Monday, Tuesday

Today I had too much going on! I stayed in town last night because it was stormy. I could have driven home but I felt like sleeping in a bed rather than on the floor. It is getting old! I should put the girls back in one room and I could have the other room. I would have to rig the satellite so that I could watch TV at night ~ because that is how I go to sleep. So anyway I stayed in town then went shopping this morning. I still have not picked up either of the video games that the boys want and I don’t think that I am going to. I need something else for Derek ~ even though I have already spent $100 on him alone ~ for two ticket to WWE ~ the wrestlers are coming to The Grand Citites. I got tickets for everyone ~ including my ex but we are just subtracting that from the money that I owe for the senior pictures that I ordered. I might pay him the rest in a couple of years. I would like to do that but I won’t do that to him like he did to me.

(I started this Tuesday night but did not finish.)

I went to the kid’s Holiday Concert. Does the band really need to play 9 songs? Does the Choir really need to sing 9 songs? That is a bit much if I do say so. I had to leave half way through the concert. Both the concert and my company Christmas party were on the same night. We usually have the Christmas party on Sunday so that we don’t have to worry about anyone having to work. This year it was a Tuesday so we had to bring people from the south to work the site. We didn’t have to go to the party but if we planned on not going we had to work. Stipulations! GW was also at the concert but we had already spoken during the day and agreed that we would leave at 8 o’clock. She was sitting in the chairs on the floor. I was sitting on the bleachers. Right at 8 we looked at each other then we both looked at the clock, we both stood up and walked out. Dick tried to get me to explain to him what was going on but I didn’t. (What goes around, comes around and it is coming around to him.) Nope he was not invited to my Christmas party ~ I went solo like the some of the other girls had planned on doing. One got back together with her boyfriend and one there is a story behind her date….so here goes.

N used to work for me. His last day was a couple days before the Christmas party. I had asked OpD if he could still come to the party. She said no he is no longer an employee. He was an employee for almost three years and a good employee at that. TD was single and she said that he could come as her date. So that is what they did! You should have seen the look on OpD’s face when he walked in! Priceless. Last year he was out of town but had he been in town we would have arranged for him to go to the party. We arranged for him to be at the party this year. KW brought him as her “date.” She agreed to bring him as long as he did not hit on her. She is so funny! We will keep this tradition going as long as I am with the company. I will bring him if I have to! I wish that I had been there when N and KW showed up together. I would have loved to see the looks on their faces. Maybe you would have to be there to find the humor in this but I think that it is hilarious.

At the party I got a fleece vest (XL), a baseball cap, and a fleece scarf. I will keep the scarf for myself but I am wrapping the vest and cap for Dick. He already has gifts ~ Tyler insisted that he needs new work boots so I called and asked. He said yes but he would like warmer ones yet he does not want to go back to the lace up boots. So I got him another pair like the pair that he already has. Plus I bought him sole warmers and refill packs for it. I should look for some waterproofing “stuff” maybe that would help to keep his feet dry. But what I am going to do with a XL fleece vest? It is nice but Dick will get more use out of it than I will.

I got most of my shopping done! I decided that I am going to get the video game for the boys that they want. I also need to get some little Santa gifts for the boys.

*Side note* I hate getting e-mail that is a million MB then have it be a power point or some other file that I can not open. I hate waiting for NOTHING! Would it be rude to send an e-mail to the sending letting them know that I can not open a ppt. file? Grrrr…..*End Side note* *Addition to side note*It must be a good one because I got it for the second time! Grrr….*End addition.*

I am tired! It is not even 1 AM yet and I am bushed. I am not even going to post this. I am going to turn on my blanket, get into my jammies, and get some sleep!
