Happy National Engineers Week!

Sorry I've been MIA this week (well I'm Mia every week... haha)

Anyway, we had a killer snow storm starting Monday night and ending late Tuesday/early Wednesday.  It was a nerve-racking drive to and from work. For once, I wasn't the one passing everyone! Thankfully, both myself and the hubster got home safely, even if it did take a lot longer. 

Can't wait to bust out of here early on Friday! We have my slis watching the dogs this weekend and we are going skiing in Maine with Ms. Alys and Ms. K-ra! Can't wait to ski and hang out and see the Caddles!  They are super generous and hosting us for the weekend, so it will be a great time!

Alright thats all for now, I'm keeping it short today!

frustrated friday

started off the day by making the 25 min drive to work, only to realize i forgot my gift for the gift exchange so had to drive all the way home and then all the way back! not the best way to begin...

we are doing a toys for tots gift swap... meaning we drew a name of someone we work with and bought a toy with them in mind. after that person unwraps the toy, all the toys are donated to toys for tots... i guess its good in theory, but i'm sad i'm not getting any surprise booze from the yankee swap this year (thats a white elephant for all you non-new englanders... like my husband).

anyway, thank goodness for happy hour after work today! hopefully i will live through the day to make it there! also getting my new tires put on the car tonight! yahoo! because tomorrow, there is supposed to be an epic snow storm hitting us... which, sadly, may hinder our trip to boston... but we are playing it by ear! so who knows what may happen... maybe a Christmas Miracle?

If life deals you lemons...

make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys. But if it deals you a truckload of hand grenades... now THAT'S a message!

and so it begins...holiday celebrations commence tonight... work party at the ivory; tomorrow night: kevin's party at nikitas; saturday: xmas party of ms. lers and mr gately... next tuesday: engagement party for my cousin, next thursday: forristall annual xmas eve blowout... we are going to be busy little bees for the next 1.5 weeks!

got a call from bj's today... my new tires are in, so i'm going to get those put on the car at some point over the next 3 days... also hearing it might snow sunday? yuk with a side of yuk!

i don't know if i can express how excited i am that a week from today i will be on my xmas vacation!!!! sleeping in for 11 days in a row? yes please! no plans for travel other than back down to c-town for Monte Xmas... hopefully i will be a motivated little suzy homemaker and cook every day for my hubby! but more than likely, i will probably be reading!

alright, signing off for the day... i see a black-n-gorgonzola chicken sandwich in my future!
