My h is currently in the kitchen finishing the chocolate truffles we made for this years gifts. The language when he drops one back in the melted chocolate bowl is quite funny lol. He wanted to help so have at it. I am sitting on my butt watching old episodes of Emergency.
Also I haven't seen krystee or MrsAggie around lately. Did they decide not to post here anymore?
Hi!! It is so weird that you posted this today. I had the 2015 post open and wrote a response...and then I was like, "Is this weird? I haven't posted in awhile." And so I deleted it.
I had stopped checking daily when there was a really slow period. Then I started checking in occasionally to see how everyone is doing (that sounds creepy, but I don't mean to be!). Most of my time is spent lurking on CEP because I am obsessed with the 2016 election.
But since you asked about me, I feel comfortable posting again and will start.
suzv I love cleaning my closet. I may do that tonight if I have time. The vacation sounds awesome. What shows are you considering?
krystee glad you're well. Popping in and out seems totally okay to me. There's only so much to talk about consistently here so I get CEP being more interesting. Haha.
H found out last week that he's being moved to a weekend shift next month. I've been really bummed because that would mean our days off are completely different. I decided to talk to my boss about the possibility of adjusting my work hours, and she approved me moving to four-tens so that we can have a day off together.
I have a confession. Tonight is H's shift's Christmas party. I sent him alone for a few hours of quiet. I used the excuse I need to go to bed early since I work tomorrow but I really just wanted to enjoy a glass of wine, reheat some leftover ribs and watch Christmas movies in peace and quiet. Something that has been hard with him out of work the last few months.
amaranth - I used to work four-tens and I miss it! I'm really excited to get back onto that schedule. I wasn't expecting my boss to be so agreeable to it. Haha.
I miss having the house to myself. I'm never alone here. My H works from home, which ruins my fantasy of taking a random day off and sitting for hours in silence catching up on the DVR and a good book. He's in the other room, but he comes out to chat and I can hear his conference calls. I may take a day off one of these days and hang in my parents' empty house! Bliss.
H also works from home. No matter what room he is in it is always the room I want to use...it is annoying.
I am in my fantasy football league's semi-final and it is a close game. I am nervous.
Every year my H asks if I want to join is FF league and I say no. He has won the last 4 years in a row and competing against him just seems brutal. He developed this algorithm to select his players for the draft that's different than whatever auto-draft uses. Apparently he is good at it.
I went to a what a thought was a girl's baking night with wine tonight. Ended up everyone there except me had their kids with them. So, not exactly the fun relaxing time I was hoping for. Oh well.

My H is pretty good too, he comes out ahead every year. I don't know what his algorithm is our even if he has one, but I know he spends a lot of time on the computer during football season arranging and rearranging his players and talking smack with all his league buddies. It's like a mild version of The League.
We are about halfway through our journey to WI. I'm already bored in the car haha. I was SO incredibly busy today but managed to get everything done that needed to be done prior to our trip! One of my amazing coworkers took my shift today because they thought I would need the whole day to get stuff done, SO kind!
I am mailing my Christmas cards tomorrow, sorry they are so late ladies! I have absolutely LOVED receiving all yours, it brightened my day each time I went to the mailbox <3
HI GUYS!!!!!!! pooh8402 is right, I've been super busy. I've been keeping up with everyone on Facebook but haven't been on here much.
The NICU has been super busy lately and we've had a lot of tiny babies (think 1 kg/2 lb). I haven't even had time to jack around at work lol. I've become an official spokesperson for the unit for some issues everyone has and I've been trying to get some policies changed as well.
W just turned 1 (what?) and I tried to be crafty mom and put together a Pinterest-worthy birthday party. It was a lot of fun! *poof*
I FINALLY got my floors done- for the most part. I was quoted 3.5 days and it was a 6 week nightmare. Home Depot's contracted company backed out because of possible foundation issues. I found out we don't have foundation issues thank goodness. I used a new contractor based on a recommendation and he was super unprofessional and wouldn't show up or return calls for days. The floors are in and I had them install 6" baseboards which are a Christmas present to myself. There are a couple of tiles that need to be redone because they're hollow underneath and will crack over time if they're not. My fridge also got really scratched and dented on all 3 visible sides. He says he'll replace it or refund money but I'm prepared for and anticipating taking him to small claims court. This has been a true nightmare but I'm happy it's almost over!
