The morning began with my husband waking me up out of a sound sleep. It seems that one of our anniversary balloons unattached itself from the bunch and floated across the living room, up the stairs making the complete turn and into the hallway outside of our bedroom door. It was odd I had to admit. I thought that maybe the cats had chewed it loose or something. It has been with the rest of the balloons since our 25th anniversary, which was November 4th. He showed me the ends of the ribbons. They weren't frayed at all. With all of the 'cosmic' activity in our lives lately, we decided that the Angels were leaving us a message. We think they want us to realize that we came through a lot and hung tough. We are still together. We still love one another. It was a bit spooky though. I have to admit.
I got into work at the usual time only to find the door locked. The office was completely dark. In the six years that I've been there, that has never happened. Everyone was late except for the new girl and me. It was so weird. Five minutes before work time began, a co-worker with a key showed up and we got in and opened the doors to the public right on time. Someone was already waiting.
I mailed out the gifts for my mother and my siblings, nieces and nephews this morning. They will arrive early, but that's a good thing. I have ulterior motives. The gifts are movie tickets. The mothers can get the Dads to take the kids to the movies and get them out of her hair, which creates time for wrapping and holiday preparations. It's my master plan! I do it every year.
The tension at work is so thick that you could literally cut it with a knife. The boss wasn't in today. The co-worker that refused to close the window is on everyone's bad list and the one that asked her to close the window is suffering with a cold and fever. She came to work anyway so as not to get in worse trouble. There's something just so wrong with that.
After work I went to the game store and purchased my last two gifts. My husbands gift got back ordered and won't be delivered until who knows when so I had to shop for a different one. It kind of made me angry. I was done and very organized about the whole thing. Hubby asked me what I'd like for Christmas. I asked him to pay the bill for my hair tomorrow. It's very expensive and since I'm filming the Children's show on the 10th I need to get it done. He agreed. It's the perfect gift. I'm so happy.
I saw the funniest commercial...actually I've seen it a million times lately- but I laugh every single time. It's the preview for a show that is coming called "Men Of A Certain Age." Ray Romano says to his friend, "I lost two pounds by peeing last night." His friend retorts, "You can't lose two pounds just by peeing." Ray adds, "My record is two and a half!" Every time I see it I crack up. I'm going to check and see how much I lose before and after just to see. It's an experiment! ;-)
I had fruit salad for breakfast, Smart Ones and Yogurt for lunch, turkey cutlets, rice pilaf and green beans left over from last night for dinner. No snacks. I had body conditioning class tonight too. 40 minutes at 2.8. I did okay. I feel tired but I feel good. I haven't gotten it up to 3.0 again. My legs just won't take it. Still, I'm not unhappy. I'm actually worried about what might happen after the class ends and I'm forced into a class where we need to sit and take notes. That's a scary thought.
I'm heading upstairs for a hot shower and a warm blanket. I'll sign off here. See you next blog! ;-)
