31 december Happy New YearI just wanted to get out a quick "Happy New Year" to everyone!
"See" you next year!
~ FC 19 december Christmas VacationI’ve made it through four and a half hours at work and I am literally climbing the walls to get out of here! I will be off for a total of ten days!!!! That is completely glorious to me and I simply cannot wait.
I know things are going to be hectic and that I have a ton of stuff to do but it’ll be SO much better than being here. The bad part to all of this is usually I get to leave at 4:00 on Fridays. As it happens this Friday I have to stay until 4:30 to answer phones. Talk about torturing a person! I’ll get to watch everyone leave as I’m chomping at the bit to get out. I think they scheduled me to do this today just because of that reason. They wanted me to suffer a little bit more before I went on vaca, lol.
So, how is your day going so far? Good?
If I make it through this day it’ll be a miracle! LOL
Merry Christmas,
~ FC
Only 2 and half hours left and counting…… (excluding my lunch hour) 17 december Xmas, already?Yep, it’s here already and I have no idea where the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas has gone. The worst part is my whole vacation time is already planned out and I hate it. I’d like to have time to just kick back and relax a little bit. But instead this is what I’ll be doing:
Dec. 20 – 22
Cleaning the house and getting it put together for Xmas
Dec. 23
Going to West Virginia
Dec. 24
Xmas dinner at my house
Dec. 25
Xmas at my Dad’s house
Dec. 26
Xmas with My Prince’s Gram at a wonderful restaurant
Dec. 27
Xmas at my Mom’s house
Dec. 28 - 29
DEEP BREATH – recover from above activities
Last night I finally bit the bullet and went Christmas shopping for the first time this year. I wasn’t very excited about doing that this year because we’re short on money with buying the house and all. I usually love Xmas shopping but when you don’t have much money you’re really limited as to how many wishes you could grant.
I’m happy to report that I am 99.9% finished. I just need to stop at the bookstore to pick up a book and stop at a restaurant to pick up two gift cards. That’s it! That’s one of the good things about not having much money to buy gifts with. I’m doing a “mass” gift of pictures in picture frames and a few other odds and ends. But the main gift is the picture frame with the picture inside of it.
I was also happy to find three new pairs of jeans for myself, WOO-HOO! All three pairs for just under $50 at Wal-Mart. You can’t beat that!
I’ve also been dying to bake some Xmas cookies and fudge. I bought all of the ingredients so I just have to find time to actually bake. I might start tonight!
My battle of the bulge continues. I lost 3lbs. last week and plus I found this really cool site: The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I’ve been using this site to help me through this ongoing struggle. If I make it through next week alive it’ll be a miracle! lol Come shrink your jeans with us!
If I don’t post again before I go on vacation, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas or holiday!
~ FC 12 december Trying to hang in there....There's some turmoil going on at home. I won't go into the details of it but it's really got me down. I'm not sure how things are going to be fixed but they definitely need to be fixed quickly. I can't begin to tell you the heartache that I'm experiencing over this. I talked to my Dad for two and half hours last night looking for advice and comfort. Luckily he provided both. But the days ahead are going to be bumpy for me emotionally and I only hope that things will smooth out soon.
With that being said I haven't been in much of a Christmas mood even though I'm trying desperately to cling on the small thread of Christmas spirit I do feel. The Christmas music is what is keeping me here in the moment for the time being. We're supposed to get our Christmas tree this weekend (hopefully tomorrow). I haven't done much as far as Christmas shopping goes. I'm waiting until Monday (payday). I think I have all of the gifts figured out. They're not going to be extravagent but I'm hoping they'll still leave an impression. We'll see I guess.
Today is my work's Christmas party. I'm happy because this means I'll get home early from work today. I plan on writing out Christmas cards, finish the decorating, and if there's time I'm going to start baking some Christmas cookies.
My Pappy might be coming home for Christmas, I hope to find out tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that he will. Again, we'll see.
Have a great weekend,
~ FC 08 december Been having troubles...I've been having trouble coming up with things to post about. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of writing. I'm not sure what the problem is but I just haven't been feeling inspired.
With the holidays fast approaching I've been preparing for them with decorations, cooking, and cleaning. Work at the office has slowed down a bit like it usually does this time of year. The nice thing about this week is that on Friday we are having our Christmas party and we have it during business hours. Then they let us go home once it's all over which means I get home pretty early.
I've been extremely tired lately and I'm not really sure why. I hate feeling so tired all of the time. My Prince has been waking me up on the weekends because I sleep so long. I hate that I never feel fully rested.
This weekend was a lot of fun though. On Friday after work we went to a Christmas event that had dinner, prizes, and dancing. Then on Saturday we went to another Christmas event called The Festival of Trees it's traditiont that we go every year. This year we were running a little late so we had to speed through the other parts that we usually enjoy. But overall it was a good time. Sunday wasn't too eventful. The best part about Sunday was going out to eat for dinner. I haven't been out to eat in weeks! It felt good to be out and about.
Hopefully this writer's block goes away soon and I'll have more interesting and inspiring things to post about. Otherwise you might just get "FC Unplugged" until it comes back.
~ FC 03 december BoringI’m bored. This is a slow time in my office. It’s warm in the office today too, which I’m definitely not complaining about. It’s better than being cold. They also put up the Christmas decorations in the office. I need to do that at home soon. I need this sciatica to get better though. Maybe by the end of the week it’ll be better. Anyone want to come over and decorate for me?
Speaking of Christmas, I have no idea what I’m getting anyone this year for Christmas. I have very limited funds and I missed out on Black Friday since I was visiting my Pappy. I keep looking on line hoping for a good gift idea and get it for cheap since I’d be getting it online, but no such luck so far. Anyone else find anything good?
I’m still tired all the time, which sucks. I wish I could just get enough sleep already. It seems like when I think I’m going to be able to catch up on sleep I end up being wrong. I think I was an animal that hibernated in a past life. I hate wintertime and feel like hibernating. I might even have been a snowbird. You know, the birds that fly south for the winter? When I was in Arizona I was SO happy with the weather. It couldn’t have been more perfect and it was their “winter”. I’ll take highs in the 60’s for winter.
I’m trying to stay away from sweets this week. I didn’t realize how many sweets I was eating in a week. Every night my body expects a sweet after dinner. On Monday I challenged myself to not eat any sweets this whole week. What I don’t know is that next week I’m going to challenge myself to the same thing. But, “ssshhh” it’s a secret! I don’t have a clue! lol
I think I rambled on long enough. That took me 23 minutes to type up.
~ FC 02 december This is what's been going onq My trip to Arizona to see my Pappy was great! I had a wonderful time loving him! Now I just have to talk him into coming back home to Pennsylvania. Wish me luck!
q I know everyone will probably hate me after what I’m about to say but I can’t help it. I watched Dr. Suess’s The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with Jim Carey and quite frankly I hated it. Jim Carey was simply satanic looking. He gave me the creeps.
q My sciatica nerve is still being pinched but hopefully I’ll be pain free soon. I’ve been taking some pain killers and taking it easy as much as possible. I woke up completely pain free today. But now that it’s later in the day and I’ve been walking around all over the place, I’m in a bit of pain again.
q I’m in a cooking/baking mood. I usually love it when this feeling over comes me but I’m trying to eat healthy and some of the things I want to make just aren’t healthy.
q I also just watched The Christmas Shoes on Sunday night and it made me cry my eyes out. It was a good movie. I can hardly wait to read the book.
q I had an important meeting with my President’s boss in my office today. It scary and I don’t know how well I did but time will tell. I think I did well overall but one question through me off guard.
That’s it for today.
