Forgive me...I haven't forgotten about you.

It's not that I haven't been writing per say.  It's just that right now I'm in the middle of writing a story so with work, house work, bills and everything else, something had to slide to the back burner for a bit.  Did I mention that it is very cold here in Idaho? We get about an inch of snow every single week.  I'm being serious.  When you get an inch every week it starts to get old, I'd like to get eight inches all at once, because then we could make a snowman, and do all of those other cool snow things.

As it is, tough luck trying to make frosty out of an inch of yucky mush. 

The holidays came and went around here, we had a fantastic Christmas, and my Husband got me some awesome gifts.

I got some Dansko clogs for work.
paraffin hand bath
lots of puzzles
jeans
pajamas
a sweat suit
julie and julia
harry potter and the half blood prince
and some other treats and things.

Here is a photo of us at the wing Christmas party all dolled up.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

So it took me almost an hour to get all these pictures loaded.  By that time I needed to leave for work, and well time seems to be going missing.  I swear it was just last week we were eating turkey and now we are only days away from Christmas.  That being said  our house has been decorated for weeks, but we had a week of snow that kept me from taking pictures and posting...snow makes me very lazy for some reason.  I mean you just want to wrap up in your favorite blanket and lay on the couch watching cheesy Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies.

Speaking of cheesy Christmas movies...tell me I'm not alone in that.   I think that one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures is: filling up the DVR with Lifetime movies and then spending a day watching and fast-forwarding while reading blogs and cathing up.  I know most of them are totally predictible and nothing but cliches...but I don't care.  No one can tell me that it isn't a blast to watch the shenanigans that ensue when a child missing a parent decides it't time to find a new mom...okay enoughabout that rant.  It's time for me to get dressed and ready for work.

Work Christmas Party Tonight

Tonight is the AAFES Christmas party, and I'm pretty excited.  I really like the people I work with and I'm looking forward to talking to them outside of work.  I was really worried when I first started working that I wouldn't "fit in" since it had been so long sine I had been around other adults all day (I spent the last two and a half years working with children).  I've been really surprised by how nice everyone is, and how well we get along.  I am someone who comes to work to work, so I do my best to stay out of any kind of drama, although here it seems like everyone has a similar mentality.  I haven't witnessed any tantrums, or trying to get out of doing your own work. 

I am hoping tonight is as much fun as I expect it will be.  I will be posting pictures later.
