Finally, all the Christmas stuff is down and put away. I know, it seems like forever ago since Christmas, but this was our first free weekend since Christmas. Now I have all this room and I don't know what to do with it. I'm sure that won't last too long.
Yesterday, I had the day off work. I have 3 casual and 3 sick days to use before we get let go. I accrue vacation each month, so that will vary. So I took a casual day yesterday to go with my friend Jody to get Lasik eye surgery. I went with her and her 2 daughters. It was fun. The appointment was in Brookfield, WI, about 3 hours from DBQ, we got there at 10 and she got right in. Although, it took a while when she got there, but we were out of the office at 1:00. We got to watch them cut her eye and all. It was pretty cool. Her one daughter did not watch, she had her head turned the whole time. I had this surgery done about 5 years ago. It was the best thing I think I have ever done! So after the surgery, we went to the hotel, because we had to back to the doc's office the next morning to check her eyes, so we got a hotel room. We dropped Jody off, so she could rest. They like you to sleep after the surgery, this helps the healing process, so her 2 daughters and I went for lunch to Subway and then to the mall to walk around. It wasn't a very big mall, so it didn't take us long, as none of us really had much money, so we just decided to drive around. The girls found a store they liked call ULTA? This was a really neat store. I have never been in one, but I'm ready to go back. I could have bought a lot of stuff in that store. Next to ULTA was a Pier One, so we walked through there. Didn't see much in there so then, in the same shopping center was Kirklands. This is one of my sister-in-laws favorite store, so we decided to walk through it. It's been a very long time since I have been in one. I found a few things, but decided not to buy anything. I really want to buy a full length mirror that sits on the floor and they had a really nice one. But oh well, next time. So, after that, we went back to the hotel to wake Jody up and then we decided to go out for supper after a while. We ended up eating at TGIFridays. It was pretty good. Not my favorite place, but it was good. Then back to the hotel and we all got our pj's on and layed in bed. We were in bed pretty early, but it was a great day.
So today's Saturday and we took Jody to her appontment and everything is great. She's 20/20 vision! She's amazed! We got home about noon and I met Tom down at his grandparents and we did a little running around and then got home and hit it hard. All the Christmas stuff is down and put away. We are just about to eat supper. We are making chicken breast with a french fried onion crust, a new concoction that Tom wanted to try. It smells delicious. I have to go put the potatoes on.. then we are picking Brandon up from the movies and going to meet Chris and Kristi out at Courtside. I guess Matt has practice and they have part of the gym rented so we might go and hang with them.

This sucks - I'm now ticked off!
Ok, I'm super pissed. I had about 4 paragraphs wrote up and I hit the back button or something, because I am trying to multi task, but it does not seem to be working very good. I guess this is going to be short and sweet. I am chating on face book with a friend and everytime he chimes in, the blog site locks up and I have to click on place I need to type. Anyway, I was just saying...
another 6 inches of snow, no school today or tomorrow and I am off work tomorrow. I am heading with my friend Jody to Brookfield, WI to get Lasik eye surgery. I had it done about 4 or 5 years ago and she finally took out some flex spending to cover it. Since we are losing our jobs, we are still getting full benefits along with flex spending and when she is done with Thermo Fisher Scientific, well, she won't have to pay it back.. So we are sticking it to them. I hope no one from TFS reads this.
Tom is snoozing on the couch watching the BCS bowl. Alabama is winning!! Yeah.. He has an interview tomorrow, so I will let him snooze until I am ready for bed, which will be pretty soon. It's not 9:00 and it's about my bed time. I think he's a little nervous, but I know he will do awesome. I love you honey!
I should be taking my Christmas decorations down, but here I am just typing away.
I'm posting this now so I don't have to type if for the 4th time. How come it save every so often, but when I lost everything I typed, I couldn't find it. I don't get it. I'm sure there is a trick. Steph, you will have to let me know.

GO HAWKS
Just sitting here watching the Hawkeyes. They are just getting ready to kick off.
Tom and I made a delicious meal tonight. Tom was going to make Goulash, well, he made Goulash and then to decided to put the goulash in my new Rachael Ray bowls and top it with some cheese and bake it for a while. We had some garlic bread to go along with it and it was so good. We topped it off with some wine we had left in our fridge.
Great night.. No kids, just Tom and I! Oh and maybe a little baby making later! LOL

Christmas eve pics!
Here are a few pictures that Tom's cousin sent to us. She took these on Christmas Eve at our house. We had a great time and it was awesome to be able to host it at our new house!

Here is a picture I just received from Tom's cousin. She took it on Christmas eve. I thought it was cute!
Rested up!
Well, now that my brother and sister-in-law and Leah have left, I think I have finally caught up on my sleep. Although I hated to see them go!
Sunday, after eating Quesadilla's at mom and dad's and saying good bye to everyone, I was in bed by 7:00! Yeah and I think I was sleeping by 7:15! I started to watch TV, but it must not have kept my interest because I was out! I started coming down with a cold and it hit me. But knowing I had to get up the next morning at 4:45am for Jazzercise made me want to rest.
So Monday morning came, bright and early. Yeah, I was still not feeling the best, but it was great to get up and exercise. I sweated ALL the beer out and most of my cold. Work was tough though, but I got through it. When we got home Monday afternoon, we decided to call the vet for Patches, our dog. She has really been losing her hair and we are starting to get concerned, so we called the vet. The hair on her tail has been gone for some time now and every time she wags her tail and hits something, it starts to bleed, so we would try to bandage it up with some neosporine or something, but it always seems to fall off. But when we do have it on, it's kind of funny looking. So anyway, we called the vet and when we first moved to our new house, Patches got really sick, so she spent 2 days at the vet. Well, I guess she has a thyroid problem and she was on medication, but I did not know I had to keep her on it and take her back for blood work after 4 weeks. See, I can't even keep a dog's medicine right, let alone a baby one day! Oh boy! LOL Anyway, we got another prescription and made an appointment for her to get blood work done in 4 weeks. I guess she will be on this thyroid medicine for ever!
After all that, I practiced a little Jazzercise to get ready for class on Tuesday!
