Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

Here's a couple pics of the new car. I didn't realize how small it was until I saw it by the truck. : )




New kitten...


For some reason they both like my purse, but the little one thought he needed to climb in and eat it. They're getting along much better now so we won't have to find a new home for Buckaroo.



Thanksgiving was pretty uneventful, I cooked for the two of us and we just hung out at home and got ready for some black Friday shopping. The sales didn't seem as great this year, but I got a few things off of my shopping list for a reduced price, so that was nice. I didn't want to take forever shopping, so I tried to stick to my gift list, but I always checked to see if the KitchenAid mixers were on sale. I have decided that I would love to have one and thought Black Friday could be my lucky day, but unfortunately those weren't ever part of the sale. However, I mentioned to Steven that I wanted to check that out and he started looking online and found some for much better prices on ebay. I'm looking forward to having it for making lots of holiday treats!

I put up our Christmas tree yesterday. I was afraid the cats were going to think it was a new toy just for them, but they've actually been really good! The kitten must have thought it tasted good because he kept trying to chew on it, but after keeping an eye on him with a squirt bottle, he has been fine. Tom just liked to be under the tree, I guess it's like a little cave for her, but she didn't try to climb it or eat it. I need to put up a few more things and do some more chores today, but I'm off to go lie down and rest since I don't feel well.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!

TGIF!

Whew! What a week!! It's been quite insane, but I'm going to make this brief since it's about time to head home.

-work has been crazy, but today I feel like I'm finally on top of things. Please remind me that it's not smart to be out of the office for 4.5 days in two weeks if I can help it.

-we got a kitten. He's so cute, little black boy with some areas of reddish /brown. Tom does not like him though, which is unfortunate. We're hoping they'll start to get along and they are better than at first, but we'll see. We figure we'll give them about a week and if she still doesn't like the new guy, we'll find him a new home. We won't send him back to where we got him though. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I hope we keep him because he is incredibly sweet and playful. If Tom learns to like him and they play well together, he'll be able to stay.

-We got our new car! It came on Wednesday evening, but we've been unable to drive it until now because we didn't have the license plates...I think we're taking it out to dinner tonight.

I can't think of anything else that's been going on lately, which is why I've been bad about posting! Sorry! I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, but we really don't have any big plans. It's looking like I'll just be cooking for the two of us, unless we find some new military family members that are going to be around.

Time to head home - have a fabulous weekend!!

crazy week

This week has been a weird one.

I started off by going to orientation on Mon/ Tues for my new permanent position at work. It was nice to get out of the office, but now I feel totally behind. I won't really be able to catch up either because I will be leaving tomorrow at about 12:45 and won't be back until late Monday morning. That's good news though because my mom is coming to visit. :) I hope we can find some fun things to do around here and that the weather is nice! I know it's supposed to be cold and rainy tomorrow, but Friday- Sunday should be pretty.

We also bought a car....sorta. We're in the process of getting the paperwork done. I hope it'll ship soon and be here sometime next week! Yippee!!

I'm trying to do L2 of the 20 day shred...and for anyone who cares - it's a killer. I was so grumpy today when I left work, so it was the first thing I did when I got home. I'm no longer grumpy - I don't have the energy to be!

That's all for now, hopefully we'll do something interesting while my mom is here so I have something to share next week!
