December almost over?

I can't believe that 2012 is almost over.

We've had a busy December, as one would expect. I had some time off the first part of the month, and then was able to take Christmas Eve and today, the day after Christmas, off. 

We had a good holiday. Kaleb came home on Friday afternoon, and the kids and I went to the Wings game that night. They beat the Missouri Comets, and finally look like a team! It's been a rough beginning to the season, but hopefully they are on their way to some great wins!

Kaitlin and Brandon went to the Shocker's baskeball game on Saturday night at Intrust Arena. Kaleb, Melody, Corby and I went to dinner at Abuelo's and then came home and played SkipBo and UNO. Great fun!

Christmas Eve was fun too. All my siblings gathered at the clubhouse where Mike & Diana live. Terry & Sandy came after a long day of driving back from Indiana, where they had spent the weekend visiting her family. Michelle came by later, as did Ryan. Melody, Diane and Colin came, and we had some great junk food: turkey meatballs, Asian slaw salad, jalapeno poppers, great dips, etc. I got two copies of The Amazing Spiderman in Blu-Ray, so I'll be exchanging one of them for something else - perhaps Jaws in Blu-Ray? All in all, it was a fun evening.

Christmas Day was spent with just us and the kids. Brandon spent the night with us, so Santa could visit :-)

We slept late, Kaitlin and I fixed Cinnamon bits for brunch, and Corby fixed an awesome pork loin and roasted veggies for dinner. We also watched The Expendables 2, which Corby got for Christmas.

Corby and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary today. Hard to believe it's been 25 years! Wonderful, glorious years! I wouldn't change a minute of our lives!

Kaitlin and I went shopping while the guys went to see Django Unchained at the Warren. Kaleb left for Manhattan after they got home from the movie. We're sorry to see him go, but glad he will be back in a few weeks for Lenore's book launch of Level 2 at Watermark Books.

Back to work tomorrow, for 2 days. I think I can handle that.

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!
