Funky

OMG I really need to get over this funk that I have fallen into. I dont want to blame it all on this terrible inversion weather, but the weather effects me more that I can help it. I am an outdoors person and when I dont get my sunshine, fresh air and freedom, I get depressed. I do think about getting some more gear from The North Face, but even that is not cheering me up. I mean really ! Its Christmas Time and I should be happy – but I am not and I cant seem to pull myself up. eGads, I need something and until I figure out what exactly I need, life is gunna suck.

St. Nicolas

I am slowly getting into the Holiday spirit. Today it snowed a few light and fluffy flurries, nothing stuck to the ground, but it was a start.
And we put our shoes by the door last night . . . and Saint Nicolas stopped by our house a couple days early and gave us a little something. No ray-ban sunglasses, but I did get some Pumpkin spice coffee and the kiddo got a Wii game. Hard to believe that even tho the kiddo is not a kid anymore (almost 17), he still wants Saint Nick to visit.

Holiday Spirit

Wow did the Holiday fly by this year or what !? I cannot believe that Christmas is right around the corner. We put up our tree this past weekend, but I cant seem to get into the Christmas Spirit this year. This year has just been terrible, so I should be happy that it is almost over, but I just feel . . . well . . . blah I guess. No excitment, no joy, not much of anything.
Its really strange cuz I am always excited for Christmas. I really love it!
I guess I just need a Mental Check to make sure I am okay, well that and a few days vacation :)

Ready for Winter

We got the house ready for Winter the other day. Even tho it seems like Summer was exceptionally short this year, I still do love Winter.

The Fire is ready to go, the Carpet layed down so that I can lounge on the floor and the house is even clean! We got the carpet really cheap at Ikea as the one last year was pretty ugly.
We are now ready for the Holidays too. I love having a Fire around this time of the year. Speaking of Holidays, today is Thanksgiving and we are headed out to the parents for dinner Yum ! I cannot fit into my nice clothing yet (I did loose 2 pounds so far this week tho!) so I think I will put on a nice lapel pin at least.
Time to go ! Happy Thanksgiving !

Think Calm

My Gosh the time is flying by! I cannot keep up these days and I still dont have a desktop at home, so the work is piling up. Plus, I am way too stressed out and eating everything in sight. Usually I can do really well when it comes to watching what I eat during the Holidays, but so far – not very good. Winter is a time for sweatpants and sweatshirts, not fishnet bodysuit, so since no one sees me, I am slackin’ on the loosing weight part.
I need to de-stress, calm down and get healthy again. Just how I will go about doing that is the problem. *sigh*

End of Summer

Summer is finally over. We got our first snow of the season yesterday. It has been a short summer this year and I am going to miss it. I do love Winter, but this year – I wish for a longer Summer, and I think the Cat does too.

Perhaps I can find a part time Winter job to ease into Winter this year. During Winter I love to stay at home and hibernate, so maybe Webmaster Jobs would be an option. Or, I think I will just blog more. I have not had a Desktop, or Laptop for so long that I think I forgot how to type on a normal keyboard. The iPad just does not cut it sometimes!

Seaweed

We have had Seadweed for a really long time; 8 years I think. She was about 5 years old when we got her, so she is getting up there in age.
However, she is now getting a New Home! My son has well, outgrown her, so my good friend has found her a new home.
We will miss her, but I think her new Family will be just fine. Seaweed likes to walk around outside in the summer so a pool safety net is a must, plus Seaweed is used to Cats sniffing her, and she loves to eat worms. We will miss you, but are also happy for you girl! XOXO

Health Benefits

It is that time of the year again when I need to choose my Health Benefits. This year we have two choices; Cigna and UHC. The reviews I have been reading are terrible for both of them. and to top if off, my co-worker just told me that she is researching them as well and that UHC has been outsourced to India! Can you believe that?! Our Health Care has been outsourced as well as everything else. So if there was a problem with prescription drug abuse addiction, I would call India. OMG. This is like choosing between two evils!
I have no idea what to do. I first went with Cigna as it is around $500 smackers a year cheaper, but then the reviews are terrible for them so I changed my election to UHC, but now I find out about outsourcing! I have no idea what to do. I have about a week to decide, so I better start talkin’ around and researching more. sheesh!

Today is Better

Well the week is coming to an end, and things slowy but sure do eventually get better. I think the main change for me today, was that the boss came into work and I got to sit down with him and chat for a while. Sounds strange, but talking to my boss always cheers me up and makes life better. I have thee best boss and I am very lucky in that aspect.
Luckily tomorrow is also Friday. Plus, I am taking Monday off work as well. Cant get better than that! I hope to run a few errands that have been piling up; I will need the best trucking gps for that task as I swear, I have been putting this off for a while and have a lot of running around to do.
Mostly I need one of those racks that you can hang your wet clothing on. I still dont have a drier and Winter is coming, so I am going to have to hang the clean wet clothing up somewhere in the house!
