Monday Update

Yesterday was a very good day. I made a new recipe, 'Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies'. They are very good and taste kind of like spice cake. The chili was some of the best ever. Everyone had a really good time. After supper we all watched 'It Happened One Night', an old black & white film from 1934.

Chloe came home yesterday afternoon and spent the night. She always adds so much to the conversation at the dinner table. She also had some fun pictures on her camera that she shared with Wanda and me. It is always nice to have one of the kids in the house. Ashley will be coming home today. She plans to stop by Thomas and Diedre's on the way here. This is going to be the best Christmas in years!!

Saturday Update

Happy Saturday before Christmas everyone. Just a few more days and the kids will start coming home. This is my favorite time of year. I finished most of my Christmas shopping yesterday. Just a few little things and stocking stuffers left. Also need to get to the Christmas baking.

Friday Update

Wow it is only 1 week from Christmas. I found out this week that I do have Christmas Eve & New Years Eve day off from work. Yeah!!!

Doug and I did some Christmas shopping last night. It was a good shopping trip and we found some good stuff for under the tree. Can't wait for next week. I don't want Christmas Day to get here too fast, because I want my time with Ashley to slow down.

Have a good Friday everyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS mixed up "12 Days Of Christmas"

Thursday Update

Yesterday was not quite as busy at work. We got a little bit of a breather. Today is food day, I baked Peanut Butter Blossoms last night. Yummy....

IPTV to air Christmas with Wartburg 2007– Iowa Public Television will air the 2007 performance of Christmas with Wartburg on IPTV.1 at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20, and on World.3 at 6 p.m. on Christmas Day.

Wednesday Update

Yesterday was another busy day at work. The week still is not going fast enough for me. Although I still have a lot to finish before Christmas.

Ashley will not be driving down from MN until Monday. I was hoping she would be here for our chili on Sunday. She says she found an amazing sugar cookie recipe, I asked if it was a good as Wanda's and she thinks it is. She is planning to make some while she is here.

Last night Mark plowed our parking spot on the street and then he and Wanda came over for supper. We had Brinner with Morel Mushrooms in the scrambled eggs. They stayed and watched The Hangover with us. They also think it is a very funny movie.

It looks like Bob Parsons is moving his customer service center back to the old Hiawatha office where I started. I wonder if he plans to do the same thing he did with his old company and sell if off eventually.

Tuesday Update

We had another Cyber Monday at work yesterday. We did not know about it until we got to work though. It was a crazy day with nonstop phone calls.

Last night was pretty relaxing. I washed the Sunday dishes which weren't to bad. We ate yummy leftovers for supper and then watched Two & a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. Both were Christmas shows.

Monday Update

The Chicken Cacciatore Soup Was fantastic last night. I look forward to having it again for lunch today. Wanda's bagel dip and chocolate covered krispie treats were delicious as well.

Last night was the final episode of this seasons Dexter. We did not see that coming. I don't know what is going to happen to Dexter now...

Sunday Update

Yesterday was a great day. Thomas came for a little visit. We watched the Hangover with him, he also thought it was very funny. After he left to the Christmas party he and Diedre were going to, Doug and I went grocery shopping. Nothing exciting happened while shopping. The shoppers weren't even too annoying. Thomas came home with a big spotlight thing, which was his exchange gift. It is very, very bright. You do not want to look straight at it. He thinks it will be great to chase away the kids that knock on their windows at home.

Pee-Wee Herman's big comeback opening next month in downtown Los Angeles at Club Nokia theater.

Saturday Update

Yesterday was a good day. A little long at work but not bad. My supervisor finally had her daughter early Friday morning, 8 lb. 6 oz. & 21" long.

Last night we watched one of the funniest movies ever, The Hangover. It has to be in the top 10 must have movies. We just roared laughing.

We also found out Thomas & Diedre are coming to town today. Diedre's family has a Christmas gathering in Iowa City. I knew it was coming up, but I had forgotten it was this weekend.

Friday Update

I'm glad it is Friday. Yesterday our phones at work kept cutting out, the customer would still be on the line when the phone came back up. It still made some customers angry and want to yell at us more. Other people understood when you would tell them about the storm.

Thursday Update

It figures, the snow blower we got from my Dad does not start. We had to move the old fashioned way with our shovels. It was either very heavy snow or I am getting to old. The muscles in my arms, shoulders and legs hurt. It also took me hours to warm up after coming in out of the cold and wind.

I also managed to address Christmas cards, wrap one Christmas gift, wash one load of laundry and watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I went to bed after Glee last night because I was so exhausted.

Wednesday Update

We have lots of snow, not sure how much yet. I will be surprised if work is not cancelled. I am up and getting ready just in case. They have not been by in awhile to plow the street. Last night before I went to bed they only plowed down the middle of the street. If I don't have to go to work today, it will be the perfect time to address our Christmas cards and get them ready to mail. I could also get a start on wrapping presents. And shovel snow of course. We will most likely get the snow blower out for the first time.

Tuesday Update

I wish I could go back to bed and take a snow day. Didn't do much yesterday, came home from work and washed the Sunday dishes, ate supper and baked cookies while watching Two & a Half Men and Big Bang Theory. Hope we don't get too much snow while I am at work today.

Sunday Update

Yesterday was a good day, saved by Wanda of course. In the afternoon I went to do my usual shopping and Doug decided to take a nap instead of coming along. I went to several stores before ending up at Hy Vee. I paid for my groceries and went to the van. I looked in my purse and my pockets and could not find my keys. Then I looked in the car and sure enough there they were locked in. I tried calling Doug no answer, so I call Wanda's house, again no answer. I did not have Wanda's cell number, so I called Thomas just so someone would know my predicament. He asked if I had Wanda's cell number and I said "No". He said "I do" and gave it to me. Luckily I got through to Wanda and she came and took me home. Of course I had to wake Doug up by shouting into the bedroom window, because I was locked out of the house as well.

