Good Monday Morning

I only have two more work days for the year. Whoo hoo!!

 Technically I have enough vacation hours left that I should be using them for my at home hours this week (8 hours), but I have so much to finish before Wed, that I think I will still work during the girls nap time today. Darn!

Re: Good Monday Morning

  • Hello! I should be running now but thought chilling with my feet up sounded better first.

    Gvsu, I still have your frozen foods in my freezer--you can pick them up anytime. :) 

  • Morning!

    Only 3 1/2 more work days for me this week!

  • I'm so excited for Christmas.  Let's get this work week over with!  I only have Friday off, but it's better than nothing!
  • I'm hosting a Christmas party for my mom's side of the family on Christmas Eve, which is also my mom's birthday.  Her father (my grandpa) will be there, and his birthday is on Christmas day.  I ordered them a birthday cake, and it says "Happy Birthday Mom, Grandpa, and Baby Jesus".  Smile  Hehe.  Can't wait to see it.

    Ha!  That's cute. 

  • I think I'm getting a food processor for Christmas.  Squee!!!!  I kind of want to hit up the grocery store for salsa ingredients or something just so I have something to make that morning if I'm right.

    Me too!  I can't wait for Noa and T and my nephews to open their gifts.  Smile

  • I found out on Saturday that I have a 3 year old nephew. 

    My younger brother broke up with a girl over 3 years ago who was pg when they broke up.  She claimed it was his baby, and he denied it saying she was cheating on him.  Well I guess it is his kid (they had tests done) and he got served paternity papers a week ago. I'm not sure my brother will be part of the childs life, or just pay child support, but we'll see!

    Wow!  That's kind of a lot to take in for your family, I'm sure.

  • I had a good weekend. Last night we went to Target and I pixed out the camera I wanted and Mike bought it but I cant have it yet. LOL. I have to work on Christmas Eve but will get out early. Mike got the whole day off - lucky. Found out that he is able to still take the Sunday of New Years weekend so we can spend the whole weekend with our friends up north Yeah!

  • Wop - I LOVE our food processor and that has got to be crazy for your brother.

    DesMol - That cake sounds awesome.

    Only 3 1/2 more days of work for me this year too!  We went out to celebrate my friend's 30th bday on Saturday, and although the memory is fuzzy, a bunch in our group decided to go to Vegas. :-)  One of our friend's was going and his brother has points at a time share there, so our lodging will be super cheap.  I'm excited. 

  • So much for working today, our server is down so I can't log in. I'm kind of annoyed because I wanted to to tackle a few things on my to-do list.  I guess I will have to work like a mad lady on Tuesday and Wed.

    Haha...I'd say about half of our vacation plans with friends start with a night of drinking...hehe.

    We stayed at our time share in Vegas back in May - it was a long block off the strip, but the walk wasn't bad at all, especially after a night of drinking on the strip.  Wink

    Have fun - H and I went in January a few years ago and it was in the 60's all week (I thought it was pretty much perfect.)

    Sweetness.  This is also about a block from the end of the strip, behind MGM I guess.  I pretty much let my H handle the Vegas planning and just go along for the ride.

    Hmmm mine is behind MGM too.  If it's the same one, it's a long walk - FYI.  But totally doable.

    Could be the same one, I think the timeshare name had colors in it?  Bluegreen maybe?  It sounded like it would be a small hike, which I'm absolutely okay with because we both like walking.  And since we're barely paying for lodging we could always treat ourselves to a cab or two if we so wished. :-)

  • We just went and did our's boss's shopping for his wife. Wohoo lol

    That's it.  :)  Both Diana Prince and I have stayed there if you have any questions.  It's really nice.  It's fun staying in a condo as opposed to a hotel room - the kitchen and dining area and fridge are always very handy.  Seems like we always have leftovers when we go out to restaurants and they get wasted when we don't have anywhere to store them. ;)  And I don't know how many bedrooms you'll be getting or what room you'll actually sleep in but the shower in the master bathroom that we stayed in was pure awesomeness.  :)

    We were very drunk one night and walked from Margaritaville to MGM and hopped in an Escalade (cab?) to take us the rest of the way (haha...like less than a mile) and it was a $40 ride.  Go us.  I didn't pay.  Stick out tongue

    Gah I love Vegas.  I wanna go back!
