Merry Christmas from Cinnamon

Cinnamon wasn't very happy with Kaitlin :-)

We had a great time with the boys home for Thanksgiving. Kaleb came last Sunday, and Brandon arrived Tuesday night. My niece, Lenore was in town from Germany, and she and my nephew, Nick, and my brother, Terry, stopped by for a visit with the rest of the family on Thanksgiving Day. My sister-in-law Sandy didn't come, as her son and daughter-in-law and grandkids were visiting. Corby cooked a ton of stuff as usual: a brined turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, chicken and noodles, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, corn, and desserts: tollhouse pie, carrot cake and Kaitlin made a pumpkin cheesecake. All the food was yummy!

I had to work on Friday, so Corby spent some time working on cars. He changed the oil in Kaleb's car and his car. He put new brake pads on my car when I got home from work. I left around 4pm. We shut things down at 3, but I had to do the weekend classified pagination.

Yesterday morning Corby intended to go to Advance Auto to get belts for Brandon's car, which broke down Friday afternoon. However, the "check engine" light came on in his car, so he went running around with us first.
Here's how our day went:
* We visited mom, who was in a good mood
* Went to Advance Auto, Bath & Body Works and Target.
* Brought Corby home to work on Brandon's car
* The kids and I went to Walmart.
* Corby couldn't fix Brandon's car. Parts needed aren't available on the weekend.
* Lenore came over around 3pm.
* We decided to take Kaleb's car to Tires Plus and get 2 new tires for his front end before they headed back today.
* Kaitlin rode with Lenore to the movie, while Corby, Brandon & I followed Kaleb to drop his car off at Tires Plus.
* Met Kaitlin and Lenore at the Warren, and saw UNSTOPPABLE with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Excellent, INTENSE movie!
* Took Lenore and the kids to Abuelo's for dinner
* Brandon's friend Brady came over to the house and the boys played video games the rest of the night
* Started the boys laundry
* I crashed!!!! Long day!


Today has been a bit more peaceful. Brandon rode home with Kaleb and we'll take his car up next weekend, assuming Corby can fix it.


Back to work tomorrow, UGH! But, after this week, I'm on vacation the next two Mondays!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
