janelle is home for christmas break!!! i wish i had the rest of the month off so we could hang out. i will be so ready to go on vacation by 5pm next friday.

tomorrow is mom's birthday. she and dad have the whole day planned out.....movie...late lunch at pf chang's. we're going to finish with cake and ice cream when i get home from work. dad has a surprise for her but i'm not telling what it is yet. i doubt she knows about this blog, but you never know and i don't want to spoil her day! she's going to like it, that i do know.

hey to all my people! i'm still here

boy, has it been a while since i've blogged. here's what is what:

i'm now working part time at kroger as a cashier. the budget took a little bit of a hit when i bought janelle's car. the p/t job helps ease the panicking that bills aren't going to be paid...lol. plus there is the added bonus that i'm really enjoying working there. i've had to adjust to being on my feet, but overall it's been good for me. i'm usually ready to go home at the end of my shift. my feet scream at me for relief. absorbine jr has become my best friend. i swab my feet down with it prior to going to work. the warming sensation makes my feet feel good as well as the arch supports in my shoes.

i have rung up groceries for some of my friends i haven't seen in years. tuesday i even got to ring up the groceries for my 12th grade english teacher, mrs. anderson. it was good seeing her and catching up. and age is treating one of my old crushes well. len f. came through a couple of weeks ago and i swear he is even hotter now than he was back then. that grin still makes me weak in the knees....lol.

janelle is finishing her first semester up on monday with her final exam. she will be home monday night!! i'm really looking forward to having her home. the good news is i'm off the last 2 weeks of this month and we're planning on hanging out. there is a tentative plan to go to suzy's the weekend before christmas to hang out and swap gifts.

we had a great thanksgiving with the whole family. brent and his family came down from ohio and spent a few days with us. the kids are really growing up fast. my nephew miles came up with a new name for janelle...shoo shaa. we have no idea what it means, but he looks at her, grins and says "shoo shaa". suzy entertained the kids in the back yard by helping build a fort under the deck. sounds like old times! they roasted marshmallows for s'mores and found out the kids don't like them burnt. brent has to work on that...our family has always liked burnt marshmallows. i know, we're weird like that.

i'm going to go now. i'm supposed to be going to bed early...lol. i'm looking forward to tomorrow b/c i'm get off work early, then have lunch with mom & dad, get my haircut and hopefully have time to take a nap before going to work at kroger.

oh and check out this website bakerella....a recent discovery with lots of cool ideas for cakes and cupcakes, etc. :)
