• February 12, 2010 -- SNOW!

Christmas is nearly here, and I’m totally not feeling it.  I actually got decorations up this year (note that I had to completely redecorate the tree this past weekend because I had to replace one string of lights that had gone out)…  But haven’t gotten all my Christmas shopping done yet.

Keith and I are volunteering with the soup kitchen tomorrow; hopefully that will help me get my head on straight.

I had my front brakes worked on yesterday.  They’ve been bad for a while; I’d gotten a quote at Brakes Plus a few months back, then when I had my oil changed & car inspected at a local shop last month they gave me an unsolicited quote for the brakes that beat the other one.  What finally got me to split with 200 hard-earned dollars was that they sent me a coupon for 30% off labor if done by the end of the year.  Thus… new brakes (pads, whatever).

Work’s been kicking my butt lately.  I love the work, don’t get me wrong, it’s just very tiring & stressful – and it’s not the kind of work you just leave at the office.  With email on my Mogul (yeah that’s another story I’ve never told here, but I ditched the Treo way back and “upgraded” to another phone I hate but am stuck with) and a company laptop…  I still end up working at home, after 10-12 (or longer) hour days.  And then there are the technical problems I crunch on subconsciously, and wake up at all kinds of crazy hours thinking about…

I’m determined to drop a few pounds before our next trip to Gulf Shores this coming April…  I just haven’t been able to squeeze in any trips to the gym, and with this crazy, unpredictable Texas weather – one day it’ll be walks and bike-riding in shorts one day, while bundling up like an eskimo the next (no exercise those days).  And don’t get me started on trying to eat healthy during the holidays….  ;-)

Oh.  Here’s a shocker for anybody that knows me…  I think we’re getting a cat.  !!!  Yeah, you read that right!  Keith’s mom has two Ragdoll cats she’s been trying to find homes for.  I’m STILL not completely sold on it, but Keith’s committed us to a trial run.  I’m just thinking about MORE vet bills, another mouth to feed, kitty litter, claws on my leather sofa, cat pee, Khaki the ferocious Chihuahua….  lol  (really, I’m not a pessimist, I swear!)  We’ll see how it goes.  I’ve got some pics on my phone, I’m just too lazy to go get my phone right now.  I’ll post about it later.

And with that – it’s time to get dressed for work.  If I don’t get another post in before Christmas – have a wonderful Christmas!

So this is the first year for me to have a Christmas tree in the house!  :)

Yeah, decorating for Christmas is a big deal for me.  Not so much for scrooge, er, Keith.  He couldn’t care less.  So I decked the halls today all by my lonesome (and 103.7, the Christmas station)!  ;-)
