A Week in Review

Been a busy week with the holiday, payroll, and just life in general!

This is a catch up of what's been happening with us this week.

Sunday:  We finally got our exercise bike.  We spent the evening with a fire, a beer, crappy TV and started putting it together.  We didn't get it finished though.  Cris showed up on Monday night and with the bribe of making him dinner -- he finished it for us and got it all put together.  We don't have room in the "exercise room" right now (because we got it all filled up with crap again).....so it's in the living room TEMPORARILY.

MONDAY:  My husband surprised me with a wonderful birthday present.  For 10 years I have ask the same thing every year "can we go to the Nutcracker this year?"  His response is always "no, but maybe sometime".  I have tried to pawn myself off to other mother and daughter's who have gone and seen it -- but so far no one has asked me to go along yet.  So after seeing a commercial, I once again asked and after a little thought he said "yes".  In fact, he even bought the tickets.  Yay!!! I am so excited to finally get the opportunity to see this magical ballet!  Thank you Paul!

TUESDAY:  Needed to drop something off at one of the elementary schools the other day and happened to have the top down on the car.  Passed by these 3 vultures sitting on the fence staring at me and saw at least 3 other's down in the ditch below feasting on something.  It was an eerie feeling seeing these big birds perched on the fence, and I wanted to get a closer pic -- but was afraid they would leave. 

THURSDAY:  The BIG day.  Spent the day cooking, cleaning, eating, and doing payroll (of course)!

FRIDAY:  Starting to make plans for our big Christmas adventure.  Went online last night to see if room rates had changed and found a fantastic deal.  So went ahead and booked our rooms.  Need to start making all the final plans for how I am going to boss my family around while we're in Lake Charles.  Ha Ha....no I'm not.  I want to go and have a relaxing time without having to follow any schedules or agendas.  The only appointment I want to keep is the one when they interview me for winning the $100 million jackpot!

SATURDAY:  Tonight it's the Fab 5.  We are meeting up with some friends and plan on having a fun night of dancing and just having a good time.

Whew......so that was our week.  How was yours?
