My copy of "Ravens in the Library" arrived while I was away on my honeymoon. What a wonderful present for Tom and I to come home to!

Enjoyed a nice visit with my sisters and my nephew earlier this week. Sarah and Kate came up and brought Bobby Ray and Oscar the wiener dog to visit. I had a chance to catch up a bit with my sisters and enjoyed playing with the baby and the dog. Donna was also visiting us, so she got to meet Bobby Ray. I snapped a few pictures of her with the ( Read more... )

Time goes quickly when you're busy. Trite? Maybe, but it feels true. So much to do in the next few months and so little time. The wedding plans are inching along ever so slowly. The only part of it I can seem to get Tom interested in discussing is the Honeymoon. So far, he's voting for Disneyworld. I'm hoping we can make that happen. We've ( Read more... )

Working Christmas sucks. I am also working New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I did not draw a good schedule this year.

Having trouble waking up today. My time off work expires this morning. I'm on the later schedule for my eight hour days this month. Yawn. I suppose that's a good thing today. Yawn ( Read more... )

Lazy day with Tom. He's on a "Scrubs" kick currently, so we spent a lot of today vegging out in the bedroom while he watched TV. It's not the best time of year for Tom, so I'm trying to go with the flow and see what he feels up to doing ( Read more... )

Katie and Bobby Ray are both doing well. Tom and I had the opportunity to spend the weekend spoiling him. Tom is actually really good with the baby so far. Tom, Chris, and Dad had fun watching football with Bobby Ray. He's not old enough to have any idea what football or TV are, but they seemed to think they needed to start training him early ( Read more... )

Katie's test this morning didn't go so well. The baby had moved himself into a bad position again and her blood pressure was not good. They decided to do a C-section this afternoon. A spinal was not recommended b/c of her MS, and they ended up having to knock her completely out. (which I'm sure she was cranky about) The baby is healthy and ( Read more... )

I've seen Twilight twice now, once with my sisters and once with Karen, Alex, and Kristin. I tend to have trouble being disappointed with adaptations of books I've read. This one certainly left out and changed a lot, but I still liked it better than most. Perhaps it's because Twilight isn't exactly great literature. I prefer to think it's ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a pretty busy day, so today is my day to get caught up on household chores. Karen and Christopher should be coming up to visit. I'm putting Christopher to work so he can earn the rest of the money for the x-box 360 he's been saving up to buy. I've got some bulbs that need to be planted for next spring and I'm going to teach him a ( Read more... )
