My Answers!

1. Mondays are _________?
Crappy! I absolutely do not look forward to them. I hate getting up after being a sloth all weekend and starting a long work week.


2. What is your favorite kind of milkshake?
Strawberry! Although, Mickey D's makes yummy Vanilla ones!


3. What monthly bill do you most dislike paying?
Rent. $400 sucks!

2. My personal and work.


5. What color lights are on your Christmas Tree?
Honestly, this year I was way lazy and didn't put additional lights up, so it's just the multi- colored pre-lit ones that are attached to the tree :)

Getting Back To Reality

No more 4 days off from work, tear :(. I had a great Thanksgiving break and feel like I got a lot accomplished!

*Did some deep cleaning around the house; way over do and much needed. I swear, we threw away 50 pounds of crap! I just need to clean out the kitchen (been promising to do it since Wednesday, but it's cold and I don't feel like doing it!).

*Got my faded out hair, dyed to a rich, deep auburn. I LOVE it! Makes my skin look amazing and I get so many compliments on it.

*Wore my adorable crocheted scarf from Miss Michelle at The Stuttering Shell. It looks so cute and is so warm!


*Didn't really get out to do any Black Friday Shopping, but did do lots online! Proof... :)


P.S. I did a lot of Christmas shopping, but rewarded myself too :)

* Bought some retroish, sexy clothes from Torrid. I cannot wait to wear everything. It's cute, just wait!!

*I watched Water For Elephants and it was sooooooo good! Bumped up to one of my favorite movies!

*My grandma is sending me a Christmas package! I dunno what it is, but it's such a sweet gesture. I know she can't really afford it, but it's a tradition for her. I told her I loved the Willowtree Figurines, so I am hoping maybe she picked some out for me :) I'll keep ya'll updated!

That's all she wrote! Hope you guys all had a good Thanksgiving and spend time with people you love!

---------------------------------------------------------------
My Answers!

1. I really need to clean my _________?

Kitchen! Sink full of dishes, unorganized cabinets, and dirty counter tops. Who wants to do that when it's freezing though??

2. What food makes you think of Christmas?

Gingerbread and peppermint!!! I LOVE to make gingerbread cookies in the winter.

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

I am totally okay with aging, but I thin my mid 20's and 30's will be full of a lot of memories. I finally am finding myself and it's such a relief.

4. What was your first paying job?

I had a summer job and worked as a custodian- royally sucked, but the money was nice to have!

5. Have you read the Twilight series?

Nope. I'm not a Twilight fan, but eventually, maybe I can talk myself into reading the books.

Time For An Update

It's been a few days since my last post on my mother-in-law's upcoming surgery and other stresses. I figured I'd give you guys an update, in case you've been praying.

My mother-in-law's surgery has been postponed until December 5th and Josh was able to get off to be there with her. Her anesthesiologist backed out because she's so high risk with her heart conditions. Personally, I am happy it;s being moved to a nicer hospital where people will take care of her and know what their doing.

My great uncle had a stroke on Thursday. He's still in the hospital because he is still partially paralyzed and has a feeding tube. He also developed pneumonia, so he can't begin his rehabilitation until that is cleared up.

My right side of my body is killing me! Right under the ribs- almost like I've been kicked or pulled a muscle. When I breathe in, it feels like my muscles are seperating from my body. It scares me, because this pain can be associated with ovarian cysts (which I have had one in the past). It's not something I want to experience again. I am going to give it a few days to see if the pain lessens, and if not, i'll be going to the e.r. I have also been bleeding off and on for a month- not normal for me, but not unnormal either. I think it's because of dryness (no need to be more graphic then that). I don't cramp and it doesn't hurt, so I am not trying to be concerned over it. Josh thinks it could be an early side of pregnancy, but I try not to get my hopes up on it. I hope that it is, but I have been excited so much in the past and nothing. I will be taking a pregnancy test first thing in the morning, so I have my fingers crossed that it is positive.

Can I just say I am soooo excited for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Mostly, I am soooo excited to shop! I bought one of Josh's presents yesterday and it feels so good.

Also, Tiffany, if you'r reading this, I am the worst blog partner ever! I have not forgotten about you, but life's been soooo hectic. I will have your package out by this Saturday, I swear!

That's all for tonight. Please keep us in your prayers. I appreciate so much all the kind words and prayers for us in the last few weeks; it means the world to us!
