathroom counter WOOT WOOT! She's excited and will promise to act suprised when she opens it. It makes up for all the money she spent on him for Christmas. Also Sheri only has 7 days left until her holiday vacation!
Bad: Sheri saw what she is getting for Christmas from her DH on the receipt he left on the bathroom counter. He doesn't know she knows, but she still feels bad that she read the receipt (hey, how was she supposed to know what it was from).
Sheri is super excited for Breanne as well and has loads of SBD for her!
Good: Lorelai sent a pic card to her sweet ole Granny's ole Beau (her Granny passed a few yrs ago, but G's BF was a sweetie!). Ma went to visit him the other day and I just got this email from Mom" ...I visited Mr. Ph yesterday and he was eager to show me something as soon as I came into his quarters. He had an envelope with the words "Surprise, Pat" written on the back. He was so excited. It turned out to be your picture card and note. It meant a lot to him. " That just puts a warm fuzzy in Lorelai's heart! He's probably at the old folks home hitting on all the old ladies-he's so cute!
Bad: BM wants to get us a Wii.Lorelai does not want one! She swears, on Christmas Day, if BM gets us one Lorelai doesn''t know what She'll do! WTH-BM has no $ and yet spends, spends, spends!..Lorelai doesn't get it. She's getting a candle from Lorelai and DH.
**Hope Lore finds a good sleeping position and has a great-no computer-day!**
The Good: Sierra is going friday to sign the paper work and pick up the check form the lawyers office from her wreck. Just in time for Christmas!! Putting it in the bank Saturday and then paying off her truck loan Monday!! YIPPY!!!!
The Bad: Sierra and her DH decided that they would not buy gifts for each other this Christmas, only little stocking stuffers, because money is tight. And even though they will be getting a little back after paying their truck off, Sierra would really like to save that money to fix up their house to sell it!!
The Ugly: Sierra and her DH found a lovely house, not to far from town but with nice flat land for horses. BUT... Sierra's DH doesn't want to sell their house right now because he knows they can fix it up a bit and get more for it. Which Sierra agrees with but Sierra doesn't want said house to slip through their fingers.
Lorelai is highly amused by this!!!
Good: Hunter slept for Rachel until 4 am then again until almost 7 am!
Bad: Rachel is slowly starting to realize she has to go back to work and its absolutely heart wrenching. Last night her DH and her got in a tiff about whether or not they could make it on one salary or one and a half salaries. Her DH is a spender and doesn't want to cut back on anything. Rachel understands but really doesn't want to leave Hunter in daycare
Good: Cassie's family is coming to visit for her little brother's graduation this weekend. She's researching body paint so she can paint the letters of his name on J's, sis', bro's gf's, and her stomachs.
Bad: Cassie slept for about 3 and half hours last night. And now she feels really ill. She's regretting going to work because now she's too dizzy and nauseous to ride the subway back home. Damnit.
good: Kristy's DH called off work today and made her french toast for breakfast!
bad: Kristy has a hard time getting work done when DH is home. She really needs to finish her website by tomorrow because it's due thursday!
Good : Kirsten and Hubs had one of those days yesterday where we really connected and were grateful to have eachother. Kirsten and DH stayed up till 2 am talking.
Bad: Kirsten really wanted to sleep in, but her crazy dogs were ready to get up t 5:30 am
Good: Hudy's only has 3 more days of work left then all of next week off. And the next 3 days of work will be easy. She has meetings sucking up lots of her day and is going shopping for their work Chrsitmas angel. Plus, her boss is off Friday so it's a complete d!ck around day =D.
Bad: Hudy's actually feels worse now than she did last week. The NP she visited told her to come back Thursday if she wasn't better from the anitibiotics he prescribed her.
Good: Patty's football team won last night, and although it's still kind of a longshot for them to make the playoffs, it just made her week
Also good-Patty and her DH are doing well money-wise and she won't be broke during her holiday break like she usually is! Last good thing- Patty sent out her X-mas cards today!! Patty is in good spirits these days and is feeling very blessed.
Bad: Patty has 6 more work days after today, Patty is counting down the days like Sheri! Also bad- Patty has no clue what to get her DH for X-mas, she wanted them to keep their own money and shop for themselves, but her DH wouldn't go for that.
Patty also wants to thank all her Christmas card sending Novembies!! Patty loves coming home to more cards that brighten up her day!
The Good: Everyone knows about the really good. So here's:
The Sweet: Breanne's DH didn't want to wake her when he went to work this AM, so he left a note on her sink. "Have a good day you two. I love you." Awww.
The Not-so-good: Although Breanne did get one thing on her dream gift list, she is not getting the puppy. But there is an up side. Breanne and her DH are on the waiting list for a puppy with the breeder. So Breanne is really excited that the new year will bring her the puppy she's been wanting.
