blah..blah…blah

I am so overwhelmed I don’t know what to write. I have so many things going on I can’t even remember what I just ate for lunch 1 hour ago. I started working out after my little hiatus because I was sick..my body hurts so bad! I can barely move. It’s only 2:oo!

I have to go craft shopping tonight for things to make little ornaments at my event this weekend and for stuff to make our holiday cards. I cranked out 7 in an hour two nights ago.

Things are just kind of blah around here. Nothing is like WOW in my life right now. I have already blown through my christmas budget. Big surprise! I want to get our tree so bad. We had decided we were going to get a fake tree just because it is just easier. You don’t have to water it, it doesn’t die, and you don’t have to clean up THOUSANDS of pine needles. However, they are $200!. We need a garbage disposal and those are also $200 so it’s like tree/disposal…tree/disposal…tree/disposal…I’m leaning towards the tree.

I am better…it was turkey break..sorry for the lack of posts

Sorry it has been so long…I have been on turkey vacation. My office was closed Thur – Sun and I called in sick on Wednesday because I was coughing to death. I was so sick! I went to the doctor and she gave me like three different meds – feeling much better now.

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving! Mine was rather uneventful. We just went over to Austin’s parent’s house- Austin threw up the whole day because he drank himself into a stupper and stayed up until 6am on the morning of Thanksgiving. I feel no pity for him.

Anyway..went shopping on Black Friday – got more for myself than I did for anyone. I bought a new Kenneth Cole coat for $49 (originally $180!) and I got a whole outfit at Lane Bryant for $100! It was an heck of a day at the mall!

Back to the grind…work..yeah!

I can’t stop coughing…

OMG! This cough is freaking horrible! All I do is cough…i kept Austin up all night. I took the medicine the doctor called in but it doesn’t seem to be working. I am so freaking excited for two extra days off….I am going to sleep sleep sleep – well except for Friday when I am going shopping at 4am. The sad part is that I have no one to go with. Everyone thinks I am nuts for going shopping on Black Friday. But I love it! I love the adreneline (sp?) rush of running around the store trying to beat everyone for whatever it is I am buying that I don’t need My friend Andrea from home is sad because this is the first Black Friday we will not be together since we were 16 and could drive ourselves to the mall because our parents thought we were crazy! It kinda sucks and makes me miss home even more – but there is not much i can do about it.

I am still sick…I thought I was better

So..my cold has gotten worse.. Friday I was feeling so good…saturday I got up to go to aerobics class and was so sick – I coughed and coughed and coughed. Then Sat. night we went to a trukey party at a friend of mine’s house which was fun and then we went to Marco forBri’s bday. The food was very good – especially the bread! After we went to Sanctuary or as bri calls it skankuary. lol…I was so sick and not feeling well that we left early. When I got home I took some more Robitussin – bad idea! About 2am I started throwing my guts up…I only had a few sips of red wine and let me tell you red wine does not taste good going up. It was horrible. I hate throwing up – and I was throwing up everything. It was so gross…I am getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. Slept almost all day on Sunday.

I called the doctor this morning and she called in a prescription for me – thank god!

On another note: I figured out how to get Austin to finish the house…bet him money that he can’t get it done in a certain amount of time…I bet him $20 he couldn’t get this thing done in the bathroom in less than 30 minutes and let me tell you – I have never seen him work so fast in my entire life!

Someone hit my car today

So we have free parking at my work..however we are in the same building as a limo company and all of there hoosier drivers are parking in our spaces. So I had to park in a non-traditional parking space this morning and one of their secretaries hit my damn car. She just bumped it a little. But her bumper like scraped my bumper – it will buff out but my god! This is ridiculous and my bosses car got hit bad last week. She needed a whole new bumper and then this morning she backed into someone’s car with her rental car. What a cluster fu%$! I am feeling a little better today. I feel as though my cough is breaking up. Austin and I have a very eventful weekend planned. Saturday we are picking up our tile for the kitchen counter. maybe that will get done sometime in the next year! Then we are going to a turkey day party at Lynne’s house and then we are going out to dinner and drinks for Bri’s bday! What an exciting Saturday! Sunday we are going to the Evening of giving at the mall. It is where you buy a $10 ticket to the mall and then they have activities and entertainment as well as shopping discounts. Only people who have bought a ticket can go to the mall. It should be fun! Turkey day is right

My throat hurts…

I am so sleepy today. I did not want to get out of bed for work. See I was sick and then I went to the doctor and got meds. Austin then got sick and never went to the doctor because someone doesn’t have health insurance and so then he got me sick again. My body is just drained. I just don’t have the energy to do anything at this point.