Later we went to Mark & Wanda's for Pizza Ranch Taco Pizza and broasted chicken with potato wedges. It was delicious. We had our own Christmas card Stampin' party. Doug helped us cut paper for the cards. And later Mark and Doug joined in and created a few cards of their own. I think everyone had a good time. I will post pictures of the cards as soon as they are uploaded to the computer.

Saturday Update

Yesterday seemed like the longest day of the week. I guess it was because I was hoping for it to get over quickly.

Last night Doug and I did some online Christmas shopping. I found it to be fun, but I think Doug was a bit stressed. I think today will be a busy day. Cleaning, laundry, shopping and Christmas card making.

Have a great weekend all!

Happy Friday everyone. I hope the work day goes by quickly. Tomorrow we have a little shopping to do. We have to plan for a little Christmas baking. Tomorrow night we plan to go over to Wanda and Mark's house do have a little Christmas card Stampin' Party. Which reminds me, I still need to get my card list together.

Tuesday Update

Yesterday was back to normal at work. Not nearly as busy as Monday. In the afternoon we had a Go To Meeting training session on a new product release. The meeting was interrupted in the middle with no sound, so an hour meeting ended up taking an hour and a half.

Not much happened last night. Doug and I went to Sam's Club for a few things and then we ate supper and watched Dirty Jobs and the new season of Scrubs. I don't like Scrubs as much now that they are teaching.

Tuesday Update

Cyber Monday was crazy. I ended up working 7-5:15. Last Night Doug and I watched The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Shrek the Halls and Find My Family. Love the first two, not sure yet how I feel about Find My Family.

Monday Update

It is Cyber Monday, that means 50% off everything on our web site today only. It is going to be freakin' busy.

Cream of the Holidays Soup was amazing. Doug also added a new soup. Turkey & Mushroom Noodle, it was very good as well. It was nice to have Chloe visit again before she went back to school. She helped me decorate the big & small tree. We went to Walgreens to get LED lights for the small tree and I sent a string of LEDs with Chloe for her small tree. Loving the new lights for both trees.

Dexter was amazing again last night. I was the crazy one talking to the TV and actually grabbing at the TV during Dexter last night. Only 2 episodes left this season and next week is supposed to have even more twists. Wanda and I can't wait.

Saturday Update

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. It has been so busy around here I have not had time to blog for a few days. I know I had a very good Thanksgiving. It was good to have most of the kids here. We missed you Ash.

Black Friday shopping was fun as usual. A lot more people at the Marion Walmart than we had expected. Thomas was a little nervous of the crowd at Menards. We end up in and out of that store in record time. I had to go to work, but Thomas and Diedre continued shopping and got everything they were looking for.

Thomas and Diedre are going home this morning. I will miss little Parker, he has been a very nice house guest. I just wish Mao would loosen up and have fun instead of trying to be such a tough guy.

Wednesday Update

One more day until Thanksgiving. I will be working early again today. It should be busy after work tonight. I will be baking two pumpkin pies, we need to take one to Ethan. He is the only one in his family who likes pumpkin pie. I hope the weather holds out so Thomas and Diedre have a safe trip this afternoon.

Tuesday Update

Tuesday already. Yesterday was crazy with people yelling on the phones at me and my co-workers. I had a woman yell at me that her name was 'dissatisfied customer'. It doesn't seem like the holidays at all. I even have to work the day after Thanksgiving. It's been quite a while since I've done that.

Monday Update

The weekend went too quickly again. I hope the first three days of this week go quickly as well. Yesterday the food was excellent; pulled pork, chicken, cole slaw, chips and chocolate pie. Yummy...

Dexter was quite the shocker at the end. What an amazing show.

Sunday Update

Yesterday was a very productive day. I got quite a bit of cleaning done and my Thanksgiving shopping finished. In the evening we went over to Curt's apartment to visit. It was quite a crowd; Roger, Randy, Randy's friend (not sure of his name) and Luke were down from MN. Chloe and Ross stopped in for a little while. There was also Andrew, Jessica, Big & Little Q, Cassiele (sp), Keelea, Cathy Thomas and Walt. It was very loud, but fun. We were also invited to brunch this morning, we have not decide yet whether we are going.

Today we are having pulled pork sandwiches, chips, Wanda's cole slaw and a dessert.

Saturday Update

It's the weekend at last! Last night we had Mark & Wanda over for pizza and a movie. We watched The Boat That Rocked. I know we already watched it recently, but it was even better the second time.

Not sure what I have planned for today. Probably go over my menu for Thanksgiving and get some cleaning out of the way. Doug plans to join Curt and company at Third Base to watch the Iowa/Minnesota game. They were originally coming here and the plans changed mid-week.

Friday Update

It's Friday finally. We went to the City Council meeting last night. Not as many people there as I thought there would be. They voted for going ahead with plan "D". This of course includes a round-about. Not good news.

Thursday Update

What a day at work yesterday. We started the day with absolutely no phone calls. It was actually great for us not so good for the customers. Our 800 number was telling people our phone was no longer in service. The only calls we ended up getting all day were from our toll number which had to be added to our web site. I probably took 10-15 calls all day, I usually take 50-60. It did help us get caught up on other work though. I still plan to work overtime this morning. We were so far behind on emails that even yesterday did not get us all caught up.
