Blessed Christmas!

Here's hoping everyone's Christmas was as great as ours.  We did the hustle and bustle again in Oklahoma but we had a great time at our four or five different destinations.  My heartburn did spoil some of the fun (actual sleeping at night!) but I am looking forward to catching up this weekend for the long holiday with nothing to do and nowhere to go!!  Plus, the stress of the holidays is behind me.  Heartburn.......you can go away now!

We received many great gifts some of which include a very nice cookware set, a Corningware set, Pyrex glass storage containers, bamboo spoons sets, silverware set for 12, wonderful blankets, Ugg Boots (!!), Viva La Juicy perfume and lotion set, my  OU Sooners pillow pet (which I LOVE), gift cards, cute socks and oh so much more!!!!!  And those aren't even the gifts I am so very thankful for!  Truly blessed this holiday season.  I think the fact that our family visits were enjoyable was one of the best gifts.  It's some of the non-materialistic things that are the best.  My daddy did keep my princess status up though!  One day I hope to pass down the crown.  What a great gift that would be!

Here's to a healthy, happy and safe 2011!!  Health being at the top of the list!

Internal Clock & A Wonderful Christmas Party

Well, I still woke up at 6 after my last blog.  The next day it was 5!!  What the heck!  Thankfully I was able to go back to sleep for a bit.

This last week was a crazy week.  Rusty's birthday was Monday and he got some really GREAT gifts.  I didn't do so bad for him myself!  We made a quick trip to Oklahoma for a funeral.  It was a very emotional day and was hard on us both I believe.  Not ready to venture back down exactly one week later but you do what you have to do.  We wouldn't have missed the funeral of a really great person.

Heartburn has become a decent acquaintance of mine.  You know, someone you see quite a bit but you wouldn't consider a friend?  Well, that's heartburn.  I got a total of about 5 hours of sleep last night.  Two in the living room in the recliner and three in bed.  I am SO hopeful to sleep in BED tonight!  And, actually sleep!!  Looks like my eating habits are going to have to change a bit!

I don't think I blogged about our wonderful Christmas party for work!  Our party was at Precision Valley Golf and our meal was catered in by The Bakery Shop; Filet Mignon or Pecan Chicken and it was ALL delicious.  They also gave away great prizes and I won the big one!  A 26 inch Vizio LCD HDTV!  I felt like I had been called down at the Price is Right.  It was so awesome.  Then we also got a Christmas gift!  It was great.  I have never experienced such a wonderful Christmas party.  I truly hope I never forget what it is like to work somewhere that doesn't really appreciate their employees nor show them that they do in ANY way.  Being told that you are appreciated is enough, but this was icing on the cake!  Again, I am so very thankful for my job!

*Yawn

Yep, I'm tired.  Sleepy.  Feel like I could sleep for days!  My internal alarm clock is set to 6 am NO MATTER WHAT.  It was midnight last night when I fell asleep and I had the opportunity to sleep in a little and nope, 6 am!
I'm hoping to sleep until at least 7 in the morning!

Good night!

Daddy's Little Helper

Rusty was putting together a cheap little cabinet we bought for my bathroom.  He looks down for his screwdriver and Dagwood is sitting right in front of it.  Rusty reaches down to grab it and it's ice cold!!  Apparently Mr. Dag took the screwdriver outside and brought it back just in time for Daddy.

He's a good helper.

Rawr

My tummy has said "Rawr" for the last week.  Heartburn or whatever, it has sucked!  I am finally feeling better!

Rusty got a wild hair and we ran to Salina on Saturday for a little, and I said little, Christmas Shopping.  We didn't do too bad and ended our long trip with a wonderful steak dinner.  It was much deserved after not eating all day!  Presents are wrapped and under our little tree.

Now I'm off to bed for what I hope is another heartburn free night!  And, yes, it's only 9:03!

It's Time

Many of the situations we find ourselves in are a direct result of the actions, reactions or lack thereof on our part. Before we blame our situation on this, that, or whomever maybe we should look deep inside and learn what we could have done differently. At some point, we have to become responsible for ourselves and the decisions we make.
