Tis the Season

Truman is back. We went and picked him up this morning from the boarding place we left him at. He had a great time! When we left there was a white envelope in his bag, and when I opened it there was a Thank You card inside. Puzzled, I opened it and out fell a picture of Truman running in the outside area they have! In the note they thanked us for choosing their place and said that Truman was a sweet dog. Very cool!

The weekend was great! Mr. S.'s parents have rescheduled their Christmas, so we actually had the weekend to ourselves without the dog. I laid around the house and didn't have to take the dog out, get up early...all the fun stuff you do with a dog. Then we went to my mom's Sunday. It was a pretty good time. Mr. S. and I got some fun house stuff. My mom made me a cookbook scrapbook of favorite family recipes. It is so NEAT! Then I received some shelves with awesome baskets. It does not have all of these baskets in it. It is all open and then the baskets I got are striped.

Also, I received a $50 gift card to my favorite clothing store, a Sodoku book, and a wooden Sodoku board.

Those are some of the good things that I got! Mr. S. and I will have Christmas together on Christmas Day...so I am really excited about that. I am going to enjoy the rest of my break and read book 3 and 4 of Twilight. I am currently in the middle of book 3....I LOVE THEM! I think I am going to get back at reading and smell the yummy chicken I am cooking for dinner!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. ~Author Unknown

I am done with New Moon, book 2 of the Twilight Saga. Wow...wow...wow. I do not currently have book 3 at my fingertips, but I NEED it. Now.

Wrist update...it hurts. Badly. I scheduled an appointment for Wednesday. So much for waiting for break, huh? It's pretty painful. I have a brace...a clunky, ugly brace. We'll see what happens.

Our principal is back from maternity leave...life is back to normal again! I felt bad because she walked in in tears yesterday. She was sobbing, "I was okay until I got in the parking lot." Aw...poor Mrs. C. 

Gotta get ready for work. Good day!

Twilight Obsession

I have been intensely preoccupied with Twilight this weekend. Seriously. I started reading and could not stop. I finished the first book and I am about a quarter of the way through the second one. I am not going to lie, I was a little skeptical of these books when I started reading. I am not really into vampire books, but....this was totally different. The Edward Cullen phenomenon? I totally get it. He is so...wow. Perfect...yet frustrating. What a great read!

My wrist is still pretty jacked up. It is painful to type, flex, twist, move my wrist. It is on the ulnar side (pinky-side) right where that pokey little bone is. I have not felt this much pain in my wrist ever...it clicks when I move it from side to side. I think that it is tendonitis...I am going to brace it until I can go to the dr. at Christmas break. Bah.

Great weekend...last night was a girls' night out at the piano bar. What a GREAT time! Mr. S. dropped us off there and came back later to pick us up so we all could partake in the drinking. Yay! Good night! What a great husband! Only 4 more days until our one year anniversary!

I must get back to the town of Forks and see what is happening with Bella....thanks for the new obsession.

TGIF

Things that make this Friday even better...

1. Half a day - Yep, that means all the students will be filtering out of the school at 12:12, not 2:50. YAY! I didn't have as much to plan for today and I always feel more relaxed.

2. Christmas faculty dinner - Catered dinner in. Yep. YUM!

3. Back massages - This would be part of our stress-management in-service. They bring in massage therapists that will do a 10-minute back massage for us. It is the best 10 minutes I could have at school!

4. There are 6 days until Mr. S. and I will celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary! Wow! However, we will be celebrating it at the Christmas program for our school instead of at a romantic dinner.

5. It's time for the weekend! That means I will be able to curl up with Twilight finally!
