What the...

(source)

This is my mood today, ya'll. I don't know why. If anything I should be bouncing off the walls this year, but I'm not.

On this day last year, I kissed the Hubs goodbye and put him on a plane back to Iraq. This year he is home, and we get to celebrate a new year together. I'm thrilled and feel horrible guilt at the same time. I've had such a blessed holiday season (Thanksgiving - New Year's) spent with dear friends, family and the Hubs while I have friends who have spent the holidays without their hubbies. With each day my heart has gone out to them remembering what it was like while the Hubs was gone. Perhaps this is part of the reason for the dark cloud hanging over my head, I don't know. Maybe it's because all my best friends are out of town. Maybe it's because I'm pms'ing like a mo fo. Maybe it's because realistically I know this is our first and last New Year's in our current town - this makes me sad and happy at the same time. All I know is - I'm acting like I've already had to much party, and the party hasn't even started yet.

P.S. The party is at our house. There are like four people coming. I swear it's not going to suck. Drop by!


UPDATE: Day just got better - I have 7 followers! Haha hey I take what I can get. Amanda over at MODG has been cracking me up and making me smile for weeks now. Check her out!

What's The Point?

Someone please explain to me the point in working this week? I'm sitting in my office yahoo chatting with my boss. Why? Because all our customers are off of work this week. So here we sit with nothing to do - fabulous! I'm running out of things to do. I have:
1) Stalked everyone on facebook
2) Shopped all the Year End sales from the 100 email brochures that I have received
3) Texted the Hubs and friends
4) Come up with several get rich quick ideas that turned out not to be so quick
5) Debated the validity of us getting snow tomorrow

I'm running out of things to do. Any ideas?

Incredible Christmas

The Hubs and I have spent the weekend traveling visiting family and friends. We got truly spoiled by both sets of parents. However before we headed out on Christmas Eve, the Hubs and I exchanged our gifts. The hubs was really excited about his Blu-Ray player. I was totally shocked by what he got me. First I wanted to share a picture of what our house looked like at Christmas. Bailey is sitting on top of the couch cushions. Isn't she cute?

Ok back to gifts! The first package that I opened had a hot pink travel pillow in it, so I knew we were going somewhere. It also had a ballet Christmas ornament in it. I've been getting ballet ornaments for years, so this was not a surprise. However in the next package was The Swan Princess. Ya know the Disney animated movie? I love Disney movies, but I found the choice to be a little odd. I was thoroughly confused at this point. The last thing for me to open was a card. The Hubs had specifically said to open it last. Inside the envelope were hotel reservations and tickets. The hotel reservations are for a hotel in Times Square, and the tickets are to see the New York City Ballet perform Swan Lake.

It has always been my dream to see the NYCB perform, and Swan Lake is one of my favorite ballets! Even better - we are going over Valentine's Day weekend. The Hubs and I have not spent a Valentine's Day together in three years so this is an extra special treat!

Anyone else get an extra special and surprising Christmas present this year?

Twitter

I don't Twitter, but I'm tempted to join just to follow this guy. Hysterical!

True Blonde

The owner of my company once called me "the smartest blonde I've ever met." That ladies and gents was before the past weeks debacles.

While driving to work last week, I kept feeling my clutch stick. Yep I'm cool and drive a manual! Anyway said clutch feels like it's sticking, so I text the Hubs "must take car in to shop." Two days (yes, two days) later, I discover that the sticking is do to the floor mat being in an awkward position. Doh!

This Monday I gave myself a minor concussion. Mom's a nurse - she concurred that it was a minor concussion. How did I do this you ask? On the microwave! Yep the microwave door was open, I bent down to pick up the food off of the floor that had just gone flying off the plate being pulled from the microwave; stood straight up (at full speed) forgetting that the microwave door was still open, and bam, my head massively connects with the corner of the microwave. 24 hours later my eye socket and right side of my head FINALLY stopped hurting.

Please feel free to laugh at me...the Hubs, my boss, my bro and my besties all have laughed at me! I'm just glad I could help bring joy to other people's lives, even if it requires the sacrifice of several hundred of my brain cells.
