This week has seriously gone by so slowly. I am ready for the weekend, people!!! So, in my effort to avoid doing anymore work and make the weekend come quicker, I thought I'd blog about whatever comes to mind.
- Remember my rant about 2009 being the worst year ever? Well, I have even more proof that this is a true statement. Including my boss, there are 7 people on my team at work. 3 of my teammates had a death in the family this week. Yes, 3 of them. Tonight I am going to a wake for one of them :-( In addition, I've heard of 3 other people in my department at work that have experienced the death of an immediate family member within the past 2 weeks. Is this seriously not the worst thing you've heard in a long time? 2009 needs to get it's behind out of here!
- On a much lighter note, our trip south is going to be quite an extravaganza! In addition to spending quality time in our beloved city-away-from-home, Sarasota, we have booked our tickets to spend 2 days in Key West. In case my constant talking about my trip didn't give it away, I just want y'all to know that I absolutely cannot wait to go!
- I totally snagged the deal of the century on the last Christmas gift I had to buy. I've been stalking the Internet since the day after Thanksgiving for a good deal on a pair of Chippewa Boots for my little brother. Leave it up to him to pick a pair of $180 boots as his one and only item on his Christmas gift list. Anyway, after weeks of coming up empty (best deal I found was $145 before taxes), I found a coupon yesterday that got me those babies for $79!!! In case you aren't good at math, that's a $100 savings! So, in addition to getting an awesome deal, I can now say that absolutely all of my Christmas shopping is done!
- Christmas is in full swing this weekend...a party tonight and a party tomorrow night. In addition, we have to pay a visit to my father this weekend for a slightly belated birthday celebration. BTW, Happy Birthday Daddy-O!
- I had a slight freak out the other week because I found a small lump on Bailey's side. Naturally, as any devoted dog mom would do, I rushed her to the vet to have it checked out. We found out that she has a Lypoma, a harmless fat deposit that Labs are known for. Thank goodness nothing is wrong with my chocolate baby!
- There is nothing better in this world than heated seats in the winter. Every day when I drive to and from work I wonder how I ever lived without them.
Well, I think that's enough rambling for one afternoon. Have a great weekend!
