We took about 2 hours of video and Harold broke it down in 15min parts.   Just click on the links and your window media will load the video.

Turkey Day!

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving and had a great meal.  We just finished ours up.  Harold’s turkey was tender and juicy.  I went back for 2nds (my portions are small) even though I shouldn’t have and knew I won’t be able to finish it.  I was letting my taste buds overrule my better judgment…..grin..but it is turkey day, so why not?

We are just having a quiet day at home.  It is Harold’s birthday.  So I also made him his upside down pineapple cake that he loves along with our pumpkin pie.  I got him a dvd on the Colt’s Superbowl season, a few xbox games & a drill bit set.

I’m feeling better on breathing….still not fully normal.  Still going through a bit of tissue…which sucks.  But I’m not using as much meds.  =)

We finally got our bedroom set!  Holy cow, I’m so glad that this came when I was home.  I have no idea how Harold would’ve handled it on his own.  It was on 2 pallets (that luckily the driver was nice enough to keep), 6 pieces with the total weight of 1500#…icks.  One piece was 175#.  We unloaded the semi on the driveway during some big wind gusts, brought the pieces in, while they were downstairs unpacked them….holy cow…we now have 6 bags of Styrofoam and 6 huge bundles of cardboard.  Of course, it now needs to stay in the garage until next week, since it is too damn windy to put it outside, and since trash day was yesterday…..lol  It took us longer to clean up after the trash then it did to put it together.  But we didn’t find any damage to the set….which amazed us.

We got it together.  Not many pieces and easy to figure out, just heavy. The bedroom seems empty with only 1 dresser……..lol  And even though I have empty the other dressers and took things from the closet shelves, we still have some drawer room….very cool.  The clothes move took me less time then I thought it would.

Holy cow, that bed is higher then I thought it would be.  With the mattress, it comes to my hip, luckily the bed came with a step stool.  But it nice as hell not to be sleeping on a mattress on the floor.  =)  It is so nice to finally have our bedroom put together.

Bed set 1

Dresser

I called and talked to my family today.  I always have to pester them on the holidays………lol….even though I’m seeing them in less then a week.

I’m starting to stress…..we have work that we need to do for our business, I have work to do with my job, plus get ready for payroll that needs to be ordered Sunday/Monday, pack, balance our books, put my tree up, get the xmas cards done and my nails….icks…freak out time.  I will be starting full steam ahead tomorrow.  Which I need to start off with going to the gym since it has been a week…between being sick and then waiting on a delivery for 2 days…gggrrr I’m not happy about that, especially since I won’t be going to the gym the 3-14th….not good.

Trying to stay out of the office most of the day and moved my laptop to the living room.  I’m going to close this and work on moving some pictures around on my hard drive.  =)

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Harold!!!

Happy Birthday Harold!!!

Still no bed

After waiting all day long I called and asked where my new bedroom set is and I was told tomorrow.

Nice…..How Do I Feel?: pissed off pissed off

Sick & Icky

This is getting old.  Supposedly our bedroom set is out for delivery…..any time after 1pm.  We’ve gotten the bedroom ready by removing everything that we could and putting the new mattress up against the wall.  I just want it get here so I can get our bedroom back together.

It was nice to be able to wake up without my back wanting to spaz out.  I did actually get some sleep last night. It was still rough with the breathing issues. I’m tired of not being able to breathe correctly, I hate the upset tummy that sinus issues gives me, I hate the horrible breath I have regardless of mints and mouthwash, I hate that my ears feel plugged and the constant tireness….yes, I am bitching because I’m miserable.

We should’ve gone to the gym, but I don’t want to go if I can’t do my 30 on the treadmill without dieing.  Plus, I really wanted to get things together for the delivery.  I bet if we had gone to the gym, it would’ve gotten here earlier.  =( I hope to feel much better for it tomorrow.
We got the old set in the other room, it is very tight, but the cats like it….more beds to sleep on.  Of course that bed is now covered with sheets due to all the cat hair it will attrack…icks.

Damn….I wish they would get here.  I hate waiting on others, it really messes up my plans…at least my focus.

A few days ago, one of the blogs that I read posted this article, more on the lighter (yet serious side) of women imagery :

First lady got back

Then on a sad note, an article on how the military still does not actually address domestic violence : Despite Army’s Assurances, Violence at Home   I remember growing up that you could always tell when it was pay day on post.  People were drinking more and there were more family fights.  =(
