Pass the Champagne. I'm ready for New Year's!

First, I hope everyone had a good Chrismahanukwanzica season. Mine went well. Susan and Sarge spent the holiday with Mom, Dad, and myself in the country. It was nice. Sarge got a 2 new bones, an ornament and a rope. It was too cute. On Christmas evening, Mom and Dad had some of the neighbors and Gil and Victoria come over for dinner. Everytime someone new would come in Sarge would show them his new bone. Kind of like a kid saying 'Look what I got, look at what I got.' Then he would drop it to the floor and make a big thud. It was too cute. It will be really cool when Peanut has his first Xmas. But it was nice to have everyone out and share the warmth of the holiday. I had to work on Xmas eve which sucked. Half the calls I had where for liquor stores and one call for a strip club. Speaking of liquor, what is everyone doing for NY's? Other than that not much else is going on. I better get to sleep. I will blog later. Have a good weekend.

And Ameren said "Let there be light"; at least for fifteen minutes anyway

Greeting and Salutation one and all,

I hope that you all are staying warm, especially now since the weather is reeking havoc with the freaking furnace. I don't know about ya'll but fuck it's cold outside. Our electrical situation has been interesting to say the least. Sunday, I wake up and it is a little chilly in the house. Look around, all the clocks are out. Call Ameren and received the obligatory, "Due to the high number of outages in your area" blah blah blah. Called Mom and Dad, sure enough, they had no power either. So I packed some clothes to last me the next few days and head over to their place since they have the fireplaces. It was fun not having power though. Dad was in full survival mode. He was getting out batteries and lanterns. We were having drinks listening to holiday music. It was great. Around 3:00 p.m. the electric comes back on. I spent the night at Mom and Dad's. Monday morning, around 4, the power decides to go back out again. Not only this, my lovelies, but my car is a solid block of ice. After a half hour of literally trying to karate kick my doors open, standing on an inch of solid ice (which I do not recommend anyone to do) Mom gave me a ride into work. Dad comes and gets me and we proceed back over to their place. We stopped by the gas station and they had power. Mom and Dad's, sans power. So I come over to my place and in He-Man fashion I HAVE THE POWER. No seriously I had electric running. So Mom and Dad spent the last two nights over here with me. Their power just came back on yesterday afternoon. But we didn't freeze and we're all good, so that's the most important thing.

I told you I was a bad blogger!!

Happy Hanukkah everybody,

I know that it has been a while since I blogged. I'm glad that everyone made it out for the November dinner party. It was great having everyone out and ladies the food was delicious. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Not much, as usual, is going on. I had my tests done and the doctor has me on meds right now for acid reflux. They are running test to see if I have any bacteria that I shouldn't have. Gross. Work sucks. But the good news is that I don't have to go back to work until Monday. Hallefreakinllujah!! The holidays are in full swing and I am NOT prepared. Where has the year gone? I don't know about ya'll but the crowds are a pain in the butt. Is it just me or do you need traffic lights for the end of every aisle that you go down? I'm trying not to be Scrooge like but it's hard baby. I will be glad when the holidays are over. But I would like to wish Mike a happy 30th birthday. Other than that, not much else is going on. I will try to get better about blogging more. Can't promise anything but I will try. I hope everyone has the great rest of the week.

I'm Not a Good Blogger. Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger!

Hello my lovelies and a Happy and blessed Samhain to you all. Well, let's see. Lynn, Mike, and I went to a Halloween party in O'fallon over the weekend. It got interesting to say the least. Thank you again guys for letting me spend the night. I also would like to wish Zachary a Happy 1st Birthday. Pam I will call you tomorrow. Dad is doing fine. He apparently had the flu. All of his test results came back normal. November's dinner party will be at my place. I was thinking of November 17th. If this is a problem for anyone give me a call or drop me a line. I was thinking of like a pre Thanksgiving dinner. I will be making my meatloaf since that's about the only thing I can cook. Everyone is welcome. Just let me know if you can't make it. Dinner will be around 6:00. The only thing I ask is that you bring a favorite comfort food dish. And watch out for deer when you come up. I hit one with my car the other night. Deer, car, and myself are fine. Susan, Tracy, and Jen S. let me know what foods you can't eat. Other than that, that's about it. Oh, one more thing, to those who are bringing the four legged children, you may need to bring their leash since my house doesn't have a fence. Have a great rest of the week and safe journey.