Christmas is right around the corner…I have already started the christmas shopping so hopefully I am not panicked at the end. And I have started a spead sheet so that I can keep track of how much I spent, on who, and on what. I’m trying to stick to a budget. yeah right!

All I want to do is sleep and it hasn’t even snowed here yet. Just think – when it starts to snow I’m really not going to want to do anything!

This stupid blog…

SorryI haven’t written in a while. My blog has been messed up. In case it gives the wrong date again it is Nov. 13 at 3:33 pm. I was so sick this weekend. The Crohn’s was playing havoc on my stomach. I did get my craft room set-up though – so that’s good. Let the card making start. Austin and I went and picked out tile on Saturday and of course we would pick out the most expensive one. We have champagne taste on a beer budget ( a natty light budget at that!)

I am still trying to figure out a way to get some money for christmas shopping. i am so broke.

So for those of you who don’t know my bosses – anne marie and janet started their own radio show for boomer (50+ ) women. I helped them produce this past Sunday’s show and it was hilarious. We had Valerie Gibson – self-proclaimed Cougar Queen on. A cougar is a woman who dates a man at least 7 years younger than her. My favorite quote was when she said, “you probably won’t want to take your young friend home to your family because they are all dead – you’re so old!” it was so funny. Then Janet says, “do boomer women date younger for anything other than sex?” Valerie point blank says, “no.” It was great!

it’s raining…..

It has been such a quiet, peaceful day today. No one is in the office except for me and Kelly and two interns. I have accomplished so much today unlike yesterday when I spent 6 hours working on Anne-Marie’s phone. But I fixed it! I was like – I am a genius (sp?) I just don’t know how to spell the word. I am so funny.

I hope my blog is fixed my last post said it was 11/7 and it wasn’t it was 11/6. Very confusing.

I went to the trainer last night and we went over what I ate and I need to eat more she said! I only had 611 calories yesterday. I am just not all that hungry. STRANGE! But she said my body is slowing down because I am not giving it enough food. and I also need to eat more fruits and veggies. So I went home and told Austin we have got to finish this kitchen. I can not eat out every night! I am going to the gym daily for no reason. What a freakin life!

Bring on the ebay

So, in response to my last post on how can I make money to buy christmas presents? I have found the answer…ebay! I posted about twenty items on there Sat. night. pray! please! pray! I am broke! Dollaz is no more!

I have such a headache today – my brain is pouring out of my ears. I have this great dilemna (sp?) so for one of my holiday events we have carolers. I have two booking agents claiming to book the same group. What am I to do? I like both of the agents. The one is a little crazy and does drive me nuts but I do work with her often. I was on the phone for like 30 minutes trying to work this out and finally said – let the carolers decide who they want to use to book the event. What a nightmare!

Just another day in paradise…

I am sick. I had a runny nose yesterday – and today I sound like my head is stuck in a tuba. I want to be home in bed. Nothing to exciting going on in my life right now. We have our gamma phi alumnae luncheon on Sunday. That will be fun! Other than that not much going on this weekend. Saturday I am going to get a garbage disposal from someone I found on craigslist. hope they are not a serial killer. Austin wants to go see Borat tonight – It looks extremly stupid. Total waste of like $30 if you ask me. Whatever. One of my clients is going to have a Reindog parade for their holiday event. I am so excited! Ever since Halloween – I love dressing up dogs!I can’t wait to get one – it will have so many outfits.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get money to buy christmas gifts for people? As of right now everyone is getting a homemade something or other. It’s amazing how fast money goes away!
