Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy and Pain

Hey everyone!

Well, we'll do the "pain" part and get it out of the way, so we can move on to Happy Stuff. Our football tema is now 1-8 with no real hope of winning another game (we have one more Thanksgiving Day against the reigning State champion.). They should've won on Friday night in Woodbridge. It was so heartbreaking to watch the last half of the 4th Quarter when we were down (and lost) 22-19 and couldn't move the ball down the field. Their defense had open season on our poor quarterback who on 3rd down got up (after being sacked at the LOS) and yelled, "Come On guys, give me SOMETHING!". Needless to say, except for my babbling to keep our driver occupied, it was a quiet ride home. Now on to Happy Stuff:

1. I survived a week without my boss. This gives me a bit more confidence and energy going into week 2 without my boss. I can't remember what I've written, but Monday he went from work to the ER with abdominal pain. Wednesday morning he went BACK to the ER with abdominal pain. They scheduled him for a procedure Thursday afternoon to remove his kidney stone. It didn't work. He's having Litotripsy tomorrow. I'm hoping he'll be back the week of Thanksgiving, or sooner.

2. I got through yesterday with hardly a thought about Neil's wedding. Must be growing up, or getting over it or something. Hallelujuh, right?

3. Got new boots! So Cute! $28 for tall boots in choclate brown at Kohl's! I almost bought them in black too, but I'm cheap! :)

4. Christmas Shopping with Kare next Saturday! More than the shopping, is the spending time with Kare! I can't wait! Got the count down in the office! YEA!

5. Getting my car washed and cleaned inside and out....FINALLY! Now, it did cost me $15 more than I thought it was going to (I couldn't go to the $5 one I had a coupon for because of killer traffic) AND they did do a shoddy job with it, but there's no longer layers of dust on my dashboard and for that I'm happy!

6. Still being in bed at 11:30am. It's a beautiful thing.

7. Jill's home for the weekend. It's been fun having her around. Even got her hooked on the Pandas! :)

8. Halloween candy. I've been very good at not eating the tons of leftover candy we had. I keep taking it in for our athletes in the training room and not even eating it there. Today, I broke down and had two Reese's PB cups when I went downstairs to get my computer. Breakfast of champions. Yum!

9. Bertucci's rolls. I ate two of them yesterday at dinner. Yum! They'd be better with mounds of butter, but they're not too bad with the Olive Oil stuff.

10. Updating my blog, which I felt I haven't done forever. Hope everyone is well!