It's a Boy!!!

I'm so thrilled about Mr. Peanut. I just want to meet him. Now! It was really cool to see him on the ultrasound. I cannot thank Susan enough for letting Mom and I go. I have never seen anything like it. I must admit I was shocked that it was a boy. Boy, girl, I don't care. As long as Susan and the baby are good, that is all I care about. He is so cute. Not that I'm prejudice or anything. In other news, I went to talk to a GI on Wednesday and I have to get a upper GI and colonoscopy in November. At the same time. But Thanksgiving will be the next day, so I will gorge myself like a pig that day. Other than going to a wedding reception last Saturday where the only single men were between the ages of five and thirteen, not much else is going on. Just can't wait for this coming Saturday for Matt and Jen's open house. Is anyone else going to dress up? I'm still deciding what to be. Other than being the proudest aunt this side of the Mississippi, not much else is going on. I hope that everyone is well and that you all have a great weekend. Pam, Happy Birthday to you. I hope that it's a good one. Everyone take care and I will hopefully see you all on the 20th. Love ya.

Yeah and Crap

Hello my lovelies. Well, the yeah is that I finally got everyone's links on my blog. The crap is that the drs still can't figure out what's wrong with me. I went to get my hidascan on Tuesday and after getting radioactive, the tech said something that I hope no one ever has to hear. "That's weird." She said that my gall bladder regurgitated. Meaning that it emptied and then filled right back up again. She said that she had only seen that in two other people. But the test results came back normal. So I've got to go to a GI. Getting older sucks. Other than that not much else is going on. Work sucks ass but what else is new. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH gh

I can be such a knucklehead. I freaking missed my appointment. I had an appointment to have my gall bladder looked at on Tuesday and I overslept. My stupid alarm on my phone decided to shut itself off. So I have to wait until next Tuesday to have the test done. But at least I can now finally get back into my blogger thingything here. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember my username. Anyway, it was great spending time with everyone on Friday and Monday. Natalie is a cutie pie. I've got some pictures that I will try to get up here on the weekend. And congrats to Mike on the new job. Well, I better get going. Have a great week and I will talk to everyone soon.

Trying to think....

of something to write about. Not much is going on. I went to get an ultra sound of my gall bladder on Wednesday. And I have found out that I am full of more shit than I realized. Apparently my bowel was blocking it and the tech couldn't get a clear picture of my gall bladder. And the most embarrassing part was that it had a turd in it. After twisting like a pretzel for several minutes and nearly passing out from holding my breath, she got some decent pictures. I don't have the results back yet but she said that it was small and constricted. Whatever that means. In other news, my ex decided to get a hold of me again. He wanted to know if I wanted a copy of our wedding that was being converted to DVD. Why in the hell would I want that?! Needless to say I replied to him with a no thank you. I hope everyone is doing okay. Work sucks as usual. Although I was told that I need to work for a phone sex facility and I was asked out on a date by a guy from CA. I told him that my 3 kids probably wouldn't appreciate it. Well, I better go. Everyone take care. ?, how do you get the links up on your blog? Like everyone's link on your blog page?

Look who's blogging now

Hello Kids,

I thought that I would give this a try. After several attempts, I finally have my computer up and running. When I opened my emails, I had over 170 of them. Took over three hours to download them all. It was kind of neat though. It's amazing all the things that have gone on in the past twelve months. I had emails about Natalie's birth and Matt and Jen's wedding arrangements. Kind of like going down memory lane, only electronically. I hope everyone is doing okay. When I have more time, I will try to figure this sucker out. I feel like a monkey doing a math problem trying to figure this out. Oh well. Not much is going on here. I had my wisdom tooth pulled and two cavities filled on Wednesday. The dentist had to numb my face three times in order to get the tooth out. That little bastard wouldn't come out for nothing. I've been taking ibuprofen for the pain. The weird thing is the hole that still trying to grow in. Gross, huh? Well, I better get going. If you guys have any suggestions about this blogspot thing, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING HOLY, let me know. Thanks
