ugh

Hey ya'll. I really wanted to update before now. But shit happened. Like a road trip from hell back from PA. Took us 13 hours and I somehow drove 11 of it. W kept feeling too sleepy or dizzy or something, which was a portent of things to come. Seems he came down with whatever his dad had on Christmas Eve and spent Friday puking. The same evil whatever also hit Bubba at 4 am yesterday morning. Right now, I feel about five minutes away from puking myself, but one guess where I am? Work. Blah.

So about the car. It wasn't a surprise, because I had to sign over the title on my Stratus, which got pretty much nothing for trade in. But I have one payment left on W's truck, and the first car payment will be a few weeks after that. I'll try to get some pics, but see above. Very unmotivated. I haven't even upload the Christmas pictures yet.

I finally got to meet my niece, W's brother M's little girl, who he is in an ugly custody battle over. She's beautiful and such a good baby. Too bad she has a total witch for a mother. Their court date is Wednesday, and things should go in his favor, but you never know.

Overall, Christmas was great. Bubba got incredibly spoiled and was batshit when he realized Santa brought him exactly what he wanted. Considering Santa didn't FIND exactly what he wanted until oh, the 22nd. He was also pleased with the other stuff we scrounged up for him, not to mention all the goodies from the inlaws. We were totally crammed into my car coming home with everything. I got goodies, too, of course, and my favorite (aside from the car) was the big, fluffy, supersoft bathrobe, in guess what color, oh mud friends of mine! Noone else quite understood why I squeaked, OH IT'S MAUVE!!!! *sigh*

W also scored points with a little gag gift. I have a tendency to be watching something or other on tv and getting upset at the unbelievability of it and 'raising the bullshit flag.' Well, now I have a bullshit button, and it says five different bullshit sayings when you press it. I laughed out loud big time when I opened that one.

I froze my tush off in Pennsylvania, and am so glad to be back to my 60 and 70 degree weather. It's supposed to get cold here again, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying my new sunroof in the car!!

Hope ya'll had a wonderful holiday. Best wishes for a great New Year. 2008 here we come, may you be better than '07. For everyone.

ETA: minutes after hitting publish, the puking has commenced. pray i make it home.

forgive me.....

......for leaving this for the last minute, but I've been swamped at the office because I'm taking a whole week off....I won't be back in front of a computer for like a week, either, since I don't get much time at the inlaws to compute.

But y'all. My husband? Pulled one out of his ass, and bought me a new fucking car for Christmas. Yes, a brand new, 2008 Dodge Caliber....go google it! I am so flipping over the moon. I'll catch ya'll up later, because I have to leave to go to the bank and then get Bubba and then go home and pack. We're leaving tonite. In my NEW CAR!!! It's fantastic.

Merry Christmas y'all. See ya, and here's hoping I don't freeze my ass off in PA.

Love ya!!!!

hectic

So the radio statio Christmas party was last Friday. It was awesome. I ate too much, drank just enough to get happy, without getting obliterated, and overall had a wonderful time. We had a surprise from the big boss, a chinese auction, or white elephant game as some call it. It got ugly. Fighting over gift cards to the mall. Lemme tell ya, we had awesome gifts in the mix, best I've ever seen at a party like this. I tried to swipe a gift card, but got swiped right back, and ended up with a certificate for golf for four at one of the fancy places. Turns out, it's gonna be Boss1's present! He should absolutely love it, and I feel no guilt for regifting it.

I still have some Christmas shopping to do, but have no motivation to do so. I just want it all to be over. I'm dreading the trip to Pittsburgh, because of many things. Bubba will enjoy it, I'm sure, so I guess that's all that matters.

Speaking of Bubba, he helped us wrap a batch of presents last nite. We still need to get his wrapped and figure out what we're taking with us and what is staying here. We finally got him to tell us what he told Santa he wanted, which started the mad scramble to find it. Which W was able to do yesterday.

Our secretaries tea and gift exchange is this afternoon. We do a secret pal thing all year long and the big reveal is today, of course. I can't wait to see the look on my pal's face, when she realizes it's been me all year long. She normally figures out who has her, but she hasn't this year. I knew who had me for the first part of the year, because she left the office, and told me, but then I got someone new, and I'm not sure who it is.

It's absolutely freezing down here today. The low overnight was like 25. Hello, I live at the beach, I moved here to get away from those temperatures!!!! Blah. I know most of you have much colder weather, but man. I can't even imagine how cold it's going to be in PA next week. I don't have a heavy coat. I don't want a heavy coat. I don't want to NEED a heavy coat. I sincerely hope it doesn't snow, at least not when we are driving home. If we get a little for Christmas, it'll be ok, because Bubba will get to play again. For as long as I can manage to stay out in the cold, anyway.

Ok, I gotta get back to work. I'm behind thanks to last minute stuff with Boss1 yesterday. And I hear him down the hall, so it's time to get back to work. See ya.

If I don't make it back before I leave, Merry Christmas to all. Hope it's a wonderful holiday for you and all your wishes come true.

woo hooo!

My boys are on the way home, having left around 10 this morning. I should see them in about 5-6 hours!!!! One last nite of freedom at home, and then back to the craziness that is life at my house with my boys. But I'm looking forward to it. I miss them both so much.

This dog really enjoys snow

In an effort to continue to not post anything about what I've been up to, which is nothing, really, here's another youtube video I found. It's funny, and it makes me smile, especially since I don't have to deal with all the snow.

As she says, "Eye Candy"

I stole this from Missy's Myspace, because I just had to. The tenth pic, of John and Kenny smiling huge is my favorite. I think. There are some awesomse shots of them both in it. I'm so totally drooling. The slideshow is from their video shoot for "Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace." Missy, I think this might be more appropriate for the Mafia page, huh? Oh well, it's here.

This is the one I mean.

Another video

Big & Rich with John Anderson, "Seminole Wind" This was on CMT a while back, on a Cross Country special.

If...

noone hears from me for a while, it's because I'm jail for killing my fucking asshole dickhead shitbag husband. Think I can manage that when he's still 750 miles away? Anyone wanna add any insult names? Most of mine entail some variation of fuck.

Stuff I'm grooving to.

trying to post some videos i've been liking lately, and it won't work the way I want. This one has emedding turned off so I have to link to it. It's Big and Rich with Bon Jovi, "We Got It Going On". Hope you enjoy.
