I am ready for Thanksgiving! I will be flying to TX to be with the rest of the Finley fam. Two nurses agreed to work a day for me during that week so that I could make the trip. :o) Thank you Amy & Brenda!
School is starting to wind down for the semester. I love seeing the Christmas decorations around town. Yes, I know it's still November. :o) I want to crank out the Christmas music, but I'm holding back.
Has anyone heard of Jon Schmidt, the pianist? Katy, my cousin, introduced me to him. He's amazing! You can listen to him on youtube if you like. "All of me" has to be my favorite.
Have an awesome day!
I love summer :o) All the rain here has kept it cool and bright green outside. I'm really enjoying living with Katy, and our apartment is quite cute, if I do say so myself. :o) I killed a centipede on Katy's wall the other night; it is nice to have at least one tough girl trait! :o) Lots of tough girl things I can't do, but I have become the reliable bug killer in more than one apartment.
All the rumblings about the economy make me glad to have a job, and I'm enjoying the break from school! I've been taking lots of walks and reading.
Going to my cousin Bella's 1st Bday party this weekend; it should be fun! :o) My birthday's also this weekend. We have 5 family birthdays in 2 weeks time! Joanna's is tomorrow, mine's sunday, Dad's is next week, and then Torhi's. Jordan just turned 21, too. :o)
Have yourself a joyful day :o)
It's almost holiday time! I'm hoping to start shopping today (we'll see if it happens :o)) I've had a good week, and yesterday was simply fabulous. Not to make you jealous, but here are the details:
6:30-3:15 work at the med center, including FREE ice cream sundaes at 1:00 (it's 'surgery week' or something)
3:30 slightly painful but wonderful massage
5:00 join Heather and Steven, eat supper at Ms. Ruby's, then go visit older couple with her.
7:30 come home, talk to my mom who got 2 DEER yesterday, and listen how my sister literally helped Dad gut and piece it (she's a tougher girl than me...)
9:00 Katy Joan comes over, we get to visit
9:30 finish Breaking Dawn, the last twilight book
Needless to say, it was a wonderful Friday. Hope I didn't make you too jealous.
Have a fabulous day yourself:o)
Hello! This week has been an adventure. Mom and Andie arrived Saturday afternoon, and we had a weekend of eating various chocolate stuff, hanging out and eating with friends, and then eating more chocolate. I worked a 1/2 day Monday, then arrived for my LASIK at 3:30 that afternoon. 2 hours later, I walked out with clear plastic "bug shields" taped over my eyes, and Mom and Andie drove us back to my apt. I took a couple of pain pills, and I do vaguely remember a few people who came by..:o) Mom said I thanked everybody ...over and over and over. :o)Tuesday morning I took the bug shields off, and went for my follow-up. He said that I was seeing almost 20/20, and Mom, Andie, and I spent the rest of the day running errands and finishing my birthday shopping.:o) Wearing sunglasses indoors was kinda funny, and I felt like I needed to explain to everyone that I had just had eye surgery. Overall, my vision is really good, with a light haze like I'm wearing an old pair of contacts. Thankfully, Heather and Steven offered to drive me to church tonight, which worked out great because I found out my eyes are really sensitive to headlights, which also have huge haloes and glares around them - I'm told this will go away over the next several weeks.
Thanks to everybody who said a prayer for me!
Hello! I've been informed it's time for an update, so here goes....
I'm scheduled for LASIK Aug 11th. I'm very excited, and a little nervous. So if you have any horrific eye surgery stories...please keep them to yourself. :o)
My sister joined pleo - she's "soysauce" :o) I'd link her, but I can't remember how. She is a mighty fabulous sister, I have to say. She is also a pro at making chocolate chip cookies, which she sells by the batch. I talked to Mom tonight, and she was buying more shortening because Andie had 3 batches to make for tomorrow... :o)
It's been fun buying presents recently - we've got 5 family birthdays in 2 weeks time!
Glad you are having a great month so far.. :o)
