Huh?
I stopped at McDonalds on the way to work for a coffee. After I ordered the woman asked "would you like hash browns with that?". I was irrationally amused by this. I kept picturing myself dipping hash browns in my coffee. That's it. That's my story. How are you today?
Re: Huh?
Now I want hashbrowns.
I'm off til Jan. 3!!!! I have about 40000 things to get ready today and tomorrow, though. I have to decorate cookies, bake brownie cookies and more chai gingerbread bars (um because we ate most of them), then Tim volunteered "us" to make dips and apps for his brother's house. Except he's working all week, so I get to make everything. He's lucky I don't mind doing this stuff.

And now I hate you. I hope you're satisfied.
I'm sick. When Bethie and cmc mentioned that they had the shakes the other day, I thought, hmm, I've never had that with a cold before. Yep, I woke myself up a few times shaking so much last night. But I decided that it would look too suspicious to call in sick today when I'll be off tomorrow and Friday. Booooooooo.
I'm pretty sure I caught it through this here series of tubes.
I bought a cheap ass bottle of whiskey as part of Brett's Christmas present last night, and I could feel the judgement of the poor girl drinking cheap booze alone on Christmas. Sad looks everywhere.
The nerve!

That sucks, SB. Hope you feel better soon. I felt better after a day too.
One of our heat zones stopped working yesterday, no heat in our bedrooms right now, awesome! Luckily, there are a couple extra parts in the basement that appear to be what's broken, so at least we won't have to buy anything. I have complete confidence in T being able to fix it, but I'm afraid that he's going to screw it up.

I had the same thing happen to me at McDonald's yesterday. I bought a sausage biscuit to go with my coffee.
Ian got a $500 savings bond in the mail yesterday, but we don't know who it's from. I suspect it's from someone in my family, because they've been buying him bonds as gifts. Fran thinks it's from his mother, even though her gift of choice is usually a crisp $10 bill.
God, don't you hate that?
Was she wearing a battery pack, too? I wonder what the heck it was plugged into.
We're having a juice spitting kinda morning over here. There have already been 3 time outs in my house this morning. I don't understand why he does it.... He takes a huge sip of juice and dribbles it out on the couch, or his lovies, or even the front of his shirt. It's almost ritualistic in the way he does it.
DRIVES.ME.INSANE.
Later today, I get to venture out into the world by myself with 2 kids. Lauren has to have an ultrasound done on her kidneys and Pete is in Albany. So, there's no one here to watch Alex. Bonus: the ultrasound starts at 1:30... delicious Alex nap tap.
Wish me luck, kittens,
I spent most of Monday night on the bathroom floor feeling like people were kicking me in the stomach. I finally threw up at 5:00 and felt much better. I had been [thisclose] to making myself vom because I was so miserable. :-(
On a less barfy note I got my Nook!! We did my family's Christmas last night since we're all splitting up to go to our respective in-laws. The only minor bummer is my parents picked out a Kindle cover (which should still work)...but...it's dumb. I always feel bad exchanging things even when people say, "Feel free to get something else you really love!" My dad was so cute explaining that he picked out the cover because he thought I'd like red (which I do...just not that style) so that makes me feel extra guilty. Ugh. But YAY I got my Nook! :-)
I'll be working every day but Friday this week. Same for next week. No breaks for me. But, on the up side, I'll have banked 5 weeks of vacation on my next pay cycle.
Neil Diamond is trying to ruin Christimas. I got a gift from his store for the person I drew for secret santa (locally) and it said it would ship on the 15th when it came in stock. Well, it didn't ship until the 18th and the email I got said it won't arrive until the 27th. The exchange is on the 26th. Why you gotta waste my flava like that, Neil?

Oh Hezz, Maggie does this dribbling business too with her milk. It makes me effing crazy. CRAZY!!!!! It's so gross.
Do you have a carrier you can put the babe in and strap Al down in the stroller? That was my go-to move for transport the first 5 months or so. You can do it!
Aw Hezz, I can babysit if you need me!

Usually I arrive at work before my boss.
Last night I couldn't sleep at all. Slept through my alarm today, not just a little, until an hour past when I was supposed to be at work. Which of course has never happened before. On top of it, after my boss left yesterday, one of the brackets on her wall shelves randomly broke and half her huge wall of shelves crashed to the ground. I picked everything up and semi-organized it for her. But then she came in this morning to see everything in her office neatly organized on the ground and me nowhere to be seen. I called her in a panic apologizing for not being there, telling her what happened with the shelves, and told her I'd be in soon and the building maintenance guy would be in soon to see about the shelves. It's a good thing I have a nice boss, but holy balls, I feel like the worst employee ever.
I was going to ask to do my employee review tomorrow before the holidays too. This day sucks really bad.
My mom saw a report on tv about my industry earlier this week and promptly called me to ask me if I have private industry information I can share with her financial advisor. When I told her that's illegal, she got huffy. There's really no end to her absurdity.
I'm only off on Friday, so I'll be around today. But I won't be sharing my holiday decorations because I have none. Maybe I'll try to share my neighbors' decorations instead. They're real purty.
But speaking of you in my house... I'd love to have you guys over to meet the wee babe. I realize these next few weeks are going to be crazy, but when things die down in the new year would you local gals be up for a small GTG?
Good luck Hezz!
I love McDonalds hash browns. Mmmmmmmm.
I had an ENG test done today (http://www.webmd.com/brain/electronystagmogram-eng ) so I'm still a little woozy and I have gunk all over my face from the electrodes. Having electrodes ripped off your face hurts like a mutha.
But anyway, I guess there's some concern with my ability to track moving objects (in this case, a red light on one of those LED board things they usually put scrolling messages on) with my eyes and it may be related to whatever happened 4 years ago when they thought I had a stroke. So I'm a little freaked out. I go back January 6 to go over the results.
I'm also disappointed because they offered to flush out my ears, but the doctor wasn't available right away so I didn't get it done. I love that feeling.

Maybe your mom's just a big Martha Stewart fan, Nov!
Hezz, I would be!
