Jingle Bells

Had a busy week with work and Christmas parties! Always fun to party with your co-workers. Things were going along great, the boss made a speech about how we are all family, etc. and then thirty minutes later a fight breaks out between significant others (boyfriends of employees) and the party is over! That was on Thursday night.
Friday- I went to surprise my Grandma on her 91st birthday!!! Her birthday was actually on Saturday but I couldn't make it on Saturday and she doesn't have access to a phone at the rehab hospital. She loved the surprise! It was fun, I took her a singing balloon and mini cupcakes with candles! Nice visit.
Stopped to have dinner with my dad on the way home. Friday fish fry in Wisconsin! Nothing compares! (well, that's not exactly true- one of the best fish fries ever was at Stoke's cabin in MN)
Saturday was the hospital Christmas party. THings went well except we had a terrible snow storm. Horrendous roads on the way home! Total white out! For you southern readers, that means it is snowing and blowing so much that when you look out your windshield all you see is white!!! Tense drive home but we made it safely!!
Yesterday- we watched football, cleaned house, did laundry, etc. Go Packers! Another win and another record for Brett Favre! Sports Illustrated Man of the Year!!! How awesome is that! We are so excited we might try to go to the game next weekend! Yeah!

Holiday Cheer

What a week! Very busy and on top of that we had snow/ice two days this week - making travel difficult! Oh well. Yesterday I was TGIFing! We went to a holiday party last night and had a good time! Today we are off to the city to see Jersey Boys and partake on some fine dining!
Next week is my company's Christmas party.... I need to bring either an ornament or CD for the gift exchange. Any suggestions on a CD's?

GoodBye Clutter, Hello Organization

YEah!!! I spent several hours today cleaning up clutter!!! Feels really good! Got rid of a ton of excess paper, magazines, newspapers, etc. Organized my work papers and bills. What a boring but important accomplishment!
Now onto cleaning the house! I cooked (well, really it was Aaron) a turkey the weekend of thanksgiving and discovered yesterday, when trying to bake something else, that the turkey dripped on the bottom of the oven creating a burnt smelly smoky residue. So, I am cleaning the oven today!! Exciting! Tune in for more craziness!!!
