Thursday, Thursday!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We had a really great time. sunday we had some friends over and my inlaws. then monday we went to my aunt kathryns for supper, as we do every year. i enjoy seeing all my cousins and their kids and their kids! it was totally fun. the youngest is one today. she is a doll! then sunday we went to my inlaws and then everyone came to my house for supper. then we played cards until 830. it was fun!

well Markie had her scope today. she did well. she does have endometriosis. he got some out and he is going to send it off to have a biospy done. ooops, gota go, i'll be back.

WOW

It has been a long time since i posted. First i would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas. the last week has flown by! and yes i am another year older. thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! i am only 44 now. old. as. the. hills. but only in my kids eyes! lol so, i have a few things left to pick up at walmart (oh the horror!) for Christmas adn i am done. just some food stuff and stocking stuffers. Mark got me a wonderful Christmas gift this year and he doesn't even know it yet! it was kinda of a accident ordering thing off the internet, but oh well!!! lol

Have you seen the next date for the Retreat at Stamps and Scrapbooks? It is January 12th and 13th. we are gonna do 2 days, and boy do i have some stuff i want to use! i will be using some of the new prima flowers that came in in the box and also making a book to go in the box with the new webster pages christmas paper. it is cool paper. blingy and everything! to, to cool!!! I'm also gonna use a package of the fancy pants chipboard (i am forcing myself to use mine, i just want to look at it!) so i will be doing 4 projects and 5 layout classes. After this retreat i believe i will take a break from teaching (or scale down alot) so i can concentrate on the wedding and all the decorations. i am having so much fun with it so far and love doing this. i wish there was enough interest in this area for a wedding planner, cause i think i could do it!!! lol

So i have a friend, tammy, that is getting a puppy for christmas and i am puppy sitting until Christmas Eve. how fun! she is the cutest thing. markie has fallen in love with her. she is a 9 week shih tzu. OMG. and she is sooooo little. if i didn't know better i would think they cloned Chloe. lol

Markie is having her surgery next thursday. say some prayers that they find out what is wrong and everyhting goes smoothly.

I hope each of you have a Very Merry and Safe Christmas!

I Think

Chloe should be a model. lol. stupid thoughts this morning. but i was just looking at her pictures with santa and then with me and deb, and she poses so cute. could be that markie was standing behind the camera going, 'i got food, chloe, i got food!' lol and she loves her food and knows just what markie is talking about. lol. ok, so i little crazy this morning. didn't sleep alot. woke up about 330 and couldn't go back to sleep. and this is my 5th day in a row. I MUST GO PART TIME. after this wedding, i am seriously considering it. seriously. i am and have been making my case to give to mark. not that i wouldn't do it if he said no, lol, but it will be much smoother if i had his blessing. but then i think i should stay and sock my money in retirement. decisions, decisions. adn i could just go part time for a couple years (yeah right). so i must quit thinking this morning and just work.

AWWWWWW!

Here's a picture of Chloe telling santa what she wants for christmas. she is sooooo spoiled. rotten, rotten dog!


and here is one of me & Chloe and my friend Debbie and her poodle/shih tzu Zoie. she is sooooo sweet too. she is such a pretty color. she's not near as rowdy as Chloe is. (Zoie, not Debbie!) lol

I should've

called in today. i feel lousy. did yesterday too. must be the weather. my teeth hurt. my head hurts. my throat hurts. i guess you could call it the se mo crud. lol but i want to whine a little. so i did. i'm done.


so did you have a good weekend? i had a good one. friday we went to mark's work christmas party. fun. not really. lol we stayed maybe a hour. got our free product and left basically. lol we're just not the partyers anymore. lol but if the right people would of been there, it would of been different. oh well.

saturday i went to patton to light my way. cool little shop that has the BEST candles around. i got santa's whiskers and christmas morning. i had the intention to give them to amanda, but i think i will keep the santa's whiskers, lol. i could always order more, we put in a order here at work about once a month. i'm telling ya, they are the best smelling candles. then me and my friend Debbie took our puppies, chloe and zoie (both shih tzu's) to petco so they could get their pictures taken with santa. how fun! there were so many dogs there. Chloe was #54 to get her picture taken. and that was about 130-200pm. it went til 4pm. it was fun and chloe got some treats outta it and two new toys. she scored, as usual. she is rotten. don't remember what i did before her. i have turned into one of those people who think their dog is human, those same people i used to make fun of. (insert rosey cheek smiley) then she got sick saturday night. could've been that 1/2 3musketeer's candy bar she ate, could've been all the excitement, who knows. but she had me worried. had to call my friend debbie (the expert, she has had dogs, heck all kinds of animals, forever!) and get her opinion. lol she was sick tho. poor baby. doesn't stop her from wanting to eat thou. silly thing.

yesterday was just a lay around the house kinda day. whoops, gotta work, i'll be back

Just One of Those Days

that you wish you didn't have to endure. the whole shooting in jackson last night. jackson. where i grew up. quiet jackson. the only time they get loud is at football games. and it is hard. My mom knows the girls brother. sad. very sad. i can not even begin to understand. what they are feeling. what went thru his head to shoot his family and kill himself. i know that God has a plan and we are not to question. it is hard sometimes. but i still trust Him. most definately.

well we found out some stuff about markie and her whole issues. the doctor think she has endometriosis. yuck and yuck. i had it. reason i had my hysterectomy. she is young, hopefully they will find something to help her out. it is just a wait and see thing. if she is still hurting and doesn't have a horrible episode between now and february he will do a scope on her. if she has a horrible episode he will do it earlier. great. IF she doesn't have anymore we'll do nothing. i hate wait and see things. and i hate that she has this. he, dr morton, says it is heriditary (sp) whoopsie. hate that. but at least we now KNOW what it is. it is not a invisible monster. but it is. kwim.

so i got my tree up sunday. it took me all day, lol. do alittle and stop. do alittle more, and stop. lol but it looks pretty. and i like it. chloe has not messed with it yet. yet. lol markie has started to wrap presents. i just need to doctor them up a bit and put pretty bows on them.

kinda blah today. i hate that. i will try and get outta of it. we'll see.

p.s. Barb you are a enabler. lol. maybe santa will leave me some cash and i will be able to go!!!
